Intended Use
The Cepheid Xpert™ MRSA/SA Blood Culture Assay performed on the GeneXpert® Dx System™ is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test intended for the detection of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) DNA directly from patient positive blood cultures. The assay utilizes automated real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the amplification of MRSA/SA specific DNA targets and fluorogenic target-specific hybridization probes for the real-time detection of the amplified DNA. The assay is performed directly on positive blood culture specimens using BD BACTEC™ Plus Aerobic/F blood culture bottles that are determined as Gram Positive Cocci in Clusters (GPCC) or as Gram Positive Cocci in singles (GPC) by Gram stain. The Xpert MRSA/SA Blood Culture Assay is indicated for use in conjunction with other laboratory tests, such as culture, and clinical data available to the clinician as an aid in the detection of MRSA/SA from patient positive blood cultures. Subculturing of positive blood cultures is necessary to recover organisms for susceptibility testing or for epidemiological typing. The Cepheid Xpert™ MRSA/SA Blood Culture Assay is not intended to monitor treatment for MRSA/SA infections. When an MRSA negative/SA positive result is obtained, the result should be interpreted as "MRSA indeterminate/SA Positive, antimicrobial susceptibility testing pending". Further testing should be performed using an FDA-cleared, phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing method on isolated colonies recovered from the blood culture bottle. MRSA positive results should be reported as such.
Device Description

No
The summary describes a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test using real-time PCR and hybridization probes. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or the specific sections for AI/ML information.

No
The device is described as a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test for detecting specific DNA targets, not for treating or rehabilitating patients.

Yes.
The document explicitly states that the device is a "qualitative in vitro diagnostic test" and is "intended for use in conjunction with other laboratory tests, such as culture, and clinical data available to the clinician as an aid in the detection of MRSA/SA."

No

The device is an in vitro diagnostic test that utilizes automated real-time PCR and fluorogenic probes, which are hardware components, and is performed on the GeneXpert Dx System, which is also a hardware system.

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

Here's why:

  • Explicitly stated in the Intended Use: The very first sentence of the "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section clearly states: "The Cepheid Xpert™ MRSA/SA Blood Culture Assay performed on the GeneXpert® Dx System™ is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test..."
  • Performed on patient specimens: The assay is performed directly on patient positive blood cultures, which are biological specimens taken from the human body.
  • Provides diagnostic information: The test is intended to detect the presence of specific DNA targets (MRSA/SA) to aid in the detection of these organisms, which is a diagnostic purpose.
  • Used in conjunction with other laboratory tests and clinical data: This further reinforces its role as a tool to assist in diagnosis.

The definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device is a medical device that is used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. This device fits that definition perfectly.

Device Intended Use:

The Cepheid Xpert™ MRSA/SA Blood Culture Assay performed on the GeneXpert® Dx System™ is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test intended for the detection of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) DNA directly from patient positive blood cultures. The assay utilizes automated realtime polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the amplification of MRSA/SA specific DNA targets and fluorogenic target-specific hybridization probes for the real-time detection of the amplified DNA.

Subculturing of positive blood cultures is necessary to recover organisms for susceptibility testing or for epidemiological typing. The Cepheid Xpert™ MRSA/SA Blood Culture Assay is not intended to monitor treatment for MRSA/SA infections.

When an MRSA negative/SA positive result is obtained, the result should be interpreted as "MRSA indeterminate/SA Positive, antimicrobial susceptibility testing pending". Further testing should be performed using an FDA-cleared, phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing method on isolated colonies recovered from the blood culture bottle. MRSA positive/SA Positive results should be reported as such.

Substantial Equivalence:

The Xpert MRSA/SA Blood Culture Assay is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (Xpert MRSA/SA Blood Culture Assay; 510(k) #K082140, cleared on September 9, 2008). The two devices are identical in composition and technological characteristics: the only changes that have been made to the new device are to the package insert, as directed by the agency. The primary change includes the addition of a warning box statement to the Intended Use Statement, with related labeling changes to support the warning statement. The intended use of the device to detect Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) DNA directly from patient positive blood cultures has not changed.

Conclusion:

The Xpert MRSA/SA Blood Culture Assay with the labeling modifications is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
