The Yumizen H2500 is a quantitative multiparameter fully automated hematology analyzer intended for in-vitro diagnostic use in clinical laboratories by qualified healthcare professionals for the screening of patient populations.
The Yumizen H2500 is intended to perform tests on the following specimens:
- Anticoagulated whole blood specimens ●
- Body fluids (synovial fluids, serous fluids and cerebrospinal fluids). .
The Yumizen H2500 classifies and enumerates the following parameters:
- A complete blood count (CBC) consisting of TNC, WBC, RBC, HGB, calculated . HCT, MCV, calculated MCH, calculated MCHC, RDW-SD, RDW-CV, PLT, PLT-Ox, LPF, MPV.
- A leukocyte differential count consisting of LYM (%#), MON (%#), NEU (%/#), ● EOS (%/#), BAS (%/#), IMG (%/#)
- A nucleated red blood cell count consisting of NRBC (%/#). ●
- A reticulocyte analysis consisting of RET (%/#), calculated CRC, IRF, RHCC. ●
- Quantitative determination of blood cells in synovial fluids, serous fluids and . cerebrospinal fluids consisting of BFWBC, BFRBC, BFPN (%/#), BFMN (%/#).
Note: Venous and capillary whole blood should be collected in K2EDTA anticoagulant. Serous and synovial fluids should be collected without anticoagulant or in K2EDTA anticoagulant to prevent clotting of fluid. The use of anticoagulants with cerebrospinal fluid specimens is neither required nor recommended. Alternatively, Sodium Heparin or Lithium Heparin may be used for synovial fluid.
The HORIBA Medical analyzer modules Yumizen H2500 are multi-parameter hematology analyzers intended to perform tests on whole blood samples collected in K2EDTA and body fluids (synovial and serous) collected in K2EDTA anticoaqulant. The analyzers can also perform tests on cerebrospinal fluids which should not be collected in any anticoaqulant.
The Analyzer Units (Yumizen H2500) aspirate, dilute, mix, and analyze blood and body fluid samples.
The Yumizen H2500 model provides Complete Blood Count (CBC), Differential (DIFF), Reticulocyte counts (RET) and Optical Platelet counts as well as Body Fluid counts (BF).
The analyzer models may function with:
- · a Data Management Unit (Yumizen P8000) which is the interface with the laboratory connections (LIS) and the Analyzer Unit(s). Through its interface, the Yumizen P8000 enables the user to monitor the workflow of patient data, centralize result data, perform reflex testing, customize rules, centralize the validation operations, run quality control, manage quality assurance on results.
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
Since specific acceptance criteria values were not explicitly stated for all performance aspects, I will infer them as generally "met predefined acceptance criteria" or "demonstrated comparable performance" where stated in the document.
Test Category | Parameter | Acceptance Criteria (Inferred) | Reported Device Performance |
