Intended Use
The Liofilchem® MIC Test Strip (MTS) is a quantitative method intended for the in vitro determination of antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria. MTS consists of specialized paper impregnated with a pre-defined concentration gradient of an antimicrobial agent, which is used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) in ug/mL of antimicrobial agents against bacteria as tested on agar media using overnight incubation and manual reading procedures. The Delaf loxacin MTS at concentrations of 0.002-32 ug/mL should be interpreted at 16-20 hours of incubation. The non-fastidious bacteria that have been shown to be active both clinically and in vitro against Delaf loxacin according to the FDA label are: Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-resistant and methicillin susceptible isolates) Staphylococcus haemolyticus Staphylococcus lugdunensis Enterococcus faecalis

No
The description explicitly states "manual reading procedures" and makes no mention of AI, ML, or automated image processing.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) tool used to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria, not to treat or prevent disease directly in a patient.

Yes

Explanation: The device is used for the "in vitro determination of antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria" and to "determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)," which are diagnostic activities.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of "specialized paper impregnated with a pre-defined concentration gradient of an antimicrobial agent," indicating a physical, hardware component.

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 device is "intended for the in vitro determination of antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria." The term "in vitro" means "in glass" or "in the lab," referring to tests performed outside of a living organism.
  • Purpose: The device is used to determine the "minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)" of antimicrobial agents against bacteria. This is a diagnostic test performed on a sample (bacteria) to help guide treatment decisions.
  • Method: The description details a laboratory method involving agar media, incubation, and manual reading, all characteristic of in vitro diagnostic procedures.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Liofilchem® MIC Test Strip (MTS) clearly fits the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Koeth:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
