Indications for Use
For In Vitro Diagnostic use only. Multichem IA Plus is intended for use as a quality control serum to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures for the analytes listed in the package insert.
Device Story
Multichem IA Plus is a liquid, frozen quality control serum used in clinical laboratories to monitor the precision of diagnostic testing procedures. It is prepared from human serum supplemented with purified biochemical materials (human/animal origin), chemicals, drugs, stabilizers, and preservatives. The device is provided in three levels to allow performance monitoring across the clinical range. Laboratory technicians use the control by running it alongside patient samples; the resulting values are compared against expected ranges to verify the accuracy and precision of the testing system. This objective assessment helps ensure the reliability of clinical diagnostic results, ultimately supporting accurate patient diagnosis and treatment monitoring. Each donor unit is screened for HIV, HCV, and HBsAg.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Stability testing (shelf-life and open-vial) performed per CLSI EP25-A. Value assignment conducted using 15 replicates per analyte across multiple runs to establish target means and 3SD ranges.
Technological Characteristics
Quality control material composed of processed human serum with added biochemicals, drugs, stabilizers, and preservatives. Provided in liquid, frozen form. Shelf life: 36 months at -20°C to -80°C. Open-vial stability varies by analyte (1 hour to 10 days at 2-8°C). No electronic components, software, or energy sources.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as a quality control serum to monitor the precision of laboratory testing procedures for specific analytes in clinical settings. Prescription use only.
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.

# Value Assignment -
The value assignment for all analytes was performed on analyte specific assay/analyzer systems using the proposed new value assignment protocol. Fifteen replicates of each analyte were tested over a minimum of three runs with a minimum of three replicates per run using and run over multiple days. The mean from the 15 data points was used as the target concentration. The assignment of value assignment ranges was established based on the 3SD value for each level of the analyte control. The target mean and range for each analyte level along with their respective acceptance criteria were provided for review and found acceptable. Representative values for target mean and range for each analyte for a lot are provided in tabular form in the value assignment sheets.
