Device Description
The DxH 800 and DxH SMS form a family of integrated and interactive modular products that are scalable to meet the specific laboratory workflow and workload needs. Currently these products are offered as stand-alone devices only. DxH 800: The UniCel DxH 800 Analyzer is a quantitative, automated hematology analyzer for in vitro diagnostic use in screening patient populations found in clinical laboratories. The UniCel DxH 800 Analyzer provides a Complete Blood Count (CBC), Leukocyte Five-part Differential (Diff), Reticulocyte (RET), Nucleated Red Blood Cell (NRBC) on whole blood, Total Nucleated Count (TNC) and Red Blood Cell Count (RBC) on Body Fluids (cerebrospinal, serous and synovial) DxH SMS: The DxH Slidemaker Stainer is a fully automated slide preparation and staining device that aspirates a whole-blood sample, smears a blood film on a clean microscope slide, and delivers a variety of fixatives, stains, buffers, and rinse solutions to that blood smear.

Summary of DxH 800 Performance Testing

StudyTesting ApproachFDA Guidance DocumentsStandards/ ReferencesTesting Results
Electromagnetic
Compatibility
(EMC) InterferenceVerify that the EMC
interference of individual DxH
800 instruments is not impacted
when configured in a workcell
configuration.NoneNoneThe analysis demonstrated that it is unlikely that
EMC interference would be increased in the
connected DxH workcell as compared to a
stand-alone DxH 800.
Vibration TestingVerify that vibration introduced
from interconnection of
multiple DxH 800 and/or DxH
SMS instruments in a workcell
configuration does not impact
the performance of the
individual DxH 800
instruments.NoneNoneThe analysis demonstrated that it is unlikely that
vibration in the connected DxH workcell would
impact performance.

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion to Demonstrate Safety, Effectiveness & Equivalent Performance to Predicate:

The updates to the DxH 800 and DxH SMS with software v3.0 that are the subject of this submission, do not change the intended use, nor add or delete a contraindication for the device. The changes do not alter the device control mechanism, operating principle, energy type, environmental specification, ergonomics of the user interface, dimensional specifications, nor packaging. The device does not have expiration dating nor is it subject to sterilization.

The conclusions drawn from the performance testing discussed above demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and meets the performance acceptance criteria.

In summary, the updated DxH 800 and DxH SMS with software v3.0, as described in this submission are substantially equivalent in terms of safety and effectiveness to their predicate device and reference method, respectively.

  • The UniCel DxH 800 Coulter Cellular Analysis System v3.0 is substantially equivalent to ● the UniCel DxH 800 Coulter Cellular Analysis System v2.0 manufactured by Beckman Coulter.
  • The UniCel DxH Slidemaker Stainer Coulter Cellular Analysis System v3.0 is substantially equivalent to manually prepared blood films per the manual wedge-pull film technique as described in CLSI H20-A2, Reference Leukocyte (WBC) Differential Count (Proportional) and Evaluation of Instrumental Methods; Approved Standard

This summary of safety and effectiveness is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of the Safe Medical Device Act of 1990 and the implementing regulation 21 CFR 807.92.
