Intended Use
The Greiner Vacuette Urine Count and Culture, Mannitol tube is a urine stabilization device intended for collection, transport and storage of urine for bacterial and yeast culture. Urine samples collected in the Greiner Vacuette Urine Count and Culture, Mannitol tube can be stored at 20-25°C for up to 48 h prior to culture. This device is intended for professional use only.
Device Description
Vacuette Urine CCM tubes are tubes made of PET with a pre-defined vacuum to exact draw volumes. They are fitted with yellow Vacuette Safety Caps. The tube interior is sterile. The evacuated tube contains a fine particle granulate stabilizer to preserve the urine sample at 20-25°C for up to 48 hours. The stabilizer helps to preserve and protect the level of bacteria at collection and maintain typically formed elements in urine sediment.

No
The summary describes a urine collection and stabilization device, not a system that processes data or images using AI/ML. The testing described focuses on the device's ability to preserve microbial viability, not on algorithmic performance.

No.
The device is a urine stabilization device intended for collection, transport, and storage of urine for bacterial and yeast culture, which is for diagnostic purposes, not therapeutic intervention.

No

The device is a urine stabilization device for collection, transport, and storage of urine for bacterial and yeast culture; it does not perform diagnostic analysis of the sample.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical tube made of PET with a vacuum and contains a granulate stabilizer, indicating it is a hardware device for sample collection and preservation, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it is for "collection, transport and storage of urine for bacterial and yeast culture." This is a diagnostic purpose, as the culture is performed to identify the presence and type of microorganisms in the urine, which aids in diagnosing infections.
  • Device Description: The device is designed to stabilize the urine sample and preserve the bacteria and formed elements, ensuring the sample is suitable for subsequent diagnostic testing (culture).
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies describe testing the device's ability to maintain the viability and recovery of microorganisms for microbiological testing, which is a key aspect of in vitro diagnostics.
  • Predicate Device: The predicate device listed (BD Vacutainer Plus Plastic Urine C&S Tube) is also an IVD device used for similar diagnostic purposes.

The device is used in vitro (outside the body) to prepare a sample for a diagnostic test (culture). Therefore, it falls under the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

Testing was performed for the suitability of Greiner CCM tube as sampling and transport system for microbiological specimen using procedures outlined in the Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) M40-A2 Quality Control of Microbiological Transport Systems. Viability and recovery testing was performed with recommendation from M40-A2 and FDA. ATCC cultures from 10 potential pathogens of Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Streptococcus agalactiae, Candida albicans. Candida glabrata were used to spike sterile filtered urine to 10° and 10° cfu/ml. All analyses were performed in triplicates at room temperature and refrigerated temperature.

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

The GBO CCM tube fulfills the requirements set in the CLSI standard M40-A2, "Quality Control of Microbiological Transport Systems" demonstrating that the recovered organism are within +/- 1 log from the original spiked concentration is considered acceptable performance. The data provided shows that acceptable performance was demonstrated for all organisms tested.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

recovered organism are within +/- 1 log from the original spiked concentration is considered acceptable performance.

The intended use of the Greiner Vacuette Urine CCM tube is similar to the predicate device. Both devices are intended for the collection and storage of urine samples for culture at room temperature for up to 48 hours. Based on the device features, principles of operation, and technological characteristics we believe Greiner CCM tube is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

7. PERFORMANCE DATA

Testing was performed for the suitability of Greiner CCM tube as sampling and transport system for microbiological specimen using procedures outlined in the Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) M40-A2 Quality Control of Microbiological Transport Systems. Viability and recovery testing was performed with recommendation from M40-A2 and FDA. ATCC cultures from 10 potential pathogens of Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Streptococcus agalactiae, Candida albicans. Candida glabrata were used to spike sterile filtered urine to 10° and 10° cfu/ml. All analyses were performed in triplicates at room temperature and refrigerated temperature.

8. DISCUSSION / CONCLUSION

The GBO CCM tube fulfills the requirements set in the CLSI standard M40-A2, "Quality Control of Microbiological Transport Systems" demonstrating that the recovered organism are within +/- 1 log from the original spiked concentration is considered acceptable performance. The data provided shows that acceptable performance was demonstrated for all organisms tested.
