Intended Use

VITEK 2® Gram Positive Moxifloxacin is designed for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-susceptible strains only). It is intended for use with the VITEK 2® System as a laboratory aid in the determination of in vitro susceptibility to antimicrobial agents.

Device Description

The VITEK 2 AST Cards are essentially miniaturized versions of the doubling dilution technique for determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) microdilution methodology. The bacterial isolate to be tested is diluted to a standardized concentration in 0.45% saline before being used to rehydrate the antimicrobial medium within the card. The VITEK 2 automatically fills, seals and places the card into the incubator/reader. The VITEK 2 monitors the growth of each well in the card over a defined period of time (up to 18 hours). At the completion of the incubation cycle, a report is generated that contains the MIC value along with the interpretive category result for each antibiotic contained on the card.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a summary of the acceptance criteria and study details for the VITEK® 2 Gram Positive Moxifloxacin, based on the provided text:

1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

Acceptance Criteria (from FDA Draft Guidance)Reported Device Performance (VITEK® 2 Gram Positive Moxifloxacin)
Sufficient Essential Agreement with reference method99.2% overall Essential Agreement

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

The document mentions "fresh and stock clinical isolates and stock challenge strains". It does not explicitly state the exact sample size for the test set.

  • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, though the mention of "external evaluation" suggests multiple sites, potentially within the USA, given the FDA submission. The letter from the FDA does state "Over the country USA" likely referring to the manufacturer's location, rather than data provenance.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:

The ground truth was established using the NCCLS reference agar dilution method. This is a standardized laboratory method for determining antimicrobial susceptibility, not directly an expert consensus in the typical sense (e.g., a panel of radiologists). While laboratories performing this method require trained personnel, the document does not specify the number of individuals or their specific qualifications beyond adherence to the NCCLS standard.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

Not applicable. The comparison was made against a standardized laboratory reference method (NCCLS agar dilution), not human expert interpretations requiring adjudication.

5. Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

No, an MRMC study was not performed. This device is an automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing system, not an imaging or diagnostic AI requiring human-in-the-loop performance evaluation.

6. Standalone Performance:

Yes, a standalone performance study was done. The VITEK® 2 Gram Positive Moxifloxacin was compared directly against the NCCLS reference agar dilution method to determine its "Essential Agreement."

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

The ground truth used was the NCCLS reference agar dilution method. This is a validated laboratory method considered the gold standard for determining minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and susceptibility in microbiology.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

The document does not explicitly mention a separate "training set" or its size. The described validation study details an "external evaluation" that tested the VITEK® 2 system. For such automated systems, "training" might refer to the development and calibration of the algorithm itself using internal data, which would likely have preceded this external validation study.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

As no explicit training set is detailed, the method for establishing its ground truth is not provided. If the device's algorithms were developed internally, it's highly probable they were trained against similar reference methods (like agar dilution) to establish accurate MIC readings and interpretive categories.

D. 510(k) Summary:

VITEK® 2 Gram Positive Moxifloxacin is designed for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-susceptible strains only). It is intended for use with the VITEK® 2 System as a laboratory aid in the determination of in vitro susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. The antimicrobial presented in VITEK 2 AST Cards is in concentrations equivalent by efficacy to standard method concentrations in mcg/ml. The VITEK 2 AST Cards are essentially miniaturized versions of the doubling dilution technique for determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) microdilution methodology.

The bacterial isolate to be tested is diluted to a standardized concentration in 0.45% saline before being used to rehydrate the antimicrobial medium within the card. The VITEK 2 automatically fills, seals and places the card into the incubator/reader. The VITEK 2 monitors the growth of each well in the card over a defined period of time (up

to 18 hours). At the completion of the incubation cycle, a report is generated that contains the MIC value along with the interpretive category result for each antibiotic contained on the card.

VITEK 2 Gram Positive Moxifloxacin demonstrated substantially equivalent performance when compared with the NCCLS reference agar dilution method, as defined in the FDA DRAFT document "Guidance on Review Criteria for Assessment of Antimicrobial susceptibility Devices", dated March 8, 2000 and Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST) Systems; Guidance for Industry and FDA. Issued Feb. 5, 2003.

The Premarket Notification (510[k]) presents data in support of VITEK 2 Gram Positive Moxifloxacin.

An external evaluation was conducted with fresh and stock clinical isolates and stock challenge strains. The external evaluations were designed to confirm the acceptability of VITEK 2 Gram Positive Moxifloxacin by comparing its performance with the NCCLS agar dilution reference method. VITEK 2 Gram Positive Moxifloxacin demonstrated acceptable performance of 99.2% overall Essential Agreement when compared to the agar dilution reference method. Reproducibility and Quality Control demonstrated acceptable results.
