FDA Clears Abbott’s Hematology Device

February 11, 2009
Abbott has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its Cell-Dyn Emerald, a compact hematology device. The product, featuring touch screen software, is used in performing complete blood counts (CBCs), which help physicians assess patients’ overall health. CBC results can be completed in 60 seconds and reported using histograms that represent white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets, Abbott said.
