The ADVIA 120 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cell count is intended to provide an in vitro diagnostic, quantitative determination of blood cells in CSF specimens analyzed in the manual open tube mode. The ADVIA 120 provides leukocyte (WBC) and erythrocyte (RBC) counts along with both absolute and proportional counts for the WBC differential.
Device Story
The ADVIA 120 CSF method is an in vitro diagnostic system for analyzing CSF specimens. The process involves manual dilution of the CSF sample with a reformulated reagent that spheres and fixes cells; after a 4-minute incubation, the sample is aspirated into the ADVIA 120 Hematology System. The system uses laser optics to detect and enumerate cells based on light scatter and absorbance measurements. The device displays a scatter versus scatter versus absorbance cytogram and automatically calculates thresholds and results. It provides WBC, RBC, and WBC differential counts (Neut, Lymph, Mono, Eos, MN, PMN). The device is used in a laboratory setting by trained personnel. The output assists clinicians in evaluating CSF cell counts for diagnostic purposes.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing and performance validation of the revised reagent and software against the predicate method.
Technological Characteristics
The device utilizes laser optics for light scatter and absorbance measurements. It employs a reformulated reagent for isovolumetric cell sphering and fixation. The system operates via manual open tube mode. Software includes a specific key to enable CSF mode. It is an accessory/method update to the existing ADVIA 120 Hematology System.
Indications for Use
Indicated for in vitro diagnostic, quantitative determination of blood cells (WBC, RBC, and WBC differential) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens. Intended for laboratory use.
Regulatory Classification
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.

# SEP 1 1 2002
# 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
The following information provides data supporting a substantially equivalent determination between the revised ADVIA 120 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) method and the current ADVIA 120 CSF method (K003796).
## Intended Use
The ADVIA 120 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cell count is intended to provide an in vitro diagnostic, quantitative determination of blood cells in CSF specimens analyzed in the manual open tube mode. The ADVIA 120 provides leukocyte (WBC) and erythrocyte (RBC) counts along with both absolute and proportional counts for the WBC differential.
## Device Description
The revised ADVIA 120 CSF method consists of the following changes to the ADVIA 120 Hematology System.
- 1. A reformulated reagent that can be used to obtain CSF counts from a single optical channel of the ADVIA 120 system.
- 2. Revised software to calculate the cell counts.
- 3. A software key to selectively allow access to the CSF mode of the system software.
- 4. Control products to maintain quality control of the CSF method.
The following parameters are reported with the ADVIA 120 CSF method:
# White Blood Cell Parameters
WBC - white blood cell count
Neut - neutrophil count (percentage and absolute counts)
Lymph - lymphocyte count (percentage and absolute counts)
Mono - monocyte count (percentage and absolute counts)
Eos - eosinophil count (percentage and absolute counts)
MN - mononuclear count (percentage and absolute counts)
PMN -- polymorphonuclear count (percentage and absolute counts)
Red Blood Cell Parameters
RBC - red blood cell count
* For Laboratory Use Only (not reportable)
# Principles of Operation
The CSF sample is mixed by manual dilution with ADVIA 120 CSF Reagent which isovolumetrically spheres and fixes the cells. After a 4-minute incubation period, the prepared sample is then aspirated directly into the ADVIA 120 system. The cells are then detected and enumerated based on light scatter and absorbance measurements using the ADVIA 120 laser optics. A scatter versus scatter versus absorbance cytogram is displayed with the thresholds and results automatically calculated for each sample

# Similarities and Differences between the revised ADVIA 120 CSF Method and the ADVIA 120 CSF Predicate Method (K003796)
The following table provides similarities and differences between the revised ADVIA 120 CSF method and the predicate method.
| Similarities/Differences | Characteristic | Predicate<br>Method | Revised<br>Method |
|--------------------------|----------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Similarities | Intended Use | To provide a<br>quantitative<br>determination of blood<br>cells in CSF<br>specimens. | Same as predicate<br>method. |
| | Specimen<br>Analyzed | CSF collected in a<br>sterile specimen tube. | Same as predicate<br>method. |
| Differences | WBC Count | Automated dilution with<br>cell count performed in<br>the basophil channel of<br>the ADVIA 120. RBCs<br>are lysed in the<br>reaction. | Manual dilution<br>with cell counts<br>performed using<br>RBC optics. RBCs<br>are not lysed. |
| | RBC Count | Automated dilution with<br>cell count performed in<br>RBC/PIt channel of the<br>ADVIA 120. | Manual dilution<br>with cell counts<br>performed using<br>RBC optics. |
| | WBC Differential | Automated dilution with<br>cell count performed in<br>the peroxidase channel<br>of the ADVIA 120.<br>RBCs are lysed and<br>WBCs are<br>differentiated based on<br>morphology and<br>peroxidase activity. | Manual dilution<br>with cell performed<br>using RBC optics.<br>RBCs are not<br>lysed, and WBCs<br>are differentiated<br>based on<br>morphology only. |
# Conclusion
The test results included in this submission demonstrate that the revised ADVIA 120 CSF method meets the manufacturer's intended specifications and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
