The Special Chemistry Controls are assayed control materials for in vitro diagnostic use to monitor the precision and accuracy of certain chemistry test procedures for the ADVIA Chemistry analyzers.
Device Story
Bayer Special Chemistry Controls are lyophilized quality control materials derived from human serum with added non-serum constituents. They are used to monitor the precision and accuracy of chemistry test procedures on ADVIA Chemistry analyzers. The controls require reconstitution with 5.0 mL of distilled water before use. They are intended for clinical laboratory use by trained personnel to ensure the performance of diagnostic assays. The device provides a reference point for quality control, allowing healthcare providers to verify that chemistry analyzers are functioning correctly, thereby ensuring the reliability of patient test results.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Lyophilized human serum-based control material; requires reconstitution with 5.0 mL distilled water. Analyte list includes Acid Phosphatase, Lactate, Pancreatic Amylase, Lipase, Cholinesterase, and Direct TIBC. Designed for use on ADVIA Chemistry analyzers.
Indications for Use
Indicated for in vitro diagnostic use to monitor the precision and accuracy of chemistry test procedures on ADVIA Chemistry systems.
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.
