The description focuses on the microdilution technique and automated monitoring of growth, without mentioning any AI/ML algorithms for interpretation or analysis.
No.
The device is a laboratory aid for determining in vitro susceptibility to antifungal agents, not a device used to treat or cure a disease.
Yes
The device is designed for antifungal susceptibility testing of Candida species to determine their susceptibility to antifungal agents, serving as a "laboratory aid in the determination of in vitro susceptibility." This function directly contributes to diagnosing how effectively an antifungal treatment might work, making it a diagnostic device.
No
The device description explicitly details a physical "VITEK® 2 AST card" containing wells with premeasured antibiotic and culture media, which is a hardware component. The system also involves automated or manual filling, sealing, and incubation, indicating a hardware-dependent process.
Based on the provided information, the device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it is "designed for antifungal susceptibility testing of Candida species" and is intended for use "as a laboratory aid in the determination of in vitro susceptibility to antifungal agents." The term "in vitro" is a key indicator of an IVD.
- Device Description: The description details a test that involves analyzing a biological sample (yeast isolate) outside of the body ("in vitro") to determine its susceptibility to antifungal agents. It uses a miniaturized microdilution technique, which is a common method in IVD testing.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies compare the device's results to a "CLSI broth microdilution reference method," which is a standard reference method for in vitro susceptibility testing. The metrics used (Essential Agreement, Category Agreement, Error rates) are typical for evaluating the performance of IVD devices.
- Intended User/Care Setting: The intended user is "clinical laboratories," which are the typical settings where IVD tests are performed.
The device is clearly designed to be used in a laboratory setting to analyze biological samples (yeast) to provide information about a patient's potential response to antifungal treatment, which falls squarely under the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The principle of the VITEK 2 AST cards is based on the microdilution minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) technique reported by MacLowry and Marsh (1) and Gerlach(2). The VITEK 2 AST card is essentially a miniaturized, abbreviated and automated version of the doubling dilution technique (3).
Each VITEK 2 AST card contains 64 wells. A control well which only contains microbiological culture media is resident on all cards. The remaining wells contain premeasured portions of a specific antibiotic combined with culture media. The bacterial or yeast isolate to be tested is diluted to a standardized concentration with 0.45 – 0.5% saline before being used to rehydrate the antimicrobial medium within the card. The VITEK 2 System automatically fills, seals and places the card into the incubator/reader. The VITEK 2 Compact has a manual filling, sealing and loading operation. The VITEK 2 Systems monitor the growth of each well in the card over a defined period of time. At the completion of the incubation cycle, a report is generated that contains the MIC value along with the interpretive category result for each antibiotic contained on the card.
VITEK 2 AST-YS Anidulafungin has the following concentrations in the card: 0.0625, 0.125, 0.5, 2, and 8 (equivalent standard method concentration by efficacy in ug/mL).

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
VITEK 2 AST-YS Anidulafungin demonstrated substantially equivalent performance when compared with the CLSI broth microdilution reference method, as defined in the FDA Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST) Systems; Guidance for Industry and FDA (Issued August 28, 2009).
The Premarket Notification (Traditional 510[k]) presents data in support of VITEK 2 AST-YS Anidulafungin. An external evaluation was conducted with fresh and stock clinical isolates, as well as a set of challenge strains. The external evaluations were designed to confirm the acceptability of VITEK 2 AST- YS Anidulafungin by comparing its performance with the CLSI broth microdilution reference method incubated for 24 hours for isolates that are not growing well). The data is representative of performance on both the VITEK 2 and VITEK 2 Compact instrument platforms.
VITEK 2 AST-YS Anidulafungin demonstrated acceptable performance as presented in the table below.
Candida albicans: % EA 100 (206/206), % CA 100 (206/206), % Reproducibility 98.15
Candida glabrata: % EA 97.4 (113/116), % CA 98.3 (114/116), VME 0.0 (0/4), ME 0.9 (1/111), mE 0.9 (1/116)
Candida guilliermondii: % EA 90.5 (19/21), % CA 90.5 (19/21), mE 9.5 (2/21)
Candida krusei: % EA 98.6 (68/69), % CA 100 (69/69)
Candida parapsilosis: % EA 100 (72/72), % CA 86.1 (62/72), ME 1.6 (1/62), mE 12.5 (9/72)
Candida tropicalis: % EA 97.5 (79/81), % CA 96.3 (78/81), VME 33.3 (1/3)*, mE 2.5 (2/81)
*When evaluating VITEK 2 AST-YS Anidulafungin, there was a single very major error (VMJ) that resulted in an unacceptable VMJ rate of 33.3% (1/3) with C. tropicalis.
VITEK 2 Anidulafungin MIC values for C. albicans tended to be in exact agreement or at least one doubling dilution lower than the reference MIC values. Anidulafungin MIC values for C. glabrata and C. krusei tended to be in exact agreement or at least one doubling dilution higher than the reference MIC values.
