Liquichek Cardiac Markers Plus Control LT 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. For prescription use only.
Device Story
Liquichek Cardiac Markers Plus Control LT is an assayed quality control serum used in clinical laboratories to monitor the precision of testing procedures for cardiac markers. The device is prepared from human serum with added constituents of human and animal origin, stabilizers, and preservatives. It is provided in liquid form in various configurations. The control is used by laboratory personnel to verify the performance of diagnostic assays. By comparing observed results against the provided mean values and ranges, clinicians can assess the reliability of their testing procedures, ensuring accurate diagnostic information for patient management.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Stability studies (real-time and accelerated) were performed to establish shelf life and open-vial stability for the added analytes. Value assignment was derived from replicate analyses using manufacturer-supported reagents.
Technological Characteristics
Liquid human serum-based control containing stabilizers and preservatives. Analytes include BNP, CK-MB, CRP, CK, D-dimer, Digitoxin, Homocysteine, MPO, Myoglobin, NT-proBNP, Troponin I, and Troponin T. Storage requirements: -20°C to -70°C for shelf life; 2°C to 8°C for open-vial use. No electronic or software components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an assayed quality control serum to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures for cardiac markers including BNP, CK-MB, CRP, CK, D-dimer, Digitoxin, Homocysteine, MPO, Myoglobin, NT-proBNP, Troponin I, and Troponin T.
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.

Value Assignment:
The mean values and the corresponding $\pm 3\mathrm{SD}$ ranges printed in the package inserts were derived from replicate analyses and are specific for each lot of product. The tests listed were performed by the manufacturer and/or independent laboratories using manufacturer supported reagents and a representative sampling of this lot of control. It is recommended that each laboratory establish its own means and acceptable ranges and use those provided only as guides.
Stability Studies:
Real time stability studies were performed to establish thawed and opened stability claims. Thawed and open vial stability when stored at $2^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ to $8^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ is as follows: N-terminal pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) is 15 days, Troponin 1 is 10 days, B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) is 8 days, Troponin T is 4 days and all other analytes are 20 days. Frozen aliquot stability is 30 days at when stored at $-20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ to
