Intended Use
The Sensititre® AIM™ is intended for use with the Sensititre® MIC or BP Susceptibility Test System. The Sensititre® AIM™ is an instrument used to inoculate Sensititre® MIC or BP Susceptibility plates. The Sensititre MIC or Breakpoint Susceptibility System is an in vitro diagnostic product for clinical susceptibility testing of gram positive and fastidious organisms comprising of Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococci pneumoniae, other Streptococci spp. and Candida spp.
Device Description
The Sensititre AIM™ is a microprocessor controlled instrument that delivers inoculum in 50ul multiples to the Sensititre 96 well micro-titre plate. The user prepares the inoculum suspension in accordance with the package insert. A Sensititre disposable dosehead is affixed to the glass tube containing the final inoculum density which is placed into the AIM's pump assembly. The inoculum is then dispensed into the microtitre plates.

No
The summary describes a microprocessor-controlled instrument for inoculating plates, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would typically indicate the presence of such technologies.

No.
The device is described as an "in vitro diagnostic product" used for susceptibility testing, specifically to inoculate test plates. It does not directly treat or prevent any disease in a living organism.

No.
The Sensititre® AIM™ is an instrument used to inoculate susceptibility plates, which are then used for clinical susceptibility testing. It prepares samples for diagnostic testing, but is not a diagnostic device itself.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "microprocessor controlled instrument" and describes physical components like a "pump assembly" and "disposable dosehead," indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided text, the Sensititre® AIM™ itself is not an IVD.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use states that the Sensititre® AIM™ is an instrument used to inoculate Sensititre® MIC or BP Susceptibility plates. It's a tool for preparing the plates for testing.
  • Device Description: The description details how the instrument dispenses inoculum. It doesn't perform the diagnostic test itself.
  • IVD Definition: The text explicitly states that the Sensititre MIC or Breakpoint Susceptibility System is the in vitro diagnostic product. This system, which includes the plates inoculated by the AIM, is what performs the clinical susceptibility testing.

Therefore, the Sensititre® AIM™ is a component or accessory used in conjunction with an IVD (the Sensititre MIC or Breakpoint Susceptibility System), but it is not an IVD itself.

Dear Ms. Knapp:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket-approval-application-(PMA)-You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into class II (Special Controls), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
