SAN MARCOS, Calif. — February 28, 2007 — CLINIQA® LiniCAL Bilirubin for Beckman Coulter Synchron Systems is intended for use in the clinical laboratory to objectively verify calibration and assess linearity of the Beckman Coulter Synchron System. Five targeted assayed materials for Total Bilirubin and Direct Bilirubin are provided to allow monitoring the manufacturer's reportable ranges for these constituents. All clinical chemistry laboratories are required to objectively verify calibration and assess linearity on the instruments run in their particular laboratory:

›	at least once every 6 months
›	when there is major preventative maintenance on an instrument or replacement of critical parts
›	when control materials reflect an unusual trend or shift, or are outside the laboratory's acceptable limits
›	if the laboratory has determined that the test system's reportable range for patient test results should be verified more often

CLINIQA LiniCAL Bilirubin for Beckman Coulter Synchron Systems is stable for 2 years from date of manufacture when stored unopened at 2-8° C. Once opened, it is stable for 5 days when stored at 2-8° C. LiniCAL products support CLIA and state regulatory requirements when used as part of the clinical laboratory's comprehensive quality control program.
