Lyphochek Allergen sIgE Control 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.
Device Story
Lyphochek Allergen sIgE Control is a human serum-based, lyophilized quality control material; contains added chemicals, stabilizers, and preservatives. Used in clinical laboratories to monitor precision of allergen-specific IgE testing procedures. Device is reconstituted and processed alongside patient samples using manufacturer-supported reagents and instrumentation. Laboratory personnel compare observed results against provided mean values and ±3SD ranges to verify assay performance; helps ensure accuracy and reliability of clinical testing. Benefits include standardized quality monitoring for allergen testing, reducing risk of erroneous clinical results.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing, including real-time and accelerated stability studies to establish shelf life (37 months at 2-8°C) and open-vial stability (28 days at 2-8°C). Value assignment was performed via replicate analyses using manufacturer-supported reagents.
Technological Characteristics
Lyophilized human serum-based control material. Two levels: Negative and Panel A. Reconstituted for use. Storage at 2-8°C. Compatible with Siemens IMMULITE 2000/2000 XPi, Phadia ImmunoCAP Series, and Hycor HYTEC 288 analyzers.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an assayed quality control serum to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures for specific allergen IgE analytes. No specific patient population, age, or gender is targeted as this is an in vitro diagnostic control material.
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.

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 product. The sponsor recommends that each laboratory establish its own acceptable ranges and the values provided be used only as guides.
**Stability:** The sponsor’s unopened, lyophilized shelf-life and reconstituted open-vial stability protocols and acceptance criteria were reviewed and found to be acceptable.
**Shelf-life stability studies:** Accelerated stability studies: control materials were stored at three different elevated temperatures then periodically reconstituted and tested against vials stored under normal conditions (2-8°C). Accelerated stability study model and data supports shelf life claim of 37 months at 2-8°C storage. Real time testing is ongoing.
Open-vial stability studies: the reconstituted controls were tested at periodic intervals at day 0, 3, 28 and 35. The results support the claim of 28 days open vial stability when stored at 2-8°C.
