Indications for Use
The Sysmex XN-L analyzer is a quantitative multi-parameter automated hematology analyzer intended for in vitro diagnostic use in screening patient populations found in clinical laboratories. The XN-L analyzer classifies and enumerates the following parameters in venous and capillary whole blood: WBC, RBC, HGB, HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHC, PLT, NEUT%/#, LYMPH%/#, MONO%/#, EO%/#, BASO%/#, IG%/#, RDW-CV, RDW-SD, MPV, RET%/#, IRF, RET-He and has a Body Fluid mode for body fluids. The Body Fluid mode enumerates the WBC-BF, RBC-BF, MN%/#, PMN%/#, and TC-BF# parameters in cerebrospinal, peritoneal, pleural, and synovial fluids. Whole blood should be collected in K2 or K3EDTA anticoagulant and peritoneal, pleural, and synovial fluids in K2EDTA anticoagulant to prevent clotting of fluid. The use of anticoagulants with CSF specimens is neither required nor recommended.
Device Story
Quantitative multi-parameter automated hematology analyzer; processes venous/capillary whole blood and body fluids (CSF, peritoneal, pleural, synovial). Uses electrical impedance, laser light scattering, and fluorescent labeling; performs DC sheath flow detection, flow cytometry (semiconductor laser), and SLS-hemoglobin method. Main unit aspirates, dilutes, mixes, and analyzes samples; pneumatic unit provides pressure/vacuum. External touchscreen monitor used for operation and data processing. Used in clinical laboratories by trained personnel. Automatically classifies cells from aspiration to result output.

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.
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.”

B. Purpose for Submission:
Expand Intended Use to include pediatric subjects under the age of 2 years old.
C. Manufacturer and Instrument Name:
Sysmex America Inc., Sysmex® XN-L Automated Hematology Analyzer
D. Type of Test or Tests Performed:
The Sysmex XN-L Automated Hematology Analyzer (hereafter, the XN-L analyzer) classifies and enumerates the following parameters in whole blood: WBC, RBC, HGB, HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHC, PLT, NEUT%/#, LYMPH%/#, MONO%/#, EO%/#, BASO%/#, IG%/#, RDW-CV, RDW-SD, MPV, RET%/#, IRF, RET-He and has a Body Fluid mode for body fluids. The Body Fluid mode enumerates the WBC-BF, RBC-BF, MN%/#, PMN%/#, and TC-BF# parameters in cerebrospinal (CSF), peritoneal, pleural and synovial fluids.
E. System Descriptions:
1. Device Description:
The XN-L analyzer is a quantitative multi-parameter automated differential cell counter that classifies and enumerates whole blood and body fluid parameters by means of electrical impedance, laser light scattering, and fluorescent labeling. Cell counts and parameters are performed on whole blood samples collected in K₂EDTA or K₃EDTA anticoagulant, body fluids (peritoneal, pleural and synovial) collected in K₂EDTA anticoagulant and CSF collected without anticoagulant. The instrument consists of two principal units: (1) the Main Unit which will aspirate, dilute, mix, and analyze whole blood and body fluid samples and (2) the Pneumatic Unit which supplies pressure and vacuum to the analyzer.
The XN-L analyzer has an external monitor with touch screen capability that is used to operate the instrument and process data from the Main Unit. The monitor also allows for operator interfacing with the instrument by use of a panel keyboard.
2. Principles of Operation:
The XN-L analyzer analyzes samples using the following methods: DC Sheath Flow Detection method, Flow Cytometry method using a semiconductor laser, and SLS (cyanide-free sodium lauryl sulfate) hemoglobin method. Particle characterization and identification is based on detection of forward scatter, fluorescence, and adaptive cluster analysis. The XN-L analyzer automatically classifies cells from whole blood and body
{1}
fluids and carries out all processes automatically from aspiration of the sample to result output.
3. **Modes of Operation:**
- Does the applicant’s device contain the ability to transmit data to a computer, webserver, or mobile device?
- Yes ☐ X or No ☐
- Does the applicant’s device transmit data to a computer, webserver, or mobile device using wireless transmission?
- Yes ☐ or No ☐ X
4. **Specimen Identification:**
Specimen identification input is manual (by operator) or by barcode reader.
5. **Specimen Sampling and Handling:**
There are two modes of sample introduction: (1) Sampler Mode; (2) Manual Mode. In the Sampler Mode the operator loads the sample tubes into a rack, which is then automatically transported and analyzed by the instrument. This mode automatically mixes, aspirates, and analyzes samples without removing their caps. The Sampler Mode is used for processing of whole blood samples. In the Manual Mode, there are two sample tube holders: (1) Normal sample tube holder; (2) Micro collection tube holder. In this mode the operator loads and mixes the samples tubes individually by hand. The samples in the Manual Mode can be analyzed with the cap on or off. The Manual Mode is used for processing whole blood and body fluid samples.
6. **Calibration:**
The XN CAL calibrator (K160585) is used for calibration of the WBC, RBC, HGB, HCT, PLT and RET parameters. XN CAL is used for the calibration and calibration verification of Sysmex XN series (XN-10, XN-11, XN-20, XN-21, XN-L) analyzers. Calibration is performed as needed (e.g., when QC data is fluctuating) to ensure accuracy of the system.
7. **Quality Control:**
The XN-L CHECK (K160586) is used as quality control (three levels) for Sysmex XN-L analyzers. XN-L CHECK™ is an in-vitro diagnostic product that contains the following: stabilized red blood cell component(s), stabilized white blood cell component(s), and stabilized platelet component(s) in a preservative medium.
XN CHECK (K160590) is used as quality control (three levels) for Sysmex XN series (XN-10, XN-11, XN-20, XN-21, XN-L) analyzers.
