Device Description
The BD Phoenix Automated Microbiology System (Phoenix System) is an automated system for the rapid identification (ID) and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of clinically relevant bacterial isolates. The system includes the following components: - BD Phoenix instrument and software. - BD Phoenix panels containing biochemicals for organism ID testing and antimicrobial . agents for AST determinations. - . BD Phoenix ID Broth used for performing ID tests and preparing AST Broth inoculum. - BD Phoenix AST Broth used for performing AST tests only. - BD Phoenix AST Indicator solution added to the AST broth to aid in bacterial growth ● determination. The Phoenix panel is a sealed and self-inoculating molded polystyrene tray with 136 micro-wells containing dried reagents. Organisms for susceptibility testing must be a pure culture and preliminarily identified as a gram-negative or gram-positive isolate. For each isolation equivalent to 0.5 McFarland standard is prepared in Phoenix ID broth. The Phoenix AST method is a broth based microdilution test. The Phoenix system utilizes a redox indicator for the detection of organism growth in the presence of an antimicrobial agent. Measurements of changes to the indicator as well as bacterial turbidity are used in the determination of bacterial growth. Each AST panel configuration contains several antimicrobial agents with a wide range of two-fold doubling dilution concentrations. The instrument houses the panels where they are continuously incubated at a nominal temperature of 35°C. The instrument takes readings of the panels every 20 minutes. The readings are interpreted to give an identification of the isolate, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values and category interpretations, S, I, or R (sensitive, intermediate, or resistant).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the system is intended for "in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing of isolates from pure culture of most aerobic and facultative anaerobic gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria of human origin." and "in vitro quantitative determination of antimicrobial susceptibility". The term "in vitro" is a key indicator of an IVD.
  • Device Description: The description details a system that analyzes biological samples (bacterial isolates from pure culture) outside of the human body using reagents and instruments to provide diagnostic information (identification and susceptibility to antimicrobial agents).
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies involve testing bacterial isolates and comparing the results to reference methods, which is typical for validating an IVD.
  • Key Metrics: The use of metrics like Essential Agreement (EA) and Category Agreement (CA) are standard for evaluating the performance of antimicrobial susceptibility testing IVDs.
  • Predicate Devices: The listed predicate devices are also IVDs used for similar purposes (microbiology testing).

All of these points strongly indicate that the BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System is an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
