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 staphylococci and enterococci. 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 vancomycin, at concentrations of 0.25 to 64 ug/ml, to the test panel. The gram-positive organisms which may be used for vancomycin susceptibility testing in this panel are: - Enterococcus spp. (e.g., Enterococcus faecalis) . - Staphylococcus spp. ● - Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-resistant strains) . - Staphylococcus epidermidis (including methicillin-resistant ● strains)
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 antimicrobial agent susceptibility of colonies grown on solid media of rapidly growing and facultative anaerobic gram-positive staphylococci and enterococci. 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 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.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a standard antimicrobial susceptibility testing panel and instrumentation, with no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The focus is on the chemical and biological reactions and the reading of results by instrumentation or visually.

No.
This device is an in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) device used to determine the susceptibility of certain gram-positive bacteria to antimicrobial agents, not a therapeutic device for treating patients.

Yes

The device determines quantitative and/or qualitative antimicrobial agent susceptibility of bacterial colonies, which is a diagnostic function used to guide treatment by identifying the effectiveness of antibiotics against specific pathogens.

No

The device is a physical panel with dried antimicrobial agents that is inoculated with a bacterial suspension and incubated. While instrumentation is used to read the results, the core device is a physical diagnostic test panel, not software.

Based on the provided text, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The device is used to determine the susceptibility of microorganisms (bacteria) to antimicrobial agents. This is a classic function of an in vitro diagnostic device, as it involves testing biological samples (bacterial colonies) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis and treatment decisions.
  • Device Description: The description details a miniaturized broth dilution susceptibility test, which is a common method used in clinical microbiology laboratories for AST. This process is performed in vitro.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies compare the device's results to a reference method (CLSI frozen Reference panel), which is standard practice for validating IVD devices. The metrics reported (Essential Agreement) are also typical for AST IVDs.

The device is clearly designed to be used in a laboratory setting to analyze biological samples (bacterial cultures) to provide information about their characteristics (antimicrobial susceptibility), which directly aligns with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
