Intended Use
The COULTER® LH 750 is a quantitative, automated hematology analyzer For In Vitro Diagnostic Use in clinical laboratories. The LH 750 System provides automated complete blood count, leukocyte differential, NRBC enumeration and reticulocyte analysis.
Device Description
LH 750 Hematology Analyzer with Ver. 2B Software is designed For In Vitro Diagnostic Use in clinical laboratories. The LH 750 provides automated complete blood count, leukocyte differential, NRBC enumeration and reticulocyte analysis. The purpose of the LH 750 Hematology Analyzer with Ver. 2B Software is to separate the normal patient, with all normal system-generated parameters, from the patient who needs additional studies of any of these parameters. These studies might include further measurements of cell size and platelet distribution, biochemical investigations, manual WBC differential or any other definitive test that helps diagnose the patient's condition. The product is an automated hematology analyzer capable of supplying a complete blood cell analysis and includes a differential leukocyte cell count. The product also provides automated reticulocyte analysis and NRBC enumeration. The instrument system is comprised of the analyzer and a suite of analytical reagents that allow for simultaneous quantitative determination of hemoglobin measurement, cell counting and sizing, reticulocyte determination, quality control, calibration and cleaning.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a standard automated hematology analyzer and its functions, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts. The description focuses on traditional analytical methods for blood cell analysis.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic hematology analyzer used for analyzing blood samples, not for treating patients.

Yes
The device is described as an "automated hematology analyzer" that separates "the normal patient...from the patient who needs additional studies," and states these additional studies "might include...any other definitive test that helps diagnose the patient's condition." This indicates its role in identifying potential conditions that require further diagnostic investigation.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "automated hematology analyzer" and includes hardware components like the analyzer instrument and analytical reagents, in addition to the software.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Explicit Statement: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section clearly states: "For In Vitro Diagnostic Use in clinical laboratories."
  • Device Description: The "Device Description" also reiterates: "is designed For In Vitro Diagnostic Use in clinical laboratories."
  • Function: The device performs automated analysis of blood components (complete blood count, leukocyte differential, NRBC enumeration, reticulocyte analysis), which are tests performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples to provide information for diagnosis or monitoring.
  • Intended User/Care Setting: The intended user is "Clinical laboratories," which is a typical setting for IVD devices.

§ 864.5220 Automated differential cell counter.

(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.”

4.0 Principle of Method:

The COULTER LH 750 Hematology Analyzer with Ver. 2B Software has the same technological characteristics and is substantially equivalent to the COULTER LH 750 Hematology Analyzer. Both devices utilize the Coulter Principle for enumerating and sizing blood cells, automatic diluting and mixing for sample processing and a single beam photometer for hemoglobinometry. They use COULTER VCS (volume, conductivity, light scatter) technology for WBC Differential analysis and classification and reticulocyte analysis. The analyzers use a reagent system consisting of an isotonic diluent, lytic reagents to lyse the red cells without significantly affecting the white cells and an instrument cleaner. Additionally, all systems include reagents used for reticulocyte staining and analysis.

Dear Dr. Sugrue:

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.
