## Indications for Use

The Sysmex® XS is an automated hematology analyzer for in vitro diagnostic use in clinical laboratories.

## Device Story

Sysmex XS is an automated hematology analyzer for clinical laboratory use. It processes peripheral blood samples collected in EDTA anticoagulant. The device utilizes sheath flow DC detection, flow cytometry with a semiconductor laser, and SLS-hemoglobin methodology to analyze blood components. It provides automated hematology test results to assist clinicians in diagnostic assessments. The system is operated by laboratory personnel. It serves as a diagnostic tool to provide accurate and precise hematological parameters, aiding in the evaluation of patient blood profiles.

## Clinical Evidence

Clinical performance was established through comparative studies against the predicate Sysmex XE-2100 and XT-Series analyzers. Results demonstrated excellent correlation between the XS and the predicate devices for hematology parameters. No specific sensitivity, specificity, or AUC metrics were provided in the summary document.

## Technological Characteristics

Automated hematology analyzer. Methods: Sheath Flow DC detection (RBC/PLT), semiconductor laser flow cytometry (WBC), SLS-hemoglobin (HGB). Connectivity: IPU interface. Software: Moderate Level of Concern. Modes: Sampler, Capillary, Manual.

## Regulatory 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.

## Special Controls

*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.”

# 510(k) SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE DETERMINATION DECISION SUMMARY INSTRUMENT ONLY TEMPLATE

A. 510(k) Number: K060656
B. Purpose for Submission: Traditional 510(k)
C. Manufacturer and Instrument Name: Sysmex America, Inc. Sysmex® XS Automated Hematology Analyzer series (XS-100i and XS-800i).
D. Type of Test or Tests Performed: 21 Complete Blood Count analysis parameters in whole blood.

E. System Descriptions:

1. Device Description: The XS is an automated hematology analyzer which consists of three principal units: (1) Main unit which aspirates, dilutes, mixes and analyzes which blood samples; (2) Auto Loader on the XS-1000i that 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 XS-1000i and XS-800i are the same instruments except that the XS-1000i has the ability to install an auto loader and the XS-800i uses a manual mode only.

2. Principles of Operation: The XS performs hematology analyses using the following methods: Sheath Flow DC Detection Method, Flow Cytometry Methods using a Semiconductor Laser and SLS-hemoglobin method. Blood cells pass through the aperture of the detector surrounded by a sheath fluid using the sheath flow method. The principle of flow cytometry is also used. A semiconductor laser beam is emitted to the blood cells passing through the flow cell. The forward scattered light is received by the photodiode, and the lateral scattered light and lateral fluorescent light are received by the photo multiplier tube. This light is converted into electrical pulses, thus making it possible to obtain blood cell information. Hemoglobin is measured with the SLS-hemoglobin method using Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, which is an analysis method used in previous Sysmex instrumentation.

3. Modes of Operation: Sampler Mode, Capillary Mode, and Manual Mode with XS-1000i and Manual Mode and Capillary Mode with XS-800i.

4. Specimen Identification: Barcode only with XS-1000i when Sampler is connected.

5. Specimen Sampling and Handling: Sampler Mode, Capillary Mode, and Manual Mode with XS-1000i and Manual Mode and Capillary Mode with XS-800i.
