Intended Use
For in Vitro Diagnostic Use: QCS HER2 ImmunoControls, are intended for laboratory use to control semi-quantitative immunohistochemistry using different Her2/neu antibodies. This control ensures that performance of immunohistochemical staining is consistent in one laboratory over time and also aids in correlation with the results of other laboratories.
Device Story
QCS HER2 ImmunoControls are quality control slides for semi-quantitative immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays. Each slide contains four formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) human breast cancer cell line sections representing distinct HER2/neu protein expression levels (-, 1+, 2+, 3+). Used in clinical laboratories by pathologists or laboratory technicians to monitor IHC staining consistency over time and facilitate inter-laboratory result correlation. The device serves as a reference standard; the user compares the staining intensity of the control sections against the patient sample staining. Consistent control performance ensures assay validity, aiding clinicians in accurately determining HER2 overexpression status in breast cancer patients, which informs therapeutic decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. The manufacturer performed immunohistochemical staining studies comparing the subject device to the predicate DAKO HercepTest control slides using various antibodies (CB11, HercepTest). Results demonstrated that the subject device cell lines (MDA-361, MDA-453, MDA-175, MCF-7) exhibit expected staining intensities (3+, 2+, 1+, -) consistent with the predicate. Antigen stability testing confirmed the controls are stable for at least 6 months.
Technological Characteristics
Form factor: Positively charged glass slides containing four FFPE human breast cancer cell line sections. Principle: Immunohistochemical staining control. Materials: Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human breast cancer cell lines. Connectivity: None (standalone). Sterilization: Not applicable.
Indications for Use
Indicated for laboratory use as a control for semi-quantitative immunohistochemistry assays using HER2/neu antibodies. The device consists of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded breast cancer cell line sections representing four levels of HER2/neu protein expression (-, 1+, 2+, 3+).
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Immunohistochemistry test systems (IHC's) are in vitro diagnostic devices consisting of polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies labeled with directions for use and performance claims, which may be packaged with ancillary reagents in kits. Their intended use is to identify, by immunological techniques, antigens in tissues or cytologic specimens. Similar devices intended for use with flow cytometry devices are not considered IHC's.
Special Controls
(2) Class II (special control, guidance document: “FDA Guidance for Submission of Immunohistochemistry Applications to the FDA,” Center for Devices and Radiologic Health, 1998). These IHC's are intended for the detection and/or measurement of certain target analytes in order to provide prognostic or predictive data that are not directly confirmed by routine histopathologic internal and external control specimens. These IHC's provide the pathologist with information that is ordinarily reported as independent diagnostic information to the ordering clinician, and the claims associated with these data are widely accepted and supported by valid scientific evidence. Examples of class II IHC's are those intended for semiquantitative measurement of an analyte, such as hormone receptors in breast cancer.

## Statement of substantial Equivalence:
Fach OCS HER2 control slide contains four control sections prepared from breast cancer cell lines that represent different levels of Her-2/neu protein expression (-, 1+, 2+, 3+). These cells are formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded, the slide is positively charged.
OCS HER2 controls are comparable in use and technology to DAKO HER2 control slides in HercepTest Kit, which is currently in commercial distribution. Similarities between the QCS HER2 controls and the DAKO HER2 controls include: 1) both products are prepared from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human breast cancer cell lines; 2) both products can be stained by HER2 polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies using the same protocol; 3) both products can be used as controls for semiquantitative immunohistochemistry; and 4) the scoring method of staining intensity is the same. The differences between the two products include: 1) Each QCS HER2 control slide contains 4 sections (-, 1+, 2+, 3+), while DAKO HER2 control slide contains 3 sections (-, 1+, 3+); 2) the cell lines in QCS controls (MDA-361, MDA-453 and MCF-7) are different from DAKO controls. Multiple studies demonstrate the following expected results as presented in Table 1.
| Antibodies | QCS HER2 Controls | | | | DAKO HER2 Controls | | |
|-------------------------|-------------------|---------|---------|-------|--------------------|---------------|--------------|
| | MDA-361 | MDA-453 | MDA-175 | MCF-7 | SK-BR-3 (3+)* | MDA-175 (1+)* | MDA23 1 (0)* |
| CB11<br>(Cell Marque)** | 3+ | 2+ | 1+ | - | 3+ | 1+ | - |
| HercepTest<br>(DAKO) | 3+ | 2+ | 1+ | - | 3+ | 1+ | - |
