Indications for Use
Liquichek Pediatric Control is intended for use as an assayed quality control serum to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures for the analytes listed in this package insert.
Device Story
Liquichek Pediatric Control is a bovine serum-based quality control material containing added chemicals, therapeutic drugs, preservatives, and stabilizers. It is used in clinical laboratories to monitor the precision of testing procedures for analytes including bilirubin (direct/total), caffeine, calcium, chloride, glucose, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and theophylline. The control is provided in liquid form. Laboratory personnel use the product to verify the performance of testing instrumentation and reagents by comparing results against provided mean values and ±3SD ranges. It serves as a guide for laboratories to establish their own acceptable performance ranges, helping ensure the accuracy and reliability of patient test results.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Stability studies (real-time and accelerated) were conducted to establish shelf-life, thawed unopened stability (45 days at 2-8°C), and thawed opened stability (14 days at 2-8°C).
Technological Characteristics
Bovine serum matrix with added chemicals, therapeutic drugs, preservatives, and stabilizers. Liquid form. Storage at -20 to -50°C. Analyte list includes bilirubin, caffeine, calcium, chloride, glucose, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and theophylline.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an assayed quality control serum to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures for specific analytes in a clinical laboratory setting.
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.
