Intended Use
A qualitative procedure for the culture and recovery of aerobic microorganisms (mainly bacteria and fungi) from pediatric and other blood specimens which are generally less than 3 mL in volume.
Device Description
BACTEC PEDS PLUS medium is a bacterial growth medium providing an aerobic environment for the detection of bacteria and fungi. It has been designed for the recovery of microorganisms from pediatric and other blood specimens which are generally less than 3 mL in volume and is used specifically with the BACTEC NR ( non-radiometric )blood culture series instruments. Each glass vial of medium contains 20 mL of enriched Soybean-Casein Digest Broth with resins and CO2. If microorganisms are present in the test sample inoculated into the BACTEC vial, CO2 will be produced and liberated into the atmosphere when the organisms metabolize the substrates present in the vial. The instrument analyzes the vial head space gas for CO2 and, If a threshold level is exceeded, indicates that the vial is positive, i.e., that the test sample contains viable organisms.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on a growth medium and an instrument that detects CO2 levels, indicating microbial growth. There is no mention of AI or ML in the provided text.

No.
The device is described as a bacterial growth medium used for the detection and recovery of microorganisms from blood specimens, not for treating any condition.

Yes

Explanation: The device is used for the qualitative recovery and detection of aerobic microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) from blood specimens, indicating the presence of viable organisms and abnormal conditions, which classifies it as a diagnostic device.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "bacterial growth medium" in a "glass vial" and is used with "BACTEC NR (non-radiometric) blood culture series instruments," indicating it is a physical product with hardware components.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's a "qualitative procedure for the culture and recovery of aerobic microorganisms (mainly bacteria and fungi) from pediatric and other blood specimens." This describes a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on a biological sample (blood) to provide information about a patient's health status (presence of microorganisms).
  • Device Description: The description details a "bacterial growth medium" used to detect microorganisms in blood samples. This is a classic example of an IVD component used in a diagnostic process.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is used with "blood specimens," which are biological samples taken from the body for diagnostic testing.
  • Performance Studies: The document describes clinical studies evaluating the performance of the device in detecting microorganisms in patient blood samples. This type of testing and evaluation is characteristic of IVDs.

The device is designed to be used in vitro to diagnose or provide information about a disease or condition by examining a sample from the human body. This aligns perfectly with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

Clinical studies were conducted comparing BACTEC® PEDS PLUS™ Culture Vials and BACTEC® NR6A Culture Vials at three tertiary care pediatric hospitals. A total of 4,581 paired vials were evaluated. From those sets a total of 289 clinically significant organisms were isolated from 452 positives. Of the 289 clinically significant organisms isolated. 181(63%) were from both media, 75 (26%) from the BACTEC PEDS PLUS medium and 33 (11%) from the BACTEC NR6A medium. The difference in recovery between the two media was statistically significant (X2 = 16.3, p

§ 866.2560 Microbial growth monitor.

(a)
Identification. A microbial growth monitor is a device intended for medical purposes that measures the concentration of bacteria suspended in a liquid medium by measuring changes in light scattering properties, optical density, electrical impedance, or by making direct bacterial counts. The device aids in the diagnosis of disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms.(b)
Classification. Class I. With the exception of automated blood culturing system devices that are used in testing for bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms in blood and other normally sterile body fluids, this device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter.
