This product was designed to meet the needs of users to assure accurate results over the assay range of this method. ## Device Story Total Prostate Specific Antigen (TPSA) Calibrator is a five-level, liquid, in vitro diagnostic product used to calibrate the Total PSA method on the Dimension® clinical chemistry system. It provides reference points for assay measurement. Level 1 consists of a horse serum base; levels 2, 4, 5, and 6 contain human prostate-specific antigen in a bovine serum albumin base. The device is used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel to ensure accurate patient test results. It replaces frozen calibrators with a liquid formulation stored at 2°C to 8°C. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Five-level liquid calibrator. Analyte: human prostate-specific antigen. Matrix: horse serum (Level 1) and bovine serum albumin (Levels 2, 4, 5, 6). Concentrations: 0.0, 4.0, 20.0, 50.0, and 108.0 ng/mL. Storage: 2°C to 8°C. Designed for use with Dimension® clinical chemistry system heterogeneous immunoassay module. ## Regulatory Identification A calibrator is a device intended for medical purposes for use in a test system to establish points of reference that are used in the determination of values in the measurement of substances in human specimens. (See also § 862.2 in this part.) ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9. ## Predicate Devices - PSA Calibrator for Dimension® clinical chemistry system ([K973100](/device/K973100.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

(K973100) | Device Description'. The Total PSA Calibrator is a five-level product. Levels 1,2,4,5, and 6 contain 0.0, 4.0, 20.0, 50.0, and 108.0 ng/mL PSA, respectively. Level 1 is a horse serum base with no detectable PSA. Levels 2,4,5 and 6 contain a human prostate specific antigen (free PSA) in a bovine serum albumin base. Bottle values are assigned according to the process outlined in Appendix B. Level 3 is reserved for use with future methods and will not be included in the packaging at this time. Intended Use: The TPSA Calibrator is an in vitro diagnostic product intended to be used to calibrate the Total Prostate Specific Antigen method for the Dimension® clinical chemistry system with the heterogeneous immunoassay module. This product was designed to meet the needs of users to assure accurate results over the assay range of this method. ## Comparison to Predicate Device: | | PSA Calibrator for Dimension® | Total Prostate Specific Antigen Calibrator for Dimension® | |-------------------------|--------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------| | Intended Use | Calibrator | Calibrator | | Analyte | Human PSA | Human PSA | | Matrix | Level 1 Horse Serum
