## Indications for Use

Berichrom Heparin UF Calibrator is an in vitro diagnostic product used for the calibration of the Berichrom Heparin assay for measurement of unfractionated (UF) heparin. Berichrom Heparin UF Control 1 is an assayed, low level, quality control material for assessment of precision and analytical bias in the quantitative determination of unfractionated (UF) heparin with the Berichrom Heparin assay. Berichrom Heparin UF Control 2 is an assayed, high level, quality control material for assessment of precision and analytical bias in the quantitative determination of unfractionated (UF) heparin with the Berichrom Heparin assay.

## Device Story

Lyophilized calibrator and assayed controls for unfractionated (UF) heparin measurement; contains porcine-derived UF heparin and buffered human plasma. Used in clinical laboratory settings to calibrate Berichrom Heparin assays and monitor assay performance via low and high-level controls. Requires reconstitution with distilled or deionized water. Assigned values are traceable to WHO International Standard for unfractionated heparin. Provides quality control for quantitative heparin measurement, assisting clinicians in monitoring anticoagulant therapy.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only. Stability studies performed over 24 months (plus 1 month) at various storage conditions (+2 to +8°C, +15 to +25°C, ≤-18°C) to validate shelf life and reconstituted stability. Acceptance criteria based on deviation from Day 0 or freshly reconstituted values (±0.05 IU/mL for Control 1; ±20% for Calibrator and Control 2).

## Technological Characteristics

Lyophilized product; porcine-derived unfractionated heparin in buffered human plasma. Reconstitution required (1.0 mL distilled/deionized water). Traceable to 5th WHO International Standard for unfractionated heparin. Storage: +2 to +8°C (closed).

## Regulatory 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.
