Device Description
The BD Phoenix Automated Microbiology System (Phoenix System) is an automated system for the rapid identification (ID) and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of clinically relevant bacterial isolates. The system includes the following components: - . BD Phoenix instrument and software. - BD Phoenix panels containing biochemicals for organism ID testing and antimicrobial agents for AST . determinations. - BD Phoenix ID Broth used for performing ID tests and preparing AST Broth inoculum. . - BD Phoenix AST Broth used for performing AST tests only. . - BD Phoenix AST Indicator solution added to the AST Broth to aid in bacterial growth determination. . The Phoenix panel is a sealed and self-inoculating molded polystyrene tray with 136 micro-wells containing dried reagents. Organisms for susceptibility testing must be a pure culture and preliminarily identified as a Gram-negative or Gram-positive isolate. Phoenix panels are inoculated with a specified organism density and placed into the instrument. Inoculum for use with the Phoenix system may be prepared either manually or may be automated using the BD PhoenixTM AP System. The Phoenix AST method is a broth based microdilution test. The Phoenix System utilizes a redox indicator for the detection of organism growth in the presence of an antimicrobial agent. Measurements of changes to the indicator as well as bacterial turbidity are used in the determination of bacterial growth. Each AST panel configuration contains several antimicrobial agents with a wide range of two-fold doubling dilution concentrations. The instrument houses the panels where they are continuously incubated at a nominal temperature of 35° ± 19C. The instrument takes readings of the panels every 20 minutes. The readings are interpreted to give an identification of the isolate, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values and category interpretations, S, I, R or N (susceptible, intermediate, resistant or not susceptible).
More Information

VITEK® System (PMA No. N50510)

No
The document describes an automated microbiology system that uses a broth microdilution method and a redox indicator to determine bacterial growth and susceptibility. While it uses an "algorithm" for interpretation, there is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related concepts. The performance evaluation focuses on agreement with reference methods, not on training or testing AI/ML models.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device used for identifying microorganisms and determining their antimicrobial susceptibility, rather than providing direct therapeutic treatment to a patient.

Yes

The device is intended for the "in vitro quantitative determination of antimicrobial susceptibility by minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC)" and provides "identification of the isolate, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values and category interpretations, S, I, R or N (susceptible, intermediate, resistant or not susceptible)", which are all diagnostic functions determining the presence, absence, or characteristics of a disease or condition.

No

The device is described as an automated system that includes hardware components (instrument, panels, broths, indicator solution) in addition to software. While the submission focuses on a software modification, the overall device is not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the system is intended for "in vitro quantitative determination of antimicrobial susceptibility by minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC)..." and "in vitro quantitative determination of antimicrobial susceptibility...". The term "in vitro" is a key indicator of an IVD.
  • Device Description: The description details a system that analyzes biological samples (bacterial isolates from pure culture) outside of the body using reagents and instruments to provide diagnostic information (antimicrobial susceptibility).
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies involve testing bacterial isolates and comparing the results to reference methods, which is typical for validating an IVD.

The device performs tests on biological samples in vitro (outside the living organism) to provide information about the susceptibility of bacteria to antimicrobial agents, which is used for diagnostic purposes in a clinical setting.

Site Reproducibility

Intra- and inter-site reproducibility of this antimicrobial agent in the BD Phoenix System was evaluated at three sites using a panel of Gram-positive isolates. Each site tested the isolates in triplicate on three different days using one lot of Gram Positive Phoenix panels containing this antimicrobial agent and associated reagents.

Clinical Studies

Clinical, stock and challenge isolates were tested across multiple geographically diverse sites across the United States to demonstrate the performance of the Phoenix antimicrobial susceptibility test with a Gram Positive Phoenix Panel containing this antimicrobial agent. Phoenix System results for Challenge set isolates were compared to the expected results. Phoenix System results for clinical isolates were compared to the results obtained from the CLSI reference broth microdilution method.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System demonstrated substantially equivalent performance for inoculum prepared manually and inoculum prepared with the BD Phoenix™ AP instrument when compared with the CLSI reference broth microdilution method. This premarket notification is for a modification of a portion of the algorithm for Vancomycin (0.5-32 µg/mL) with Enterococcus species and Staphylococcus species and updates for software from the last software cleared by FDA under K040099 through software version 6.01.

The results of the reproducibility study demonstrate that for this antimicrobial agent and the Gram-positive organisms tested there was an overall reproducibility across test sites of greater than 95% (+/- 1 dilution) agreement when compared to the test mode.

The performance of the Phoenix System was assessed by calculating Essential Agreement (EA) and Category Agreement (CA) to expected/reference results for all isolates tested. Essential Agreement (EA) occurs when the BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System agrees exactly or within + one two-fold dilution to the reference result. Category Agreement (CA) occurs when the BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System agrees with the reference method with respect to the FDA categorical interpretive criteria (susceptible, intermediate, resistant or not susceptible).

For Vancomycin (0.5-32 µg/mL): EA (n) = 1538, EA (%) = 99.0, CA (n) = 1538, CA (%) = 99.6.
