Intended Use

The FilmArray Blood Culture Identification (BCID) Panel is a qualitative multiplexed nucleic acid-based in vitro diagnostic test intended for use with the FilmArray Instrument. The FilmArray BCID Panel is capable of simultaneous detection and identification of multiple bacterial and yeast nucleic acids and select genetic determinants of antimicrobial resistance. The BCID assay is performed directly on blood culture samples identified as positive by a continuous monitoring blood culture system that demonstrates the presence of organisms as determined by Gram stain.

The following gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria, and yeast are identified using the FilmArray BCID Panel: Enterococci, Listeria monocytogenes, commonly encountered Staphylococci (including specific differentiation of Staphylococcus aureus), commonly encountered Streptococci (with specific differentiation of Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Streptococcus pyogenes), Acinetobacter baumannii, commonly encountered Enterobacteriaceae (including specific differentiation of the Enterobacter cloacae complex, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella oxytoca, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus, and Serratia marcescens), Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria meningitidis (encapsulated), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida krusei, Candida parapsilosis, and Candida tropicalis.

The FilmArray BCID Panel also contains assays for the detection of genetic determinants of resistance to methicillin (mecA), vancomycin (vanA and vanB), and carbapenems (blaKPC) to aid in the identification of potentially antimicrobial resistant organisms in positive blood culture samples. The antimicrobial resistance gene detected may or may not be associated with the agent responsible for disease. Negative results for these select antimicrobial resistance gene assays do not indicate susceptibility, as multiple mechanisms of resistance to methicillin, vancomycin, and carbapenems exist.

FilmArray BCID is indicated as an aid in the diagnosis of specific agents of bacteremia and fungemia and results should be used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings. Positive FilmArray results do not rule out co-infection with organisms not included in the FilmArray BCID Panel. FilmArray BCID is not intended to monitor treatment for bacteremia or fungemia.

Subculturing of positive blood cultures is necessary to recover organisms for susceptibility testing and epidemiological typing, to identify organisms in the blood culture that are not detected by the FilmArray BCID Panel, and for species determination of some Staphylococci, Enterococci, Streptococci, and Enterobacteriaceae that are not specifically identified by the FilmArray BCID Panel assays.

Device Description

The FilmArray Blood Culture Identification (BCID) Panel is a multiplex nucleic acid test designed to be used with the FilmArray Instrument. The FilmArray BCID pouch contains freeze-dried reagents to perform nucleic acid purification and nested, multiplex PCR with DNA melt analysis. The FilmArray Blood Culture Identification (BCID) Panel simultaneously tests a single positive blood culture sample to provide results for 24 different organisms and organism groups that cause bloodstream infections and three genetic markers that are known to confer antimicrobial resistance (see Table 1).

A test is initiated by loading Hydration Solution and a positive blood culture sample mixed with the provided Sample Buffer into the FilmArray BCID pouch. The pouch contains all of the reagents required for specimen testing and analysis in a freeze-dried format; the addition of Hydration Solution and Sample/Buffer Mix rehydrates the reagents. After the pouch is prepared, the FilmArray Software guides the user though the steps of placing the pouch into the instrument, scanning the pouch barcode, entering the sample identification, and initiating the run.

The FilmArray Instrument contains a coordinated system of inflatable bladders and seal points, which act on the pouch to control the movement of liquid between the pouch blisters. When a bladder is inflated over a reagent blister. it forces liquid from the blister into connecting channels. Alternatively, when a seal is placed over a connecting channel it acts as a valve to open or close a channel. In addition, electronically controlled pneumatic pistons are positioned over multiple plungers in order to deliver the rehydrated reagents into the blisters at the appropriate times. Two Peltier devices control heating and cooling of the pouch to drive the PCR reactions and the melt curve analysis.

Nucleic acid extraction occurs within the FilmArray pouch using mechanical lysis and standard magnetic bead technology. After extracting and purifying nucleic acids from the unprocessed sample, the FilmArray performs a nested multiplex PCR that is exceuted in two stages. During the first stage, the FilmArray performs a single, large volume, highly multiplexed PCR reaction which includes all primers of the outer primer sets. The products from first stage PCR are then diluted and combined with a fresh, primer-free master mix and a fluorescent double stranded DNA binding dye (LC Green Plus-, BioFire Diagnostics). The solution is then distributed to each well of the array. Array wells contain sets of primers designed specifically to amplify sequences internal to the PCR products generated during the first stage PCR reaction. The 200 stage PCR, or nested PCR, is performed in singleplex fashion in each well of the array. At the conclusion of the 2" stage PCR, the array is interrogated by melt curve analysis for the detection of signature amplicons denoting the presence of specific targets. A digital camera placed in front of the 2nd stage PCR captures fluorescent images of the PCR reactions and software interprets the data.

The FilmArray Software automatically interprets the results of each DNA melt curve analysis and combines the data with the results of the internal pouch controls to provide a test result for each organism and antimicrobial resistance gene on the panel.

2. Sample Sizes and Data Provenance for the Test Set:

  • Total Test Set Sample Size: 2207 blood cultures
    • Prospective Arm: 1568 specimens
      • 67 specimens excluded (e.g., >8 hours past positivity, incomplete reference data, previous specimen from same subject).
      • Tested either fresh (821 specimens) or frozen (747 specimens).
    • Seeded Arm: 639 specimens
      • 77 cultures excluded (e.g., >8 hours past positivity, not positive by automated blood culture, contaminated).
      • Tested either fresh (419 specimens) or frozen (220 specimens).
  • Data Provenance: The study was a "two-armed clinical study" conducted at eight U.S. clinical sites. This indicates the data is prospective for the clinical arm and retrospective/contrived for the seeded arm (as isolates were seeded into blood culture bottles).

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth - Test Set:

The document does not explicitly state the number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set, nor their specific qualifications (e.g., "radiologist with 10 years of experience").

Instead, the ground truth for organism detection was established using "Standard manual and automated microbiological/biochemical identification methods." For Acinetobacter baumannii, this was supplemented with "16S PCR with bi-directional sequencing."

For antimicrobial resistance genes, the ground truth involved "PCR with bi-directional sequencing for specific resistance gene - direct from blood culture" or "PCR with bi-directional sequencing for specific resistance gene from - appropriate cultured isolates." Additionally, "Standard manual and automated phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing of appropriate cultured isolates" was performed for informational purposes.

While these are standard laboratory methods typically performed by trained microbiologists or laboratory technicians, the number and specific qualifications of the experts overseeing or performing these reference methods are not detailed.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

The document does not explicitly describe an adjudication method (like 2+1 or 3+1) for discrepant results in the test set.

However, the detailed tables of results often include footnotes explaining discrepancies. For instance, for Acinetobacter baumannii, isolates misidentified by phenotypic methods were subjected to 16S PCR and bi-directional sequencing for definitive characterization. Similarly, for other organisms and resistance genes, bidirectional sequencing was used to investigate false positive and false negative results. This implies an investigative process to reconcile differences, rather than a formal, predefined expert adjudication panel for every case.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

A Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was NOT done for this device. The study evaluated the standalone performance of the FilmArray BCID Panel against reference laboratory methods, not its impact on human reader performance or diagnostic accuracy with AI assistance.

6. Standalone Performance Study:

Yes, a standalone study was performed. The entire "Clinical Performance" section (Tables 6-10) reports the performance of the FilmArray BCID Panel as a standalone diagnostic device. The results (sensitivity, specificity, PPA, NPA) are presented for the algorithm/device only, without human-in-the-loop interaction, compared against established laboratory reference methods. The "Reproducibility" section also evaluates the device's technical consistency in a standalone capacity.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

The ground truth primarily used was:

  • Expert Consensus/Reference Laboratory Methods:
    • Standard manual and automated microbiological/biochemical identification methods for all organism detections.
    • 16S PCR with bi-directional sequencing for A. baumannii speciation.
    • PCR with bi-directional sequencing for antimicrobial resistance gene detection (from blood culture or cultured isolates).
  • Pathology: Not explicitly mentioned as a primary ground truth for organism identification in this context, which focuses on molecular/microbial identification.
  • Outcomes Data: Not used as ground truth for diagnostic accuracy in this study.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

The document does not explicitly specify a sample size for a "training set." The studies primarily focus on clinical validation (prospective and seeded arms) and analytical validation (inclusivity, exclusivity, reproducibility). While the device's algorithm undoubtedly relies on an underlying model, information regarding its specific training data and size is not provided in this regulatory submission summary. The inclusivity studies involve testing a "diverse collection of 303 isolates," which could be considered part of the data informing the assay's design and optimization, but it's not explicitly labeled as a "training set" in the context of a machine learning model.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

As the document does not explicitly identify a "training set" in the context of a machine learning model with corresponding ground truth establishment, this information is not provided. The inclusivity and exclusivity studies, which evaluate the assay's breadth and specificity, likely contribute to the "training" or development of the assay's detection capabilities. The ground truth for these analytical studies was established by known characteristics of the isolates (e.g., ATCC strains, clinical isolates with confirmed identity), and confirmed through standard microbiological identification and sequencing methods.

Summary of Performance Data

Clinical Performance

The clinical performance of the FilmArray BCID Panel was established during a two armed clinical study which was conducted at eight U.S. clinical sites over an eight month time period. The study included a prospective residual blood culture arm and a seeded blood culture arm. In the prospective arm, 1635 prospectively-collected residual blood culture samples (pediatric and adult) were initially included in the study. Sixty-seven (67) specimens were excluded from the study. The most common reasons for exclusion were that the specimens were >8 hours past positivity, incomplete reference/comparator data were provided, or the specimen was from a subject who had a previous specimen included in the study. In the seeded culture arm, analytes proven to be of low prevalence in the prospective arm were evaluated by seeding previously characterized isolates into blood culture bottles and incubating until positivity. A total of 716 seeded cultures were initiated for the study. Seventy-seven (77) cultures were excluded from the study. The most common reasons for exclusion were that the specimens were >8 hours past positivity, the seeded culture was not called positive by the automated blood culture system. or the culture was contaminated or inconsistent with the intended seed organism. The final specimen set consisted of 2207 blood cultures (1568 prospective and 639 seeded). All cultures were grown in Becton Dickinson BACTECTM Plus Aerobic/F Medium. Table 4 provides a summary of demographic information for the 1568 specimens included in the prospective arm of the study.

6 Performance of FilmArray BCID as compared to phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed for informational purposes. The phenotypic methods were performed in accordance with current CLSI criteria.

A total of 2207 blood culture specimens (1568 prospective and 639 seeded) were evaluated in the FilmArray BCID clinical evaluation. Specimens were tested by FilmArray BCID either fresh or from frozen aliquots. A total of 1240 specimens were tested fresh (821 prospective and 419 seeded) and 967 specimens were tested frozen (747 prospective and 220 seeded). Clinical sensitivity or positive percent agreement (PPA) was calculated as 100% x (TP/TP + FN). True positive (TP) indicates that both FilmArray BCID and the reference/comparator method had a positive result for a specific

analyte, and false negative (FN) indicates that the FilmArray BCID result was negative while the reference/comparator method was positive. Clinical specificity or negative percent agreement (NPA) was calculated as 100% x (TN/TN + FP). True negative (TN) indicates that both FilmArray BCID and the reference/comparator method had a negative result for a specific analyte, and false positive (FP) indicates that the FilmArray BCID result was positive while the reference/comparator method was negative. The exact binomial two-sided 95% confidence interval was calculated. The results are summarized in Tables 6 - 10.

{8}------------------------------------------------

A. baunamii by phenotypic methods were identified by bidirectional sequencials (genomospecies 13; 4 isolates), A bereziniae, and A. radioresistens; these 6 isolates did not cross-react with the A. baumannii assay.

5 One false positive and one false negatively in sequentially-tested specimens and may be due to sample mix-up. One isslate from another false negative speciment as E. coll by phenotypic methods, was identified as Pasteurella, and not E. coli, by bidirectional sequencing.

4 One false positive and one false negative E. coli were in sequentially-tested specimens and may be due to sample mix-up.

  • Bidirectional sequencing identified 4/5 isolates from false negative K. axyoca species, Rapollella ornithinolvica, and not K. oxyloca. The misidentification is a known limitation of phenotypic testing methods for this species.

The isolate from one false negative K. preunen was identified as the closely related organism, Routella and not K. preunoniae, 69 false positive K. pneumoniae results appear to be due to cross-reactivity with Entercobacter and Roulella ornithinolytica (misidentified as K. oxytoca by phenotypic methods).

8 Bidirectional sequencing identified the isolative S. marcescens specimen as being in the S. proteonucallans(grimesii group and not S. marcescens. The one false S. marcescens result uppears to be due to cross-reactivity with Raoulella ornithinolyica (misidentified as K. oxytoca by phenotypic methods).

" Bidirectional sequencing identified the isolate P. aeraginosa specimen as the closely related species Bendomonas stutzeri and not P. aeruginosu.

b Bidirectional sequencing identified the isolative C. parapsilosis specimens as being the closely related species C. metapsilosis. This misidentification is a known limitation of phenotypic identification methods,

As the antimicrobial resistance gene results are not reported in the absence of a presumptively associated organism, performance was calculated only for samples in which FilmArray BCID detected an appropriate organism. Performance was calculated separately against the two comparator methods; PCR/sequencing direct from the blood culture specimens and PCR/sequencing from organisms isolated from the blood cultures. When comparing to PCR/sequencing from bacterial isolates, performance was only calculated for specimens in which FilmArray BCID detected an appropriate organism and from which an appropriate organism isolate was obtained (i.e., antimicrobial resistance gene results could be obtained for both methods). The NPA for mecA and vanA/B are lower when comparing to PCR/sequencing from bacterial isolates than to

{9}------------------------------------------------

PCR/sequencing direct from blood culture primarily due to the reference methods not isolating a resistant clone of an applicable organism. This may be due to heterogeneous resistance within a population of cultured organisms or co-culturing of multiple indistinguishable applicable organisms with different resistance profiles (e.g., culturing a resistant Staphylococcus along with a sensitive Staphylococcus).

"Isolates for 12 Staphylococi, 4 Enterobacteriaceae/A. bannamii/P. aeruginosa did not grow from the subcultured blood culture and could therefore not be tested with the PCR/bi-directional sequencing method. These blood cultures were considered negative for the antimicabial resistance genes by comparator method, and FilmArray performance has been calculated as True Negative (when FilmArray is negative for the analyte) or False Positive for the analyte) for the analyte) for each of these isolates.

Performance of FilmArray BCID as compared to phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) results was calculated for informational purposes. Results stratified by AST method are presented in Tables 11-13. Some PPA are lower when comparing results from bacterial isolates than to PCR/sequencing direct from blood culture because phenotypic AST testing is capable of detecting antimicrobial resistance due to mechanisms other than acquisition of mecA, vanA/B, or KPC.

FilmArray BCID reported a total of 81 prospective specimens with discernible multiple organism detections (5.2% of all prospective specimens; 81/1568). The majority of multiple detections (74/81; 91.3%) contained two discernible organisms, while 6.2% (5/81) contained three discernible organisms, and 2.5% (2/81) contained four discernible organisms. The most prevalent multiple detection was Enterococcus with Staphylococcus (S. aureus not detected) (1.3% of all specimens; 20/1568). Out of the 81 polymicrobial specimens, 29 contained one or more analytes that had not been detected with the reference/comparator methods, i.e., discrepant result.

Selected Analytic Studies

Growth and Detection

A study was performed to establish the range of expected organism concentrations in blood cultures that would be tested with the FilmArray BCID Panel from the time of positivity up to eight hours after positivity. All organism growth and testing was performed using seeded blood culture bottles (BACTECTM Plus Aerobic/F Medium incubated in the BACTEC™ 9050 continuously monitoring blood culture instrument). Each microorganism was mixed with human whole blood and seeded directly into blood culture bottles for growth. At the time of positivity (and/or eight hours after positivity), the blood culture was removed from the instrument for plate enumeration (determination of CFU/mL) and FilmArray BCID testing. Three independent positive cultures (bottles) were evaluated for each organism at each time point and FilmArray testing was performed in triplicate for each bottle.

Table 22 summarizes the concentration of organism (CFU/mL) determined for a representative panel of 30 isolates. The number and percent of correct positive BCID Panel test results is provided for each isolate and overall (% Detected). A correct result means that both the correct organism and antimicrobial resistance gene (where applicable) were detected in the sample.

" In addition to the correct results (Sreptococus, Sreptococus agadactiae, Haenophilus influenzae, Neisseria neningitids, and Candida krase) were observed in a single run (1/540; 0.2%), The correct results were obtained when retested.

Inclusivity

Analytical reactivity (inclusivity) of the BCID Panel was evaluated in a study that assessed the ability of the BCID Panel to detect a diverse collection of 303 isolates of genetically, phenotypically, and geographically diverse bacteria and yeast, and to properly indicate the presence of four different antimicrobial resistance genes.

Each isolate was initially tested in blood culture matrix at a concentration consistent with the levels of organism enumerated from blood cultures at the time of positivity (see Growth and Detection section above). If the expected result was obtained at the injual test level, no further testing was performed. If an isolate was not detected initially, additional testing was performed at 10-100 fold higher concentrations. If detected at the higher concentration(s), the species/isolate is indicated as detected with reduced sensitivity and the concentration of organism that was detected is indicated. If not detected at the highest concentration, the isolate is listed as not detected by the FilmArray BCID Panel. Results are provided below for each FilmArray BCID Panel test result.

When possible, in silico analysis of sequence data was used to make predictions of assay reactivity for less common species that may be detected by the FilmArray BCID Panel but were not tested.

^ Other isolates which carry the KPC gene (i.e. Acineobacer baumamii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Entervacere other than those listed above) were not evaluated.

Exclusivity

The potential for cross-reactivity with BCID Panel assays was evaluated by testing high concentrations of organism in contrived or seeded blood culture samples. The test concentration was equal to or greater than the level of organism estimated to be in a blood culture sample 8 hours after positivity (approximately 10°-10" CFU/mL for bacteria and 10'-10° CFU/mL for yeast), or the highest concentration possible based on the organism stock. The selection of organisms focused on species that may be found in positive blood cultures (clinically relevant) and/or those that are closely related to target organisms (nearest neighbors). Organisms were also selected based on antimicrobial resistance phenotypes and the presence or absence of the antimicrobial resistance genes identified by the BCID Panel. The tested organisms were divided into two categories: onpanel organisms and off-panel organisms.

On-panel organisms were tested to verify that they only react with the appropriate assays on the panel. On-panel exclusivity testing included gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria and yeast, representing 29 genera and 98 individual species.

Off-panel organisms were expected to have negative test results for all of the assays on the FilmArray BCID Panel (or positive organism results but negative results for the

{37}------------------------------------------------

antimicrobial resistance genes detected by the FilmArray BCID Panel). Off-panel testing included gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria, yeast, viruses, and Mycoplasmataceae.

Results are presented for all organisms that were tested and received the expected FilmArray BCID Panel test result(s) (no cross-reactivity, Tables 53 - 57), followed by a summary of species or isolates with which cross-reactivity was observed (Table 59).

  • Cross-reactivity was not observed in this study but is predicted by in silico analysis to occur only with some species (i.e. S epidermis, S. capitis and S. haemolyticus) when present in a sample at very high levels. This cross-cacivity was observed infrequently in pre-analytical studies and the clinited occurrence of -0.2% of all prospective patient samples).

b Acinelobacer calcoaceticus-baunanni (ACB) complex species are often mis-identified as A. baumamii by autonuslus microbial identification methods.

SCross-cactivity was not observed when ATCC 31898 was tested in the inclusivity study at a concentration ~1x10° CFU/mL, but cross-reactivity was observed in clinical cultures containing R. ornithinolytica.

d Cross-reactivity was observed only at high organism concentration (≥10° CFU/mL); rare human pathogens.

e Pseudomonas putida is a rare opportunistic pathogen.

4 No cross-reactivity observed with five other Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates tested at ≥10° CFU/mL.

8 Haemophilus haemolyticus is a commensal organism of the respiratory tract that is rarely isolated from blood culture.

  • Candida orthopsilosis is mis-identified as C. parapsilosis by automated and manual microbial identification methods.

Reproducibility

A multicenter reproducibility study was performed to determine between-site and overall reproducibility of the BCID Panel. Reproducibility testing occurred at three test sites using a panel of six simulated blood culture specimens, each spiked with various

{41}------------------------------------------------

combinations of two different organisms (analytes). To best represent the composition of specimens likely to be tested by the BCID Panel, half of the analytes were at a concentration consistent with the level of organism in a blood culture bottle at the time of positivity, and half of the analytes were at a concentration similar to that observed in bottles eight hours after positivity (see Growth and Detection above). Negative results for each assay were obtained from samples that were not spiked with a corresponding organism (analyte not in the sample).

The data incorporate a range of potential variation introduced by seven different operators, three different pouch lots, and ten different FilmArray Instruments. Every specimen was tested on eight different days, for a total of 90 replicates per analyte. A summary of results (percent (%) agreement with the expected result) for each analyte is provided in the following tables.

Interference

Substances that could be present in blood culture samples or introduced during sample handling were evaluated for their potential to interfere with assay performance. A potentially interfering substance (see Table 63) was added to a simulated positive acrobic blood culture sample which contained simulated blood culture matrix (human whole blood that had been incubated in a blood culture bottle) and one of six different organism mixes. Each organism mix contained two live pathogens at a concentration equivalent to the level determined to be present when a blood culture bottle is detected as positive by the blood culture instrument. None of the substances tested were found to compete or interfere with the assays in the BCID Panel.

Indications for Use

K130914 510(k) Number (if known): Device Name: FilmArray Blood Culture Identification (BCID) Panel

The FilmArray Blood Culture Identification (BCID) Panel is a qualitative multiplexed nucleic acid-based in vitro diagnostic test intended for use with the FilmArray Instrument. The FilmArray BCID Panel is capable of simultaneous detection and identification of multiple bacterial and yeast nucleic acids and select genetic determinants of antimicrobial resistance. The BCID assay is performed directly on blood culture samples identified as positive by a continuous monitoring blood culture system that demonstrates the presence of organisms as determined by Gram stain.

The following gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria, and yeast are identified using the FilmArray BCID Panel: Enterococci, Listeria monocytogenes, commonly encountered Staphylococci (including specific differentiation of Staphylococcus aureus), commonly encountered Streptococci (with specific differentiation of Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Streptococcus pyogenes), Acinetobacter baumannii, commonly encountered Enterobacteriaceae (including specific differentiation of the Enterobacter cloacae complex, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella oxytoca, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus, and Serratia marcescens), Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria meningitidis (encapsulated). Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, Candida glabrata. Candida krusei. Candida parapsilosis, and Candida tropicalis.

The FilmArray BCID Panel also contains assays for the detection of genetic determinants of resistance to methicillin (mecA), vancomycin (vanA and vanB), and carbapenems (blagg) to aid in the identification of potentially antimicrobial resistant organisms in positive blood culture samples. The antimicrobial resistance gene detected may or may not be associated with the agent responsible for disease. Negative results for these select antimicrobial resistance gene assays do not indicate susceptibility, as multiple mechanisms of resistance to methicillin, vancomycin, and carbapenems exist.

FilmArray BCID is indicated as an aid in the diagnosis of specific agents of bacteremia and fungemia and results should be used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings. Positive FilmArray results do not rule out co-infection with organisms not included in the FilmArray BCID Panel. FilmArray BCID is not intended to monitor treatment for bacteremia or fungemia.

Subculturing of positive blood cultures is necessary to recover organisms for susceptibility testing and epidemiological typing, to identify organisms in the blood culture that are not detected by the FilmArray BCID Panel, and for species determination of some Staphylococci, Enterococci, Streptococci, and Enterobacteriaceae that are not specifically identified by the FilmArray BCID Panel assays.

§ 866.3365 Multiplex nucleic acid assay for identification of microorganisms and resistance markers from positive blood cultures.

(a)
Identification. A multiplex nucleic acid assay for identification of microorganisms and resistance markers from positive blood cultures is a qualitative in vitro device intended to simultaneously detect and identify microorganism nucleic acids from blood cultures that test positive by Gram stain or other microbiological stains. The device detects specific nucleic acid sequences for microorganism identification as well as for antimicrobial resistance. This device aids in the diagnosis of bloodstream infections when used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings. However, the device does not replace traditional methods for culture and susceptibility testing.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is FDA's guideline document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guideline: Multiplex Nucleic Acid Assay for Identification of Microorganisms and Resistance Markers from Positive Blood Cultures.” For availability of the guideline document, see § 866.1(e).
