VITROS Chemistry Products FS Calibrator 1, REF 680 1873 12 x 3 mL, Rx ONLY, IVD; used in conjunction with VITROS Chemistry Products Calibrator Kits to calibrate VITROS 5,1 FS/4600 Chemistry and integrated Systems. --- Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc. Rochester, NY 14626 --- Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics Pencoed, CF35 5PZ, UK ---- Background: VITROS assays must be calibrated prior to use in order to be used to produce assay results. The Assay Data Disk (ADD) contains calibrator assigned values/ calculation data for multiple VITROS Calibrators and Lots. The Data Release Version (DRV) number identifies the version of the ADD. Each time the ADD is updated with new ata, the DRV number increments higher. The DRV with the highest number contains the most current data. The VITROS 4600 and 5,1 FS Chemistry Systems and the VITROS 5600 Integrated System are the only VITROS Systems that run the assays that are associated with VITROS Chemistry Products FS Calibrator 1. VITROS FS Calibrator 1 is required to calibrate VITROS RF, dLDL, hsCRP, AMPH, BARB, BENZ, COCM, CP, ASO, THC, d%A1c assays. VITROS Chemistry Products FS Calibrator 1 is used in conjunction with VITROS Chemistry Products Calibrator Kits to calibrate the VITROS 5,1 FS and 4600 Chemistry Systems and the VITROS 5600 Integrated System. VITROS FS Calibrator 1 is used on VITROS Systems to calibrate the following assays: VITROS AMPH, ASO, BARB, BENZ, COCM, d%A1c, dLDL, hsCRP, PCP, RF and THC Reagents
