MTS (MIC Test Strip) Imipenem 0.016 - 256 µg/mL 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 µg/mL against bacteria as tested on agar media using overnight incubation and manual reading procedures. MTS Imipenem at concentrations of 0.016 - 256 µg/mL should be interpreted at 16-20 hours of incubation.
Imipenem has been shown to be active both clinically and in vitro against these bacterial species according to the FDA drug approved label:
Gram-negative bacteria
Citrobacter koseri Citrobacter freundii Enterobacter asburiae Enterobacter cloacae Escherichia coli Klebsiella aerogenes Klebsiella oxytoca Klebsiella pneumoniae Morganella morganii Proteus vulgaris Providencia rettgeri Serratia marcescens Acinetobacter baumannii Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Imipenem has been shown to be active in vitro only against the non-fastidious bacteria listed below according to the FDA drug approved label:
Gram-negative bacteria
Providencia stuartii

I am sorry, but the provided text does not contain the detailed study information I need to fulfill your request. The document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the MTS Imipenem device, which indicates its intended use and lists bacterial species it's effective against. However, it does not include:
- A table of actual acceptance criteria or reported device performance against those criteria.
- Details about sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, or training sets.
- Information on expert qualifications, ground truth establishment, or adjudication methods for studies.
- Any mention of MRMC comparative effectiveness studies or standalone algorithm performance.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information based on the provided text.
§ 866.1640 Antimicrobial susceptibility test powder.
(a)
Identification. An antimicrobial susceptibility test powder is a device that consists of an antimicrobial drug powder packaged in vials in specified amounts and intended for use in clinical laboratories for determining in vitro susceptibility of bacterial pathogens to these therapeutic agents. Test results are used to determine the antimicrobial agent of choice in the treatment of bacterial diseases.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
