The device was cleared through the FDA 510(k) pathway on October 30, 1979. Manufactured by Helena Laboratories, it is classified as a Class 1 device under product code JJY.

What It Is

Lyophilized HDL cholesterol controls are used in clinical laboratories to calibrate and validate lipid testing equipment. They ensure accurate measurement of HDL cholesterol levels, which is crucial for assessing cardiovascular risk.

Clinical Applications

These controls are commonly used in clinical settings to verify the accuracy of HDL cholesterol assays. They are essential in laboratories performing lipid profiles for cardiovascular risk assessment.

Evidence Summary

The available literature includes 11 studies, primarily randomized controlled trials and prospective studies, conducted between 2014 and 2021. These studies explore the effects of various interventions on HDL cholesterol levels.

Reported Outcomes

Published studies report that lyophilized extracts and dietary interventions can influence HDL cholesterol levels. For instance, high-fat diets supplemented with specific plant extracts have shown to increase HDL cholesterol levels and inhibit adipocyte hypertrophy.

Safety Profile

Reported complications include potential variability in HDL cholesterol measurement accuracy due to differences in assay calibration. No direct adverse events related to the use of lyophilized HDL cholesterol controls were noted in the studies.

Evidence Limitations

The evidence is limited by the small sample sizes and the specific focus on dietary and plant extract interventions. Further research is needed to explore the broader clinical implications and long-term safety of these controls.
