No
The description focuses on standard hematology analysis techniques (cytochemistry, impedance, light transmission) and mentions a microprocessor, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.
No
The device is described as an in vitro diagnostic hematology analyzer used for testing whole blood specimens, which does not involve treating or actively affecting a patient's condition.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "The ABX PENTRA 60™ Hematology Analyzer is a fully automated... hematology analyzer used for the in vitro diagnostic testing of whole blood specimens." This directly indicates its use for diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "benchtop, clinical laboratory instrument" that uses physical principles like impedance and light transmission, indicating it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only device.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "The ABX PENTRA 60™ Hematology Analyzer is a fully automated (microprocessor controlled) hematology analyzer used for the in vitro diagnostic testing of whole blood specimens."
This statement clearly indicates that the device is intended for diagnostic testing performed on biological samples (whole blood) outside of the body (in vitro).

Summary of Performance Studies
The determination of substantial equivalence is based on an assessment on performance data on various hematological indices using human blood samples processed in the ABX PENTRA 60™ Hematology Analyzer and in the VEGA Hematology Analyzer. The human blood samples included 105 clinical specimens from patients having a normal complete blood count and 104 from patients having at least one parameter outside the normal range. Clinical samples were also used to evaluate sample stability.
Assay linearity/sensitivity and carry-over were evaluated using commercially available low range and high (full) range specimens. Within-run, between-run, and between-day precision were evaluated using three commercially available control specimens having leukocvtes, erythrocvtes, platelets, and hemoglobin the low, normal and high range.
Performance data on various hematological parameters comparing the ABX PENTRA 60TM Hematology Analyzer and the VEGA Hematology Analyzer, assay linearity/sensitivity and carry-over studies and within-run, between run, and between-day precision studies indicate that the ABX PENTRA 60™ is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

§ 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.”

Comparison to Predicate Devices:
The ABX PENTRA 60™ Hematology Analyzer is substantially equivalent to the already cleared device with respect to the indications for use, the hematological parameters for complete blood count and differential leucocyte count, and the principles of operation. It is different with respect to those modifications in hardware (mechanical and pneumatic) necessary to downsize the instrument, the added feature of pre-heated reagent block chambers, reduced specimen volume using a multi-distribution sampling system (MDSS), and slight changes in the reagents and the dilution ratios. The overall effect of these modifications on the safety and efficacy of the device have been evaluated in a clinical study. Software changes have been made to address the modifications and the new software has been validated.
Discussion of Performance Data:
The determination of substantial equivalence is based on an assessment on performance data on various hematological indices using human blood samples processed in the ABX PENTRA 60™ Hematology Analyzer and in the VEGA Hematology Analyzer. The human blood samples included 105 clinical specimens from patients having a normal complete blood count and 104 from patients having at least one parameter outside the normal range. Clinical samples were also used to evaluate sample stability.
Assay linearity/sensitivity and carry-over were evaluated using commercially available low range and high (full) range specimens. Within-run, between-run, and between-day precision were evaluated using three commercially available control specimens having leukocvtes, erythrocvtes, platelets, and hemoglobin the low, normal and high range.
Conclusions:
Performance data on various hematological parameters comparing the ABX PENTRA 60TM Hematology Analyzer and the VEGA Hematology Analyzer, assay linearity/sensitivity and carry-over studies and within-run, between run, and between-day precision studies indicate that the ABX PENTRA 60™ is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
