To be clinically valuable, regardless of the measurement procedure used, it is important that different laboratories or a single laboratory The results obtained from a given human sample tested by different in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDMDs) within a laboratory should be equivalent. The uniform application of medical decision limits and reference intervals can reduce the risk of harm caused by medical decisions based on nonequivalent test results. The equivalence of results for the same measurand between different IVDMDs is crucial for analyzing results in medical records to support clinical decision making and conduct flow analysis. Epidemiological investigations are also important. Metrological traceability is established by assigning values to calibrators in a measurement procedure (MP) to the highest available reference system for the measurand. Metrological traceability describes the calibration hierarchy and the order of assignment, showing the An unbroken link between the measurement results of a sample and the highest available reference system part in the calibration hierarchy. The highest level of metrological traceability in the calibration hierarchy) depends on the higher level reference measurement procedure (RMP), reference material, The availability of a standardized quality (RM) or consensus solution. When different IVDMDs intended to measure the same measurand do not measure the same or closely related measurables, Limitations arise when traceability is required. Some measurands of medical interest may be well-defined elements or molecules. Medical decisions rely on measurands composed of complex and varied chemical structures, molecular species, and molecular complexes in different proportions, such as There are multiple subtypes of glycoproteins, variant amino acid sequences, nucleic acid sequences and other complex molecular forms. When expected, sample-specific effects in human samples due to factors such as disease, drugs or other pathological conditions may lead to the expected measured For a given IVDMD, even with metrological traceability to a higher-level reference system, the calibration hierarchy The selectivity of MPs at each level may also affect their ability to obtain equivalent human sample results with other IVD MDs measuring the same measurand. ability. This document establishes requirements for IVDMD manufacturers to describe the calibration hierarchy for measured quantities that are measured using a specified IVDMD. This document includes various calibration hierarchy models that provide potential technical solutions for different types of measurands. Use this document as a reference for the preparation of IVDMDs. Complying with ISO 14971 requirements as part of the manufacturer's extensive risk management program is expected to help reduce variability in outcomes across different IVDMDs. risk of harm to patients. Establish calibration products for in vitro diagnostic medical devices, Trueness control of material and human sample assignment Metrological traceability requirements1 ScopeThis document specifies the establishment of metrological traceability for in vitro diagnostic medical device (IVDMD) calibrators, trueness control materials and human sample assignments. The technical requirements and documentation requirements necessary for human origin. Human samples are samples for intended measurement as specified by each IVDMD. The metrological traceability of the assigned values extends to the highest available reference system component, ideally a reference measurement procedure (RMP) and a certified reference Reference Material (CRM). All parties involved in any step described in the IVDMD Calibration Hierarchy are required to comply with the requirements, including but not limited to (IVDMD) manufacturers, RMP developers (see ISO 15193), reference material (RM) producers (see ISO 15194), and those supporting IVD Reference/calibration laboratory within the MD calibration hierarchy (see ISO 15195). Note 1.RM producers intended for use in IVDMD standardization or calibration include those producing RMs that can be used by multiple IVDMD end users and/or calibration laboratories. The commercial value of an RM that is intended for use by a single end-user medical laboratory (e.g., where the measurement standard (calibrator) is used only for calibration of the laboratory's own MP) business and non-commercial organizations. This document applies to. a) All IVDMDs that provide measurement results in numerical form [i.e. ratio scale and/or difference (interval) scale, and count scale]; b) IVDMDs that report measurement results as a qualitative value that is a combination of two measurements (i.e., the signal from the specimen being measured and the specific concentration or activity at the critical value) or by a counting scale with a corresponding decision threshold. Includes IVDMDs classified into ordinal categories based on predetermined quantitative intervals; c) RMs of trueness control materials intended for use in IVDMD calibration verification or assessment, i.e., some interchangeable CRMs and a some external quality assessment (EQA) substances (if stated in the intended use statement of the RM); d) Intended for use with a designated IVDMD, with assigned values for dedicated calibrators and accuracy control materials; e) IVDMDs described in a) and b) that do not require end-user calibration (i.e., when the IVDMD is factory calibrated by the manufacturer). This document does not apply to. a) IVDMD calibrators and accuracy control materials whose measured value is zero according to the formula; b) Control substances used only for internal quality control in medical laboratories to assess the imprecision (repeatability or reproducibility) of IVDMD ity), and/or for evaluating changes in IVDMD results compared to a previously determined calibration status; c) Control substances used only for internal quality control in medical laboratories, with recommended acceptance intervals that are not metrologically traceable. Source to a higher level reference system; d) Properties reported on nominal and ordinal scales, without reference to the magnitude of the values. Note 2 to entry. Nominal scales are commonly used to report, for example, blood cell types, microbial types, identification of nucleic acid sequences, and identification of urine particles. Note 3.Ordinal scales are often used to distinguish between dichotomous outcomes (e.g., “sick” vs. “healthy”) and occasionally to distinguish between non-dichotomous outcomes, where the outcome Categories are ranked, but ranked categories cannot distinguish relative degrees of difference, such as visually grading the presence of hemoglobin in a urine sample.
