## Indications for Use

The Beckman-Coulter Body Fluid Control is a hematology quality control material used to monitor the performance and verify the measuring range of the body fluid cycle of the UniCel® DxH 800 COULTER Cellular Analysis System.

## Device Story

Body Fluid Control is a reference product consisting of treated, stabilized human erythrocytes in an isotonic medium, with a platelet-sized component and fixed erythrocytes to simulate leukocytes. It is used in clinical laboratories to monitor the accuracy and precision of the UniCel® DxH 800 COULTER Cellular Analysis System during body fluid cycle counting. By comparing instrument measurements against assigned values and expected ranges provided in the product documentation, laboratory personnel verify the system's performance and measurable range. The control helps ensure the reliability of hematology analysis, ultimately supporting accurate clinical decision-making for patient samples processed on the analyzer.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Stability studies were conducted to support claims of 18 events within 16 days for open vials and 120 days for closed vials. No clinical data was required or presented.

## Technological Characteristics

Reference material composed of treated, stabilized human erythrocytes in an isotonic medium, including a platelet-sized component and fixed erythrocytes to simulate leukocytes. Designed for use with the UniCel® DxH 800 COULTER Cellular Analysis System. No specific ASTM standards or software algorithms are described for the control material itself.

## Regulatory Identification

A hematology quality control mixture is a device used to ascertain the accuracy and precision of manual, semiautomated, and automated determinations of cell parameters such as white cell count (WBC), red cell count (RBC), platelet count (PLT), hemoglobin, hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC).

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). Except when intended for use in blood components, the device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 864.9.

## Predicate Devices

- COULTER® 5C® Cell Control ([K912133](/device/K912133.md), [K060464](/device/K060464.md))
