Intended Use
The MTS™ (MIC Test Strip) Ciprofloxacin 0.002-32 µg/mL is a quantitative method intended for the in vitro determination of antimicrobial susceptbility of bacteria. MTS™ consists of specialized paper impremated with a pre-defined concentration eradient of an antimicrobial agent, which is used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MC) in ug/mL of antimicrobial agents as tested on agar media using overnight incubation and manual reading procedures. MTS™ Ciprofloxacin at concentrations of 0.002 - 32 ug/mL should be interpreted at 16-20 hours of incubation. MTS™ Ciprofloxacin can be used to determine the MIC of ciprofloxacin against the following bacteria. Ciprofloxacin has been shown to be active both clinically and in vitro against these bacterial species according to the FDA drug approved abel: Gram-negative bacteria Citrobacter freundii Citrobacter koseri Enterobacter cloacae Escherichia coli Morganella morganii Klebsiella pneumoniae Proteus mirabilis Proteus vulgaris Providencia rettgeri Providencia stuartii Pseudomonas aeruginosa Serratia marcescens
Device Story
MTS™ (MIC Test Strip) is a quantitative in vitro diagnostic device for determining minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Ciprofloxacin. Device consists of specialized paper strip impregnated with a predefined concentration gradient of Ciprofloxacin. Used in clinical microbiology laboratories; performed by trained laboratory personnel. Strip is applied to inoculated agar media; incubated for 16-20 hours. MIC is determined by manual visual inspection of the inhibition ellipse intersection with the strip. Results assist clinicians in selecting appropriate antimicrobial therapy for bacterial infections. Benefits include precise susceptibility quantification to guide targeted antibiotic treatment.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including performance comparisons against reference broth microdilution methods to establish essential agreement and categorical agreement for the specified bacterial species.
Technological Characteristics
Specialized paper strip impregnated with a predefined concentration gradient of Ciprofloxacin (0.002-32 µg/mL). Principle: Diffusion of antimicrobial agent into agar media to create an inhibition ellipse. Manual reading of MIC endpoint. Non-automated, non-electronic, no software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for in vitro determination of antimicrobial susceptibility of specific Gram-negative bacteria (Citrobacter spp., Enterobacter cloacae, E. coli, Morganella morganii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus spp., Providencia spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens) to Ciprofloxacin. For prescription use only.
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 Anne Windau:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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
{1}------------------------------------------------
requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 801 and Part 809); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.html; good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
