Article Abstract
Background: The aim was to evaluate the consistency of the results between the UF-1500 and UF-5000, fully automated urine particle analyzers.
Methods: A total of 554 randomly selected inpatient and outpatient urine samples were collected for analysis using the UF-1500, the UF-5000, and by manual microscopic examination. The coincidence rate, intraday repeatability, and interday reproducibility were evaluated on the UF-1500 and UF-5000. To analyze the review flags from the UF-1500, the UF-1500 results were compared to manual microscopy as the gold standard.
Results: The repeatability of red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), epithelial cells (ECs), casts, and bacteria using the UF-1500 and UF-5000 is expressed as the relative standard deviations of the intraday and inter-day measurements. For the UF-1500, the relative standard deviation values ranged from 5.9% to 12.6% and 4.9% to 17.2% for the low and 1.6% to 9.3% and 2.3% to 16.9% for the high samples, respectively. The correlation co-efficient for RBCs, WBCs, ECs, SECs, casts, crystals, and bacteria for the UF-1500 were 0.981, 0.993, 0.968, 0.963, 0.821, 0.783, and 0.992, respectively. Review samples from the UF-1500 were confirmed by microscopic examination. Review flags for all 554 samples included 3 samples with "DEBRIS High" and 23 samples with "RBCs/YLC Abnormal classification".
Conclusions: The identification of various urine components by both instruments meets laboratory requirements. These two instruments with different performances have specific characteristics and should be used based upon the needs of each laboratory.

Background: The UF-1500 is the new fully automated urine particle analyser by Sysmex specifically tailored for small and medium laboratories. This study aim to validate its analytical and diagnostic performance.
Methods: 754 first morning mid-stream urines were analysed on UF-1500; 550 samples were used for the UF-5000 comparison and 204 were used for the correlation with manual count on Fuchs-Rosenthal chamber.

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.
