These controls are intended to be used in connection with the device Pefakit® APC-R Factor V Leiden for the confirmation of factor V Leiden mutation (FV: Q506) in assays for determination of the functional phenotype for activated protein C resistance.
Device Story
Pefakit® APC-R Factor V Leiden Controls are lyophilized pooled human plasma samples used for quality control in activated protein C resistance assays. The kit includes two types of controls: C1 (normal wild-type) and C2 (heterozygous for factor V Leiden mutation). Genotype status is confirmed via PCR. The user reconstitutes the lyophilized plasma with water. These controls are used in clinical laboratory settings to verify the performance of the Pefakit® APC-R Factor V Leiden assay. By measuring clotting times (+APC and -APC) and calculating ratios, the healthcare provider ensures the assay is functioning correctly, thereby supporting accurate identification of the factor V Leiden mutation in patients.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data generated specifically for the controls; however, the controls were utilized in clinical studies comparing the Pefakit® APC-R Factor V Leiden test to the predicate device at two central hospitals (CIMCLD/AKH, Vienna and Duke University Medical Center, USA). These studies confirmed the suitability of the control plasmas for their intended use in quality control and reagent validation.
Technological Characteristics
Lyophilized pooled human plasma; screened for HIV1&2, HCV, HBV, and HTLV I&II. Reconstituted with water. Stability: 8 hours on-board; 6 months at -20°C; 2 years at 2-8°C. Qualitative control for Factor V Leiden genotype testing.
Indications for Use
Indicated for quality assurance of the Pefakit® APC-R Factor V Leiden IVD device. Contains lyophilized pooled human plasmas from donors genotyped as either normal wild-type or heterozygous for the factor V Leiden (FV: Q506) mutation.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A multipurpose system for in vitro coagulation studies is a device consisting of one automated or semiautomated instrument and its associated reagents and controls. The system is used to perform a series of coagulation studies and coagulation factor assays.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A control intended for use with a multipurpose system for in vitro coagulation studies is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 864.9.

Stability:
The Pefakit® APC-R Factor V Leiden reagents (described in a separate 510(k) submission, were used for testing stability of the control plasmas of Pefakit® APC-R Factor V Leiden Controls. Clotting times and ratios for stability verification were determined using an Amelung KC-10 A™ micro equipment.
In stress tests the lyophilized controls C1 and C2 were exposed to 37° C for several days. Samples of the controls were reconstituted on day 0-4, on day 7, day 9, day 11 and day 14. The +APC and -APC clotting times were measured using freshly reconstituted reagent from an unstressed released test kit (Pefakit® APC-R Factor V Leiden). The clotting times were slightly rising over this time period but the ratio remained stable during at least 8 days of exposure. It was concluded that the controls are stable for at least 1 year. This has been confirmed by the real-time long-term stability studies.
After reconstitution, the open controls were tests for on-board reagent stability (15° - 25° C) using freshly prepared reagents of Pefakit® APC-R Factor V Leiden. The controls were tested at 1 hour intervals over a period of 8 hours. During this time period, the clotting times of the +APC measurement especially for the normal wild-type control (C1) were slightly rising, but still within predefined acceptable range.
Reconstituted sample of reagents and control were frozen and stored at -20° C. After 6 months, the reagent and controls were thawed and clotting times and ratios for C1 and C2 were determined. Clotting times and ratios measured were within the predefined acceptable ranges. No shift was observed. It was concluded that the controls are stable when frozen at -20° C for at least 6 months.
