Evaluation of the fully automated urine particle analyzer UF-1500.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

This study primarily assessed the performance of the UF-1500, the novel and compact model of the fully automated urine particle analyzer and evaluated its performance against the existing UF-5000 instrument.

Materials and methods

A total of 648 residual urine specimens were randomly collected and examined using both the UF-1500 and UF-5000 instruments as well as manual microscopy. For each parameter, the concordance rates and detection accuracy of the UF-1500 against manual microscopy were compared with the UF-5000.

Results

The concordance rates between the UF-1500 and manual microscopy were 75.3%-98.5%. The UF-1500 concordance rates within one group agreement were observed to be >90%, for all parameters except for YLCs. The differences within one
