Intended Use
VITEK® 2 Gram Positive Meropenem for Streptococcus pneumoniae is designed for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Streptococcus pneumoniae. VITEK 2 Gram Positive Meropenem for Streptococcus pneumoniae is a quantitative test. It is intended for use with the VITEK 2 and VITEK 2 Compact Systems as a laboratory aid in the determination of in vitro susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. The VITEK® 2 Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST) is intended to be used with the VITEK® 2 and VITEK® 2 Compact Systems for the automated quantitative or qualitative susceptibility testing of isolated colonies for the most clinically significant aerobic gramnegative bacilli, Staphylococcus spp., Enterococcus spp., Streptococcus agalactiae, and S. pneumoniae.
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 System automatically fills, seals and places the card into the incubator/reader. The VITEK 2 Compact has a manual filling and sealing operation. 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.
More Information

No
The description focuses on a traditional automated susceptibility testing method based on growth monitoring and comparison to a reference method, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device used in a laboratory setting to determine antimicrobial susceptibility, which aids in diagnosis and treatment decisions. It does not directly provide therapy.

Yes

Explanation: The device is intended for antimicrobial susceptibility testing and helps in determining in vitro susceptibility to antimicrobial agents, which are diagnostic processes for identifying appropriate treatments. It provides quantitative or qualitative susceptibility testing of isolated colonies for various bacteria.

No

The device description clearly details physical components like "AST Cards," "antimicrobial medium," and the "VITEK 2 System" and "VITEK 2 Compact" instruments which are hardware. The software is part of a larger hardware system.

Based on the provided information, 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 of Streptococcus pneumoniae" and is a "laboratory aid in the determination of in vitro susceptibility to antimicrobial agents." "In vitro" means "in glass" or "outside the body," which is a key characteristic of IVDs.
  • Device Description: The description details a test performed on a bacterial isolate (outside the body) using a miniaturized microdilution methodology to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). This process is conducted in a laboratory setting.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies compare the device's performance to a "CLSI broth microdilution reference method," which is a standard laboratory technique for in vitro testing.
  • Intended User / Care Setting: The intended user is described as a "laboratory aid," further indicating its use in a clinical laboratory setting for diagnostic purposes.

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

Device Description

VITEK® 2 Gram Positive Meropenem for Streptococcus pneumoniae is designed for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Streptococcus pneumoniae. It is intended for use with the VITEK 2 and VITEK® 2 Compact Systems 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 System automatically fills, seals and places the card into the incubator/reader. The VITEK 2 Compact has a manual filling and sealing operation.

Summary of Performance Studies

The external evaluations were designed to confirm the acceptability of VITEK 2 Gram Positive Meropenem for Streptococcus pneumoniae by comparing its performance with the CLSI broth microdilution reference method. The data is representative of performance on both the VITEK 2 and VITEK 2 Compact instrument platforms, as evidenced in the AST equivalency study presented in the VITEK 2 Compact 510(k), K050002.

§ 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.”
