Summary of Performance Studies
The performance studies of the CellaVision® DC-1 analyzer were conducted per the study protocols agreed by FDA in pre-submission (Q171293) covering all cell types and morphologies that the analyzer is intended to identify. For WBC, the samples studied covered both normal and abnormal levels for band neutrophils, segmented neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes. Samples with abnormal concentrations of promyelocytes, myelocytes, metamyelocytes, blast cells, variant lymphocytes, plasma cells and NRBC were also included in the study. For RBC, the samples studied covered all morphological characteristics. For PLT, four samples covering the predefined levels were included.

The CellaVision® DC-1 is an automated cell-locating device intended for in-vitro diagnostic use. CellaVision® DC-1 automatically locates and presents images of blood cells found on peripheral blood smears. The operator identifies and verifies the suggested classification of each cell according to type. CellaVision® DC-1 is intended to be used by skilled operators, trained in the use of the device and in recognition of blood cells
The CellaVision® DC-1 consists of a built-in PC with a Solid-State Disc (SSD) containing CellaVision DM Software (CDMS), a high-power magnification microscope with a LED illumination, an XY stage, a proprietary camera with firmware, built-in motor- and illumination LED controller, a casing and an external power supply. It is capable of handling one slide at a time.
The CellaVision® DC-1 can preclassify WBCs and precharacterize RBCs by use of artificial intelligence. For the larger system (DM1200), preclassification and precharacterization are performed using the Artificial Neural Network (ANN). For the CellaVision® DC-1 Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are used instead of ANN. The results from the clinical performance evaluations shows that the two systems (CellaVision® DC-1, tested device and CellaVision® DM1200, predicate device) have similar performance when preclassifying WBCs and precharacterizing RBCs using to the two different network types.
The CellaVision® DC-1 is for prescription use only.

5.6.4 Specimen identification

5.6.5 Anticoagulant
All samples used in the analytical and clinical studies were collected using K3EDTA as the anticoagulant. The protocols used in these studies state that both K₂EDTA are acceptable to use.
Studies [1, 2] have confirmed the equivalence between the two anticoagulants and that any difference between the two anticoagulants are minimal and unlikely to be of any clinical significance. Furthermore, the recognized CLSI standard [3] no longer defines K₂EDTA and K3EDTA as separate EDTA options (recognition number 7-221).
It is concluded that, based on available scientific literature that any differences between results obtained with blood collected in K5EDTA tubes vs blood collected in K2EDTA are minimal and unlikely to be of any clinical significance. ¹
5.6.6 Calibration
CellaVision recommends that calibration is performed once a year by a service engineer.
5.6.7 Quality control
5.6.7.1 Self-Test
The CellaVision® DC-1 analyzer performs self-tests during startup of the software, and at certain points during the operation of the analyzer. When the software starts, the analyzer is checked before the user can start analyzing. During this phase, both the hardware and the software components are tested for anomalies, as well as various requirements for the operation of the analyzer. If the LIS communication is enabled, the program will also check the connection to the LIS.
The communication with, and response of the hardware, is tested continuously during the operation of the analyzer, and a message will inform the user if an error occurs during slide processing or other operations on the analyzer.
5.6.7.2 Cell Location Test
A cell location test shall be run at least once a day and after any changes in the staining procedure or the staining solutions for quality control. Cell location slides are prepared and processed by the customer from a freshly stained slide from a blood sample with a WBC

count within the normal range. The cell location test verifies that the quality of the slide preparation process is good enough to allow the analyzer to locate the cells needed for the analysis. It also verifies the analyzer's ability to locate cells. More details on the cell location test can be found in the CellaVision® DC-1 Instructions for Use.
5.6.8 Principle of operation
From a peripheral blood sample, typically flagged by a cell-counter indicating an abnormal morpholoqy, a thin blood film is wedged on a glass slide (a blood smear). The blood smear is then stained with Romanowsky stain. The system uses stained microscope slides from EDTAanticoaqulated whole blood.
The operator enters the order ID for the slide, either manually or using an optional barcode reader. If a Laboratory Information System (LIS) is used, the device automatically fetches order data for the sample from the LIS.
The operator places the slide in the loading tray of the device and closes the input hatch. The device automatically moves the slide under the microscope.
Starting at 33 mm from the edge of the slide, the device looks for a monolayer in the smear. Once a monolayer is found, the device scans the monolayer in a battlement pattern. While doing this, the device locates any WBCs and stores high quality images of each located WBC. The device also locates and stores an image of a part of the RBC monolayer. When enough WBCs and the image of the RBC monolayer have been captured, the analyzer moves the slide back to the loading tray.
The device software pre-classifies each located WBC. It also precharacterizes the RBC morphology based on the image of the RBC monolayer. By using the overview image, the operator can calculate or estimate the level of PLTs. These preliminary results, that is, the preclassifications, precharacterization and PLT levels are then stored in a database.
A skilled operator, trained in the use of the software and in recognition of blood cells, then opens the order to review and verify (or modify) the preliminary results. The review can be done either at the device or using the CellaVision Remote Review Software (CRRS).

Substantial equivalence information 5.7
5.7.1 Technological Characteristics Comparison with Predicate
Like the predicate device, CellaVision® DC-1 locates white blood cells, stores digital images of the cells and displays the images in an organized manner and suggests a cell class for each cell to aid operators in performing the differential count procedure. A competent operator is required to verify or modify the suggested classification of each cell. It is intended to be used by skilled operators, trained in the use of the device and in recognition of blood cells. Like the predicate device, CellaVision®DC-1 presents an overview image from which it is possible to characterize red blood cells regarding size, shape and color and count PLTs.
Principle of operation/comparison with predicate device 5.8
The method requires a skilled operator to review the images of the cells as does the predicate device. See attached substantial equivalence comparisons (Table 5:2).

5.9 Brief discussion of clinical tests supporting a determination of substantial equivalence
Clinical evaluations have been performed to confirm equivalence with the predicate method (DM1200) for differentiation of WBCs, precharaterization of RBCs and estimation of PLTs. In the following sections CellaVision® DC-1 and CellaVision® DM1200 will be denominated DC-1 and DM1200.
5.9.1 Performance data
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
5.10 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
EMC testing was conducted on the DC-1 and Power supply ATS090-P120. The test showed that the DC-1 is in conformity with IEC 61010-1:2010 and IEC 61010-2-101:2015.
5.11 Software Verification and Validation Testing
Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and Staff, "Guidance for the Content of premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software application was considered as a "moderate" level of concern, since a malfunction failure or latent design flaw in the software could lead to an erroneous diagnosis or a delay in delivery of appropriate medical care that could lead to a minor injury.
5.12 Analytical Performance: Precision, Repeatability
The repeatability studies were conducted in a clinical setting using three different laboratories. The study outline for the three repeatability studies was a so-called 20 x 2 x 2 single-site repeatability study and was based on CLSI EP05-A3 (Evaluation of Precision of Quantitative Measurement Procedures; Approved Guideline – Third Edition).
5.12.1 WBC Repeatability
Five samples at each of the sites were selected for the study. All slides were processed on the DC-1 according to the study outline which was a so-called 20 x 2 x 2 single-site repeatability study (total of 80 runs/sample). The evaluation was performed on the preclassified results suggested by the device. The proportional cell count in percent for each cell class was used to estimate total variance and variance components for repeatability (within-run, between-run, between-day and within laboratory) by an ANOVA. All tests except repeatability and within
12
laboratory precision on three occasions met acceptance criteria. The three samples all displayed variation in mean values between slide 1 and 2 for the specific cell types, resulting in a variation slightly above acceptance criteria.
The overall results from the WBC repeatability evaluation of the DC-1 at all three sites were successful.
5.12.2 RBC Repeatability
Five samples at each of the sites were selected for the study. All slides were processed on the DC-1 according to the study outline which was a so-called 20 x 2 x 2 sinqle-site repeatability study (total of 80 runs/sample). The evaluation was performed on the precharacterized results suggested by the device. Repeatability in terms of grade (0, 1, 2 or 3) for each morphological characteristic was evaluated. The most prevalent grade reported was evaluated, and the agreement (percentage of runs reporting the grade) was calculated for each morphology. The agreement was evaluated for each slide and run (1st and 200 daily run, respectively), as well as for each sample. One sample displayed variation in mean value between slide 1 and 2 for the specific cell type, resulting in a variation above acceptance criteria.
The overall results from the RBC repeatability evaluation of the DC-1 at all three sites were successful.
5.12.3 PLT Repeatability
Four samples at each of the sites were selected for the study. All slides were processed on the DC-1 according to the study outline which was a so-called 20 x 2 x 2 single-site repeatability study (total of 80 runs/sample). For each PLT level (significantly decreased, decreased, normal or increased) the agreement (percentage of runs reporting the actual PLT level) was evaluated. The agreement was evaluated for each slide and run (14t and 2nd daily run, respectively) as well as for each sample.
The repeatability of PLT analysis met the acceptance criterion in all samples at all three sites.
5.13 Analytical Performance: Precision, Reproducibility
The reproducibility study was conducted in a clinical setting using three different laboratories. The study outline was a so-called 3 x 5 x 5 multi-site reproducibility study and was based on CLSI EP05-A3 (Evaluation of Precision of Quantitative Measurement Procedures; Approved Guideline – Third Edition).
5.13.1 WBC Reproducibility
Five samples were included in the study. Five slides were prepared from each sample and processed every day at each of three study sites for five days (a 3 x 5 x 5 study). The reproducibility analysis was performed on verified data. The proportional cell count in percent for each cell class was used to estimate total variance components for reproducibility by an ANOVA based on CLSI EP05-A3. Evaluation was performed for each cell class per sample as well as per sample and site.
The overall results from the reproducibility evaluation of the DC-1 are considered to be successful.
13
5.13.2 RBC Reproducibility
Four samples were included in the study. Five slides were prepared from each sample and processed every day at each of three study sites for five days (a 3 x 5 x 5 study). The reproducibility analysis was performed on verified data. Reproducibility in terms of grade (0, 1, 2 or 3) for each morphological characteristic was evaluated. The most prevalent grade reported was evaluated, and the agreement (percentage of runs reporting the grade) was calculated. The agreement was evaluated for each morphology per sample as well as per sample and site.
The overall results from the reproducibility evaluation of the DC-1 are considered to be successful.
5.13.3 PLT Reproducibility
Four samples were included in the study. Five slides were prepared from each sample and processed every day at each of three study sites for five days (a 3 x 5 x 5 study). The operator used the overview image to count the platelets per grid square.
For each PLT level (significantly decreased, normal or increased) the agreement (percentage of runs reporting the most prevalent level) was calculated for each sample as well as for each sample and site. The reproducibility of the PLT count met the acceptance criterion in all samples.
The overall results from the reproducibility evaluation of the DC-1 are considered to be successful.

5.14 Clinical Performance: Method, Comparison
The comparison studies were conducted at three different laboratories for each analyte (WBC, RBC and PLT).
Comparison studies were conducted comparing the DC-1 (test device) with the DM1200 (reference device) for each of the cell types (WBC, RBC and PLT).
Three comparison studies have been performed for each of the cell types (3 for WBC, 3 for RBC and 3 for PLT). The WBC and RBC studies were based on CLSI H20-A2 (RBC, only applicable parts).
5.14.1 WBC Comparison
ln total 598 samples (1196 slides, A and B slide) were analyzed on both the DM1200 and on the DC-1 across the three sites. The verified WBC results from the DC-1 were compared to the corresponding results from the DM1200. Accuracy as well as Positive (PPA), Negative (NPA) and Overall Agreement (OA) were determined.

5.14.1.2 WBC Accuracy
Accuracy between WBC analysis results from the DC-1 compared to the DM1200 was determined using linear regression. The mean differential counts for individual cell types with a normal level of >5% were analyzed. The slope of the regression line when compared with the reference method should be within 0.8-1.2 with an intercept within ±0.2. The accuracy evaluations were successful in all studies and shows no systematic difference between the DC-1 and the DM1200.
The accuracy agreement for the applicable WBCs (Segmented Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Eosinophils and Monocytes) were all within the acceptance criteria.
5.14.2 RBC Comparison
In total 586 samples were analyzed on both the DM1200 and on the DC-1across the three sites. The verified RBC results from the DC-1 were compared to the corresponding results from the DM1200.
PPA, NPA and OA with two-sided 95% confidence intervals, comparing the DC-1 results with the DM1200 results, were calculated. The results were assumed to be normally distributed and calculations of 95% confidence intervals have been performed as described in EP-12-A2.

5.16 Conclusion
The CellaVision® DC-1 analyzer has the same intended use as the predicate device, the CellaVision® DM1200 analyzer cleared in K092868. They are quantitative, automated hematology analyzers for In Vitro Diagnostic Use in clinical laboratories. These analyzers may be used with K2 EDTA or K3 EDTA whole blood. Both analyzers are only to be used by trained medical professionals to identify abnormal parameters of WBC, RBC and PLT. The performance studies of the CellaVision® DC-1 analyzer were conducted per the study protocols agreed by FDA in pre-submission (Q171293) covering all cell types and morphologies that the analyzer is intended to identify. For WBC, the samples studied covered both normal and abnormal levels for band neutrophils, segmented neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes. Samples with abnormal concentrations of promyelocytes, myelocytes, metamyelocytes, blast cells, variant lymphocytes, plasma cells and NRBC were also included in the study. For RBC, the samples studied covered all morphological characteristics. For PLT, four samples covering the predefined levels were included. The performance comparison study results demonstrated that the CellaVision® DC-1 analyzer is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, the CellaVision® DM1200 analyzer and the few differences do not raise new questions of the safety and effectiveness.
The overall results from both the clinical and analytical evaluations concluded that the studies performed for WBC, RBC and PLT on the CellaVision® DC-1 are considered to be successful. No adverse events were reported from any of the studies.
