No
The device is an automated imaging system used to scan and identify nucleated blood cells for diagnostic purposes. It aids in the classification of cells, but does not directly treat or prevent diseases.
Yes
The device aids in the identification and enumeration of nucleated red blood cells and white blood cells from peripheral blood smears, providing information used for diagnosis or detection.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components that are part of the WinSCAN System, including a PC, monitor, keyboard, mouse, switchstick control unit, printer, microscope, filters, camera, image acquisition board, motorized devices, and motor controller unit. While software is a key component, it operates and controls this hardware.
Based on the provided information, the WinSCAN device is an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the system "scans peripheral blood smears for nucleated blood cells" and "enumerates them as #nRBC/100 white blood cells (WBC)". This is a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample (peripheral blood) to provide information about a patient's health status (the presence and enumeration of nRBCs).
- Device Description: The description details a system designed to analyze biological samples (blood smears) using microscopy and image processing to identify and count specific cell types.
- Anatomical Site: The analysis is performed on "Peripheral blood smears," which are biological samples.
- Performance Studies: The summary of performance studies compares the WinSCAN to a "standard manual microscope method," which is a common method for performing in vitro diagnostic tests on blood smears. The metrics reported (correlation coefficient, coefficient of variation) are typical for evaluating the performance of diagnostic devices.
- Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (K925670; Micro 21 System) further supports its classification as an IVD, as predicate devices are used for comparison in the regulatory process for new IVDs.
The fact that the operator performs the final classification of cells does not negate its IVD status. The system is designed to aid in the diagnostic process by locating, capturing, and presenting the cells for review and classification, which is a crucial step in the overall diagnostic workflow.

Device Description
The WinSCAN System is an automated imaging system that scans peripheral blood smears for nucleated blood cells. WinSCAN software provides for operator interaction and decision making to identify nucleated red blood cells (nRBC), and enumerate them as #nRBC/100 white blood cells (WBC). The operator selects the recommended parameters for nucleated cells, starts the scan and can walk away. The system locates and stores color images of the nucleated cells for each slide, the operator reviews the data on the WinSCAN monitor, and classifies the nucleated cells as nRBC or WBC based on stain and nuclear characteristics. Identification parameters include light adsorption, size and shape.
Automatic relocation, capture and archiving of the cell images are performed by the instrument based upon operator selection. The instrument also can be used in the manual mode to systematically scan a slide and examine each field.
The WinSCAN System consists of the following components:
- Intel-based PC with Windows operating system .
- Monitor, kevboard, mouse .
- Switchstick control unit t
- Color printer for images and texts .
- Microscope with brightfield capability and 10x, 20x, 40x and 50x . objectives
- Set of transmission and excitation filters .
- Camera and image acquisition board t
- Motorized devices: stage, filter wheels, focus drive 0
- Motor controller unit and manual controls .
The Intel-based PC operates the instrument through the software program that coordinates control of the automated microscope. The base operating system of the PC consists of MicroSoft Windows 3.1 and DOS version 6.0. When the WinSCAN icon is selected from the Program Manager, WinSCAN software is downloaded and operation of the system can begin. The WinSCAN program includes all facilities to scan, relocate, and acquire images from a microscope slide. The WinSCAN software also performs image acquisition and scan functions, as well as archiving and relocation of images and facilitates operator review of cells. Classification of cells is performed by the operator.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Results of studies demonstrate that WinSCAN is an effective tool that aids the operator in locating and classifying nucleated cells. The test results demonstrate that the WinSCAN is able to scan slides prepared from peripheral blood and aid the operator in locating white blood cells and nucleated red blood cells. When compared to the standard manual microscope method, the correlation coefficient is >= 0.98. Additionally, precision testing using replicate counts of 30 samples demonstrates that WinSCAN performs in a repeatable manner, with a mean coefficient of variation of 24% - 26% over multiple samples, instruments and operators, as compared to 23% CV% precision demonstrated by manual microscopy.

Unlike the Micro 21 system, the WinSCAN system includes a manual microscope that allows the user to view slides manually for verification. Both systems can relocate a cell or object on a slide, even upon its removal and replacement.
Testing
Results of studies demonstrate that WinSCAN is an effective tool that aids the operator in locating and classifying nucleated cells. The test results demonstrate that the WinSCAN is able to scan slides prepared from peripheral blood and aid the operator in locating white blood cells and nucleated red blood cells. When compared to the standard manual microscope method, the correlation coefficient is >/= 0.98. Additionally, precision testing using replicate counts of 30 samples demonstrates that WinSCAN performs in a repeatable manner, with a mean coefficient of variation of 24% - 26% over multiple samples, instruments and operators, as compared to 23% CV% precision demonstrated by manual microscopy.
Conclusion
The WinSCAN instrument is substantially equivalent to the Micro 21 system. Both instruments can automatically scan a slide for nucleated cells, both instruments allow for operator review, and both instruments allow for viewing images on a computer monitor. Unlike the Micro 21, WinSCAN includes a manual microscope that the user can use to view nucleated cells on a slide manually for verification.
Both systems can relocate a cell or object on a slide, even upon its removal and replacement. Both systems require operator interaction for cell classification and for the enumeration of nRBCs/100 WBCs.
