Device Description

The Selux AST System for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) consists of a Sample Prep Station, an Inoculator, an Analyzer, a computer workstation, and the reagents and consumables required to perform AST testing. The system is operated via software that guides users through the manual sample preparation process and operates the automated Inoculator and Analyzer. The software includes an algorithm that enables the system to determine the susceptibilities of an organism to the variety of antimicrobials under test.

The system is designed so that only Gram stain information is required to initiate testing (to select the proper antimicrobial panel, gram-negative or gram-positive). While complete system testing can be performed without species-level identification (ID), this information is required for the system to report susceptibility results. Species ID can be performed by any appropriate method and this information can be either manually input to the Selux system or automatically downloaded from the laboratory information system (LIS) at any time, once the sample ID is entered into the system.

The system utilizes 384-well panels to provide parallel results for a large number of antimicrobials. Its average time-to-result is under 6 hours, as demonstrated in various studies.

Principle of Operation
The Selux platform performs AST similarly to the reference broth microdilution method by first incubating samples, then quantifying microbial growth in each well of an antimicrobial dilution series after a growth period, and finally determining the MIC by comparing growth data in each well. The Selux AST test requires that the Gram type (Classification) of the organism be known prior to testing as the information is necessary to select the proper AST panel to use. The organism identification (ID) need not be known for Selux AST processing to be performed. However, the organism ID is necessary for a result to be obtained because the MIC-determining algorithm is species-specific as is the interpretative Susceptible, Intermediate, or Resistant (SIR) determination. Any FDA-cleared method may be used to provide an ID including biochemical techniques, matrixassisted laser desorption/isotherm mass spectrometry, and multiplex genetic assays.

To ensure accurate results, the Selux method initiates antimicrobial susceptibility assays only after sufficient microorganism replication has occurred. Following determination of sufficient growth, two complementary metabolic assays are performed that quantify microbial growth, namely an indicator assay to estimate the number of bacteria present and a surface binding assay. These data are input to an MIC-determining algorithm that provides results when organism IDs are available. The sufficient growth assay ensures that the metabolic reagents used for the high-sensitivity organism quantification assays are not added until after sufficient microbial growth has occurred. To get an accurate reading of microbial replication, the sufficient growth assay monitors growth in dedicated AST panel wells that contain organisms and cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton Broth but no antimicrobials or probes. Sufficient growth assay wells are monitored by fluorescence to those wells which the standard viability assay pair resazurin/methylene blue have been added and/or by optical absorbance.

Two probe-based assays, a viability assay and a surface area assay, commence across all wells in the panel after the sufficient growth threshold has been met. Both of these assays are performed in each AST panel well, providing two complementary datasets for each well.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size:
    • A total of 1401 clinical isolates (426 contemporary and 975 stock) and 222 challenge isolates were used.
    • This totals 1623 isolates across 12 Enterobacterales species, Acinetobacter baumannii complex, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
    • The number of data points for various antimicrobial-organism combinations ranged from 165 to 977, depending on the specific combination.
  • Data Provenance: Clinical isolates were from "diverse geographic locations across the US." The study included both contemporary and frozen clinical isolates, as well as banked challenge isolates (selected for resistance profiles). This indicates a prospective and retrospective collection for clinical isolates and potentially retrospective for banked challenge isolates.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

The document does not specify the number or qualifications of experts. However, it states that the ground truth was established by "triplicate broth microdilution results performed at an independent reference laboratory." This implies that the standard reference method for antimicrobial susceptibility testing was used, which is typically conducted by trained microbiologists.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not explicitly describe an adjudication method for discrepancies between the device and the reference method. The comparison methodology is directly stated as: "Selux AST System performance was determined by comparing Selux AST System results with triplicate broth microdilution results performed at an independent reference laboratory." This suggests a direct comparison rather than an adjudication process by additional experts for discordant results.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers with and without AI assistance was not done. This device is an automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing system, not an imaging or diagnostic device that typically involves human interpretation of outputs aided by AI. Its performance is compared directly to a reference laboratory method for accuracy.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

Yes, the study described is a standalone performance evaluation of the Selux AST System. The system "determines the susceptibilities of an organism to the variety of antimicrobials under test" using its integrated software and algorithm. While human input is required for initial sample preparation and entry of organism identification (which can be manual or LIS-automated), the core susceptibility determination by the system is automated ("algorithm only"). The results are then compared to the reference method (broth microdilution).

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used was broth microdilution results, specifically "triplicate broth microdilution results performed at an independent reference laboratory." Broth microdilution is considered a gold standard reference method for antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not explicitly state the sample size for the training set. The provided details focus on the validation/test set used for clinical performance evaluation.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Since the training set size and details are not provided, information on how its ground truth was established is also not available in this document.

Reproducibility

Inter-site reproducibility was evaluated by testing a minimum of 25 isolates for each of the 24 antimicrobials at each of three test sites that participated in the clinical study. Each isolate was tested once at each site for a total of three results per isolate (minimum of 75 results per antimicrobial). Best-case inter-site reproducibility was ≥95% and worst-case inter-site reproducibility was ≥89% (see following table).

Clinical performance testing on the Selux AST System was performed at three test sites. Contemporary and frozen clinical isolates from diverse geographic locations across the US were evaluated for performance as were banked challenge isolates, which were selected for their resistance profiles. A total of 1401 clinical (426 contemporary and 975 stock) and 222 challenge isolates from 12 Enterobacterales species, Acinetobacter baumannii complex, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were tested to evaluate the Selux AST System performance for 24 antimicrobials. Depending on the spectrum of activity, breakpoints, and the claimed organisms (species/group)

{13}------------------------------------------------

for each antimicrobial on the panel, the number of datapoints for the various antimicrobialorganisms tested varied and ranged from 165 (e.g. P. aeruginosa/Imipenem-Relebactam) to 977 (e.g. Enterobacterales/Ertapenem).

Selux AST System performance was determined by comparing Selux AST System results with triplicate broth microdilution results performed at an independent reference laboratory. The Selux AST System meets performance criteria for each indication and is given in the following table, where performance is summarized by reporting group. Additionally, QC testing was performed every day testing was performed at each site and met the 95% performance criteria for all antimicrobials.

Conclusion

Based on our studies and testing, the Selux AST System was determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device (K190905).
