No
The device description mentions an "algorithm" for calculating the WBC Estimate, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or any related terms like neural networks or deep learning. The process described is based on counting classified cells and fields of view, which is a deterministic calculation rather than an AI/ML approach.
No
This device is for In Vitro Diagnostic Use and aids technologists in performing WBC estimates, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "For In Vitro Diagnostic Use," and the device aids in performing a "WBC Estimate," which is a diagnostic procedure to assess a patient's white blood cell count.
No
The device is described as a "laboratory instrument" and an "automated microscopic system" that "locates WBCs, stores digital images of the cells and displays the images". This implies the presence of hardware components for microscopy, image capture, and display, in addition to the software for image processing and calculation.
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 designed to aid in the performance of a WBC Estimate, which is a laboratory procedure performed on biological samples (blood smears) outside of the body. This aligns with the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device.
- Laboratory Instrument: The device is described as a "laboratory instrument," further indicating its use in a clinical laboratory setting for diagnostic purposes.
- Analysis of Biological Samples: The device processes and analyzes images of blood smears, which are biological samples.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the MICRO21 with WBC Estimate is clearly an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The MICRO21 with WBC Estimate is a new intended use that follows the same process as the currently approved MICRO21 with White Blood Cell (WBC) Differential (Diff). The MICRO21 with WBC Diff, Ref. No. K925670/A, is an automated microscopic system that locates WBCs, stores digital images of the cells and displays the images in an organized manner to aid technologists in performing the WBC Diff procedure. The MICRO21 process is substantially equivalent to the manual microscopic process.
The MICRO21 with WBC Estimate is an automated microscopic procedure that calculates an estimate of WBCs/uL using the information collected during the MICRO2/ with WBC Differential. Upon completion of the review process by a technologist, an algorithm calculates the WBC Estimate by using the number of classified WBCs and the number for low-power (200x magnification) fields visited. An estimated range for the WBCs/uL is calculated and reported.

Test Method 1, Accuracy: To confirm equivalence, 86 blood smear samples with Total WBC Counts ranging from 100 to 36,100 cells/JL were used. The study correlated the WBC Estimate on the MICRO21 with the total White Blood Cell Count generated by an automated cell counter such as the TOA Sysmex NE 9000, Coulter STKS or Technicon H2 and compared the MICRO21 with WBC Estimate to the Manual WBC Estimate. The automated cell counters were controlled and culibrated according to manufacturer's specifications at the various sites.
Test Method 2, Precision: To confirm the MICRO21 intra-instrument precision, one blood smear was prepared from each of 10 specimens. Each blood smear was processed 10 times in random order. The stored images were then presented to a technologist for review. The results were used to provide intra-instrument and within specimen precision.
Test Method 3, Correlation, WBC Classification Review: The technologist reviewed the images of nucleated cells captured by the MICRO21 and verified the image classification. The number of confirmed white blood cells (real cells) after the review was completed was the number used in the MICRO21 calculation of WBC Estimate. Non-white blood cells were reclassified as smudges, ignore or nucleated red blood cells. Three technologists performed the MICRO21 reviews.
Manual WBC Estimate: The Manual WBC Estimate was obtained by reviewing 86 blood smears under 500 or 1,000x magnification and calculating an estimate based on white blood cells per 10 fields of view. Three technologists performed the manual reviews.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Test Method 1, Accuracy: The study involved 86 blood smear samples. Key results showed correlation of the MICRO21 WBC Estimate with automated cell counters and comparison to manual WBC estimate.
Test Method 2, Precision: This study focused on intra-instrument precision using 10 specimens, each processed 10 times.
Test Method 3, Correlation, WBC Classification Review: This study involved technologists reviewing and verifying classification of nucleated cells captured by MICRO21.
Conclusion: Results are reported in the Summary of Results section and confirm that the MICRO21 with WBC Estimate is substantially equivalent to a Manual WBC Estimate. The results of this comparison confirm the safety and effectiveness of the MICRO21 WBC Estimate for the intended use as a laboratory instrument for locating, digitally storing and displaying white blood cells to aid the technologist in performing the WBC Estimate.

The MICRO21 with WBC Estimate is an automated microscopic procedure that calculates an estimate of WBCs/uL using the information collected during the MICRO2/ with WBC Differential. Upon completion of the review process by a technologist, an algorithm calculates the WBC Estimate by using the number of classified WBCs and the number for low-power (200x magnification) fields visited. An estimated range for the WBCs/uL is calculated and reported. A summary of the MICRO21 with WBC Estimate process is as follows:
- Patient blood smears are made on glass slides using an automated blood smearing device. 1.
- Each slide is stained with Wright's stain. 2.
- The slides are barcoded, placed into a slide frame and inserted into the MICRO21 for processing. 3.
- The MICRO21 locates WBCs and stores digital images of the cells. 4.
- The technologist reviews the stored images on a color monitor and verifies the white cell classification. న్.
- The MICRO21 automatically calculates the WBC Estimate by dividing the classified WBCs by the 6. number of low-power fields visited.
- At the completion of the procedure, the WBC Estimate is displayed as a range and is available on the 7. Final Report display and printout.

Non-white blood cells were reclassified as smudges, ignore or nucleated red blood cells. Three technologists performed the MICRO21 reviews.
Calculation of the MICRO21 with WBC Estimate
The method is based on the number of WBCs located within an area of optimal cell distribution and is correlated with the absolute WBC/yL of blood. The calculation of the MICRO2 / with WBC Estimate is based on the following formulation:
Real Cells x CF = MICRO21 WBC Estimate Fields
- Real Cells = the number of confirmed WBCs .
- Fields = the number of low-power (200x magnification) fields visited to capture the Real . Cells
- CF = Correction Factor, the numerical factor need to match MICRO2/ WBC Estimate with . Total WBC Count obtained using automated blood cell analyzer.
- MICRO2/WBC Estimate = WBC/uL of blood .
The Correction Factor was defined as the mean value of the 86 specimens tested.
Reporting the MICRO21 with WBC Estimate
The calculated MICRO21 WBC Estimate is displayed on the Report Screen and printed out in the Final Report. The reportable range is from 100 to ≥ 25,000 WBCs/pL and is displayed as follows:
MICRO21 WBC Estimate x , xxx - - y , yyy WBC/ uL
Manual WBC Estimate
The Manual WBC Estimate was obtained by reviewing 86 blood smears under 500 or 1,000x magnification and calculating an estimate based on white blood cells per 10 fields of view. Three technologists performed the manual reviews.
Conclusion
Results are reported in the Summary of Results section and confirm that the MICRO21 with WBC Estimate is substantially equivalent to a Manual WBC Estimate. The results of this comparison confirm the safety and effectiveness of the MICRO21 WBC Estimate for the intended use as a laboratory instrument for locating, digitally storing and displaying white blood cells to aid the technologist in performing the WBC Estimate.
