Body fluid: General celomic fluid in laboratory testing. Body fluid includes cerebrospinal
fluid, serous fluid (peritoneal and pleural), synovial fluid, and peritoneal dialysis
fluid.
Total nuclear cell count: Count of nuclear cells in body fluid sample. In addition to white blood cells,
body fluid contains a variety of other nuclear cells including mesothelial cells,
plasma cells, histiocytes, and tumor cells.
Low WBC mode: Used for analysis of low WBC using whole blood.
Dilution mode: Used for analysis of a minute amount of blood collected from the earlobe or
fingertip.
Body fluid mode: Used for analysis of body fluid (cerebrospinal fluid, serous fluid (peritoneal and
pleural), synovial fluid, and peritoneal dialysis fluid)
Micro analysis: A type of manual anavlysis whereby analysis is performed without a cap on the
sample tube to reduce dead volume. The conditions for micro analysis are as
follows:
• [Cap Open] is set to ON in the Manual Analysis screen
• Analysis is performed in [Dilution] mode
• A micro collection tube is used
Body fluid analysis: A type of manual analysis used to analyze body fluid.
RBT analysis: A type of manual analysis that uses a raised bottom tube (RBT) to reduce
dead volume.
1.3.1 Models
Three hardware model types are available: XN-550 / XN-530 (sampler analysis type), XN-450 / XN-430
(closed analysis type), and XN-350 / XN-330 (open analysis type). These models are also divided into
regular models (XN-550, 450, 350) and tender models (XN-530, 430, 330).
On the XN-550, 450, and 350 models, the parameters RET, body fluid, and low WBC, and an increased
number of samples processed per hour, are available as options by means of a software license. The
number of samples processed per hour is about 70.
On the XN-530, 430, and 330 tender types, functions such as the number of storable samples, patient
registration, and analysis registration are limited.

1.4.5 Reproducibility
Reproducibility is as specified in Appendix 1 when fresh blood (IG uses a sample with immature granulocytes
(same day blood); RET-He uses a sample with an RET# of at least 2.0x104/µL (same day blood)) or control
blood is analyzed at least 10 times in succession with a reliability having a coefficient of variation of 95%.
However, for the following parameters and analysis modes, analysis is performed using the method indicated.
Parameter Method
For fresh blood, analysis is performed at least 5 times in succession using an
IG%, IG#
abnormal sample with the indicated cells (due to the fact that there are limitations on
HFLC%, HFLC#
the sample volume of abnormal samples).
1.4.6 Accuracy
1.4.6.1 Blood cell count parameters
Whole blood / dilution mode (WBC, RBC)
When at least 100 samples of same-day fresh blood are analyzed after instrument calibration,
the average values are within the ranges in Appendix 1 when compared to analysis using an XN
series standard instrument equivalent.
1.4.6.5 Reticulocyte parameters (RET#, RET%, LFR, MFR, HFR, IRF, RET-He)
When at least 100 samples of same-day fresh blood are analyzed after instrument calibration, the
correlation factors are within the ranges in Appendix 1. The reference data are obtained using an XN
series standard instrument equivalent or the visual method (CLSI H44-A2). In addition, when compared
to analysis using an XN series standard instrument equivalent, the average values are within the ranges
in Appendix 1.
1.4.7 Linearity
At the concentration specified in Appendix 1, residuals and residual rates must be within the range
indicated in Appendix 1.
1.4.8 Carryover
As indicated in Appendix 1

Stability values obtained using the standard analysis method are specified below. Changes in the sample
itself are not included.
