Usefulness of Automated Hematology System Sysmex XN-3100 for the Quantification of Schistocytes and Early Detection of Thrombotic Microangiopathy
A new automated blood analyzer detects dangerous clots with perfect accuracy, matching the gold standard and catching cases older methods miss.
Sysmex XN-3100 digital morphology SCHISTO-DI achieves 100% sensitivity and NPV for TMA detection matching the light microscopy gold standard in 91 samples from 54 patients; standard FRC reticulocyte channel shows insufficient sensitivity at 66.7% with five clinically significant false negatives. This record was retained from the prior triage attempt for PubMed pipeline handoff.
