Lyphochek Elevated Immunosuppressant Control is intended for use as a whole blood quality control to monitor the precision of laboratory procedures for cyclosporine testing. For Prescription Use only
Device Story
Lyphochek Elevated Immunosuppressant Control is a processed human whole blood lysate quality control material; provided in lyophilized form for stability. Used in clinical laboratories to monitor the precision of cyclosporine testing procedures. The control is reconstituted by laboratory personnel and used to verify assay performance. It does not contain sodium azide; utilizes a broad-spectrum anti-microbial cocktail. Stability claims include 14 days at 2-8°C after reconstitution and 30 days at -10 to -20°C after reconstitution and freezing. The device provides a bi-level (Levels 4 and 5) control for cyclosporine, serving as a quality assurance tool to ensure accurate clinical decision-making based on patient immunosuppressant drug levels.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing to establish shelf life and open-vial stability. Stability protocols confirmed 14-day open-vial stability at 2-8°C and 30-day stability at -10 to -20°C after reconstitution and freezing.
Technological Characteristics
Processed human whole blood lysate; lyophilized. Contains broad-spectrum anti-microbial cocktail (<0.1% concentration). Bi-level (Levels 4 and 5) control for cyclosporine. Storage: 2°C to 8°C. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as a whole blood quality control to monitor the precision of laboratory procedures for cyclosporine testing.
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.

I. Device Description:
Lyphochek Elevated Immunosuppressant Control is a bi-level (levels 4 and 5) with 2 mL per level of solution containing cyclosporine. The base matrix for these solutions is processed human whole blood lysate. The human donor unit used to produce this control was tested by FDA accepted methods and found non-reactive for Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAG), antibody to Hepatitis C (HCV) and antibody to HIV-1/HIV-2.
