Intended Use
BD FACSCount CD4 reagents are used to enumerate the absolute counts of CD4 T lymphocytes and determine the percentage of lymphocytes that are CD4 T lymphocytes in unlysed whole blood (CD4 count and CD4 percentage). The reagents are for in vitro diagnostic use on a BD FACSCount instrument.
Device Description
BD FACSCount CD4 reagents are intended for use in enumerating the absolute counts of CD4 T lymphocytes and the percentage of lymphocytes that are CD4 T lymphocytes in unlysed whole blood using the BD FACSCount instrument system. The product offers a single test that requires one convenient, ready-to-use reagent tube labeled CD4. It is intended for use on a BD FACSCount instrument. The reagent kit consists of the following components: 50 reagent tubes of CD4 PE/CD14 PE-Cy5/CD15 PE-Cy5/fluorescent nuclear dye and counting reference beads, 65 reagent tube caps, One 5-mL vial of 5% formaldehyde in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), used as fixative solution.
More Information

No
The summary describes a flow cytometry reagent kit and instrument system for enumerating CD4 T lymphocytes. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational methods beyond standard data analysis for calculating counts and percentages. The performance studies focus on traditional analytical validation metrics like method comparison, precision, and linearity.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic reagent used to enumerate specific cell types (CD4 T lymphocytes) in blood samples. It is used for diagnostic purposes and does not directly treat or alleviate a condition.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the reagents "are for in vitro diagnostic use". Diagnosis involves identifying or enumerating specific health markers, which this device does by counting CD4 T lymphocytes.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device is a "reagent kit" consisting of physical components (reagent tubes, caps, fixative solution) intended for use with a specific hardware instrument (BD FACSCount instrument). It is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Explicit Statement in Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section clearly states: "The reagents are for in vitro diagnostic use on a BD FACSCount instrument."
  • Explicit Statement in Device Description: The "Device Description" section also states: "BD FACSCount CD4 reagents are intended for use in enumerating the absolute counts of CD4 T lymphocytes and the percentage of lymphocytes that are CD4 T lymphocytes in unlysed whole blood using the BD FACSCount instrument system." This describes a test performed outside of the body (in vitro) on a biological sample (whole blood) to provide diagnostic information (CD4 counts and percentages).

These explicit statements, along with the description of the reagents and their use in analyzing blood samples, definitively classify this device as an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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 Mr. Nakajima:

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.
