Recall Z-0255-2013— Sysmex America, Inc.
Class II · Terminated
Class II FDA medical device recall by Sysmex America, Inc., initiated 2012-06-01, terminated 2016-08-22. It names one FDA 510(k) clearance: K071967. Product: Sysmex XE-5000 Automated Hematology System; an automated differential cell counter; Sysmex Corporation, Kobe, Japan; Sysmex America, One Nelson C. White Parkway, Mundelein, IL 60060; catalog #063-7591-7 The Sysmex XE-5000 is an automated hematology analyzer for in vitro diagnostic use in screening patient populations found in clinical laboratories. The XE-5000 performs analyses using the following methods: RF/DC Detection Method, Sheath Row DC Detection Method, and Flow Cytometry Methods using a Semiconductor Laser. Particle characterization and identification is based on detection of forward scatter, fluorescence and adaptive cluster analysis. Using the same reagents as the XE-2100, the XE-5000 automatically classifies cells from blood and body fluids and carries out all processes automatically from aspiration of the sample to outputting the results.. Reason: There is a variation of reticulocyte counts between XE Series (XE-2100, XE-5000) and XT-Series (XT-2000i, XT-4000i) hematology analyzers that may result in a retic counts that are an average of 21% lower on the XE-Series because of a low bias..
