The following analytes are listed in the package insert: Alpha-1 Acidglycoprotein, Alpha-1 Antitrypsin, Apolipoprotein A1 (APO A1), Apolipoprotein B (APO B), Beta-2 Microglobulin, Ceruloplasmin, Complement C3, Complement C4, C-Reactive Protein, Haptoglobin, Immunoglobulin A, Immunoglobulin G. Immunoglobulin M, Prealbumin, Rheumatoid Factor (RF), and Transferrin,
Device Story
Multichem P is a liquid, human serum-based quality control material used in clinical laboratories to monitor the precision of testing procedures for various biochemical analytes. It is provided in single-level 3 mL vials. The control is prepared from human serum supplemented with purified biochemical extracts, chemicals, drugs, and stabilizers. It is intended for use by laboratory professionals on clinical chemistry systems (e.g., Abbott ARCHITECT c8000). The healthcare provider uses the control to verify the performance of their analytical methods; if the control results fall within established statistical limits, the provider gains confidence in the accuracy of patient sample testing. The device benefits patients by ensuring the reliability and precision of diagnostic test results, thereby supporting accurate clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Performance was established via bench testing, including value assignment and stability studies. Stability was validated using accelerated and real-time testing on the Abbott ARCHITECT c8000 system, supporting a 30-month shelf-life at -20°C to -80°C and 14-day open-vial stability at 2-8°C. Value assignment ranges were established with a 20% criterion.
Technological Characteristics
Human serum-based matrix with added biochemical extracts, chemicals, and stabilizers. Liquid form. Storage: -20°C to -80°C. Open-vial stability: 14 days at 2-8°C. Analyte monitoring for proteins and immunoglobulins. No electronic components or software algorithms.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as a single-level assayed quality control material to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures for specific biochemical analytes in human serum. No specific patient population is targeted as this is an in vitro diagnostic control for laboratory use.
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.
