We evaluated the DxU 850m Iris Urine Microscopy analyzer as a screening tool for excluding negative urine samples (n = 1337). At a cutoff of 103 colony counts·mL-1, sensitivity was 55.1 %, specificity 68.6 %. The DxU 850m Iris does not offer acceptable prediction of culture-negative urine samples at the tested cutoff.
