Intended Use
The Sensititre 18 - 24 hour MIC or Breakpoint Susceptibility System is an in vitro diagnostic product for clinical susceptibility testing of gram negative and gram positive organisms.
Device Story
Sensititre 18-24 hour MIC or Breakpoint Susceptibility System performs in vitro diagnostic susceptibility testing of gram-negative and gram-positive organisms. Device utilizes an AutoReader system for automated plate reading; however, specific limitations exist for certain organisms and antibiotics. Enterococcus species require manual reading for Nitrofurantoin due to insufficient performance data on resistant strains. System provides MIC or breakpoint results to clinicians to guide antimicrobial therapy. Intended for use in clinical laboratory environments by trained laboratory personnel.
Clinical Evidence
No new clinical trials were conducted. The submission relies on comparative testing data to support the removal of existing limitations and the addition of a new limitation for Nitrofurantoin with Enterococcus species, based on the availability of resistant strains for validation.
Technological Characteristics
In vitro diagnostic susceptibility test panel. Utilizes an automated optical reader (AutoReader) for plate analysis. System is designed for 18-24 hour incubation periods. Connectivity and software integration are inherent to the AutoReader platform. Sterilization and material specifications are consistent with previously cleared Sensititre system components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for clinical susceptibility testing of gram-negative and gram-positive organisms in a laboratory setting. Used for determining Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) or breakpoint susceptibility.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An antimicrobial susceptibility test powder is a device that consists of an antimicrobial drug powder packaged in vials in specified amounts and intended for use in clinical laboratories for determining in vitro susceptibility of bacterial pathogens to these therapeutic agents. Test results are used to determine the antimicrobial agent of choice in the treatment of bacterial diseases.

Dear Ms. Knapp:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and 1 additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4588. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR 807.97).

510 (k) Number (If known): Device Name: Susceptibility Test Panel
Indications For Use:
The Sensititre 18 - 24 hour MIC or Breakpoint Susceptibility System is an in vitro diagnostic product
for clinical susceptibility testing of gram negative and gram positive organisms.
## This 510(k) is for the climination of limitations in the sensititre technical insert. The limitation to be removed are as follows:
2.) The AutoReader system should not be used to read Enterococcus sp. Due to the lack of performance data on emerging resistant Enterococcus sp., all enterococcal strains should be read manually. A nitrocefin Beta lactamase test should be performed to detect B-lactamase producing strains of enterococci. 3.) The ability of the Sensititre System to detect resistance with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid with Enterococcus sp., and gentamicin (500 ug/mL) with Enterococcus faccium is unknown because too few resistant strains were available at the time of comparative testing.
The addition of the following limitation in the Sensititre technical insert:
The autoreader system should not be used Nitrofurantoin with Enterococcus species. Nitrofurantoin should be read manually. The ability to detect resistance with nitrofuantoin is unknown because too few resistant strains were available at the time of comparative testing.
