Overview
The Sodium and Potassium Standard is a multi-analyte mixture calibrator used in clinical chemistry for the quantitative measurement of sodium and potassium levels. It serves as a reference material to ensure accuracy and consistency in in vitro diagnostic testing, particularly in automated clinical chemistry analyzers. By providing a standardized concentration of electrolytes, it aids in the calibration and validation of analytical systems, reducing variability in test results.
This device is supplied as a liquid calibrator for use in clinical laboratory settings. It is intended for single-use applications and does not require sterilization. The product is classified under FDA regulation 862.1150 and holds a 510(k) clearance (K895717) as a substantially equivalent device to predecessors. No MRI safety or reusable components are specified, and storage conditions are not detailed in the regulatory submission.

Questions
What is the Sodium and Potassium Standard used for in a clinical lab setting?
The Sodium and Potassium Standard is a multi-analyte mixture calibrator designed to ensure accurate and consistent measurement of sodium and potassium levels in clinical chemistry testing. It serves as a reference material for calibrating and validating automated analyzers, helping to minimize variability in test results and maintain precision in electrolyte testing.
Is this device intended for single-use or repeated use?
This device is explicitly intended for single-use applications. It is supplied as a liquid calibrator and does not require sterilization, making it suitable for one-time use in clinical laboratory settings to maintain accuracy and avoid cross-contamination.
How is the Sodium and Potassium Standard regulated by the FDA?
The Sodium and Potassium Standard holds a 510(k) clearance (K895717) from the FDA, classified under regulation 862.1150. It was determined to be substantially equivalent to predecessor devices and was reviewed by the Clinical Chemistry (CH) Advisory Committee. The clearance was granted in 1990 following a traditional review process.
What types of analyzers is this calibrator compatible with?
While the exact compatibility details are not specified in the regulatory data, this calibrator is designed for use in automated clinical chemistry analyzers that measure sodium and potassium levels. It is intended to standardize and validate these systems, ensuring reliable performance across a range of laboratory equipment used for electrolyte testing.
