No
The document describes a standard automated blood cell counter and does not mention any AI or ML components or capabilities.

No.
The device is described as an automated cell counter for in vitro diagnostic use, which means it analyzes samples outside of a living organism for diagnostic purposes, not for treating a condition.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is "for in vitro diagnostic use in clinical laboratories."

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "automated blood cell counter," which is a hardware device. The summary also describes performance studies comparing it to predicate hardware devices.

Yes, the Sysmex KX-21 is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

This is explicitly stated in both the "Intended Use / Indications for Use" and the "Device Description" sections:

  • Intended Use / Indications for Use: "The intended use of the Sysmex KX-21 is as an automated cell counter for in vitro diagnostic use in clinical laboratories."

Summary of Performance Studies

Correlation studies were performed to demonstrate that the performance claims of the proposed device are similar to the predicate device, the K-1000. Specimens were evaluated from apparently healthy individuals and from patients with different pathological conditions. The study included 194 samples for WBC, 195 for RBC, HGB, HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHC, 193 for Platelet, 150 for Lymph%, Mixed%, Neut%, 198 for RDW-SD, and 179 for MPV. Key results include correlation coefficients (r) for various parameters: WBC (0.990), RBC (0.996), HGB (0.997), HCT (0.996), MCV (0.997), MCH (0.967), MCHC (0.829), Platelet (0.996), Lymph% (0.995), Mixed% (0.874), Neut% (0.984), RDW-SD (0.976), and MPV (0.961).

§ 864.5200 Automated cell counter.

(a)
Identification. An automated cell counter is a fully-automated or semi-automated device used to count red blood cells, white blood cells, or blood platelets using a sample of the patient's peripheral blood (blood circulating in one of the body's extremities, such as the arm). These devices may also measure hemoglobin or hematocrit and may also calculate or measure one or more of the red cell indices (the erythrocyte mean corpuscular volume, the mean corpuscular hemoglobin, or the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration). These devices may use either an electronic particle counting method or an optical counting method.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

The Sysmex™ KX-21 is substantially equivalent in intended use and technological characteristics to the Sysmex™ K-1000. The KX-21 is an automated blood cell counter intended for in vitro diagnostic use in clinical laboratories.

As demonstrated by correlation studies, the performance claims of the proposed device are similar to the predicate device, the K-1000. During these studies, specimens were evaluated from apparently healthy individuals and from patients with different pathological conditions which are expected to affect the results for particular parameters. The following table shows the results of the correlation studies between the proposed and the predicate device.
