The summary describes an automated sample processing system for preparing blood samples for flow cytometry. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in the context of medical devices. The device performs physical sample manipulation (wash, dilution, concentration) rather than data analysis or interpretation using AI/ML algorithms.
No
The device processes blood for analysis, but it does not treat or diagnose any disease. It prepares samples for in vitro diagnostic use.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "This product is intended 'For In Vitro Diagnostic Use' when using the 'IVDImmunophenotype' protocol and processing whole blood samples with COULTER reagents and antibodies labeled for In Vitro Diagnostic Use." This indicates its use in diagnostic procedures.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "compact, fully automated sample processing workstation" which performs physical operations like "cell wash, dilution, and concentration." This indicates it is a hardware device with automated functions, not solely software.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Explicit Statement: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section clearly states: "This product is intended 'For In Vitro Diagnostic Use' when using the 'IVDImmunophenotype' protocol and processing whole blood samples with COULTER reagents and antibodies labeled for In Vitro Diagnostic Use."
- Function: The device processes human blood for preparation of leukocyte suspensions for quantitative immunofluorescence analysis. This type of analysis is a common technique used in diagnostic procedures, particularly in hematology and immunology.
- Regulatory Context: The text mentions that the use of data depends on the regulatory status of the reagents, and specifically addresses the prohibition of using "For Research Use Only" data for diagnosis. This further reinforces the context of the device being used in a diagnostic setting.
- Predicate Device: The predicate device listed (K923530; COULTER® Multi-Q-Prep) is also likely an IVD, as it performs similar sample preparation functions for flow cytometry, a technique widely used in diagnostics.
While the device description focuses on the automated processing functions, the intended use statement explicitly designates it for in vitro diagnostic use under specific conditions.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The COULTER® CellPrep is an automated system that processes human blood for preparation of leukocyte suspensions for quantitative immunofluorescence analysis by optical flow cytometers.
The use of data generated by this instrument depends on the regulatory status of the reagents you use. If the reagent is labeled by the manufacturer "For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures," federal law prohibits the use of the data for diagnosis.
This product is intended "For In Vitro Diagnostic Use" when using the "IVDImmunophenotype" protocol and processing whole blood samples with COULTER reagents and antibodies labeled for In Vitro Diagnostic Use.

6.0 Intended Use:
The COULTER® CellPrep is an automated system that processes human blood for preparation of leukocyte suspensions for quantitative immunofluorescence analysis by optical flow cytometers.
The use of data generated by this instrument depends on the requlatory status of the reagents you use. If the reagent is labeled by the manufacturer "For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures," federal law prohibits the use of the data for diagnosis.
This product is intended "For In Vitro Diagnostic Use" when using the "IVDImmunophenotype" protocol and processing whole blood samples with COULTER reagents and antibodies labeled for In Vitro Diagnostic Use.
Clinical Significance:
Separation of cells with a phenotypic low antigen density from cells with no phenotypic specificity can be modulated by a simple removal of background fluorescence such as plasma, media, excess tagged antibody, and fluorescent drug compounds. Removal of these components increases the fluorescent separation of positive and negative cells.
7.0 Comparison to Predicate(s):
COULTER® CellPrep is similar to the COULTER® Multi-Q-Prep.
8.0 Summary of Performance Data:
The data in the Premarket Notification on safety and effectiveness supports a finding of substantial equivalence to products already in commercial distribution.
This summary of safety and effectiveness is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of the Safe Medical Device Act of 1990 and the implementing regulation 21 CFR 807.92.

Dear Mr. Coba:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
