Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted
source quote (p.4)
“The Sight OLO device is a computer vision based platform for blood analysis. The platform combines computer-vision algorithms for image processing to identify and quantify blood components (e.g., red blood cells) and their characteristics (e.g., cell volume) in an automated fashion. Using dedicated staining, the proposed platform provides complete blood count analysis. The Sight OLO is a compact device, designed to be automated and simple to operate, to enable rapid testing and analysis. The Sight OLO consists of a scanning and analyzing device and a CBC test kit, including disposable cartridges and sample preparation tools. The disposable cartridge containing the blood sample is loaded into the device through the loading slot. The device is operated through the touch screen interface.”
source quote (p.7)
“Computer-vision algorithms visually scan stained blood sample under device fluorescence microscope and analyze the captured images. Software identifies visual differences between different blood components while relying on characteristics such as size, shape, intensity, and morphology.”

One Test Kit lot (TK1-10114) shows a positive bias in the platelet count due to bacterial contamination which can result in elevated counts with a bias of 7.5 k/ul. This results in the test kit lot performing outside of the device specification.

The default reference ranges for MCH, MCHC, and RDW for age group "Child 2-11y" are mixed up and incorrectly displayed on OLO devices running software version 2.63, 2.63.1, and 2.63.1.1. Due to the issue, results may incorrectly appear to be within or outside the reference range.

In instances where custom reference ranges were configured on the device post installation, a possibility to inadvertently apply changes to reference range values was found on software versions 2.59.3 and all earlier versions, which can potentially lead to displaying and printing incorrectly-configured reference range values

recall event 88401 (openFDA)
Recall and MAUDE counts are product-code-level (reports aren't reliably attributable to one device); a recall is shown as device-attributed only when the recall record itself lists this clearance number. Signals are descriptive observables with sources — never a judgment that the device is unsafe or drifting. Snapshot 2026-07-08.
