Intended Use

HardyDisk™ Antimicrobial Sensitivity Disks are used for semi-quantitative in vitro susceptibility testing by the agar diffusion test proccdure (Kirby-Baucr) of rapidly growing and corain fastidious bactcrial pathogens. Standardized mothods for agar diffusion testing have been described for Enterobacteriaceae, Staphylococous spp., Pscudomonas spp., Acinesobacter spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Enterococcus spp., other streptococci and, by modified procedures, Ilacmophilus influenzas. Neisseria gonorrhocas and Streptococcus pneumoniae. HardyDisk™ Aztroottam is indicated for in vitro activity against gram negative aerobic pathogens including Escherichia coli, Enterobacter spp., Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, and C.itrobacter spp. HardyDisk™ Aztreonam is also indicated for in vitro activity against Haemaphilus influenzae.

Device Story

HardyDisk™ Aztreonam 30mcg are antimicrobial sensitivity disks used in clinical laboratories for semi-quantitative in vitro susceptibility testing. The device utilizes the Kirby-Bauer agar diffusion method. Disks are placed on agar plates inoculated with bacterial pathogens; the antibiotic diffuses into the medium, inhibiting bacterial growth. The resulting zone of inhibition is measured by laboratory personnel to determine susceptibility. This information assists clinicians in selecting appropriate antibiotic therapy for patients with bacterial infections. The device is intended for professional use in clinical laboratory settings.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; device performance is established through standardized in vitro agar diffusion (Kirby-Bauer) testing procedures.

Technological Characteristics

Antimicrobial sensitivity disk containing 30mcg of Aztreonam. Operates via agar diffusion principle. Designed for use in standardized Kirby-Bauer susceptibility testing protocols.

Indications for Use

Indicated for in vitro susceptibility testing of rapidly growing and certain fastidious bacterial pathogens, specifically gram-negative aerobic pathogens (E. coli, Enterobacter spp., K. pneumoniae, K. oxytoca, P. mirabilis, P. aeruginosa, S. marcescens, Citrobacter spp.) and Haemophilus influenzae.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An antimicrobial susceptibility test disc is a device that consists of antimicrobic-impregnated paper discs used to measure by a disc-agar diffusion technique or a disc-broth elution technique the in vitro susceptibility of most clinically important bacterial pathogens to antimicrobial agents. In the disc-agar diffusion technique, bacterial susceptibility is ascertained by directly measuring the magnitude of a zone of bacterial inhibition around the disc on an agar surface. The disc-broth elution technique is associated with an automated rapid susceptibility test system and employs a fluid medium in which susceptibility is ascertained by photometrically measuring changes in bacterial growth resulting when antimicrobial material is eluted from the disc into the fluid medium. Test results are used to determine the antimicrobial agent of choice in the treatment of bacterial diseases.

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 (Premarket Approval), 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 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations. {1}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 Under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA-88), this device may require a CLIA complexity categorization. To determine if it does, you should contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at (770)488-7655. 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 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.
