The description focuses on the culture bottle and the detection system's monitoring capabilities, with no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.
No.
The device is used for detection of microorganisms in blood and body fluids, which is a diagnostic purpose, not therapeutic.
Yes
The device is used for the enhanced recovery and detection of microorganisms from blood and other sterile body fluids, which is a diagnostic procedure to identify the presence of pathogens.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "Plastic Culture Bottle" and is used with a "BacT/ALERT Microbial Detection System," indicating it is a physical component (a bottle) and relies on a hardware system for detection. It is not solely software.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the bottles are used "in qualitative procedures for enhanced recovery and detection of aerobic microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) from blood and other normally sterile body fluids." This involves testing samples taken from the human body (in vitro) to provide information about a person's health status (diagnostic).
- Device Description: The description further clarifies that the device is used to "provide suitable nutritional and environmental conditions for organisms commonly encountered in blood infections and normally sterile body fluids." This is a key function of an IVD used for microbial detection.
- Anatomical Site: The specified anatomical sites are "Blood, Body Fluids," which are common samples used in IVD testing.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies describe testing the device with human blood samples to evaluate its ability to recover and detect microorganisms, which is a typical evaluation for an IVD.
- Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (BacT/ALERT SA Glass Culture Bottle) with a K number (K993423) indicates that this device is being compared to a previously cleared medical device, which is a common process for IVDs seeking regulatory approval.
All of these points strongly indicate that the BacT/ALERT® SA Culture Bottles are intended for use in diagnostic procedures performed outside of the body, making it an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The BacT/ALERT SA Plastic Culture Bottle was developed for the same intended use as the current BacT/ALERT SA Glass Culture Bottle, to provide suitable nutritional and environmental conditions for organisms commonly encountered in blood infections and normally sterile body fluids. An inoculated bottle is placed into the BacT/ALERT Microbial Detection Instruments where it is incubated and continuously monitored for the presence of microorganisms that will grow in the BacT/ALERT SA Bottle.

Seeded studies were performed on 23 organisms diluted in human blood and inoculated into the BacT/ALERT SA Plastic Culture bottle and the BacT/ALERT SA Glass Culture bottle.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Testing was performed to establish the performance characteristics of the new device including: Seeded studies were performed on 23 organisms diluted in human blood and inoculated into the BacT/ALERT SA Plastic Culture bottle and the BacT/ALERT SA Glass Culture bottle. The BacT/ALERT SA Plastic Culture Bottle was substantially equivalent to the BacT/ALERT SA Glass Culture Bottle based on recovery of low levels of the 23 microorganisms included in the study. Detection times were equivalent in both bottles.

§ 866.2560 Microbial growth monitor.
(a)
Identification. A microbial growth monitor is a device intended for medical purposes that measures the concentration of bacteria suspended in a liquid medium by measuring changes in light scattering properties, optical density, electrical impedance, or by making direct bacterial counts. The device aids in the diagnosis of disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms.(b)
Classification. Class I. With the exception of automated blood culturing system devices that are used in testing for bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms in blood and other normally sterile body fluids, this device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter.
