The Elecsys Rubella IgG CalCheck is an assayed calibrator control intended for use in the verification of the calibration established by the Elecsys Rubella IgG reagent on the Elecsys 2010, the MODULAR ANALYTICS E170, and cobas e immunoassay analyzers.
Device Story
Elecsys Rubella IgG CalCheck is a lyophilized quality control product containing human anti-Rubella IgG antibodies in a human serum matrix. It is used by laboratory technicians on Elecsys 2010, MODULAR ANALYTICS E170, and cobas e immunoassay analyzers. The product is reconstituted with distilled or deionized water before use. It serves to verify the calibration established by the Elecsys Rubella IgG reagent. By confirming the accuracy of the calibration, the device ensures the reliability of patient Rubella IgG test results, supporting clinical decision-making regarding Rubella immunity status.

Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an assayed calibrator control to verify calibration of the Elecsys Rubella IgG reagent on specified Roche immunoassay analyzers. No specific patient population, age, or gender contraindications are defined as this is an in vitro diagnostic quality control material.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A quality control material (assayed and unassayed) for clinical chemistry is a device intended for medical purposes for use in a test system to estimate test precision and to detect systematic analytical deviations that may arise from reagent or analytical instrument variation. A quality control material (assayed and unassayed) may be used for proficiency testing in interlaboratory surveys. This generic type of device includes controls (assayed and unassayed) for blood gases, electrolytes, enzymes, multianalytes (all kinds), single (specified) analytes, or urinalysis controls.

# K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable):
Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff - Assayed and Unassayed Quality Control Material (http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/oivd/guidance/2231.html)
# L. Test Principle:
"Calibration verification is the assaying of calibration materials in the same manner as patient samples to confirm that the calibration of the instrument kit or test system has remained stable throughout the laboratory's reportable range for patient test results." (42 Code of U.S. Federal Regulations. Part 493.1217. Standard; Calibration and calibration verification procedures.) (sic.)
{3}
Calibration verification is not a requirement of the Elecsys and cobas e immunoassay systems based on the manufacturer's recommendations. However, CalCheck solutions can be used in instances where such a test procedure is required by certification agencies, or where the user wishes to document calibration verification.

c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Traceability:
Elecsys Rubella IgG CalCheck is Standardized against the NIBSC 1st International Standard for Anti-Rubella Immunoglobulin, Human. The NIBSC standard is reconstituted and a serial dilution set is created from it. A master curve is derived using the NIBSC dilution set. The master calibrators are assigned values using the master curve. From the master calibrators a master curve is derived. In turn the CalChecks are assigned values using the master curve based on the master calibrators. Values are assigned using a minimum of,
- 4 Elecsys 2010 / cobas e 411 analyzers,
- 4 MODULAR ANALYTICS E170/ cobas e 601 analyzers.
Six independent series of analyses are performed on each instrument. Each sample is tested in duplicate. The target value is then calculated as the median of the determined values. Approximate target values are given in the table below. Lot-specific target values may differ slightly after value assignment.
| Rubella IgG CalCheck Level | Rubella IgG Target Values (IU/mL) |
| --- | --- |
| Check 2 (low) | 10 |
| Check 3 (medium) | 250 |
| Check 4 (high) | 400 |

## Stability:
Two studies were performed in order to verify the stability claims for the Elecsys Rubella IgG CalCheck. The data was generated using Rubella IgG master calibrators, which have the same composition and target values as Rubella IgG CalCheck.
Study 1: Accelerated Stability: Reference and on-test material are tested in duplicate. The on-test material is stored at 35°C for 3 weeks, the reference material at 2-8°C. The on-test recovery is calculated as a percent of the reference value. The acceptance criterion was recovery of 90-110% of the reference value. The unopened Rubella IgG CalCheck is stable up to the stated expiration date.
## Accelerated Stability
| Sample | Mean [IU/mL] | On-test as a % of Reference |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Reference: | Stores at 4°C | |
| Low | 9.65 | - |
| Medium | 239 | - |
| High | 398 | - |
| On-Test: | 3 weeks at 35°C | |
| Low | 9.52 | 99% |
| Medium | 232 | 97% |
| High | 383 | 96% |
Study 2: Open Vial Stability: The Elecsys Rubella IgG CalCheck test material and reference material are tested in duplicate. The test material is reconstituted, stored for four hours at 25°C (in open vial). The reference material is a freshly reconstituted set of Elecsys Rubella IgG CalChecks. The acceptance criterion was recovery of 90-110% of the reference value.
The reconstituted Elecsys Rubella IgG is stable up to 4 hours at 20-25°C.
