Indications for Use

Automated scanning microscopy work station for histological identification of the enzyme leucocyte alkaline phosphatase in neutrophilic granulocytes to differentiate: Granulocytic leukemia, a malignant disease characterized by excessive overgrowth of granulocytes in bone marrow, and Reactions that resemble true leukemia, such as those occurring in severe infections.

Device Story

MDx 2000 Digital Analyzer is an automated microscopy workstation for identifying leucocyte alkaline phosphatase in neutrophilic granulocytes. Input: blood smear slides stained with FAST VIOLET B SALT reagent. Operation: automated slide handling, scanning, and focusing; colorimetric pattern recognition software analyzes cell size, shape, hue, and intensity. Output: automated cell identification and scoring of enzyme activity. Used in clinical laboratories by healthcare professionals. System includes microscope, computer, color monitors, keyboard, and printer. Output assists clinicians in differentiating chronic granulocytic leukemia from leukemoid reactions and other myeloproliferative diseases. Benefits include reduced between-technologist variability and improved consistency in NAP measurements compared to manual methods.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical trials conducted at three sites using 125 patient samples compared the MDx 2000 to manual methods. Study design included double-blind examination of stained smears by medical technologists. Primary endpoints included analytical performance, accuracy, and precision. Results showed the device provided consistent NAP measurements and eliminated significant between-technologist variability observed in manual methods. Accuracy was assessed via linear regression against manual counts; while one site showed negative bias, it was consistent and correctable via reference range adjustment. No non-clinical bench testing was submitted.

A brief discussion of the results and conclusions of the performance of naphthol as phosphate as a reagent in the cytochemical demonstration of alkaline phosphatase activity on thin smears of human blood is first discussed. This discussion is followed by a brief discussion of the results and conclusions from clinical trials conducted: ### 1. Referenced literature: *Cytochemistry of Leukocyte Alkaline Phosphatase; Use of Complex Naphthol as Phosphates in Azo Dye-Coupling Technics.* Leonard S. Kaplow, M.D. With the technical assistance of Mrs. Charlotte Ladd, M.T. (ASCP) Department of Pathology, Medical College of Virginia The American Journal of Clinical Pathology Vol. 39, No. 5, pp. 439-449, May 1963 ### Summary: Upon preparation of blood smear slides as described in the literature, examination of negative and positive controls at 100X magnification disclosed the theoretical sites of enzyme activity were represented by distinct pink granulations varying in color from very pale pink to a brilliant ruby red. The precipitation took the form of minute dots or larger granules or rod shaped structures. The contrast of the red cytoplasm with the blue-black nuclei was striking. Localization appeared far more precise, although similar in pattern, than that seen with older technics. A scoring procedure was established from ratings from zero {4} XL7.9 5 of 8 C5 # Appendix C ## 510(k) Summary of Substantial Equivalence ## MicroVision Medical Systems, Inc. ## (MDₓ 2000 Digital Analyzer) to 4+ on the basis of quantity and intensity of precipitated dye within the cytoplasm of the cells. The sum of the reading of 100 observed cells was regarded as the "score" for a given blood smear. The ratings were based on the number, size, and intensity of staining of the granules. ## Conclusion: The value of assessing leukocyte alkaline phosphatase activity as an aid in the diagnosis of certain hematologic diseases is now well established. Such assessment is particularly valuable in distinguishing chronic granulocytic leukemia from leukemoid reactions and from other myeloproliferative diseases as well as in distinguishing polycythemia vera from secondary polycythemia. Cytochemical technics are suitable staining methods and have been used in many laboratories as routine procedures. By means of these staining methods and in conjunction with a "scoring" procedure, it is possible to obtain a numerical representation of the degree of enzyme activity of leukocytes on a given blood smear and thus to compare enzyme activity disease states with the normal. ## 2. Clinical trials: * Description of clinical sites and devices used: The results of clinical trials were used to obtain data to compare the analytical performance, accuracy, and precision of the MDₓ 2000 candidate device to that of the predicate devices. The clinical trials were conducted in accordance with a written MicroVision Medical Systems, Inc. protocol and were conducted on a model MDₓ 2000 device (three different devices; not the same device) at three different sites. * Description of the scientific methods used: The following characteristics of the clinical trials {5} XL7.9 6 of 8 C6 # Appendix C ## 510(k) Summary of Substantial Equivalence ## MicroVision Medical Systems, Inc. ## (MDₓ 2000 Digital Analyzer) conducted were carefully selected to help ensure the clinical trials were objective and statistically valid: - The number of clinical sites - The quantity of patient samples per site - The quantity of stained smears examined - The number of times a smear stained slide was examined - The number of qualified medical technologists examining the slides - The design of the double blind study - The number of times the same "control" slide(s) was run on each of the three devices to determine the expected value for each "control" slide - The number of times the same "control" slide(s) was run on each of the three devices to establish the standard deviation of the neutrophil alkaline phosphatase (NAP) - Running the "control" slide(s) on each device at the beginning and end of each daily run on each of the three MDₓ 2000 candidate devices to evaluate the consistency of the devices ### * Methods of statistical analysis: Statistical analyses of the data included: - The use of parametric and/or non-parametric statistical methods to analyze the data - Pooling/combining data from the three clinical sites only if statistically justified based on equivalent results {6} XL7.9 7 of 8 C7 # Appendix C ## 510(k) Summary of Substantial Equivalence ## MicroVision Medical Systems, Inc. ## (MDₓ 2000 Digital Analyzer) - Assessment of bias (accuracy) and imprecision as generally described in the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) documents EP9-A and EP5-T - Bias of the MDₓ 2000 candidate device compared with the predicate devices was based on the use of linear regression comparison of the averages of the devices versus the average manual count. - Statistical assessment of the estimated bias using the appropriate t-test. - Analysis of variance of the data to estimate the variance contributions of the technologists, slides, replication, and other variables. ## 21 CFR 807.92(b)(3) The conclusion drawn from the non-clinical and/or clinical tests that demonstrate the MDₓ 2000 candidate device is as safe, is as effective, and performs as well or better than the predicate devices: The MDₓ 2000 Digital Analyzer candidate device was found to provide neurophilic alkaline phosphatase (NAP) measurements that had similar precision within site over 125 patients tested at 3 clinical sites. Use of the candidate device provided more between-site consistency in reported results than that for the comparative Sigma NAP kit manual method, and eliminated the considerable between-technologist variability that occurred at each of the study sites. The accuracy of the MDₓ 2000 Digital Analyzer candidate device data was assessed by method comparison linear regression against the manual method. At two study sites, the results were directly comparable with little clinical bias between the two methods. At one of the study sites, there was considerable negative bias of the candidate device against the manual method, but this was consistent and characterizable, and is assumed to be removable by adjustment (calibration) of the local reference range. {7} XL7.9 8 of 8 C8 # Appendix C ## 510(k) Summary of Substantial Equivalence ## MicroVision Medical Systems, Inc. ## (MDₓ 2000 Digital Analyzer) The candidate device was proved comparable to the candidate devices at the other sites by cross-validation with control slides. The difference in bias relationship at the different sites was not unanticipated, based on the labeling of the Sigma Diagnostics predicate device/kit and the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards publication H-22P, Histological Method for Leukocyte Alkaline Phosphatase, that warn of considerable subjective differences in technologist and site expected values. ...
