Intended Use
MicroScan® rapID/S plus™ Gram-Negative MIC/Combo Panels are designed for use in determining quantitative and/or qualitative antimicrobial agent susceptibility of colonies grown on solid media of rapidly growing aerobic and facultative anaerobic gram-negative bacilli. The MicroScan® rapID/S plus™ Gram-Negative MIC/Combo Panels are read on the WalkAway® SI System or equivalent (upgraded WalkAway® 40 or WalkAway® 96 instruments). This particular submission is for the antimicrobials Ofloxacin, Norfloxacin, Levofloxacin, Lomefloxacin, Sparfloxacin, and Ciprofloxacin on the Synergies plus" Gram-Negative MIC/Combo Panels. The Gram-Negative organisms which may be used for Ofloxacin (Ofl), Norfloxacin (Nxn), Levofloxacin (Lvx), Lomefloxacin (Lmf), Sparfloxacin (Sfx), and Ciprofloxacin (Cp) susceptibility testing in this panel are listed in the attached table.
Device Description
MicroScan® rapID/S plus™ Gram-Negative MIC/Combo Panels are designed for use in determining quantitative and/or qualitative antimicrobial agent susceptibility of colonies grown on solid media of rapidly growing aerobic and facultative anaerobic gram-negative bacilli. The MicroScan® rapID/S plus™ Gram-Negative MIC/Combo Panels are read on the WalkAway® SI System or equivalent (upgraded WalkAway® 40 or WalkAway® 96 instruments). The antimicrobial susceptibility tests are miniaturizations of the broth dilution susceptibility test that have been diluted in Mueller-Hinton Broth to concentrations bridging the range of clinical interest and are presented in micro-titer wells in dried form. The rapID/S plus™ panels are inoculated with a standardized suspension of the organism and incubated at 35℃ in the WalkAway® SI System or equivalent for 4.5 - 18 hours. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for the test organism is determined by the lowest antimicrobial concentration showing inhibition of growth.

The summary describes a traditional broth dilution susceptibility test read by an automated instrument, with no mention of AI or ML in the device description, performance studies, or key metrics.

No.
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) tool designed to determine the susceptibility of bacteria to antimicrobial agents, which assists in guiding treatment decisions, but does not directly treat or diagnose a disease.

Yes

The device determines the susceptibility of bacteria to antimicrobial agents, which is a diagnostic function used to guide treatment decisions for infections.

No

The device description explicitly states it involves physical panels ("micro-titer wells in dried form") and requires incubation and reading on a hardware system (WalkAway® SI System or equivalent). This indicates it is a hardware-based device with potential software components for reading and interpretation, not a software-only device.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the device is "designed for use in determining quantitative and/or qualitative antimicrobial agent susceptibility of colonies grown on solid media of rapidly growing aerobic and facultative anaerobic gram-negative bacilli." This is a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body) on a biological sample (bacterial colonies).
  • Device Description: The description details how the test works by using miniaturized broth dilution susceptibility tests in micro-titer wells, inoculated with a standardized suspension of the organism, and incubated. This process is a standard method for in vitro diagnostic testing of microbial susceptibility.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies compare the device's performance to a "NCCLS frozen Reference panel," which is a common practice for validating in vitro diagnostic devices. The metrics reported (Essential Agreement and Categorical Agreement) are also typical for evaluating the performance of antimicrobial susceptibility testing devices.

The core function of the device is to provide information about the susceptibility of bacteria to antimicrobial agents, which is a crucial piece of information for diagnosing and guiding treatment of infections. This clearly falls under the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

The external evaluation was conducted with fresh and stock Efficacy isolates and stock Challenge strains. The external evaluations were designed to confirm the acceptability of the proposed rapID/S plus™ Gram-Negative Panel by comparing its performance with an NCCLS frozen Reference panel. Challenge strains were compared to Expected Results determined prior to the evaluation.

Summary of Performance Studies

The proposed MicroScan® rapID/S plus™ Gram-Negative MIC/Combo Panel demonstrated substantially equivalent performance when compared with an NCCLS frozen Reference Panel, as defined in the FDA DRAFT document "Guidance on Review Criteria for Assessment of Antimicrobial Susceptibility Devices", dated March 8, 2000.
The rapID/S plus™ Gram-Negative Panel demonstrated acceptable performance with an overall Essential Agreement of 98.3% for Offloxacin, 97.4% for Nortloxacin, 98.2% for Levofloxacin, 98.6% for Lomefloxacin, 98.6% for Sparfloxacin and 98.3% for Ciprofloxacin when compared with the frozen Reference panel.
