CONTROL MATERIAL HER-2/NEU

FDA 510K for Control Material - HER-2/NEU Immunohistochemistry

The HER-2/neu immunohistochemistry system, particularly the Roche HER2 (4B5) clone, is crucial for assessing HER2 status in tumours. This system utilizes FDA-approved in vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests to evaluate HER2 protein expression, which is vital for informing treatment choices for patients, especially in cases of hormone receptor-negative tumours that show HER-2 amplification and overexpression. For instance, the HercepTest is well-known for its high sensitivity in detecting HER2 expression, particularly in tumours with gene amplification.

Intended Use of Control Material HER-2/NEW, Immunohistochemistry

It is intended for laboratory use to control semi-quantitative immunohistochemistry using different Her2/neu antibodies. This control ensures that the performance of immunohistochemical staining is consistent in one laboratory over time and also aids in correlation with the results of other laboratories.

Device Description for Control Material, Her-2/Neu, Immunohistochemistry

This product provides appropriate control for semi-quantitative immunohistochemistry using polyclonal or monoclonal HER2/neu antibodies. Each slide contains four control sections prepared for breast cancer cell lines that represent different levels of Her-2heu protein expression (-, 1+, 2+, 3+). These cells are formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded, and the slide is positively charged. It is a prescription-use device.
