Intended Use
MRSASelect™II is a selective and differential chromogenic medium for: A) The qualitative detection of nasal colonization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to aid in the prevention and control of MRSA infections in healthcare settings. The test can be performed on anterior nares specimens from patients to screen for MRSA colonization. MRSASelect™II is not intended to diagnose MRSA infection nor to guide or monitor treatment of infection. A negative result does not preclude MRSA nasal colonization. Concomitant cultures are necessary to recover organisms for identification, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, or epidemiological typing. Results can be interpreted after 18 to 28 hours incubation. B) The qualitative detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from skin and soft tissue wound specimens. The MRSASelect™II is indicated for use in conjunction with other laboratory tests and clinical data available to aid in the identification and diagnosis of MRSA from patients with skin and soft-tissue infections. Concomitant cultures and antimicrobial susceptibility testing are necessary for all skin and soft-tissue wound specimens. MRSASelect™I is not intended to guide, or monitor treatment for MRSA infection, or provide results of susceptibility to methicillin. Results can be interpreted after 18 to 28 hours incubation.
Device Description
MRSASelect™I is a selective medium for the detection and direct identification of MRSA. The selectivity of this medium is based on the presence of an antibiotic/antifungal mixture and an optimized salt concentration that inhibits the growth of yeasts and the majority of Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria, with the exception of methicillin-resistant staphylococci. Identification is based on the cleavage of a chromogenic substrate by a specific enzymatic activity of Staphylococcus aureus, leading to a strong pink coloration of the Staphylococcus aureus colonies. Plates may be read within 18-28 hours incubation: - Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus produces pink colonies on MRSASelect™II; - . Coagulase negative methicillin-resistant staphylococci may not grow or may grow as colorless or white colonies; - Methicillin-susceptible staphylococci (MSS) are inhibited.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on a chromogenic culture medium and its ability to selectively grow and identify MRSA based on color change. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any computational analysis of the results. The interpretation is based on visual observation of colony color.

No
The device is a diagnostic tool used to detect MRSA colonization or infection, not to treat it. Its intended use explicitly states it is "not intended to diagnose MRSA infection nor to guide or monitor treatment of infection" but rather "to aid in the prevention and control of MRSA infections" by identifying the presence of MRSA.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is for "qualitative detection of nasal colonization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to aid in the prevention and control of MRSA infections" and "to aid in the identification and diagnosis of MRSA from patients with skin and soft-tissue infections."

No

The device description clearly states it is a "selective and differential chromogenic medium," which is a physical substance used in laboratory testing, not a software-only product.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states the qualitative detection of MRSA from human specimens (nasal colonization and skin/soft tissue wound specimens) to aid in the prevention, control, identification, and diagnosis of MRSA. This is a classic definition of an in vitro diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a selective and differential chromogenic medium used to detect and identify MRSA based on its enzymatic activity. This medium is used in vitro (outside the body) with patient specimens.
  • Performance Studies: The document includes performance data (sensitivity, specificity, etc.) based on testing human specimens (wound and anterior nares samples) against a reference method. This type of testing is characteristic of IVD devices undergoing regulatory review.
  • Predicate Devices: The mention of predicate devices (K081212 and K100589) which are also IVDs for MRSA detection further supports that this device falls under the IVD category.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the MRSASelect™II is clearly an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol: The performance of MRSASelect™II was evaluated at three (3) geographically diverse locations within the United States from 2013 to 2016. A total of 3,252 prospective valid wound and anterior nares specimens were included in the final data set and analyzed for product performance. All samples yielded valid results and were included in the final analysis. Performance of MRSASelect™II was evaluated against the established reference method; for wound samples a culture enrichment broth method (Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB) with 6.5% NaCl) was used. Positive TSB cultures were subcultured on Blood Agar Plates (BAP). Identification of suspected Staphylococcus aureus colonies on BAP was confirmed using Gram stain, slide agglutination test for detection of Staphylococcus aureus, tube coagulase, and mecAmediated oxacillin resistance testing using 30 μg cefoxitin disk. Similarly, for anterior nares samples, a culture enrichment broth method was used. Positive TSB cultures were subcultured on BAP. ldentification of suspected Staphylococcus aureus colonies on BAP was confirmed followed by confirmation using Gram stain, slide agglutination test for detection of Staphylococcus aureus, tube coagulase and PBP2a testing.

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

Assay precision was tested at three clinical sites and measured site-to-site reproducibility and lot-to-lot reproducibility using a blinded panel of eleven (11) organism suspensions. Ten ATCC® strains were used for the panel preparation. The panel members consisted of MRSA, MSSA and S. epidermidis. Results demonstrate that MRSASelect™II is reproducible across sites and lots.

Analytical Sensitivity (Recovery Study): The percent recovery LoD was defined as the lowest dilution at which growth is observed (> 1 CFU) on MRSASelect™II with corresponding growth observed in parallel on Blood Agar Plate. The LoD of the MRSASelect™Il was determined using ATCC® 43300™ and NRS 660, two (2) well characterized MRSA strains from culture collections. The data confirm that the minimum concentration of MRSA reliably detected by MRSASelect™II is 800 CFU/mL in nasal or wounds matrix.

Analytical Sensitivity (Inclusivity): A total of 54 characterized collection strains of MRSA (including USA300-0114, USA100, 200, 500, 600, 700, 800, and 1000) were inoculated onto MRSASelect™MI plates using saline suspensions at the concentration of 80-240 CFU/mL. Isolates tested included known clinically associated strains from the Network on Antimicrobial Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus (NARSA) and ATCC® collections.
A total of 53/54 isolates grew as pink colonies at a concentration of 80-240 CFU/mL on MRSASelect™I after 18 hours. After 24 and 28 hours incubation all 54 isolates grew as pink colonies.

Analytical Specificity (Cross Reactivity): A total of 109 strains from various species were evaluated at a minimum concentration of 10^6 CFU/mL on MRSASelect™I. Cross-reactivity was defined as growth of distinct pink colonies on MRSASelect™Il at 18, 24 and 28 hours incubation. A total of 107 out of the 109 strains were inhibited or recovered as nonpink colonies on MRSASelect™II. Two strains of MSSA produced colonies with pink coloration on MRSASelect™I. An appropriate limitation has been added to the IFU. Some MRSE (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis) strains grew as white colonies within 18-28 hours on MRSASelect™. In addition, the following organisms grew as faint pink colonies when clustered together: Corynebacterium imitans, Corynebacterium jeikeium, Aerococcus viridans, Staphylococcus cohnii and Staphylococus sciuri. An appropriate limitation has been added to the IFU.

Interference Study: A total of twenty (20) medicinal substances commonly used in anterior nares and on skin and soft-tissue wound specimens were evaluated for potential interference of the chromogenic reaction of the MRSASelect™I. No interference was observed with 12/20 of them. One (1) substance (Ocean Premium Saline Nasal Spray®) reduced the quantity of growth of MRSA on MRSASelect™I and BAP without complete inhibition. Seven (7) substances (Neosynephrine®, Dristan 12h®, Ayr Saline®, Walgreens First Aid Antiseptic Spray®, Tecnu First Aid Antiseptic Pain Relieving Gel, Bactine, inhibited growth on MRSASelect™Il and BAP. Appropriate limitations have been added to the IFU.

Co-Infection/Mixed Infection: The effect of mixed cultures on the performance of MRSASelect™II was assessed by inoculating MRSA in the presence of an increasing concentration of methicillin-resistant S. epidermidis or K. pneumoniae. No impact on the growth of the MRSA was observed due to co-infection.

Validation of Transport Media: The effect of three (3) different transport media on the growth of MRSA on MRSASelect™Il was evaluated. The following transport media were used LQ STUART and LQ AMIES with or without charcoal. The use of these transport media did not decrease the recovery of MRSA on MRSASelect™M. An appropriate limitation has been added to the IFU.

Clinical Performance Characteristics: The performance of MRSASelect™II was evaluated at three (3) geographically diverse locations within the United States from 2013 to 2016. A total of 3,252 prospective valid wound and anterior nares specimens were included in the final data set and analyzed for product performance.
For Wound Samples (N=842): Sensitivity 96.7%, Specificity 95.4%, Positive Predictive Value 82.1%, Negative Predictive Value 99.2%. The overall prevalence of MRSA as determined broth culture reference method was 18% (152/842).
For Anterior Nares Samples (N=2,410): Sensitivity 91.0%, Specificity 98.3%, Positive Predictive Value 86.2%, Negative Predictive Value 98.9%. The overall prevalence of MRSA as determined by the enriched broth culture reference method was 10.6% (255/2410).

Device Description

MRSASelect™I is a selective medium for the detection and direct identification of MRSA. The selectivity of this medium is based on the presence of an antibiotic/antifungal mixture and an optimized salt concentration that inhibits the growth of yeasts and the majority of Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria, with the exception of methicillin-resistant staphylococci. Identification is based on the cleavage of a chromogenic substrate by a specific enzymatic activity of Staphylococcus aureus, leading to a strong pink coloration of the Staphylococcus aureus colonies. Plates may be read within 18-28 hours incubation:

  • Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus produces pink colonies on MRSASelect™II;
  • . Coagulase negative methicillin-resistant staphylococci may not grow or may grow as colorless or white colonies;
  • Methicillin-susceptible staphylococci (MSS) are inhibited.

Substantial Equivalency

The MRSASelect™I is substantially equivalent to the Bio-Rad MRSASelect™ Extended Incubation (K081212) and MRSASelect™ Wound Specimen (K100589) products. Table 1 on the following page compares the characteristics of the Bio-Rad MRSASelect™I (New Device) and the Bio-Rad MRSASelect™ Extended Incubation (K081212) and MRSASelect™ (K100589) products (Predicate Devices).

Performance Characteristics: Analytical Performance

Precision/Reproducibility

Assay precision was tested at three clinical sites and measured site-to-site reproducibility and lot-to-lot reproducibility using a blinded panel of eleven (11) organism suspensions. Ten ATCC® strains were used for the panel preparation. The panel members consisted of MRSA, MSSA and S. epidermidis. Results demonstrate that MRSASelect™II is reproducible across sites and lots.

Analytical Sensitivity (Recovery Study)

The percent recovery LoD was defined as the lowest dilution at which growth is observed (> 1 CFU) on MRSASelect™II with corresponding growth observed in parallel on Blood Agar Plate. The LoD of the MRSASelect™Il was determined using ATCC® 43300™ and NRS 660, two (2) well characterized MRSA strains from culture collections. The data confirm that the minimum concentration of MRSA reliably detected by MRSASelect™II is 800 CFU/mL in nasal or wounds matrix.

Analytical Sensitivity (Inclusivity)

A total of 54 characterized collection strains of MRSA (including USA300-0114, USA100, 200, 500, 600, 700, 800, and 1000) were inoculated onto MRSASelect™MI plates using saline suspensions at the

A total of 107 out of the 109 strains were inhibited or recovered as nonpink colonies on MRSASelect™II. Two strains of MSSA produced colonies with pink coloration on MRSASelect™I. An appropriate limitation has been added to the IFU. Some MRSE (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis) strains grew as white colonies within 18-28 hours on MRSASelect™. In addition, the following organisms grew as faint pink colonies when clustered together: Corynebacterium imitans, Corynebacterium jeikeium, Aerococcus viridans, Staphylococcus cohnii and Staphylococus sciuri. An appropriate limitation has been added to the IFU.

Interference Study

A total of twenty (20) medicinal substances commonly used in anterior nares and on skin and soft-tissue wound specimens were evaluated for potential interference of the chromogenic reaction of the MRSASelect™I. No interference was observed with 12/20 of them. One (1) substance (Ocean Premium Saline Nasal Spray®) reduced the quantity of growth of MRSA on MRSASelect™I and BAP without complete inhibition. Seven (7) substances (Neosynephrine®, Dristan 12h®, Ayr Saline®, Walgreens First Aid Antiseptic Spray®, Tecnu First Aid Antiseptic Pain Relieving Gel, Bactine, inhibited growth on MRSASelect™Il and BAP. Appropriate limitations have been added to the IFU.

Co-Infection/Mixed Infection

The effect of mixed cultures on the performance of MRSASelect™II was assessed by inoculating MRSA in the presence of an increasing concentration of methicillin-resistant S. epidermidis or K. pneumoniae. No impact on the growth of the MRSA was observed due to co-infection.

The effect of three (3) different transport media on the growth of MRSA on MRSASelect™Il was evaluated. The following transport media were used LQ STUART and LQ AMIES with or without charcoal. The use of these transport media did not decrease the recovery of MRSA on MRSASelect™M. An appropriate limitation has been added to the IFU.

Clinical Performance Characteristics

The performance of MRSASelect™II was evaluated at three (3) geographically diverse locations within the United States from 2013 to 2016. A total of 3,252 prospective valid wound and anterior nares specimens were included in the final data set and analyzed for product performance. All samples yielded

valid results and were included in the final analysis. Performance of MRSASelect™II was evaluated against the established reference method; for wound samples a culture enrichment broth method (Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB) with 6.5% NaCl) was used. Positive TSB cultures were subcultured on Blood Agar Plates (BAP). Identification of suspected Staphylococcus aureus colonies on BAP was confirmed using Gram stain, slide agglutination test for detection of Staphylococcus aureus, tube coagulase, and mecAmediated oxacillin resistance testing using 30 µg cefoxitin disk. Similarly, for anterior nares samples, a culture enrichment broth method was used. Positive TSB cultures were subcultured on BAP. ldentification of suspected Staphylococcus aureus colonies on BAP was confirmed followed by confirmation using Gram stain, slide agglutination test for detection of Staphylococcus aureus, tube coagulase and PBP2a testing. Performance results are shown in the Table 3 and Table 4 below:

c) PBP2a test performed from colonies on BAP after the enrichment step in TSB (PBP2a).

No further discordant resolution was conducted on those discrepant samples.

d) All 23 specimens resulted in no growth on MRSASe/ect™II.

e) Of the 37 false positives observed, a total of 25 isolates were determined to be non-S. aureus species (including 11 strains of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus); and 12 isolates were identified as methicillin-susceptible S. aureus.

-The overall prevalence of MRSA as determined by the enriched broth culture reference method was 10.6% (255/2410).
