Intended Use

CellaVision DC-1 is an automated cell-locating device intended for in-vitro diagnostic use in clinical laboratories, used for differential count of white blood cells, red blood cell morphology characterization, and platelet estimation.

Technology

The device consists of a motorized microscope with LED illumination, a digital color camera, XY stage, an integrated computer running CellaVision DM Software using convolutional neural networks for AI-based preclassification and precharacterization of blood cells from stained peripheral blood smears.

Performance

Performance testing included clinical studies comparing the DC-1 to the predicate DM1200 device across multiple labs, demonstrating equivalence in white blood cell differential counts, red blood cell morphology characterization, and platelet estimates. Software verification, electromagnetic compatibility, repeatability, reproducibility, and clinical accuracy studies showed the device is safe and effective.
