The device description focuses on traditional flow cytometry methods for cell identification and enumeration based on antibody binding and fluorescence gating. There is no mention of AI/ML algorithms for data analysis or interpretation.
No
This device is for in vitro diagnostic use, intended to identify and enumerate specific lymphocyte populations in blood for diagnostic purposes, not for treating a condition.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "For in vitro diagnostic use." The device identifies and enumerates specific lymphocyte populations in blood, which is a diagnostic purpose.
No
The device description clearly outlines a system that includes physical components: a conjugated monoclonal reagent (TriTEST CD3 FITC/CD16+CD56 PE/CD45 PerCP) and TRUCOUNT Absolute Count Tubes. While software is involved in the analysis of flow cytometry data, the core of the device is a physical reagent and tube system used for sample preparation and staining.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Explicit Statement: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "For in vitro diagnostic use".
- Purpose: The device is intended to identify and enumerate specific cell populations (T and NK lymphocytes) in blood, which is a biological sample taken from the body. This analysis is performed in vitro (outside the body).
- Clinical Relevance: The intended use mentions identifying and enumerating these cells in "normal individuals and patients with certain tumors and viral infections," indicating a clinical application for diagnosis or monitoring.
- Device Description: The description details the process of using the reagent to stain blood cells for analysis by a flow cytometer, a common technique in in vitro diagnostics.
- Predicate Device: The mention of predicate devices (K913192 Simultest M IMK-Lymphocyte Tube F; Simultest IMK-Lymphocyte Tube F plus automated differential cell counter (ADCC)) which are also IVDs further supports this classification.

Device Description
The BDIS TriTEST CD3 fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)/CD16+CD56 phycoerythrin (PE)/CD45 peridinin chlorophyll protein (PeCP) reagent is a three-color, direct immunofluorescence reagent for identifying and enumerating percentages of T lymphocytes (CD3+) and Natural Killer lymphocytes (CD3- and CD16+ and/or CD56+) in erythrocytelysed whole blood (LWB). When used with TRUCOUNT Absolute Count Tubes, the product will yield absolute counts in cells/uL. The Becton Dickinson TriTEST/TRUCOUNT system for immunophenotyping consists of a flow cytometer (either from BDIS or from another manufacturer), conjugated monoclonal reagent (TriTEST CD3 FITC/CD16+CD56 PE/CD45 PerCP) and TRUCOUNT Absolute Count Tubes.
The process to obtain lymphocyte subset percentages includes: 1) obtaining a whole blood sample, 2) cell-surface antigen staining with three-color monoclonal antibody reagents, 3) erythrocyte lysis, and 4) flow cytometric acquisition and analysis of list mode data. Analysis involves computing the ratio of reagent-positive events to the CD45 positive events, and expressing the ratio as a percentage.
To obtain absolute counts, the TriTEST reagent and whole blood are added directly to an Absolute Count Tube prior to lysis. The remaining process, until analysis, is identical to that for percentages. Analysis for absolute counts requires that an additional region, the bead region, be identified and the events in this region counted. The proportion of reagent positive events to bead events (P) is computed. The absolute count is P x (beads/pellet)/(volume of blood sample).
When monoclonal antibody reagents are added to human whole blood, the fluorochromelabeled antibodies bind specifically to antigens on the surface of leukocytes, thus identifying lymphocyte populations. The patient blood sample is added to the counting bead pellet and is treated with fluorochrome-labeled antibodies and the erythrocytes are lysed with FACS® Lysing Solution. The flow cytometer is set up so that cell populations for most samples occupy approximately the same region of fluorescence space. The sample is then introduced into the flow cytometer and the stained cells and beads fluoresce when excited by a laser beam.
The three-color reagent permits identification of lymphocyte subsets using fluorescence gating instead of scatter gating. This three-color reagent allows direct gating on the CD45-positive population using a combination of fluorescence and side scatter parameters. By gating on the CD45-positive population, a maximum number of lymphocytes may be captured in the gate and non-lymphocyte contamination may be minimized.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Several studies were performed:
- Accuracy was determined for both percentages and absolute counts. Accuracy data demonstrated the TriTEST product's equivalence to Simultest and TriTEST/TRUCOUNT product's equivalence to Simultest/ADCC.
- Use of an Isotype Control was studied. Data was analyzed for percent T lymphocytes and percent NK lymphocytes first using a control to set lymphocyte gate and quadrant markers and then using only the stained sample to set a lymphocyte gate and quadrant markers. Data indicated that the reagent may be used with or without an isotype control.
- Reference range studies were performed. Many variables, such as sex, age and geographical location may influence the reference range. Each site must determine its own reference range.
- A stability study was conducted to assess the time effect relating to age of blood (timefrom-draw) and the time effect relating to the age of the stain (time-from-sample preparation), as well as the combined effect of both. Stability was determined for both percentages and absolute counts. Results indicate that samples should be stained and analyzed within 6 hours of draw.
- Within-specimen reproducibility was performed at BDIS; 10 replicates from 3 specimens were assessed. Within-specimen reproducibility was also performed at 3 clinical sites; 3 aliquots from each donor were assessed. Results demonstrated acceptable within-sample reproducibility.
- Linearity was determined using blood samples from 3 normal donors diluted to 5 concentrations, ranging from 16,700 to 200 lymphocytes/pL and from 31,000 to 2500 WBC/uL. Results indicate a linear response over this range.
- Cross reactivity of these clones is reported in the literature. Conjugation and product formulation have not changed their specificity.
- Results from a coss platform reproducibility study indicated that the TriTEST reagent CD3/CD16+CD56/CD45, with or without TRUCOUNT tubes, can be used on flow cytometers not made by Becton Dickinson.

The BDIS TriTEST™ CD3 FITC/CD16+CD56 PE/CD45 PerCP reagent with TRUCOUNT Absolute Count Tubes when used to enumerate percentages of T lymphocytes and Natural Killer lymphocytes (NK cells), is substantially equivalent to Simultest M IMK-Lymphocyte Tube F (cleared to market under 510(k) K913192).

Intended Use (21 CFR 807.92(a)(5))
For in vitro diagnostic use to identify and enumerate percentages and absolute counts of T and NK lymphocytes in blood.
Indications for Use
- For use with any flow cytometer with specified detection ranges .
- For use with erythrocyte lysed whole blood .
- For use with or without an isotype control .
- For in vitro diagnostic use .
- To identify and enumerate percentages and absolute counts of CD3+ and CD16+CD56+ .
- lymphocytes in normal individuals and patients with certain tumors and viral infections
Comparison to Predicate Device (21 CFR 807.92(a)(6))
The three-color reagent (for percentages) is substantially equivalent to Simultest IMK-Lymphocyte Tube F in that they share the same intended uses and use essentially the same monoclonal antibody/flow cytometric methodology. The TriTEST and Simultest products differ in the steps used to determine analysis gates to identify the lymphocyte population.
The TriTEST / TRUCOUNT system (for absolute counts) is substantially equivalent to Simultest IMK-Lymphocyte Tube F plus ADCC in that they share the same intended uses. Compared to the predicate, the TriTEST/TRUCOUNT system requires less sample handling, a simpler sample preparation scheme and fewer sample tubes to achieve the same end result. Results demonstrate that the products yield essentially equivalent performance characteristics.
Performance Data (21 CFR 807.92(b)(2))
Performance of the product was established by testing at Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Institute of Tropical Medicine, University of North Carolina, and at Becton Dickinson Immunocytometry Systems laboratories in San Jose, California.
