The DOCUMENT® Salicylate CAL•VER® solutions are intended for in vitro diagnostic use in the quantitative determination of linearity, calibration verification, verification of Analytical Measurement Range (AMR) and verification of the reportable range on immunochemistry and clinical chemistry systems for salicylate. Multiple levels are provided to establish the linear relationship between theoretical operation and actual performance. There exists a linear relationship among each of the solutions.
Device Story
DOCUMENT® Salicylate CAL•VER® consists of 5 levels of human serum-based solutions containing salicylate (0–100 mg/dL) with added preservatives. Used in clinical chemistry/immunochemistry laboratories by technicians to verify instrument performance; specifically linearity, calibration, and Analytical Measurement Range (AMR). The device provides a known linear relationship across levels to compare against instrument output. By confirming the instrument's reportable range and linear performance, the device ensures the accuracy of patient salicylate test results, aiding clinicians in therapeutic monitoring and toxicity assessment.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing performed using SYNCHRON CX4 analyzer with SYNCHRON systems Salicylate reagent. Twenty-one replicates across three runs for each of the five levels demonstrated coefficient of variation (CV) deviations of less than 10%. Traceability established via USP standard.
Technological Characteristics
Liquid human serum matrix with preservatives. Five-level concentration set (0–100 mg/dL). Storage at 2°C to 8°C. Quantitative control material.
Indications for Use
Indicated for in vitro diagnostic use to verify linearity, calibration, and reportable range of salicylate assays on immunochemistry and clinical chemistry systems. No specific patient population or contraindications described.
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.
