Liquichek Anti-SS-A Control, EIA is intended for use as an unassayed quality control to monitor enzyme immunoassay procedures for the detection of SS-A autoantibodies.
Device Story
Liquichek Anti-SS-A Control, EIA is an in vitro diagnostic quality control product; prepared from human serum with added preservatives (0.1% sodium azide) and stabilizers. Provided in liquid form for laboratory use. Device serves as a control to monitor performance of enzyme immunoassay (EIA) procedures for detecting SS-A autoantibodies. Laboratory personnel use the control alongside patient samples to verify assay accuracy and precision. Output is a qualitative or semi-quantitative check of assay performance; helps clinicians ensure reliability of patient test results for systemic rheumatic disease diagnosis.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Liquid human serum matrix; contains 0.1% sodium azide preservative. Storage at 2-8°C. Open vial stability claim of 30 days at 2-8°C. Non-automated, manual quality control reagent.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an unassayed quality control to monitor enzyme immunoassay procedures for the detection of SS-A autoantibodies in clinical laboratory settings.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An antinuclear antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoimmune antibodies in serum, other body fluids, and tissues that react with cellular nuclear constituents (molecules present in the nucleus of a cell, such as ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, or nuclear proteins). The measurements aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (a multisystem autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the victim's own tissues), hepatitis (a liver disease), rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome (arthritis with inflammation of the eye, eyelid, and salivary glands), and systemic sclerosis (chronic hardening and shrinking of many body tissues).
