Regulatory Classification
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.

E. System Descriptions:
1. Device Description:
The Sysmex XE-5000 is part of The XE-Series instrument line. It is a multi-parameter hematology analyzer intended to perform tests in anticoagulated blood and body fluids. The instrument consists of three principal units: (1) Main Unit which aspirates dilutes, mixes and analyzed blood and body fluid simples; (2) Auto Sampler Units supplies samples to the Main Unit automatically; (3) IPU (Information Processing Unit) which processes data from the Main Unit and provides the operator interface with the system. The XE-5000 is equipped with a Sampler that provides continuous automated sampling for up to 100 tubes.
2. Principles of Operation:
The Sysmex XE-5000 performs analyses using the following methods: RF/DC Detection Method, Sheath Flow DC Detection Method, and Flow Cytometry Methods using a Semiconductor Laser. Particle characterization and identification is based on detection of forward scatter, fluorescence and adaptive cluster analysis. Using the same reagents as the XE-2100, the XE-5000 automatically classifies cells from blood and body fluids and carries out all processes automatically from aspiration of the sample to outputting the results.
{1}
The body fluid mode analysis mode of the XE-5000 uses the 4DIFF scattergram and the RBC distribution obtained from a specialized analysis sequence to calculate and display the WBC (WBC-BF) counts, mononuclear cell (MN)/polymorphonuclear cell (PMN) counts and percentages, TC-BF (Total Count) and RBC (RBC-BF) counts found in the body fluid.
Analysis results and graphics are displayed on the IPU screen. They can be printed on any of the available printers or transmitted to a Host computer.
3. Modes of Operation:
Manual, Capillary, Sampler (Automatic), Manual Closed
4. Specimen Identification:
Specimen information is managed by four menu lists and specimen identification input is manual (by operator) or by barcode reader.
5. Specimen Sampling and Handling:
There are three modes of specimen sampling: Manual, Capillary, Sampler (Automatic) and Manual Closed:
Venous blood is mixed with anticoagulant (EDTA 2K, EDTA-3K or EDTA-Na). Analyze samples within four hours of collection. If it is not possible to analyzed within four hours samples are refrigerated at 2-8oC until they can be analyzed.
Capillary blood samples are placed directly into diluent to dilute them. No anticoagulant is used. Alternatively, samples are collected in a microcollection system, anticoagulant added and then diluted.
6. Calibration:
The manufacturer's instructions are to be followed for materials and frequency of calibration. Following installation calibration, it is requested to verify instrument calibration every six months or on an "as needed" basis, and maintain good QC practices, to ensure the accuracy of the system.
7. Quality Control:
The XE-5000 uses a specific control material the e-Check (XE) control.
8. Software:
The role of the software on the XE-2100DC Analyzer is to operate the instrument in order to analyze whole blood samples, and to way to store and review data.

One of the software programs allows the user to set user-definable flags according to their laboratory protocol. The XE IPU PIM (Patient Information Manager) software analyzes the data and works in conjunction with the Windows 2000 operating system, which serves as an administrative function.

WBC-D on Whole Blood Mode
Seventy-one samples were analyzed to compare the WBC-D on the XE-5000 to the XE-2100. The expected result (±5.0%) is based on samples with WBC counts >4.0×10³/uL. The results are as follows:
Accuracy of WBC-D on XE-5000 vs. XE-2100 Auto Mode

b. Precision/Reproducibility:
Within run precision was performed on using CSF, Synovial and Serous fluid types assayed 10 consecutive times and covered the whole measuring range for the WBC and RBC parameters. In addition, a precision study was performed (10 consecutive replicates on several samples) to show that the differential parameters of the Capillary Mode of the XE-5000 met the performance specifications at specific mean values for each of the differential parameters. Results for all studies were within manufacturer specifications.
A precision was also performed to show that the WBC-D parameter (Whole Blood Mode) met the performance specifications at specific normal mean value (WBC ≥ 4.0 × 10³/μL). Within run precision data was collected and ten consecutive replicates on three normal samples were analyzed on the XE-5000. Performance was within performance specifications.
c. Linearity:
Linearity was performed on the WBC-BF, RBC-BF and TC-BF parameters by diluting samples with instrument diluent. Linearity was tested on the following:
| Parameter | XE-5000 Body Fluid Ranges |
| --- | --- |
| WBC-BF | 0.000 – 0.050 ×10³/μL (within ±0.010 × 10³/ μL)
0.050 – 10.000 ×10³/μL (≤20%) |
| RBC-BF | 0.000 – 5.000 ×10⁶/μL (≤2.0% or within ±0.020 × 10⁶/ μL) |
| TC-BF | 0.000 – 0.050 ×10³/μL (within ±0.010 × 10³/ μL)
0.050 – 10.000 ×10³/μL (≤20%) |

d. Carryover:
Carry-over effect was evaluated by assaying a sample with a high cell count three consecutive times followed immediately by testing a low count sample consecutively 3 times for WBC-BF, RBC-BF, TC-BF and WBC-DF (Whole Blood Mode). Types of fluid samples used were CSF, Serous, and Synovial. Performance met manufacturer's specifications for all parameters.
e. Interfering Substances:
Results may be compromised with clotted samples and synovial samples that contain uric acid crystals or have a high viscosity.
Samples results with Errors related to WBC-BF and RBC-BF parameters should not be used.
2. Other Supportive Instrument Performance Data Not Covered Above:
Stability on Whole Blood
Specimens used to determine sample stability were split into 2 aliquots--one room temperature (RT) (20-28°C) and the other at low temperature (LT) (4°C). The separate aliquots were stored at room temperature and low temperature respectively at baseline (immediately after blood collection), 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours.
Normal samples are stable up to 48 hours at room temperature (20-28°C) and at low temperature (4°C) for the following parameters: WBC, RBC, HGB, HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHC, PLT, Neut %, Lymph%, Mono%, Eosin% and Baso%.
