Intended Use
VITEK® 2 Gram Positive Linezolid is designed for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Enterococcus faecalis, E. faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, S. haemolyticus and Streptococcus agalactiae. 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) my 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.

No
The description focuses on standard microbiological techniques and automated reading of growth, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for interpretation or analysis beyond basic growth detection and MIC calculation.

No.
The device is a laboratory aid for determining in vitro susceptibility to antimicrobial agents, not for directly treating a condition.

Yes

The device aids in determining in vitro susceptibility to antimicrobial agents, providing an MIC value and interpretive category result, which are diagnostic information for guiding treatment.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical card (VITEK 2 AST Cards) and a system (VITEK 2 System) that handles, incubates, and reads these cards. This involves significant hardware components beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it is "designed for antimicrobial susceptibility testing" and is a "laboratory aid in the determination of in vitro susceptibility to antimicrobial agents." This clearly indicates it is used to test samples in vitro (outside the body) to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The description details how the device works by testing bacterial isolates in a laboratory setting using a microdilution methodology. This is a standard technique for in vitro diagnostic testing.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies compare the device's performance to a "microbroth dilution reference method," which is a common reference standard for in vitro diagnostic tests. The metric used, "Essential Agreement," is also a typical measure of performance for antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
  • Predicate Device: The predicate device listed is also a "Susceptibility Test," further reinforcing that this type of device falls under the category of in vitro diagnostics.

All these factors align with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 866.1645 Fully automated short-term incubation cycle antimicrobial susceptibility system.

(a)
Identification. A fully automated short-term incubation cycle antimicrobial susceptibility system is a device that incorporates concentrations of antimicrobial agents into a system for the purpose of determining in vitro susceptibility of bacterial pathogens isolated from clinical specimens. Test results obtained from short-term (less than 16 hours) incubation are used to determine the antimicrobial agent of choice to treat bacterial diseases.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is FDA's guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST) Systems; Guidance for Industry and FDA.”
