Blast flagging of the Sysmex XN-10 hematology analyzer with supervised cell image analysis: Impact on quality parameters.

CONCLUSION: The Sysmex XN-10 abnormal lymphocyte/blast and immature granulocytes flags had excellent sensitivity and acceptable specificity in detecting circulating blasts with shorter turnaround time than the CellaVision-assisted visual differential. Our study suggests that automated differentials performed on Sysmex XN-10 can replace visual differentials as a first-line screening method for blast detection with improved turnaround time in hematology-oncology populations.
