Intended Use
The PSA Calibrator is an in vitro diagnostic product intended to be used to calibrate the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) method for the Dimension® RxL clinical chemistry system with the heterogeneous immunoassy module. This product was designed to meet the needs of users to assure accurate results over the assay range of this method.
Device Story
PSA Calibrator is a frozen, multi-level in vitro diagnostic product used to calibrate PSA assays on the Dimension® RxL clinical chemistry system. Level 1 consists of horse serum; Levels 2-5 contain human PSA-ACT in a bovine serum albumin base. The kit includes ten 1 mL vials. It is used in clinical laboratory settings by trained technicians to establish a calibration curve for the chemistry system. By ensuring accurate measurement of PSA-ACT levels across the assay range, the device supports the clinical utility of the PSA test, which is used by physicians to monitor prostate health. The calibrator does not perform analysis itself but provides the reference points necessary for the instrument to translate raw signals into clinically actionable PSA concentration values.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Frozen, multi-level calibrator kit. Level 1: horse serum; Levels 2-5: human PSA-ACT in bovine serum albumin base. 5 levels total. Designed for use with the Dimension® RxL clinical chemistry system heterogeneous immunoassay module.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an in vitro diagnostic calibrator for the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) method on the Dimension® RxL clinical chemistry system. No specific patient population, age, or gender restrictions are defined for the calibrator itself.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A calibrator is a device intended for medical purposes for use in a test system to establish points of reference that are used in the determination of values in the measurement of substances in human specimens. (See also § 862.2 in this part.)
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9.

| Classification Name: | Calibrator, Secondary |
| Predicate Device: | aca® plus Prostate Specific Antigen Calibrator |
Device Description: Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Calibrator for the Dimension® RxL clinical chemistry system with the heterogeneous immunoassay module is a frozen product. The Level 1 calibrator is horse serum based with no detectable PSA. Levels 2 through 5 contain human PSA-ACT in a bovine serum albumin base. The kit consists of ten vials; two at each of five levels, containing 1 mL each.
Intended Use: PSA Calibrator is intended to be used to calibrate the PSA method for the Dimension® RxL clinical chemistry system with the heterogeneous immunoassay module.
## Comparison to Predicate Device:
