Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What is the primary purpose of the Wako Bilirubin Calibrator in a clinical lab setting?
The Wako Bilirubin Calibrator is designed to provide accurate reference standards for quantitative measurement of total and direct bilirubin levels in serum samples. It ensures reliable calibration of clinical chemistry assays, which is critical for diagnosing and monitoring conditions like jaundice, liver disease, or hemolytic anemia.
Is the Wako Bilirubin Calibrator intended for single-use or repeated use, and what are its sterility specifications?
The Wako Bilirubin Calibrator is explicitly labeled as a non-sterile, single-use reagent. Since it is intended for laboratory use as a calibrator, sterility is not required, but it must be handled in accordance with standard laboratory protocols to maintain reagent stability and accuracy.
How should the Wako Bilirubin Calibrator be stored, and are there any special handling instructions?
Storage follows standard laboratory practices for reagent stability, though specific conditions (e.g., temperature, light exposure) are not detailed in the provided data. Since it is non-sterile and single-use, it should be stored in a clean, dry environment away from contaminants until use, adhering to manufacturer guidelines for optimal performance.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance of this device, and which advisory committee reviewed it?
The Wako Bilirubin Calibrator received 510(k) clearance (K993219) under the Traditional 510(k) pathway, demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device. The review was conducted by the Clinical Chemistry (CH) Advisory Committee, and it is classified as a Class II medical device under 21 CFR 862.1150 (Primary Calibrator).
