No
The description focuses on immuno-magnetic selection and fluorescent enumeration, with no mention of AI/ML terms or image processing techniques typically associated with AI/ML in this context. The performance studies are standard clinical validation metrics.
No.
The device is used for enumerating fluorescently labeled leukocyte subsets, which is a diagnostic function to count and identify cells, not to treat a condition or disease.
Yes
The device "enumerates fluorescently labeled leukocyte subsets," specifically CD3 and CD4 lymphocyte counts, as shown in the performance studies. This process of quantifying specific cell types for clinical purposes, such as monitoring HIV+ patients, is a characteristic function of a diagnostic device.
No
The device description explicitly mentions hardware components like the "CellTracks Analyzer," "Magnest," and reagents containing ferrofluids and fluorescent conjugates, indicating it is not a software-only device.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "To enumerate fluorescently labeled leukocyte subsets that are immuno-magnetically selected and aligned." This describes a test performed on biological samples (leukocyte subsets) to provide information about a patient's health status (enumerating specific cell types).
- Device Description: The device description details how the system works with reagents and biological samples (blood) to identify and count target cells. This is a core function of an in vitro diagnostic device.
- Clinical Study: The description includes a clinical study performed on blood samples from patients (HIV+) and normal donors to determine CD3 and CD4 lymphocyte counts. This type of study is conducted to validate the performance of a diagnostic test.
- Comparison to Predicate Device: The device is compared to the Becton Dickinson FACSCalibur™ System, which is a known flow cytometry system used for diagnostic purposes, further indicating its intended use as an IVD.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies describe evaluations of linearity, precision, and the effects of interfering substances, all of which are standard tests for validating the analytical performance of an IVD.
- Intended User/Care Setting: The intended users are "traditional Clinical laboratories and Research Institutions," which are settings where IVD testing is typically performed.
Based on the intended use, the method of operation involving biological samples and reagents, the clinical validation, and the comparison to a known diagnostic device, the CellTracks Analyzer clearly fits the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The CellTracks Analyzer is used in conjunction with reagents containing ferrofluids and fluorescent conjugates. Depending on the application, samples may be prepared manually or using the CellTracks AutoPrep Sample Preparation System. Ferrofluid consists of a magnetic core surrounded by a polymeric layer coated with antibodies for capturing cells. Ferrofluid particles are colloidal (25-100 nanometers in radius) and when mixed with a sample containing target cells, the antibodies bound to the ferrofluid bind the associated antigens to the target cells. Fluorescent reagents are added for the identification and the enumeration of the target cells. The ferrofluid/sample mixture is placed in a magnetic field (Magnest), to select and align the labeled target cells.
The Magnest, containing the fluorescence-labeled magnetically aligned target cells, is placed on the CellTracks analyzer and is ready for analysis.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
A Clinical study was performed using blood samples from 149 HIV+ patients and 150 samples obtained from normal donors to determine CD3 and CD4 lymphocyte counts. The samples were obtained from three geographically dispersed sites and Medical Technologists performed testing according to NCCLS EP9-A. Method Comparison and Bias Estimation Using Patient Samples. The samples were analyzed using three CellTracks™ Analyzers and compared with results of the Becton Dickinson FACSCalibur™ System.
Summary of Performance Studies
Clinical study: A Clinical study was performed using blood samples from 149 HIV+ patients and 150 samples obtained from normal donors to determine CD3 and CD4 lymphocyte counts. The samples were obtained from three geographically dispersed sites and Medical Technologists performed testing according to NCCLS EP9-A. Method Comparison and Bias Estimation Using Patient Samples. The samples were analyzed using three CellTracks™ Analyzers and compared with results of the Becton Dickinson FACSCalibur™ System. Results of the testing indicated a slope of 0.95 and an R2 of 0.9802 for CD4 and a slope of 0.77 and an R2 of 0.9375 for CD3.
Nonclinical testing: Linearity testing showed linearity from 0 to 2,000 cells/ul. A 20-day precision study was performed according to NCCLS Guideline EP5-A, Evaluation of Precision Performance of Clinical Chemistry Devices using three CellTracks™ Analyzers and BD Multi-Check Controls. The normal CD3 control (1086 cells/ul) within-run CV's ranged from 3.68% to 4.34%. For the low CD3 control (505cells/ul), within run CV's ranged from 3.89% to 6.60%. The potential affects of interfering substances was tested using lipid levels from 0 to approximately 5,000 mg/dL. hematocrits from 43.3 to 76.2%, platelet counts from 210 x 102 to 2,040 x 102, white blood cell counts of 4.1 x 103 to 25.0 x 10 and free hemoglobin in plasma levels of 10.3 to 12.4 g/dL, none of the interfering substances utilized had an adverse affect on the CD3 or CD4 counts obtained.

(a)
Identification. An automated differential cell counter is a device used to identify one or more of the formed elements of the blood. The device may also have the capability to flag, count, or classify immature or abnormal hematopoietic cells of the blood, bone marrow, or other body fluids. These devices may combine an electronic particle counting method, optical method, or a flow cytometric method utilizing monoclonal CD (cluster designation) markers. The device includes accessory CD markers.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Premarket Notifications for Automated Differential Cell Counters for Immature or Abnormal Blood Cells; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA.”

Dear Mr. Scott:
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 Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. 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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807): labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820). This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
