- **Review Panel:** Hematology

## Indications for Use

The HPC (hematopoietic progenitor cell) parameter of the IMI Channel on the Sysmex® SE-9500 and XE-2100 for in Vitro Diagnostics is used as a screen for the optimal presence of hematopoietic progenitor cells in peripheral blood and cord blood samples.

## Device Story

The HPC parameter is an add-on feature for Sysmex SE-9500 and XE-2100 automated hematology analyzers. It utilizes the Immature Myeloid Information (IMI) channel to identify and enumerate hematopoietic progenitor cells in peripheral blood and cord blood samples. The device processes EDTA-anticoagulated samples to provide a rapid (90-second) count, serving as an alternative to traditional, time-consuming Colony Forming Unit (CFU) assays or flow cytometry. It is intended for use by laboratory personnel in clinical settings. By providing a rapid, cost-effective screen for progenitor cell presence, the device assists clinicians in optimizing stem cell harvest and cord blood collection workflows, offering a faster turnaround time compared to the 14-day CFU reference method.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance was evaluated by comparing the HPC parameter results to the CFU reference method and flow cytometry CD34+ enumeration. Results demonstrated good correlation with the CFU reference method across peripheral blood, apheresis products, and cord blood samples.

## Technological Characteristics

The device is an automated hematology analyzer feature using the IMI channel for cell counting. It requires specific software/hardware integration on the Sysmex SE-9500 and XE-2100 platforms. It processes EDTA-anticoagulated blood samples. The sensing principle is based on automated hematology analysis (IMI channel).

## 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.”

## Predicate Devices

- Colony Forming Unit (CFU) method (pre-1976)
- Total Nucleated Count (TNC) method (pre-1976)

## Reference Devices

- Flow Cytometry CD34+ enumeration

Dear Ms. Gamperling:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4588. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html".
