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.

The document describes an "algorithm" for determining MIC and SIR, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or any related techniques like neural networks, deep learning, or image processing which are commonly associated with AI/ML in this context. The description focuses on metabolic assays and comparing growth data to determine MIC, which aligns with traditional automated susceptibility testing methods.

No.
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device used for identifying the susceptibility of microorganisms to antimicrobial agents, rather than directly treating a disease or condition.

Yes

Explanation: The Selux AST System is intended for "automated quantitative susceptibility testing," which means it determines the susceptibility of microorganisms to antimicrobial agents. This information is crucial for clinicians to diagnose and treat infections effectively. The "Indications for Use" explicitly states it's an "in vitro test to determine the susceptibility," directly indicating its role in diagnostics.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Selux AST System consists of hardware components including a Sample Prep Station, an Inoculator, an Analyzer, and a computer workstation, in addition to the software.

Based on the provided text, the Selux AST System is indeed an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The Intended Use explicitly states it's for "automated quantitative susceptibility testing for most clinically significant aerobic microorganisms." This is a diagnostic test performed outside of the body (in vitro) on biological samples (microorganisms).
  • Indications for Use: The Indications for Use further clarifies that the Selux Gram-Negative Panel is intended for use "as an in vitro test to determine the susceptibility of isolated colonies of specific gram-negative bacilli to specific antimicrobial agents." The phrase "in vitro test" directly indicates it's an IVD.
  • Device Description: The description details a system that analyzes microbial growth in wells containing antimicrobial agents to determine susceptibility. This process is performed in a laboratory setting on a biological sample.
  • Principle of Operation: The principle of operation describes a method similar to broth microdilution, a standard in vitro diagnostic technique for determining antimicrobial susceptibility.
  • Clinical Performance Testing: The description of clinical performance testing involves evaluating the system's performance against a reference method using clinical isolates, which is typical for validating an IVD.

Therefore, the Selux AST System fits the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

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) 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).

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

Reproducibility Study:

  • Inter-site reproducibility: 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%.
    • Worst-case inter-site reproducibility was ≥89%.
  • Intra-site reproducibility: Evaluated at a single site that participated in the inter-site reproducibility testing and the clinical study. A minimum of 5 isolates for each antimicrobial were tested in triplicate at the site from three separate inoculums on three separate days for a minimum total of 45 results per antimicrobial.
    • Best-case intra-site reproducibility was ≥95%.
    • Worst-case intra-site reproducibility was ≥89%.

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.

6

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 । ।। :: :

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.

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)

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).
