Overview
AI-generated summary, 18 Sep 2026
The Access Estradiol Calibrators, Model 33545, are secondary calibrators designed for immunoassay systems. They provide reference standards to establish the quantitative relationship between measured estradiol concentrations and assay signals on the Access Immunoassay Systems, ensuring accurate assay performance.
These calibrators are intended for use in clinical chemistry laboratories with the Access 2, UniCel DxI 600/800, or DxI 9000 systems. Supplied as single-use reagents, they require adherence to manufacturer instructions for frequency and application as outlined in the assay package insert. Authorized under FDA 510(k) and IVDR compliance, they are classified as Class II medical devices under regulation number 862.1150.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
What immunoassay systems are these calibrators designed to work with, and why is compatibility important?
The Access Estradiol Calibrators (Model 33545) are specifically designed for use with Beckman Coulter’s Access Immunoassay Systems, including the Access 2, UniCel DxI 600/800, and DxI 9000. Compatibility is critical because these calibrators establish the quantitative relationship between estradiol concentrations and assay signals *only* for these systems. Using them with other systems could compromise accuracy and reliability of estradiol measurements, potentially leading to incorrect clinical interpretations.
Are these calibrators single-use, and if so, what does that mean for laboratory workflow?
Yes, these calibrators are single-use reagents. This means each vial is intended for one calibration run, after which it should be discarded. Laboratories must plan their workflow accordingly—ordering sufficient quantities to avoid interruptions, storing them properly to maintain stability, and following the manufacturer’s instructions for frequency of use as outlined in the assay package insert to ensure consistent assay performance.
What regulatory pathways have these calibrators undergone, and what does that imply for their use in clinical settings?
The Access Estradiol Calibrators (Model 33545) are authorized under both the FDA’s 510(k) pathway and the In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) in the EU. This implies they have undergone rigorous review to demonstrate safety, performance, and equivalence to prior generations of calibrators for estradiol assays. Clinicians and laboratories can rely on their compliance with these frameworks, though local regulatory requirements (e.g., FDA clearance or CE marking) should always be verified before use.
How should these calibrators be stored, and why is proper storage important for their functionality?
While the exact storage conditions aren’t detailed in the provided data, calibrators like these typically require refrigeration (e.g., 2–8°C) to preserve stability and accuracy. Proper storage is critical because estradiol calibrators are sensitive to temperature fluctuations, light exposure, or freeze-thaw cycles, which can degrade their reference standards. Adhering to manufacturer guidelines ensures the calibrators remain effective for their intended single-use application, preventing inaccurate assay results.
