The document describes a flow cytometer and associated reagents and software for immunophenotyping. The data analysis software (Kaluza C) is described as a tool for manual analysis of listmode data with features like versatile plot displays and compensation options. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms being used for data processing, interpretation, or classification. The analysis workflow is described as manual gating and interpretation by a pathologist.
No
Explanation: The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device used for immunophenotyping and qualitative identification of cell populations to aid in the differential diagnosis of hematological neoplasms. It does not provide any treatment or therapy; it is solely for diagnostic purposes.
Yes
The DxFLEX Flow Cytometer and its associated ClearLLab 10C Panels are explicitly stated as an "in vitro diagnostic device" and are intended for "qualitative identification of cell populations by multiparameter immunophenotyping" as an "aid in the differential diagnosis of hematologically abnormal patients." These functions clearly diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as the DxFLEX Flow Cytometer, DxFLEX Daily OC Fluorospheres, and various reagents. While it includes software (Kaluza C and CytExpert), it is part of a larger system that includes physical hardware and consumables.
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 DxFLEX Flow Cytometer is intended for use as an in vitro diagnostic device..." and "The ClearLab 10C Panels are intended for in vitro diagnostic use...".
- Purpose of the Device: The device and its associated reagents are used to identify cell populations by multiparameter immunophenotyping as an aid in the differential diagnosis of hematologically abnormal patients. This is a diagnostic purpose performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological specimens.
- Specimen Types: The device is used with peripheral whole blood, bone marrow, and lymph node specimens, which are biological samples commonly used in in vitro diagnostic testing.
- Regulatory Context: The "Device Description" mentions that the ClearLLab 10C Reagent System is currently cleared on the Navios EX Flow cytometer under K183592, and this submission is to expand its use to the DxFLEX. K numbers are associated with FDA clearances for medical devices, including IVDs.
- Performance Studies: The "Summary of Performance Studies" describes various tests (linearity, carryover, detection capability, precision, clinical accuracy) that are typical for demonstrating the performance of an IVD.
All these points strongly indicate that the DxFLEX Flow Cytometer and the ClearLLab 10C Reagent System, when used together as described, are intended for in vitro diagnostic purposes.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The DxFLEX Flow Cytometer is intended for use as an in vitro diagnostic device for immunophenotyping using up to ten fluorescent detection channels using three lasers (488 nm, 638 nm and 405 nm) and two light scatter detection channels. It is intended for use with in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assays and software that are indicated for use with the instrument.
The ClearLab 10C Panels are intended for in vitro diagnostic use for qualitative identification of cell populations by multiparameter immunophenotyping on the Navios, Navios EX and DxFLEX flow cytometers. These reagents are used as an aid in the differential diagnosis of hematologically abnormal patients having, or suspected of having, the following hematopoietic neoplasms: chronic leukemia, acute leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and/or myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). The reagents can be used with peripheral whole blood (collected in K2EDTA, Acid Citrate Dextrose (ACD) or Heparin), bone marrow (collected in K2EDTA, ACD or Heparin) and lymph node specimens. Interpretation of the results should be confirmed by a pathologist or equivalent professional in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings.

Device Description
The ClearLLab 10C Reagent System is currently cleared on the Navios EX Flow cytometer under K183592. Beckman Coulter has developed the DxFLEX Flow Cytometer, a next generation flow cytometer that offers enhanced performance in terms of optics and electronics, as well as more convenient installation and operation. The indications for use of the ClearLLab 10C Reagent System will be expanded to include its use on the DxFLEX Flow Cytometer. Furthermore, the indications for use will be clearly stated on labeling. The intended use of the ClearLLab 10C Reagent System will not be modified.
ClearLLab 10C Reagent System components that are included with use on the DxFLEX Flow Cytometer:
- DxFLEX Flow Cytometer [3 laser/10 color configuration] [New]
- DxFLEX Daily OC Fluorospheres [New]
- ClearLLab 10C Panels [B, T, M1 and M2] [Modification to Existing]
- ClearLLab Compensation Kit [Modification to Existing]
- ClearLLab Compensation Beads [Modification to Existing]
- ClearLLab Control Cells, normal and abnormal [Modification to Existing]
- Kaluza C data analysis software [Existing]
- IOTest 3 Fixative Solution [Existing]
- IOTest 3 Lysing Solution [Existing]
The ClearLLab 10C Reagent System is run on Beckman Coulter's DxFLEX Flow Cytometer (3 Laser/10 Color configuration). The DxFLEX Flow Cytometer includes the hardware and CytExpert for DxFLEX software. It requires off-line manual sample processing and use of the accompanying lysing reagent. As part of the ClearLLab 10C Reagent System, to allow proper utilization of this applications for the DxFLEX flow cytometers include ten fluorescent detection channels (FL1-FL10) and three laser configurations (blue, red and violet).
As with the workflow on the predicate system, LMD data analysis is performed manually using the Kaluza C Analysis Software. This Analysis Software package is supplied separately from the DxFLEX and must be installed on an independent computer workstation for off-line analysis of listmode files generated on the flow cytometer with the associated reagents and cytometer system software package, including Control Cell QC data and sample data analysis. The CvtExpert for DxFLEX software is NOT be recommended for analysis use with this application (Note that OC data DxFLEX Daily OC Fluorospheres and Compensation products will continue to be analyzed using the on-board instrument software).
Kaluza C Software is a software tool designed to work with *.fcs and *.lmd files generated from flow cytometers. The advantages of using the Kaluza C over the CytExpert for DxFLEX software are listed below:
- Powerful processing speed allows fast analysis of listmode data, including real-time updating of gating and compensation
- Plot displays are more versatile allowing linear, logarithmic and 'Logicle' (linear/log hybrid) axes as well as configurable scaling and zooming options
- Range of compensation options
- QC reporting includes Levey-Jennings plots and highlighted pass/fail criteria on results displays
Preset Kaluza C analysis templates for the ClearLLab 10C reagent system will be provided. The total WBC gate is defined in the histogram of SS vs. CD45-KO525-A by the inclusion of all CD45+ events with low, medium and high Side Scatter after the exclusion of the cells that were compromised and/or aggregated. A subsequent histogram defines specific leukocyte subset such as lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes. The low SS/bright CD45+ population identifies lymphocytes. Applicable markers are then displayed in subsequent histograms gated on lymphocytes. This process is repeated for mid SS/medium CD45+ populations to identify monocytes and for high SS/medium CD45+ to identify granulocytes.
