Intended Use
The MicroScan® Synergies plus™ Gram-Positive MIC/Combo Panel is used to determine quantitative and/or qualitative antimicrobial agent susceptibility of colonies grown on solid media of rapidly growing aerobic and facultative anaerobic gram-positive enterococci and staphylococci. After inoculation, panels are incubated for 4.5 - 18 hours at 35℃ +/- 1℃, in a WalkAway® SI, or equivalent, and read by the MicroScan® Instrumentation. Additionally, the panels may be incubated in a non-CO2 incubator and the Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) portions can be read visually, according to the Package Insert. This particular submission is for the addition of the antimicrobial linezolid, at concentrations of 0.5 to 16 ug/ml Long Dilution Sequence and 0.5 - 4 ug/ml 4-Dilution Breakpoint Sequence, for enterococci and staphylococci, to the test panel. The Gram-positive organisms which may be used for linezolid susceptibility testing in this panel are: Enterococcus faecium (vancomycin-resistant) Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-susceptible and methicillin-resistant)
Device Description
MicroScan® Synergies plus™ Gram-Positive MIC/Combo Panels, utilizing both the MicroScan® Rapid Fluorogenic Identification and Dried Overnight Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) technologies, are designed for use in determining quantitative and/or qualitative antimicrobial agent susceptibility of colonies grown on solid media of rapidly growing aerobic and facultative anaerobic Gram-positive enterococci and staphylococci. The antimicrobial susceptibility tests are miniaturizations of the broth dilution susceptibility test that have been diluted in water and dehydrated. Various antimicrobial agents are diluted in water, buffer, or minute concentrations of broth, to concentrations bridging the range of clinical interest. Panels are rehydrated with Synergies plus™ Pos Broth, after inoculation with a standardized suspension of the organism. After incubation in the WalkAway® SI, or equivalent, System, or equivalent, for 4.5 - 18 hours, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for the test organism is read by determining the lowest antimicrobial concentration showing inhibition of growth.

No
The document describes a traditional antimicrobial susceptibility testing panel and instrumentation, with no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No.
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) tool used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing, which provides information for diagnosis and treatment decisions but does not directly deliver therapy.

Yes

This device is used to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of bacterial colonies, which provides information to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of infections.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical panel ("MicroScan® Synergies plus™ Gram-Positive MIC/Combo Panels") that utilizes both identification and AST technologies. It is rehydrated, inoculated, incubated, and read by instrumentation or visually. This involves physical components and processes, not just software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the device is used to "determine quantitative and/or qualitative antimicrobial agent susceptibility of colonies grown on solid media of rapidly growing aerobic and facultative anaerobic gram-positive enterococci and staphylococci." This is a classic example of an in vitro diagnostic test, as it analyzes biological samples (bacterial colonies) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's condition (susceptibility to antibiotics).
  • Device Description: The description details how the device works by performing "miniaturizations of the broth dilution susceptibility test" and rehydrating dehydrated antimicrobial agents with a broth inoculated with the organism. This process is performed in vitro (in a lab setting) to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), which is a key diagnostic parameter for guiding antibiotic treatment.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies describe comparing the device's performance to a "frozen Reference panel" and evaluating "Efficacy isolates and stock Challenge strains." These are all standard practices for validating the performance of an IVD device.
  • Predicate Device(s): The listed predicate devices are also IVD panels used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

The entire context of the document describes a device designed to perform a diagnostic test on biological samples in a laboratory setting, which aligns perfectly with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
