Device Description

The Copan Colibrí System is designed to be used as an accessory of the downstream MALDI-TOF MS and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) analyzers automating various manual steps in the workflow for the preparation of samples for the identification of isolated colonies and for AST of isolated colonies of gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial species grown on solid culture media. The Colibrí System automates the preparation of MALDI target slides for the bioMérieux VITEK MS or the Bruker MALDI Biotyper CA System that are used in clinical laboratories for identification (ID) of organisms grown on plated media by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Jonization Time-of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The Colibri System automates the preparation of microbial suspensions at known concentration for bioMérieux VITEK 2 System that is used in clinical laboratories for AST analyses. Moreover, the Colibri System is used for Purity Plates preparation for purity assessments. The Colibrí System comprises the Colibrí Vision System and Colibrí Preparation Station hardware modules and pipette tips, Primary Tubes, Spreader and nephelometer Verification Kit as consumables. After appropriate plate incubation, the operator using the graphical User Interface (Image Reading Interface) chooses the plates exhibiting adequate growth and selects the isolated colonies to be processed assigning the automatic ID or AST tasks. By using the Colibrí Vision System, specific colonies to be picked are designated by the operator on a digital plate. The Operator manually loads the plates in the Colibri Preparation Station where colonies are automatically picked, spotted on the target slide and overlayed with the matrix or suspended into the dedicated solution for the preparation of the microbial suspension for AST purposes (Secondary Tube). When used in conjunction with the bioMérieux VITEK MS, the Colibrí System can prepare the 48spot target slides by performing the direct spotting of colonies. The calibrator used for quality control is manually applied by the operator at the end of the automated colony spotting. When used in conjunction with the Bruker MALDI Biotyper CA System, the Colibrí System can prepare either reusable 48-spot or disposable 96-spot targets by performing the Direct Transfer Sample Procedure. The BTS used for quality control is manually applied by the operator at the automated colony spotting. When used in conjunction with the bioMérieux VITEK 2, the Colibrí System can prepare the microbial suspension at the proper concentration by direct colony suspension method. The onboard nephelometer allows the preparation of Secondary Tubes (AST suspensions) at the correct concentration and the Colibrí Spreader is used for Purity Plates preparation. Copan WASP S.r.l., Traditional 510(k)- Colibrí System The Colibrí software records the identity of each sample and its position on the target slide and communicates this information electronically to the MALDI-TOF MS analyzers. The traceability of prepared Secondary Tube and Purity Plates is maintained by dedicated labels applications. Colibri System requires four different calibrations, one on the nephelometer, three on the cameras. None of these calibration activities require user intervention if not in terms of periodical cleaning of the mechanical component as described in the dedicated section of the User Manual. The Set-up calibration of nephelometer and camera units positioned on the Colibrí Vision System and on the Colibrí Preparation Station are performed during the device initial setup. Auto-calibration is performed at the end of the initial set-up and periodically during the preventive maintenance to check that, in the Collbrí Preparation all the mechanical references can be found inside the positioning tolerances, that the I/Os are responsive. Run-time calibration is performed during the normal usage to automatically check the proper functioning of the Colibrí Vision System and the Colibrí Preparation Station. Colibrí System requires a daily nephelometer verification to check the proper reading of suspensions at different turbidity values.

VI. Comparison to Predicate

Colibrí System is designed to automatize the standard manual workflow for the preparation of microbial suspension for AST via direct colony suspension method and purity assessment decreasing the risk of cross-contamination among colonies grown on the culture plate, the risk of scratching from the media plate surface and the risk to use AST suspensions at improper concentration. Specifically, the Colibrí Vision System aids the operator in selecting single, well-isolated colonies. The Colibrí Preparation Station allows the automatic picking of the preselected colonies and their suspension into the saline solution of the Primary Tube. The Primary Tube turbidity is checked by the on-board nephelometer to assure it is in the proper working range, allowing the preparation of a Secondary Tube at a precise concentration. The Colibri Preparation Station labels the Secondary Tube and the Purity Plate, optionally prepared, for traceability.

With reference to the sample preparation workflow for AST testing, comparison with the Predicate Device is provided in the following tables:

VII. Performance Data

The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

Analytical Studies

The Analytical studies performed with the Colibri System support its use for the preparation of microbial suspension used in conjunction with the bioMérieux VITEK 2 AST analyzer. The Analytical studies demonstrated that the Device can automatically prepare the microbial suspensions at appropriate concentrations, starting from gram-negative and ram-positive bacterial colonies grown on solid culture media, which can be used to hydrate VITEK 2 cards for the determination of susceptibility of organisms to certain drugs. The used methodology (direct colony suspension) and claimed prerequisites for sample preparation are in line with the IVD analyzer manufacturer IFU.

Nephelometer Calibration Verification

To verify the accuracy of the onboard Colibrí System nephelometer in preparing microbial suspensions at specific concentrations within the calibration range, isolated colonies of E. coli (ATCC 25922) grown on non-selective medium were used to manually prepare suspensions at determined concentrations (0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 McFarland), representing the calibration points. For each concentration, 20 suspensions were prepared from three operators in rotation, and the process was repeated on 3 Colibrí Systems calibrated with 3 different lots of suspensions at known concentrations. For each suspension, ten-fold dilutions were prepared and plated in triplicate; to perform viable cell count to calculate the initial tube concentration.

A total of 300 suspensions were prepared: overall, 100% of suspensions contained the correct concentration of bacteria considering that a 0.5 McFarland suspension of E. coli has a nominal microbial content of 1-2 × 10° CFU/mL+. The study demonstrated acceptable accuracy.

Pipettor Trueness and Precision

The accuracy and reproducibility of the on-board Colibrí System pipettor was determined gravimetrically. Appropriate vessels were weighted before and after the dispensations of four volumes (50uL, 100 uL, 500uL, 900uL) representing the 5%, 10%, 50% and 90% of the nominal volume of the tip used for the AST preparation. Three Colibrí System pipettors were included in the examination: for each volume, 10 measurements were performed using saline solution (aqueous 0.45%, pH 4.5 to 7.0) and the trueness and reproducibility were calculated. As expected, trueness and reproducibility vary according to the volume under testing but always within the acceptance criteria.

E. coli Suspensions Preparation Verification Study

To assess the ability of the Colibri System to prepare and manage Primary Tubes at various concentrations, isolated colonies of the E. coli ATCC® 25922 were used to automatically prepare Primary Tubes at various turbidities.

A variable number of colonies was selected on the plates images to create different suspensions at increasing turbidity values. Three Colibrí Systems run by three different operators were included in the test.

All the Primary Tubes were correctly managed by Colibrí System according to the turbidity value.

100% suspensions over the entire working range contained the expected number of colonies, estimated considering that the 0.5 McFarland has a nominal content of 1-2 × 108 CFU/mL for E. coli'.

Validation of Colony Picking and Preparation of Microbial Suspensions for AST

The accuracy of colony picking and preparation of the microbial suspension was demonstrated by purity check and bacterial concentration determination of the Primary Tubes.

Three Colibrí Systems were used to prepare Primary Tubes and the respective subculture (Purity Plate) from isolated colonies of 6 bacterial species (3 Gram-Negative and 3 Gram-Positive) grown in 2 polymicrobial mixtures on different types of culture medium in whole and biplates at various incubation time. To confirm nephelometer accuracy, bacterial concentration of the Primary Tube was determined by viable cell count and compared to the theorical concentration, estimated considering that the 0.5 McFarland has a nominal content of 1-2 × 108 CFU/mL for E. coli¹.

1 CLSI guideline M07. 11th ed Methods for Dilution Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria that Grow Aerobically. Wayne, PA: Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, 2018.

100% of colonies designated by the operator were picked correctly by the Colibrí System both on whole plates and bi-plates and 100% of Purity Plates showed no evidence of microbial contamination, demonstrating that the Colibrí System accurately picks microbial colonies, without contamination from other microorganisms grown on the same culture plate.

The percentage of prepared suspension with microbial concentration within the acceptable limits was 99.2% and, for each instrument, the result was always >98%. The percentage suspension within acceptable limits has been compared between each instrument with y-test, resulting in no statistically significant difference among the instruments. The results provided evidence that the microbial concentration is accurately measured by the Colibri nephelometer through its turbidity.

AST Challenge Test

The accuracy of MICs obtained by bioMérieux VITEK 2 using Colibrí System for microbial suspensions preparation was evaluated using representative isolates of different species of Enterobacterales (n=62), Staphylococcus (n=16), Streptococcus (n=30), Enterococcus (n=16) and non-fermenters (n=32). The strains included in this study were both susceptible and resistant strains, exhibiting a range of on-scale MIC values toward at least 4 antibiotics representative for the major classes of drugs. Each strain was grown on different agar media (Trypticase Soy Agar + 5% Sheep Blood, MacConkey Agar and Columbia agar+5% sheep blood) at specific incubation times and then processed on three Colibrí System in comparison with the manual preparation.

Microbial suspensions were prepared by Colibrí Preparation Station and processed by the bioMérieux VITEK 2 using the appropriate antibiotic panel. The MICs obtained by bioMérieux VITEK 2 using Colibri System were compared to the MICs obtained by bioMérieux VITEK 2 using manual sample preparation and the SIR category was reported according to the FDA- Recognized Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test Interpretive Criteria. Essential Agreement (EA) of the MICs and Category Agreement (CA) were calculated. The discrepant SIR results were categorized as Very Major Category Error, Major Category Error and Minor Category Error.

AST Challenge Study summary of results, organism group

MICs obtained using Colibrí System for microbial suspensions preparation showed very high agreement with the manual preparation for all the microorganisms group; overall, 1882/1883 evaluable MIC results were within one doubling dilution of the comparator method result and 5947/5991SIR categorizations were in agreement. The overall Essential Agreement of the evaluable MIC results was > 99.9% and the Category Agreement was 99.3%.

Reproducibility Study

The Reproducibility Study was performed to demonstrate consistency of AST results given by bioMérieux VITEK 2 on microbial suspensions prepared by different Colibrí Systems in different test days.

Culture media showing isolated colonies of different Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative strains were processed on three Colibrí Systems run by three operators over 3 days. Each microorganism was tested with the appropriate antibiotic panel following the analyzer's instructions for use. Each condition was tested in triplicate for a total number of 81 replicates for each combination strainantimicrobial agent.

The MIC results were considered reproducible if they fell within one doubling dilution from the modal value of each combination strain-antimicrobial agent

The results were reproducible for each antimicrobial agent between instruments, operators and days.

Purity Plate Growth

In total, 2,364 purity plates have been prepared by different Colibri™ Preparation Station throughout the analytical studies used to support the AST microbial suspension function of the Colibrí System, starting from Secondary Tubes of VITEK® 2, inoculated with various microbial strains. All the purity plates (2364/2364, 100%) were correctly processed and provided evidence of microbial contamination of the Secondary Tubes, demonstrating that Colibri™ Preparation Station is able to prepare monomicrobial suspensions by picking precisely the designated colonies from the culture plates and to prevent the cross-contamination between the specimens.

Sample preparation for Quality Control

The study was performed to demonstrate the reproducibility of MIC results for AST Quality Control organisms listed in CLSI M100 using the Colibrí System as suspension preparator.

The sample preparation for Quality Control was conducted daily at the beginning of the working session on each instrument involved in the Analytical Studies. All instruments were used to prepare bacterial suspensions then tested using the appropriate AST panel. MIC values for each drug/organism combination were compared to the established ranges reported in the AST analyzer labeling, resulting in 100% in-range MIC values. Purity of all the suspensions was confirmed by Purity Plates prepared by Colibrí System. The summary of results is in the table below.

Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

Electrical safety and EMC testing were conducted on the Colibrí System, consisting of Colibrí Vision System and Colibrí Preparation Station. The system complies with the IEC 61010-1: 2010, IEC 61010-2-081: 2015, IEC 61010-2-101: 2015 standards for safety and the IEC 61326-1: 2012, IEC 61326-2-6: 2012 and IEC 60601-1-2:2014 standards for EMC; test reports are included.

Laser Product

Colibrí System complies with the IEC 60825-1: 2007 standard; test report is included.

Software Verification and Validation Testing

Software verification and validation testing were conducted according to the internal Standard Operative Procedure in agreement with IEC 62304 Edition 1.1 2015-06 Consolidate version. Documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices"

issued on May 11, 2005. The software for the Device was considered as a "Moderate" level of concern, since a failure or latent design flaw could directly through incorrect or delayed information or through the action of a care provider result in minor injury to the patient or operator.

Usability validation

Usability has been addressed for Colibri System following recommendations in the "Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff - Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Medical Devices (February 3, 2016)" and in agreement with "IEC 62366-1:2015-02 Medical Devices - Part 1: Application Of Usability Engineering To Medical Devices [Including CORRIGENDUM 1 (2016)]".

The results of usability validation provided evidence that all the measurements implemented to prevent use errors, regarding the device design, labelling and training, are effective and the device can be used in a safe and effective way, establishing that all the risks included in the Risk Analysis have been mitigated and there are no Unacceptable residual risks.

VIII. Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions

Conclusions:

All the necessary safety tests were performed and documented. We have verified and validated that the Copan Colibrí System meets its functional specifications and performance requirements, and complies with applicable international standards IEC 61010-1, IEC 61010-2:101, IEC 61010-2:081, IEC 60825-1, IEC 61326-1, IEC 61326-2:6, IEC 60601-1-2:2014, CLSI M100, CLSI M52, CLSI M52, IEC 62304 and IEC 62366-1.

The Analytical Studies results demonstrated that the Colibrí System when used in conjunction with its parental devices is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate device. The minor differences between the devices do not adversely affect safety and effectiveness. The used methodology (direct colony suspension) and claimed prerequisites for sample preparation are in line with the IVD analyzer manufacturer IFU and with the relevant CLSI guidance.
