The calibration verification material is assayed control with four levels. The analyte levels for IMMULITE 1000 are 0.00, 0.016, 2.70, and 11.2 ng/mL and 0.00, 0.19, 2.90, and 12.0 ng/mL for IMMULITE 2000 systems. The matrix is estriol in processed horse serum. For in vitro diagnostic use. For prescription use only.
Device Story
IMMULITE® Unconjugated Estriol (uE3) Calibration Verification Material (CVM) is a liquid, ready-to-use control consisting of four levels of unconjugated estriol in processed horse serum with preservative. It is used in clinical laboratory settings to verify the calibration and reportable range of IMMULITE® uE3 assays on IMMULITE/IMMULITE® 1000 and 2000 systems. The device is operated by laboratory technicians. The healthcare provider uses the output (recovery of control values) to monitor system performance, ensure assay accuracy, and validate that the instrument's calibration remains within established specifications. This verification process helps ensure the reliability of patient test results, supporting clinical decision-making in pregnancy monitoring.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Stability testing confirmed 6-month shelf life at 2-8°C. Expected values established via 40 replicates per level across three kit lots and three systems (IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 or 2000). Traceability established to internal reference calibrators, which are traceable to human samples assigned via GC-MS.
Technological Characteristics
Liquid, ready-to-use control material. Matrix: processed horse serum with preservative. Four levels of unconjugated estriol. Storage: 2-8°C. Intended for use with IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 and 2000 systems. No electronic or software components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as a quality control material for calibration verification of IMMULITE Unconjugated Estriol (uE3) assays on IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 and 2000 systems. Intended for prescription use in clinical laboratory settings.
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.
