This product is intended for in vitro diagnostic use in the quality control of Cardiac Markers on clinical chemistry and Immunoassay systems.
Device Story
Tri-Level Cardiac Control consists of lyophilized human serum provided at three distinct constituent concentrations; used as quality control material to monitor accuracy and precision of clinical chemistry cardiac assays. Product is reconstituted to 1 ml volume by laboratory personnel; utilized in clinical laboratory settings to validate assay performance. Provides reference points for clinicians to verify cardiac monitoring test results; ensures reliability of diagnostic data used in clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Lyophilized human serum; three constituent concentration levels; 1 ml reconstituted volume. Class I device under 21 CFR 862.1660.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by qualified laboratory personnel for quality control of accuracy and precision in clinical chemistry cardiac monitoring applications. Available in three constituent concentrations (levels I, II, and III) based on lyophilized human serum.
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.

# M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility: NA
b. Linearity/assay reportable range: NA
c. Traceability (controls, calibrators, or method): The analytes are not traceable to Standards. Values are assigned from a consensus of a number of laboratories (4 to 43- depending on the analyte and method) and for CK-MB and myoglobin also from in house testing using Randox methods against a master lot of controls on a Hitachi 911 and AU400 (CK-MB) and a Hitachi 717 (myoglobin).
Real time stability was performed and all values must meet the Randox acceptance criteria. Stability of reconstituted controls was also performed at 4 °C and 25 °C and the product labeled accordingly.
c. Detection limit: NA
d. Analytical specificity: NA
e. Assay cut-off: NA
2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device: NA
b. Matrix comparison: NA
