General Precautions
1. This control is for professional in-vitro diagnostic use only. 2. Follow proper laboratory handling precautions. 3. All human material should be considered as potentially infectious. This product has been prepared exclusively from blood proceeding from donors which has been analysed individually in accordance with the FDA-approved method.

2. Close the vial carefully and dissolve the contents within 30 minutes by turning the vial upside down, making sure that no foam is produced. Important: The determination of enzyme activity may be carried out immediately in the case of all enzymes except for alkaline phosphatase. To reactivate alkaline phosphatase, incubate the reconstituted control serum for one hour at 25 C. 3. Use a pipette to transfer the required volume into a sample cup and place it on the appropriate rack of the ABX Pentra 400 or Mira. 4. Once reconstituted, treat the control as a patient specimen. An analysis of the control serum must be carried out on a daily basis at the same time as the patient samples, including each time a calibration is carried out. The frequency of the controls depends on the laboratory requirements. Each laboratory must establish the quality assurance procedures to be followed. These must conform to the current accreditation requirements.

Materials required but not provided

1. This control is for professional in-vitro diagnostic use only. 2. Observe the standard laboratory precautions for use. For France: please refer to the Good Analytical Practice Handbook (Guide de Bonne Excution des Analyses). 3. Although the controls have been prepared from blood derived from donors negative for HBs antigen, HIV1/2 antibody and HCV antibody, and because no test method can completely assure the absence of HIV1/2, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, or other infectious agents, the controls should be treated like patient specimens as potentially infectious and handled with appropriate caution. In case of exposure, follow the guidelines of the competent health authorities (1,2). 4. The control vials should be discarded after use. 5. Please refer to the MSDS associated with the control.
