Intended Use
Beckman's Vigil Lipid Control is intended for use in monitoring the reliability of automated in vitro diagnostic assays of total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol (HDLc), triglycerides, apolipoprotein A-1 and apolipoprotein B in the clinical laboratory. The use of three or more levels of control allows the laboratorian to monitor change in calibration linearity along with analytical error and imprecision.
Device Story
VIGIL Lipid Controls are human serum-based liquid quality control materials used in clinical laboratories. The device consists of four levels of ready-to-use controls, each containing specific concentrations of cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein A-1, and apolipoprotein B. Laboratory personnel use these controls to monitor the performance of automated diagnostic assays. By analyzing these controls, clinicians can detect systematic analytical deviations, assess imprecision, and verify calibration linearity of the test system. The controls are stored at -15°C to -20°C to maintain stability. The use of multiple levels allows for comprehensive monitoring of assay reliability, helping ensure accurate patient test results.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Stress stability studies were conducted at 25°C, 32°C, 37°C, and 41°C for durations ranging from 20 to 45 days to support a 24-month shelf life claim.
Technological Characteristics
Human serum-based liquid control material. Four levels of analyte concentration (cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein A-1, apolipoprotein B). Storage temperature: -15°C to -20°C. Shelf life: 24 months. Class I medical device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in clinical laboratories to monitor the reliability, precision, and calibration linearity of automated in vitro diagnostic assays for total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein A-1, and apolipoprotein B.
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.
