§ 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.”

Principle of Method: 4.0

The COULTER LH 750 Hematology Analyzers utilizes the Coulter Principle for enumerating and sizing blood cells, automatic diluting and mixing for sample processing and a single beam Sizing blood oche, actornatio and ... They use COULTER VCS (yolume, 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.

For body fluids analysis, specimen is aspirated into the LH 700 Series Analyzer via the manual mode and is diluted in separate WBC and RBC baths. The Coulter Method of counting cells is used to detect and measure changes in electrical resistance when a cell, suspended in a conductive diluent, passes through a small aperture. Each suspended cell acts as an insulator. As the cell passes through the aperture, it momentarily increases the resistance of the electrical path between two submerged electrodes, one located on each side of the aperture. The resistance botwoon the cabrical pulse. The accumulation of electrical pulses are channelized, processed for coincidence correction, and multiplied by a calibration factor, yielding the WBC and RBC counts.

The WBC result represents the TNC (total nucleated cell count) in the analysis of Body Fluids.

5.0 Indications for Use:

The COULTER® LH 750 Hematology Analyzer is a quantitative, automated hematology Analyzer and leukocyte differential counter For In Vitro Diagnostic Use in clinical laboratories. The COULTER® LH 750 Hematology Analyzer also provides automated Reticulocyte analysis and enumeration of nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) in whole blood and white blood cells (WBCs) and red blood cells (RBCs) in body fluids.

Description of the modification: 6.0

The labeling for the marketed COULTER LH 750 hematology analyzer with Version 2B software release will be modified relative to draft product labeling submitted in the original premarket notification (K030606) to indicate a sample stability of eight (8) hours for synovial fluid analysis (rather than 1 hour) and eight (8) hours for serous fluid analysis (rather than 24 hours) to reflect actual validated performance.

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.
