Device Story
Biophen Heparin/UFH Control Plasmas and Calibrators are in vitro diagnostic reagents used in clinical laboratories. Controls assess precision and accuracy of anti-Xa colorimetric assays (e.g., Biophen Heparin 3 & 6); calibrators establish the calibration curve for these assays. The device consists of plasma samples with known heparin concentrations. Laboratory technicians use these to validate assay performance before patient sample testing. By ensuring accurate measurement of heparin levels, the device assists clinicians in monitoring anticoagulant therapy, thereby optimizing therapeutic dosing and minimizing bleeding or clotting risks.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Precision/reproducibility studies demonstrated intra-assay %CV ranging from 0.5% to 2.3% across all control and calibrator levels. Traceability established via NIBSC International Standards for LMWH (85/600) and UFH (97/578).
Technological Characteristics
In vitro diagnostic plasma-based controls and calibrators. Principle of operation: chromogenic anti-Xa assay calibration and quality control. Form factor: liquid/lyophilized plasma. Connectivity: none (standalone reagents).
Indications for Use
Indicated for quality control and calibration of anti-Xa colorimetric assays used to measure Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH) and Unfractionated Heparin (UFH) in human plasma samples.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A multipurpose system for in vitro coagulation studies is a device consisting of one automated or semiautomated instrument and its associated reagents and controls. The system is used to perform a series of coagulation studies and coagulation factor assays.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A control intended for use with a multipurpose system for in vitro coagulation studies is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 864.9.
