[Evaluation of the CellaVision® DM-1200 system for detecting and quantifying schistocytes].

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on improving the detection of schistocytes, which are critical for diagnosing thrombotic microangiopathy, by using the automated digital microscopy system CellaVision® (DM1200), offering a more standardized approach compared to manual counting.* -
- The automated system demonstrated high sensitivity (98.4%) and specificity (96.8%), and it had a lower variability between observers (25%) compared to traditional methods (50%), making it a strong candidate for training and standardization.* -
- However, the technology has limitations, including occasional misclassification of platelets as schistocytes and a substantial percentage of red blood cells not being analyzed, which could potentially skew results.*
