Device Story
HemoCue GlucoTrol is an assayed quality control material used to monitor the performance of HemoCue B-Glucose analyzers. It serves as a surrogate for whole blood samples to verify system accuracy and precision. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals; provides known glucose values to validate analyzer function; ensures reliable patient testing results.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Studies included open/closed vial glucose stability, day-to-day precision, and comparative precision testing of five levels of GlucoTrol versus three levels of predicate control across five HemoCue B-Glucose analyzers (replicates of six).
Technological Characteristics
Assayed liquid control material; matrix and chemical composition matched to predicate whole blood control; compatible with HemoCue B-Glucose analyzer systems.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an assayed quality control material for monitoring the performance of the HemoCue B-Glucose analyzer system.
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.
