## Indications for Use

The BC-3200 auto hematology analyzer is a quantitative, automated hematology analyzer and leukocyte differential counter to be used in clinical laboratories for In Vitro Diagnostic purpose. The intended use of BC-3200 Auto Hematology Analyzer is to identify the normal patient, with all normal system-generated parameters, and to flag or identify patient results that require additional studies.

## Device Story

The BC-3200 is an automated hematology analyzer for clinical laboratory use by trained professionals. It processes whole blood samples (closed vial or prediluted) using automated sampling, diluting, and mixing. It employs two measurement methods: the Coulter method for WBC, RBC, and PLT counting/sizing, and a colorimetric method for HGB concentration. The system generates 16 hematology parameters and three histograms. Results are compared against user-defined normal ranges; the device flags abnormal results (H/L) for further clinical review. This automated analysis assists clinicians in patient screening and identifying samples requiring manual differential or additional diagnostic studies.

## Clinical Evidence

No new clinical data was required for this submission. Analytical performance (accuracy, precision, linearity, carryover) was established under the previous clearance (k063407). The current submission focuses on software modifications to unmask four parameters (Mid%, Mid#, RDW, MPV) for QC reporting, supported by software validation and hazard analysis documentation.

## Technological Characteristics

Automated hematology analyzer; Coulter impedance principle for WBC, RBC, PLT; colorimetric method for HGB. Dimensions/form factor: benchtop. Connectivity: computer-controlled with data storage/review. Reagents: M-30 series (diluent, rinse, lyse, cleansers). Standards: IEC61010-1, IEC61010-2-101, ISO14971, EN 13640, EN 591, EN 375, EN 980, IEC 61326.

## 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

A. 510(k) Number:
k093394

E. System Descriptions:

1. Device Description:
The BC-3200 Auto Hematology Analyzer is a quantitative, automated hematology analyzer and leukocyte differential cell counter for In Vitro Diagnostic use in clinical laboratories. It consists of the analyzer, M-30 serial reagents (M-30D diluent, M-30CFL lyse, M-30R rinse, M-30E E-Z cleanser and M-30P probe cleanser), SC-CAL plus calibrators and BC-3D controls.
The BC-3200 Auto Hematology Analyzer is only to be used by trained medical professionals to identify the normal patient, with all normal system-generated parameters, and to flag or identify patient results that require additional studies. The analyzer provides analysis results of 16 parameter of human blood and three histograms.

2. Principles of Operation:
WBCs are counted and sized by the impedance method. This method is based on the measurement of changes in electrical resistance produced by a particle, which in this case is a blood cell suspended in a conductive diluent as it passes through an aperture of known dimensions. HGB is determined by the colorimetric method. RBCs and PLTs are counted by the impedance method also. In addition, for RBCs and PLTs, volumetric metering is used. An accurate cell count cannot be obtained unless the precise volume of diluted sample that passes through the aperture during the count cycle is known. The analyzer uses a volumetric metering unit to control the count cycle and to ensure that a precise volume of sample is analyzed for the measurement.

3. Modes of Operation:
Closed Vial Whole Blood Mode, Whole Blood Mode for venous blood, and Predilute Mode for capillary blood.

4. Specimen Identification:
Barcode or manual keyboard entry.

{1}

5. Specimen Sampling and Handling:
Samples are manually loaded into a sample compartment one at a time. The BC-3200 utilizes an automatic sampling and mixing device for sample processing. The Mindray calibrator is called SC-CAL PLUS.
