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 a 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℃. 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).
