Intended Use
The Linearity LQ Cystatin-C is an assayed quality control material intended to simulate human patient samples for use in determining linearity, calibration, and the verification of reportable range for the Cystatin-C analyte. The Linearity LQ Cystatin-C is for In Vitro Diagnostic use only.
Device Description
The Audit® MicroControls™ Linearity LQ Cystatin-C product is an in-vitro diagnostic device consisting of one set of five levels of liquid, linearity/QC material. For the set there are five levels labeled A, B, C, D and E. The set contains 1ml for each level. The set contains the Cystatin-C analyte and additives in human and bovine based serum. Materials of human origin used in the manufacture of this linearity set have been tested using FDA approved methods and are found to be non-reactive for HbsAg and antibodies to HCV and HIV-1/2.

No
The document describes a quality control material for laboratory testing and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No
This device is an in-vitro diagnostic quality control material used for determining linearity, calibration, and verifying the reportable range for the Cystatin-C analyte. It is not intended to treat or diagnose a disease in a patient.

No

The device is described as an "assayed quality control material" and "linearity/QC material" intended to simulate human patient samples for use in determining linearity, calibration, and verification of reportable ranges for an analyte. It is explicitly for "In Vitro Diagnostic use only" and is a "control material," not a device that directly diagnoses a disease or condition. Control materials are used to ensure the proper functioning and accuracy of diagnostic devices.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "in-vitro diagnostic device consisting of one set of five levels of liquid, linearity/QC material." This describes a physical product, not software.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Explicit Statement: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section clearly states: "The Linearity LQ Cystatin-C is for In Vitro Diagnostic use only."
  • Device Description: The "Device Description" also refers to the product as an "in-vitro diagnostic device".
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to simulate human patient samples for use in determining linearity, calibration, and the verification of reportable range for the Cystatin-C analyte. This is a typical function of an in vitro diagnostic control material used in laboratory testing.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Stability studies have been performed to determine the open vial stability and shelf life for Audit® MicroControls™ Linearity LQ Cystatin-C.

Shelf Life-Accelerated Stability: Accelerated stability studies were conducted to establish the shelf life stability claims. All supporting data is retained on file at Aalto Scientific, Ltd. Acceptance criteria were met to support the product claims as follows: Shelf Life: 3 years, when stored unopened at 2-8º C.

Shelf Life-Real Time Stability: Vials from two lots of finished product are stored at 2-8℃ (real time vials) and -80℃ (Dayl) vials). Samples are taken at two different time points. The analyte values from the real time vials are compared to the Day0 vials (both tested in duplicate). The product is determined to meet its predicted shelf life if the % difference of the real time mean values compared to the Day0 mean value is within the acceptance criteria. All supporting data is retained on file at Aalto Scientific, Ltd. Note: Real time studies are ongoing to support the shelf life of this product.

Open Vial-Accelerated Stability+Real Time Stability: Real time stability studies were conducted at the end of accelerated stability studies to establish the open vial stability claims. All supporting data is retained on file at Aalto Scientific, Ltd. Acceptance criteria were met to support the product claims as follows: Open Vial Stability: Once a vial has been opened, the product will be stable for 30 days when stored tightly capped at 2-8° C.

F. Device Description

The Audit® MicroControls™ Linearity LQ Cystatin-C product is an in-vitro diagnostic device consisting of one set of five levels of liquid, linearity/QC material. For the set there are five levels labeled A, B, C, D and E. The set contains 1ml for each level. The set contains the Cystatin-C analyte and additives in human and bovine based serum. Materials of human origin used in the manufacture of this linearity set have been tested using FDA approved methods and are found to be non-reactive for HbsAg and antibodies to HCV and HIV-1/2.

G. Value Assignment/Linearity

Analyte value assignment for Level A through Level E was performed on Beckman Immage for the Cystatin-C analyte using the corresponding reagent. The Cystatin-C analyte was measured multiple times. The mean value of the Cystatin-C analyte was used to establish target concentration value at each level. All supporting data is retained on file at Aalto Scientific, Ltd.

The product is determined to meet its predicted shelf life if the % difference of the real time mean values compared to the Day0 mean value is within the acceptance criteria. All supporting data is retained on file at Aalto Scientific, Ltd.

Note: Real time studies are ongoing to support the shelf life of this product.

Open Vial-Accelerated Stability+Real Time Stability

Real time stability studies were conducted at the end of accelerated stability studies to establish the open vial stability claims. All supporting data is retained on file at Aalto Scientific, Ltd. Acceptance criteria were met to support the product claims as follows:

Open Vial Stability: Once a vial has been opened, the product will be stable for 30 days when stored tightly capped at 2-8° C.

I. Expected Values

Analyte value assignment was performed for Audit® MicroControls™ Linearity LQ Cystatin-C on Beckman Immage using the corresponding reagents for Cystatin-C. Cystatin-C was measured multiple times and the mean value was used to establish target concentration values at each level. The target ranges were calculated as ± 10% of the target value.
