The summary describes software and bead kits for calibrating and setting up flow cytometers, focusing on adjusting instrument parameters and monitoring performance. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms being used for data analysis, interpretation, or decision-making. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".
No
This device is for calibrating and setting up flow cytometers, not for treating or diagnosing medical conditions in patients. It is an accessory for in vitro diagnostic use.
No
The device is an accessory for instrument setup and performance monitoring of flow cytometers, designed to ensure the instrument is properly calibrated for diagnostic applications, rather than performing diagnosis itself. The text states "For flow cytometer set up and monitoring of instrument performance prior to performing reticulocyte ennumeration or immunophenotyping applications," and "An accessory device for instrument setup prior to performing reticulocyte ennumeration and immunophenotyping."
No
The device description explicitly states that the product includes both "Becton Dickinson FACSComp software and the CaliBRITE 4 bead kit". The bead kit is a physical component used in conjunction with the software for instrument setup and calibration.
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 used for setting up and monitoring the performance of flow cytometers prior to performing reticulocyte enumeration or immunophenotyping applications. These applications are typically performed on biological samples (like blood) to diagnose or monitor medical conditions, which falls under the scope of in vitro diagnostics.
- Accessory to IVD Procedures: While the device itself doesn't directly analyze patient samples for diagnosis, it is an essential accessory for ensuring the proper functioning of the flow cytometer, which is the instrument used for performing the actual in vitro diagnostic tests (reticulocyte enumeration and immunophenotyping).
Therefore, based on the provided information, this device is intended for use in an in vitro diagnostic context.

Storage stability of beads was determined to be 8 months under the conditions of use.
Once diluted, the two-bead preparation of CaliBRITE APC and unlabeled beads (Tube A) is stable for 8 hours. The five-bead preparation (Tube B) is stable for 1 hour after dilution.
- Reproducibility was measured
Between bead lots.
Within instrument across two computer platforms.
Within the set up options of lyse and wash (L/W) and lyse no wash (LNW) across colors.
Between manual and automated 4-color LNW setup options.
Within instrument over 20 days.

§ 864.5220 Automated differential cell counter.
(a)
Identification. An automated differential cell counter is a device used to identify one or more of the formed elements of the blood. The device may also have the capability to flag, count, or classify immature or abnormal hematopoietic cells of the blood, bone marrow, or other body fluids. These devices may combine an electronic particle counting method, optical method, or a flow cytometric method utilizing monoclonal CD (cluster designation) markers. The device includes accessory CD markers.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Premarket Notifications for Automated Differential Cell Counters for Immature or Abnormal Blood Cells; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA.”

Dear Ms. Morrow:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

Under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA-88), this device may require a CLIA complexity categorization. To determine if it does, you should contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at (770)488-7655.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4588.
