Indications for Use
Liguichek Tumor Marker 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
Liquichek Tumor Marker Control is a trilevel liquid quality control serum derived from human source material with added animal-derived constituents, stabilizers, and preservatives. It is used in clinical laboratories to monitor the precision of testing procedures for various tumor marker analytes. The control is provided in a liquid form and is designed for use with specific instrumentation, such as the Siemens Dimension Vista Systems. Laboratory personnel use the control by running it alongside patient samples; the resulting values are compared against the provided mean values and ±3SD ranges to verify the performance and precision of the testing system. By identifying potential variations caused by reagents, instrumentation, or technique, the device helps ensure the reliability of clinical test results, thereby supporting accurate clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Stability studies (real-time and accelerated) were conducted to establish thawed opened, thawed unopened, and shelf-life stability claims. Acceptance criteria were met for all stability parameters.
Technological Characteristics
Trilevel liquid control; human source material with animal-derived constituents, stabilizers, and preservatives. Formulated for specific use with Siemens Dimension Vista Systems. Storage requirements: -20 to -50 °C (unopened). Stability: 10 days thawed/opened, 15 days thawed/unopened at 2-8 °C. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an assayed quality control serum to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures for specific tumor marker analytes (AFP, B2-M, CA 15-3, CA 19-9, CA 125, CEA, Ferritin, hCG, Prolactin, Total PSA, Free PSA) in clinical laboratory settings.
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.
