No
The description focuses on traditional broth dilution susceptibility testing and instrumentation for reading results, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
The device is used to determine the susceptibility of microorganisms to antimicrobial agents (antimicrobial susceptibility testing), not to treat diseases or conditions.
Yes
The device determines the susceptibility of microorganisms to antimicrobial agents, which provides information crucial for diagnosing and guiding treatment for infections.
No
The device is a physical panel containing dried antimicrobial agents and is used in conjunction with instrumentation (WalkAway® SZ, or equivalent) for incubation and reading. It is not solely software.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The device is explicitly 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 performs "miniaturizations of the broth dilution susceptibility test," which is a standard laboratory technique for determining antimicrobial susceptibility. This further confirms its use in a diagnostic setting.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies compare the device's results to a "frozen Reference panel," which is a common practice for validating the accuracy of IVD tests. The metric used, "Essential Agreement," is also a standard measure for evaluating the performance of AST systems.
- Predicate Device(s): The listed predicate devices are also MicroScan panels used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing, reinforcing the classification of this device as an IVD.
The device is designed to be used in a laboratory setting (indicated by the mention of incubators, WalkAway® systems, and visual reading according to a Package Insert) to provide diagnostic information about bacterial susceptibility to antibiotics. This aligns perfectly with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for 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°C +/- 1°C, in a WalkAway® SZ, or equivalent, and read by the MicroScan® Instrumentation. Additionally, the panels may be incubated in a non-CO2incubator 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 nitrofurantoin, at concentrations of 2 to 256 ug/ml, for enterococci and staphylococci, to the test panel.
The gram-positive organisms which may be used for nitrofurantoin susceptibility testing in this panel are:
Enterococcus species Staphylococcus aureus

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, 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.

The external validation was conducted with fresh and stock Efficacy isolates and stock Challenge strains. The external validations were designed to confirm the acceptability of the proposed Synergies plus™ Gram-Positive Panel by comparing its performance with a frozen Reference panel. Challenge strains were compared to Expected Results determined prior to the evaluation.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The proposed MicroScan® Synergies plus™ Gram-Positive MIC/Combo Panel demonstrated substantially equivalent performance when compared with a frozen Reference Panel, as defined in the FDA document "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST) Systems; Guidance for Industry and FDA", dated February 5, 2003. The Premarket Notification (510[k]) presents data in support of the MicroScan® Synergies plus™ Gram-Positive MIC/Combo Panel with nitrofurantoin. The Synergies plus™ Gram-Positive Panel demonstrated acceptable performance with an overall Essential Agreement of 98.8% for nitrofurantoin when compared with the frozen Reference panel.

(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.”
