Ertapenem 10 µg BBL™ Sensi-Disc™ is intended for use in determining the susceptibility to Ertapenem of a wide range of bacteria, as described in the "Indications for Use" section. Zone sizes used for interpretation of tests, including control organism limits, were determined by the antimicrobic manufacturer, Merck & Co., Inc. and received FDA approval under NDA Number 21-337. Use of Ertapenem 10 µg, BBL™ Sensi-Disc™ for in vitro agar diffusion susceptibility testing is indicated when there is a need to determine the susceptibility of bacteria to Ertapenem. Ertapenem has been shown to be active in vitro against most strains of microorganisms listed below, as described in the Merck & Co., Inc. package insert for this antimicrobic. Active In Vitro and in clinical infections against: Aerobic gram-positive microorganisms Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-susceptible strains only) Streptococcus agalactiae Streptococcus pneumoniae (penicillin-susceptible strains only) Streptococcus pyogenes Aerobic gram-negative microorganisms Escherichia coli Haemophilus influenzae (beta-lactamase negative strains only) Klebsiella pneumoniae Active In Vitro Against: Aerobic gram-positive microorganisms Streptococcus pneumoniae (penicillin-intermediate strains only) Aerobic gram-negative microorganisms Citrobacter freundii Citrobacter koseri Enterobacter aerogenes Enterobacter cloacae Haemophilus influenzae (beta-lactamase positive strains) Haemophilus parainfluenzae Klebsiella oxytoca (excluding ESBL producing strains) Morqanella morganii Proteus mirabilis Proteus vulgaris Serratia marcescens
Device Description
Ertapenem 10 µg BBL™ Sensi-Disc™ is prepared by impregnating high quality paper with accurately determined amounts of Ertapenem supplied by the manufacturer, Merck & Co., Inc. Each Ertapenem disc is clearly marked on both sides with the agent and drug content. Ertapenem cartridges each contain 50 impregnated discs that are packed as either a single cartridge in a single box, or in a package containing ten cartridges. Ertapenem discs are used for semi-quantitative in vitro susceptibility evaluations by the agar diffusion test method. Agar diffusion susceptibility methods employing dried filter paper discs impregnated with specific concentrations of antimicrobial agents were developed in the 1940s. In order to eliminate or minimize variability in the testing, Bauer et al. developed a standardized procedure in which Mueller Hinton Agar was selected as the test medium. Various regulatory agencies and standards-writing organizations subsequently published standardized reference procedures based on the Bauer-Kirby method. Among the earliest and most widely accepted of these standardized procedures were those published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The procedure was adopted as a consensus standard by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) and is periodically updated.

The device description and intended use are focused on a traditional agar diffusion test method using impregnated paper discs. There is no mention of any computational analysis, algorithms, or learning processes that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The interpretation relies on standardized procedures and zone sizes determined by the drug manufacturer and FDA approval, not on adaptive or learned patterns.

No
This device is an in vitro diagnostic product used to test the susceptibility of bacteria to an antimicrobial agent, not to treat a patient.

Yes

The device (Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test Discs, specifically Ertapenem 10 µg BBL™ Sensi-Disc™) is used for "semi-quantitative in vitro susceptibility testing" to determine the "susceptibility of bacteria to Ertapenem." This process provides information that helps in the diagnosis and treatment of bacterial infections by guiding antibiotic selection.

No

The device is described as impregnated paper discs used for in vitro susceptibility testing, which are physical components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The document explicitly states the device is used for "semi-quantitative in vitro susceptibility testing by standardized agar diffusion test procedures." The term "in vitro" is a key indicator of an IVD. It also specifies the purpose is to determine the susceptibility of bacteria to Ertapenem, which is a diagnostic function performed outside of the living body.
  • Device Description: The description details the composition and function of the discs, which are used in a laboratory setting for testing.
  • Context: The document discusses standardized procedures like the Bauer-Kirby method and mentions regulatory bodies like the FDA and WHO, which are relevant to the regulation of IVDs.

The entire context of the document points to a device used in a laboratory setting to perform diagnostic tests on biological samples (bacteria) outside of the body, which is the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 866.1620 Antimicrobial susceptibility test disc.

(a)
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.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

Ertapenem 10 µg BBL™ Sensi-Disc™ is prepared by impregnating high quality paper with accurately determined amounts of Ertapenem supplied by the manufacturer, Merck & Co., Inc. Each Ertapenem disc is clearly marked on both sides with the agent and drug content. Ertapenem cartridges each contain 50 impregnated discs that are packed as either a single cartridge in a single box, or in a package containing ten cartridges. Ertapenem discs are used for semi-quantitative in vitro susceptibility evaluations by the agar diffusion test method.

Agar diffusion susceptibility methods employing dried filter paper discs impregnated with specific concentrations of antimicrobial agents were developed in the 1940s. In order to eliminate or minimize variability in the testing, Bauer et al. developed a standardized procedure in which Mueller Hinton Agar was selected as the test medium.

Various regulatory agencies and standards-writing organizations subsequently published standardized reference procedures based on the Bauer-Kirby method. Among the earliest and most widely accepted of these standardized procedures were those published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The procedure was adopted as a consensus standard by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) and is periodically updated.

DEVICE PRINCIPLE:

Discs containing a wide variety of antimicrobial agents are applied to the surface of Mueller Hinton Agar plates for Haemophilus Test Medium Agar for Haemophilus influenzae or Mueller Hinton Agar with 5% Sheep Blood for Streptococcus species] inoculated with pure cultures of clinical isolates. Following incubation, the plates are examined and the zones of inhibition surrounding the discs are measured and compared with established zone size ranges for individual antimicrobial agents in order to determine the agent(s) most suitable for use in antimicrobial therapy. The categorical interpretation [susceptible (S), intermediate (I), or resistant (R)] for the organism being tested with the antimicrobial agent is made by comparing zone diameters to those found in the respective organism tables of NCCLS Document M2-A7 ("Performance Standards for Antimicrobial Disk Susceptibility Tests - Seventh Edition, Approved Standard", 1/00) and of NCCLS Document M100-S12 ("Performance Standards for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing", Twelfth Informational Supplement, 1/02).
