No
The description mentions "digitized image processing" and a "proprietary software algorithm" for analysis, but does not explicitly state or imply the use of AI or ML techniques. The focus is on optical analysis and image processing, which can be achieved with traditional algorithms.
No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic instrument for detecting and enumerating bacteria in urine, specifically for rapid urine screening to determine bacteriuria. It is used for diagnostic purposes, not for treating or preventing disease.
Yes
The device is an "in vitro diagnostic instrument intended for the rapid detection and enumeration of bacteria in urine specimens" and is "indicated for rapid urine screening for the purpose of determining the occurrence of bacteriuria." Its purpose is to provide information for clinicians to make a diagnosis of urinary tract infection.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system is comprised of both a Control and Data Management System (CMS) and a Specimen Processor and Analyzer (SP&A) Unit. The SP&A Unit is described as processing and analyzing specimens, which involves physical components like fluorescent stains, filters, a filtered lamp, fluorescence microscopy, and a CCD camera. This indicates the device includes significant hardware components beyond just software.
Yes, the Bactis 160US is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use/Indications for Use: The document explicitly states that the Bactis 160US is an "in vitro diagnostic instrument intended for the rapid detection and enumeration of bacteria in urine specimens." It also states its indication for "rapid urine screening for the purpose of determining the occurrence of bacteriuria," which is a key factor in diagnosing urinary tract infections. This clearly describes a diagnostic purpose performed outside of the body (in vitro) on a biological specimen (urine).
- Device Description: The description details how the device processes urine samples, uses fluorescent staining and microscopy to visualize bacteria, and employs image processing to analyze and quantify them. This process is consistent with in vitro diagnostic testing.
- Performance Studies: The document describes clinical studies where the device was tested against standard reference culture methods for detecting bacteriuria. This type of clinical validation is a requirement for IVD devices to demonstrate their performance and equivalence to established methods.
- Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (Bac-T-Screen, BioMerieux- Vitek Inc.) with a K number (K924218) strongly indicates that this device is being submitted for regulatory clearance as an IVD, as predicate devices are used for comparison in the regulatory process for new IVDs.
All of these points align with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Bactis 160US is an automated, computer assisted, optically based in vitro diagnostic instrument intended for the rapid detection and enumeration of bacteria in urine specimens. Urine samples are stained, filtered through a membrane, and excited with light of a defined wavelength range so as to produce a distinct fluorescent signal. Using fluorescent microscopy and a CCD camera, the image of the sample is captured. Using digitized image processing, the microscopic images are analyzed and the concentration of bacteria present in the specimen is determined by applying a proprietary software algorithm.

Device Description
The Bactis 160US is based on direct screening of urine using optical image analysis. Thirty (30) ul of well-mixed urine is mixed with fluorescent stains that bind to bacteria and other particles present in the specimen. The stained samples are filtered through a membrane. The dispersed and stained organisms are excited with a filtered lamp to produce a distinct fluorescent signal. Using fluorescence microscopy and a CCD camera the image of the sample is captured. These microscopic images are then analyzed. Using digitized image processing techniques, the bacteria are localized and enumerated, and their concentration is determined. Bacterial concentration for each specimen can be then reported. Alternatively, the concentration can be compared to a predetermined threshold (according to each laboratory's policy) and each urine sample can be categorized according to the infection category of "positive" or "negative". This method provide results within 25 minutes.
The Bactis system is comprised of the following main components:
- Control and Data Management System (CMS)
- Specimen Processor and Analyzer (SP&A) Unit
The urine screening process is controlled and monitored by the operator via the CMS, The CMS is comprised of two PC computers. An optional printer can be used to provide diagnostic reports. In the SP&A Unit, the specimens are processed and analyzed.
The Bactis 160US testing process is performed as follows:
The specimens are identified by a bar-code reader which is connected to the CMS computer (or by manual logging of the specimens' identification parameters into the computer) and loaded in their standard collection containers into a portable tray that can accommodate up to 16 specimens.
The portable tray is inserted by the operator into the SP&A unit's Input Station.
Aliquots of each sample are automatically dispensed by the robotic arm into special multiwell cassettes. Fluorescent stains are added and the cassette is directed to the filtration station. Each sample is filtered through a membrane, and the liquid is discarded. This process produces a monolayer of homogeneously dispersed and stained organisms.
The samples are then directed to the microscopic imaging station where the system detects the presence of organisms. Bacterial concentration is reported for each specimen.

1.3 Substantial Equivalence Comparison
The intended/indications for use of the Bactis 160 US are similar to other legally marketed types of urine screening devices. The Bactis 160 US is an automated, computer assisted, microscopy system intended for detection and enumeration of bacteria in urine specimens. The device is indicated for use in rapid screening analysis of urine samples to assess the occurrence of bacteriuria.
There are several methods or technological applications currently in use for urine screening for detection of bacteriuria. In general, urine screening devices for bacteriuria are based on bacterial growth such as the standard culture, or on direct enumeration of bacteria in urine samples. Both the Bactis 160 US and the legally marketed Bac-T-Screen 2000 (K924218) devices can detect and enumerate bacteria directly in urine samples without first requiring culture of the urine specimen. The technology employed by the Bactis 160 US is similar to the Bac-T-Screen 2000 in that urine samples are filtered and stained with proprietary stains before the enumeration process takes place. However, the Bactis 160 US, unlike the Bac-T-Screen 2000 (which is based on a colorimetric measurement), employs a direct bacterial particle counting technique, which yields accurate and reliable enumeration of bacteria in urine.
