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°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).

No
The summary describes an automated system for microbial identification and susceptibility testing based on biochemical reactions and turbidity/redox indicator changes, interpreted by the instrument's software. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the device description, performance studies, or key metrics. The comparison is made to a reference broth microdilution method, not an AI/ML-based system.

No
This device is for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use, specifically for identifying and testing the susceptibility of bacterial isolates. It does not directly treat or diagnose a disease in a human.

Yes

This device is intended for the rapid identification and in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing of isolates from pure cultures, which are diagnostic procedures to determine the presence and susceptibility of bacteria.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as the "BD Phoenix instrument" and "BD Phoenix panels containing biochemicals and antimicrobial agents," in addition to the software.

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

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 compare the device's results to a reference method (NCCLS reference broth microdilution method) for determining antimicrobial susceptibility, which is a diagnostic measurement.
  • Regulatory Context: The document mentions a "premarket notification" and references FDA guidance documents specifically for "Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST) Systems," which are regulated as IVDs by the FDA. The predicate devices listed are also AST systems, further supporting its classification as an IVD.

Site Reproducibility: Intra- and inter-site reproducibility of this antimicrobial agent in the BD Phoenix System was evaluated at three sites using a panel of Gram-negative isolates. Each site tested the isolates in triplicate on three different days using one lot of Gram-negative Phoenix panels containing this antimicrobial agent and associated reagents.

Clinical Studies: Clinical, stock and challenge isolates were tested across multiple geographically diverse sites across the United States to demonstrate the performance of the Phoenix antimicrobial susceptibility test with the Gram-negative Phoenix panel format containing this antimicrobial agent. Phoenix System results for Challenge set isolates were compared to the expected results. Phoenix System results for clinical isolates were compared to the results obtained from the NCCLS reference broth microdilution method.
