Intended Use
The CELL-DYN 3500 and the CELL-DYN 3700 Systems are automated, multi-parameter hematology analyzers intended to classify the following formed elements of EDTA anticoagulated blood including: White Blood Cell Parameters: WBC -- White Blood Cell or Leukocyte Count, NEU -- Neutrophil Absolute Count, %N -- Neutrophil Percent, LYM -- Lymphocyte Absolute Count, %L -- Lymphocyte Percent, MONO -- Monocyte Absolute Count, %M -- Monocyte Percent, EOS -- Eosinophil Absolute Count, %E -- Eosinophil Percent, BASO -- Basophil Absolute Count, %B -- Basophil Percent; Red Blood Cell Parameters: RBC -- Red Blood Cell or Erythrocyte Count, HCT -- Hematocrit, MCV -- Mean Corpuscular Volume, RDW -- Red Cell Distribution Width; Hemoglobin Parameters: HGB -- Hemoglobin Concentration, MCH -- Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin, MCHC -- Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration; Platelet Parameters: PLT -- Platelet Count, MPV -- Mean Platelet Volume, *PDW -- Platelet Distribution Width, *PCT -- Plateletcrit; Reticulocyte Parameters: RETC -- Reticulocyte Concentration, %R -- Reticulocyte Percent of RBC Count, IRF -- Immature Reticulocyte Fraction. * These parameters are provided for laboratory use only and are not reportable in the US.
Device Description
The CELL-DYN 3500 and the CELL-DYN 3700 Systems have four main modules: 1) the Analyzer, which aspirates, dilutes and analyzes each whole blood specimen 2) the Sample Loader, which automatically identifies, mixes, and presents specimens for processing 3) the Data Station, which controls all system processing and provides the primary operator interface with the system and; 4) the Color Printer, which generates reports automatically or on demand. The analyzer counts, sizes and classifies blood cells by the combination of methods: Laser Optical Light Scatter, Impedance, and Absorption Spectrophotometry. The IRF is derived from the data measured for the Reticulocyte parameters. The CELL-DYN 3500 and the CELL-DYN 3700 Systems use a Helium-Neon laser as the optical light source. The Optical Bench detects light in the form of scatter from blood cell surfaces and internal structures. For the reticulocyte parameters, an off-line dilution of blood and Reticulocyte Reagent is prepared and stained for 15 minutes. The dilution is aspirated and the reticulocytes are counted in the WOC channel. Data are collected for scatter (0°, 10°, and 90°) as each cell passes through the laser beam. The CELL-DYN 3500 and the CELL-DYN 3700 Systems report Reticulocyte % and Absolute Count. The IRF is a fraction of the total reticulocyte absolute count. The CELL-DYN 3500 and the CELL-DYN 3700 Systems are designed to analyze EDTA-anticoagulated whole blood specimens and report the additional Immature Reticulocyte Parameter.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the device is an "automated, multi-parameter hematology analyzer intended to classify the following formed elements of EDTA anticoagulated blood". This means it analyzes blood samples in vitro (outside the body) to provide diagnostic information about the composition of the blood.
  • Device Description: The description details how the device aspirates, dilutes, and analyzes whole blood specimens using methods like Laser Optical Light Scatter, Impedance, and Absorption Spectrophotometry. These are all techniques used to analyze biological samples in vitro.
  • Sample Type: The device is designed to analyze "EDTA anticoagulated blood specimens", which are biological samples collected from a patient for in vitro analysis.
  • Intended User / Care Setting: The intended user is "Laboratory use", which is a typical setting for performing in vitro diagnostic tests.

The core function of the device is to analyze biological samples (blood) outside the body to provide information about a patient's health status, which is the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

CELL-DYN 3500 System and the CELL-DYN 3700 System with Immature Reticulocyte Fraction (IRF)

Device Description (cont'd):

The analyzer counts, sizes and classifies blood cells by the combination of methods: Laser Optical Light Scatter, Impedance, and Absorption Spectrophotometry. The IRF is derived from the data measured for the Reticulocyte parameters. The CELL-DYN 3500 and the CELL-DYN 3700 Systems use a Helium-Neon laser as the optical light source. The Optical Bench detects light in the form of scatter from blood cell surfaces and internal structures.

For the reticulocyte parameters, an off-line dilution of blood and Reticulocyte Reagent is prepared and stained for 15 minutes. The dilution is aspirated and the reticulocytes are counted in the WOC channel. Data are collected for scatter (0°, 10°, and 90°) as each cell passes through the laser beam.

The CELL-DYN 3500 and the CELL-DYN 3700 Systems report Reticulocyte % and Absolute Count. The IRF is a fraction of the total reticulocyte absolute count. The CELL-DYN 3500 and the CELL-DYN 3700 Systems are designed to analyze EDTA-anticoagulated whole blood specimens and report the additional Immature Reticulocyte Parameter.

Similarities and Differences:

The CELL-DYN 3500 and the CELL-DYN 3700 Systems with IRF, and the CELL-DYN 4000 System are similar in that the systems use impedance for counting and sizing RBCs. The Reticulocyte Reagent enables both the CELL-DYN 3500 and the CELL-DYN 3700 Systems with IRF and the CELL-DYN 4000 System to count and classify mature and immature reticulocytes. The CELL-DYN 3500 and the CELL-DYN 3700 Systems with IRF and the CELL-DYN 4000 System with IRF, enumerate reticulocytes in EDTA-anticoagulated whole blood using optical laser scatter. They are different in that CELL-DYN 3500 and the CELL-DYN 3700 Systems with IRF specimens are externally stained in an off-line preparation step with New Methylene Blue while the CELL-DYN 4000 System with IRF automatically dilutes the specimen with a fast acting proprietary dye that requires no incubation prior to measurement.
