PS-000597-E Multi-Chemistry Controls
Instruction Manual
PS-000597 E Rev. 13 02/19
For professional use with CardioChek® PA and CardioChek® Plus professional
analyzers
INTENDED USE
For use with PTS Panels® professional test strips as quality control materials to estimate precision and to detect systematic analytical deviations of your test system.
SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION
PTS Panels professional multi-chemistry controls contain cholesterol,
triglycerides, and glucose, which react with test strips to produce color or
an electrical current depending on the test strips used. The result for each
level of control should be in the range specified on the quality control range
card included with these materials. Controls should be run to verify the test
system performance, when results are questionable, to comply with your
facility’s quality control requirements, or as required by local accrediting
and regulatory bodies.
Note: HDL cholesterol results are reported when using multi-chemistry
controls (Lot MC24 and up) on CardioChek® Plus v. 1.09 analyzers and above.
HDL cholesterol controls are required for all other CardioChek professional
analyzers.
CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
PTS Panels’ multi-chemistry controls contain:|
---|---
Glucose (from corn)| ≥ 60 mg/dL
Glycerol (synthetic)| ≥ 12.35 mg/dL

DL-β hydroxybutyric acid (synthetic)| ≥ 11 mg/dL
Preservatives (isothiozolones) Inert ingredients| ≤ 0.01%
Note that levels are variable

Multi-Chemistry Controls Test Procedure
- Press one of the two buttons to turn the instrument ON.
- Press the Next button until the display reads UTILITY.
- Press the Enter button.
- Press the Next button until RUN CONTROL is displayed
- Insert MEMo Chip that matches a lot of strips.
- At the RUN CONTROL analyzer display option, press Enter.
- Insert the test strip into the analyzer.
- Wait until the analyzer displays APPLY SAMPLE.
- Invert to mix control.
- Remove the cap and turn the bottle upside down straight above the reflectance test strip sample application window or to the tip of the electrochemical test strip.
- Carefully squeeze the vial to deliver the control solution on the test strip. Use one drop of control solution for single-analyte test strips and two drops for multi-analyte test strips and one drop of control solution to the tip of the electrochemical test strip.
- Replace the control vial cap
- Results will be displayed on the screen.

EXPECTED RESULTS
Results for the control should be in the range specified on the quality
control range card. The most up-to-date control results are available on the
PTS Diagnostics website:
www.ptsdiagnostics.com. If test results are
above or below the range specified, check to see if the test strips or
controls are expired. If they are expired, test again with unexpired strips
and controls. Clean the analyzer before retesting (see user guide).
