This in-vitro diagnostic device is for prescription QUALITY CONTROL AND CALIBRATION use only. Good laboratory practice suggests the use of control specimens to ensure assay The semi-quantitative mode is for purposes of enabling laboratories to determine an performance. Control results must fall within established ranges determined by your appropriate dilution of the specimen for confirmation by a confirmatory method such as laboratory. QC materials should be used in accordance with local, state and/or federal Gas Chromatography/ Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) or permitting laboratories to establish regulations or accreditation requirements. quality control procedures. For a qualitative analysis use either the 500ng/mL or 1000ng/mL calibrator as a cutoff The Immunalysis Methamphetamine Urine Enzyme Immunoassay Kit provides only level to distinguish “positive” and “negative” specimens.
