The iQ 200 Urine Analyzer Body Fluids Module is an in-vitro diagnostic device used by a competent human observer to examine and count red blood cells and nucleated cells in cerebrospinal fluid and serous fluids.

Cerebrospinal fluid analysis is ordered by physicians to diagnose meningitis, intracranial hemorrhage, leukemias, malignancies and central nervous system disorders. Serous fluid analysis is ordered by physicians to diagnose infections, hemorrhages, malignancies and other disorders. Cell count determination is a part of these analyses.

The information produced by the iQ 200 Urine Analyzer Body Fluids Module concerning the cell concentrations in CSF and serous body fluids is ordered at the discretion of the physician, and is part of a larger body of laboratory and other test results available to assist the physician in health assessments or differential diagnoses. Cell count findings are always subject to judgment and interpretation by physicians relative to the patient's overall clinical presentation and history.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
