## Indications for Use

The Streck Cell-Chex Auto control is an assayed whole blood control for evaluating the accuracy and precision of hematology instruments that measure blood cell counts in patient body fluid samples.

## Device Story

Cell-Chex Auto is an assayed, tri-level quality control material; consists of stabilized human red blood cells and simulated white blood cells in a solution with biological salts and anti-microbial preservatives. Packaged in 4 ml plastic vials; available in three concentration levels (Level 1: very low; Level 2: low; Level 3: high). Used in clinical laboratories to evaluate accuracy and precision of hematology instruments analyzing patient body fluid samples. Healthcare providers use the control to verify instrument performance; results falling within established assay ranges confirm system reliability for patient sample testing.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Studies included closed vial stability, open vial stability, run-to-run reproducibility, and site-to-site recovery of values. Results demonstrated consistent reproducibility and stability for the claimed shelf life, confirming substantial equivalence to the predicate.

## Technological Characteristics

Stabilized suspension of human red blood cells and simulated white blood cells in biological salts and anti-microbial preservatives. Packaged in 4ml plastic vials with polypropylene screw caps and polyethylene liners. Three concentration levels. Storage: 2-10°C. Stability: 75 days closed vial, 30 days open vial.

## Regulatory Identification

A hematology quality control mixture is a device used to ascertain the accuracy and precision of manual, semiautomated, and automated determinations of cell parameters such as white cell count (WBC), red cell count (RBC), platelet count (PLT), hemoglobin, hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC).

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). Except when intended for use in blood components, the device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 864.9.

## Predicate Devices

- iQ® Body Fluids Control ([K051706](/device/K051706.md))

K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable):

L. Test Principle:

M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):

1. Analytical performance:

a. Precision/Reproducibility:

Reproducibility studies were performed on 2 lots of each level of Streck Cell-Chex Auto Control. 10 consecutive analysis was performed on a single vial of each level. Levels 1, 2, and 3 were tested on 4 different instruments. Levels 2 and 3 were tested on 5 different instruments. Mean, SD and %CV was calculated and found to be acceptable.

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:

c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):

Testing was set up to verify the 30 day open vial dating and 75 day expiration dating. For open vial stability testing, 1 vial of each level, from 2 lots was analyzed on 5 instruments (4 for Level 1), at least twice a week. On days that analysis did not occur, the vials were warmed to room temperature, inverted to mix, and then returned to refrigerated storage. Both lots performed as expected with parameter recovery within the established assay ranges.

The 75 day expiration dating testing was set up similarly, with analysis performed on each vial at least to times per week from the ship date to the expiration date. Between analysis, each vial was returned to refrigerated storage. No significant trends occurred and there was consistent recovery of values within the indicated assay range.

d. Detection limit:

e. Analytical specificity:

f. Assay cut-off:

2. Comparison studies:

a. Method comparison with predicate device:

b. Matrix comparison:

3. Clinical studies:

a. Clinical Sensitivity:

b. Clinical specificity:

c. Other clinical supportive data (when a. and b. are not applicable):

Product samples were provided to 5 off-site laboratories. Results demonstrated all three levels performed within the assay ranges.

4. Clinical cut-off:

5. Expected values/Reference range:

N. Proposed Labeling:

The labeling is sufficient and it satisfies the requirements of 21 CFR Part 809.10.

O. Conclusion:

The submitted information in this premarket notification is complete and supports a substantial equivalence decision, based on a Tier 1 review.
