Intended Use

The BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System is intended for the rapid identification and in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing of isolates from pure culture of most aerobic and facultative anaerobic gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria of human origin.

Device Story

Automated system for rapid identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of bacterial isolates. Inputs: pure culture bacterial isolates in Phoenix ID/AST broth, inoculated into molded polystyrene panels with 136 micro-wells containing biochemicals and antimicrobial agents. Operation: instrument incubates panels at 35°C; takes optical readings every 20 minutes using redox indicator and turbidity measurements to detect growth. Output: identification of isolate, MIC values, and category interpretations (S, I, or R). Used in clinical laboratories by trained personnel. Results assist clinicians in selecting appropriate antimicrobial therapy for patients with bacterial infections.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing and clinical performance evaluation. Study compared BD Phoenix results to NCCLS reference broth microdilution method across multiple US sites. Evaluated 1456 isolates for quinupristin/dalfopristin. Results: 93.8% Essential Agreement (EA) and 96.8% Category Agreement (CA). Reproducibility study showed >90% intra-site and >95% inter-site agreement.

Technological Characteristics

Automated broth microdilution system. Components: instrument, software, polystyrene panels (136 wells), ID/AST broth, redox indicator. Sensing: optical turbidity and redox indicator colorimetric change. Incubation: 35°C. Connectivity: automated instrument-based. Software: automated interpretation of growth kinetics.

Indications for Use

Indicated for in vitro quantitative MIC determination of antimicrobial susceptibility for gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus and Enterococcus genera) from pure culture. Specifically for quinupristin/dalfopristin (0.25-4 µg/mL) against E. faecium (vancomycin/multi-drug resistant), S. aureus (methicillin-susceptible/resistant), and S. epidermidis (including methicillin-resistant). Not active against E. faecalis.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A fully automated short-term incubation cycle antimicrobial susceptibility system is a device that incorporates concentrations of antimicrobial agents into a system for the purpose of determining in vitro susceptibility of bacterial pathogens isolated from clinical specimens. Test results obtained from short-term (less than 16 hours) incubation are used to determine the antimicrobial agent of choice to treat bacterial diseases.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is FDA's guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST) Systems; Guidance for Industry and FDA.”

The system includes the following components: - BD Phoenix instrument and software. - BD Phoenix panels containing biochemicals for organism ID testing and antimicrobial . agents for AST determinations. - . BD Phoenix ID Broth used for performing ID tests and preparing AST Broth inoculum. - BD Phoenix AST Broth used for performing AST tests only. - BD Phoenix AST Indicator solution added to the AST broth to aid in bacterial growth ● determination. {1}------------------------------------------------ The Phoenix panel is a sealed and self-inoculating molded polystyrene tray with 136 micro-wells containing dried reagents. Organisms for susceptibility testing must be a pure culture and preliminarily identified as a gram-negative or gram-positive isolate. For each isolation equivalent to 0.5 McFarland standard is prepared in Phoenix ID broth. The Phoenix AST method is a broth based microdilution test. The Phoenix system utilizes a redox indicator for the detection of organism growth in the presence of an antimicrobial agent. Measurements of changes to the indicator as well as bacterial turbidity are used in the determination of bacterial growth. Each AST panel configuration contains several antimicrobial agents with a wide range of two-fold doubling dilution concentrations. The instrument houses the panels where they are continuously incubated at a nominal temperature of 35°C. The instrument takes readings of the panels every 20 minutes. The readings are interpreted to give an identification of the isolate, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values and category interpretations, S, I, or R (sensitive, intermediate, or resistant). # DEVICE COMPARISON: The BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System demonstrated substantially equivalent performance when compared with the NCCLS reference broth microdilution method. This premarket notification provides data supporting the use of the BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System Gram-positive ID/AST or AST only Phoenix panels with quinupristin/dalfopristin. # SUMMARY OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE TESTING: The BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System has demonstrated substantially equivalent performance when compared to the NCCLS reference broth microdilution method (AST panels prepared according to NCCLS M7). The system has been evaluated as defined in the FDA Draft guidance document, "Guidance on Review Criteria for Assessment of Antimicrobial Susceptibility Devices", March 8, 2000. ## Site Reproducibility Intra- and inter-site reproducibility of quinupristin/dalfopristin in the BD Phoenix System was evaluated at three sites using a panel of gram-positive isolates. Each site tested the isolates in triplicate on three different days using one lot of Gram Positive Phoenix panels with quinupristin/dalfopristin and associated reagents. The results of the study demonstrate for the antimicrobial agent quinupristin/dalfopristin an overall intra-site reproducibility greater than 90% and an overall inter-site reproducibility greater than 95% for the gram-positive isolates tested. ## Clinical Studies Clinical, stock and challenge isolates were tested across multiple geographically diverse sites across the United States to demonstrate the performance of the Phoenix antimicrobial susceptibility test with the Gram-Positive Phoenix Panel format containing quinupristin . Phoenix System results for Challenge set isolates were compared to the expected results. Phoenix System results for clinical {2}------------------------------------------------ isolates were compared to the results obtained from the NCCLS reference broth microdilution method. The performance of the Phoenix System was assessed by calculating Essential Agreement (EA) and Category Agreement (CA) to expected/reference results for all isolates tested. Essential Agreement (EA) occurs when the BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System agrees exactly or within + on two-fold dilution to the reference result. Category Agreement (CA) occurs when the BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System agrees with the reference method with respect to the FDA categorical interpretive criteria (susceptible, intermediate, and resistant). Table 1 summarizes the performance for the isolates tested in this study. ## Table 1: Performance of BD Phoenix System for Gram-Positive Organisms with Quinupristin/dalfopristin | Antimicrobial Agent | Concentration | EA (n) | EA (%) | CA (n) | CA (%) | |---------------------------|---------------|--------|--------|--------|--------| | Quinupristin/dalfopristin | 0.25-4 µg/mL | 1456 | 93.8% | 1456 | 96.8% | ## Conclusions Drawn from Substantial Equivalence Studies The data collected from the substantial equivalence studies demonstrate that testing on the BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System with quinupristin is substantially equivalent as outlined in the FDA draft guidance document, "Guidance on Review Criteria for Assessment of Antimicrobial Susceptibility Devices", March 8, 2000. Technological characteristics of this system are substantially equivalent to those used in both the VITEK® system, which received approval by the FDA under PMA number N50510 and the BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System with Gatifloxacin (K020321, May 23, 2002), Ofloxacin (K020323, April 14, 2002), and Levofloxacin (K020322, March 27, 2002). {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
