No
The summary describes a system for detecting microbial growth based on CO2 production, which is a chemical detection method, not AI/ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts.
No.
The device is used for detecting microorganisms in body fluids, which is a diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one.
Yes
The device is used for the "recovery and detection of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms from blood and other body fluids," which is a diagnostic procedure to identify microbial infections.
No
The device description explicitly states that the device includes "media and an internal sensor," which are hardware components.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "qualitative procedures for recovery and detection of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms from blood and other body fluids." This describes a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples (blood and other body fluids) to diagnose or detect the presence of microorganisms.
- Device Description: The device description mentions "media and an internal sensor that detects CO2 as an indicator of microbial growth." This further confirms that the device is used to analyze a biological sample in a laboratory setting to determine the presence of microorganisms.
- Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is listed as "blood and other body fluids," which are biological samples typically used for in vitro diagnostic testing.
The information provided clearly aligns with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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.

A brief discussion of the clinical tests submitted, referenced, or relied on in the (b)(2) premarket notification submission for a determination of substantial equivalency.
Testing was performed to establish the performance characteristics of the new device including comparison to traditional culture methodology.
The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical and clinical tests that demonstrate that (b)3) the device is as safe, as effective, and performed as well or better than the legally marketed device identified in (a)(3).
Organon Teknika's BacT/Alert® Culture Bottles are used with the BacT/Alert® Microbial Detection System in qualitative procedures for enhanced recovery and detection of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms from blood and other body fluids. It is substantially equivalent to conventional culture methodologies for detection of microorganisms from blood (K903505) and other body fluids.
The assays are equivalent in the following respects:
-
- They have the same intended use: recovery and detection of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms from body fluids.
-
- They are both in-vitro diagnostic test systems which are based on microbial growth in media.
-
- Organon Teknika's BacT/Alert® Culture Bottles yield test results comparable to that seen with conventional culture methodology.
The data contained in this submission shows that BacT/Alert® Culture Bottles perform equivalent to conventional culture methodology and based on this information we hereby submit this premarket notification in accordance with section 510(k).

Dear Ms. Rivas:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the You provisions of the Federal Food, Druq, and Cosmetic Act (Act). may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Reqister. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal Laws or Regulations.
