Device Description
The BD FACSCanto System with BD FACSCanto software is comprised of a flow cytometer, a fluidics cart, and a computer. The fluidics cart contains operational fluids, the flow cytometer acquires and analyzes the sample, and the computer displays and prints the analysis. The flow cytometer utilizes three sub-systems; fluidics, optics and electronics. It contains two software packages, one for manual immunophenotyping and one for automatic immunophenotyping, and is compatible with the BD FACS Loader for automatic sample introduction.

No
The summary describes a standard flow cytometry system with software for manual and automatic immunophenotyping, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device used for identification and enumeration of lymphocyte subsets, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device "is intended for use as an In Vitro Diagnostic device for identification and enumeration of lymphocyte subsets in human cells".

No

The device description explicitly states that the system is comprised of a flow cytometer, a fluidics cart, and a computer, indicating the presence of hardware components beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The very first sentence explicitly states: "The BD FACSCanto System with BD FACSCanto software is intended for use as an In Vitro Diagnostic device..." This is the most direct confirmation.
  • Purpose: The intended use describes the device's function as "identification and enumeration of lymphocyte subsets in human cells in suspension." This is a diagnostic test performed on biological samples outside of the body, which is the definition of an in vitro diagnostic.
  • Clinical Context: The intended use also mentions "Immunophenotyping in clinical laboratories," further reinforcing its use in a clinical diagnostic setting.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device(s)" with a K number (K973483) indicates that this device has gone through the regulatory process for medical devices, specifically likely a 510(k) submission, which is common for IVDs.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the BD FACSCanto System with BD FACSCanto software is clearly intended and used as an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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.”

Dear Ms. Fonda:

Re:

This letter corrects our signed letter of September 17, 2004, regarding the typo to the device name. 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 (OS) 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.
