PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
NATtrol™ Influenza External Run Controls (NATFLUA.B-6MC, NATFLUAH1N1-6MC and NATCXVA9-6MC) are formulated with purified, intact virus particles that have been chemically modified to render them non-infectious and refrigerator stable*. Each control contains 6 x 0.5 mL vials of NATtrol™ Influenza A.B or Influenza A H1N1 (2009) or Coxsackie virus A9 NATtrol™.  These controls are supplied in a purified protein matrix that mimics the composition of a true clinical specimen. *NATtrol™ Patents Pending

INTENDED USE:
- NATtrol™ Influenza External Run Controls are designed to evaluate the performance of nucleic acid tests for determination of the presence of respiratory virus nucleic acids. NATFLUA.B-6MC, NATFLUAH1N1-6MC and NATCXVA9-6MC can also be used for quality control of clinical assays and training of laboratory personnel.
- NATFLUA.B-6MC, NATFLUAH1N1-6MC and NATCXVA9-6MC contain intact organisms and should be run in a manner identical to that used for clinical specimens.

ETIOLOGIC STATUS/BIOHAZARD TESTING:
- NATtrol™ inactivation was carried out on each control. The inactivation was verified by the absence of virus growth in a validated tissue culture based infectivity assay.
- The purified protein matrix was manufactured from materials that were screened and found to be negative for HIV 1&2 Ab, HBsAg, HTLV I&II Ab, HCV Ab,HIV RNA, HBV DNA and HCV RNA using FDA cleared kits at the single donor level.
