INTENDED USE
For the quantitative determination of human cystatin C in serum, EDTA plasma, or lithium heparin plasma by immunoturbidimetric assay.  Cystatin C measurements are used as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment of renal diseases.
FOR IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USE.

REAGENT PREPARATION
The reagents are ready to use and do not require reconstitution.

STORAGE AND HANDLING
All reagents should be stored refrigerated (2-8°C).  Return all reagents to 2-8°C promptly after use.  Unopened reagents can be used for one year from the date of manufacture, as indicated by the expiration date on the package and bottle labels.  Opened reagents can be used for one month if stored at 2-8°C.

PERFORMANCE
Precision
The precision for the K-ASSAY ®   Cystatin C assay was determined using packaged reagents, control material, and a Roche / Hitachi 917 analyzer according to the CLSI EP5-A2 guideline.

Accuracy / Correlation
Testing was performed on a Roche / Hitachi 917 analyzer according to the CLSI EP9-A2 guideline.  A comparison of the K-ASSAY ®   Cystatin C and another company's Cystatin C assay was performed with the following results:

Linear Regression: y = 1.0093x - 0.0411
r = 0.9983
n = 50
x = another company's cystatin C assay
y = K-ASSAY ®   Cystatin C assay

x min = 0.41 mg/L y min = 0.40 mg/L
  max = 7.43 mg/L   max = 7.68 mg/L
  mean = 2.650 mg/L   mean = 2.633 mg/L
