For in vitro diagnostic use: Etest is a quantitative technique for the determination of antimicrobial susceptibility of both non-fastidious Gram negative and Gram positive aerobic bacteria, such as Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus and Enterocccus species and fastidious bacteria, such as anaerobes, Pneumococcus and Haemophilus species. The system comprises a predefined antibiotic gradient which is used to determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) in µg/ml of individual antibiotics against bacteria as tested on agar media by overnight incubation. This Etest 510(k) application is for MIC determination of Benzylpenicillin in the range of 0.016 - 256 µg/ml or 0.002 - 32 µg/ml with non-fastidious Gram positive aerobic bacteria, S. pneumoniae, streptococci other than S. pneumoniae, N. gonorrhoeae and anaerobic bacteria.
Not Found
The provided text is a 510(k) premarket notification letter from the FDA regarding the Etest® Benzylpenicillin device. It acknowledges that the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices. However, this document does not contain the detailed acceptance criteria and study information typically found in a device submission.
Specifically, the document does not provide any of the following information:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
- Sample sizes used for the test set or data provenance.
- Number of experts used to establish ground truth or their qualifications.
- Adjudication method for the test set.
- Information about a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study.
- Information about a standalone (algorithm only) performance study.
- The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.).
- The sample size for the training set.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established.
The document primarily focuses on regulatory approval based on substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices. It states the indications for use and classification information. To obtain the requested study details, one would typically need access to the full 510(k) submission, which is not included here.

Dear Ms. Bolmström:
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 legally marketed predicate 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 provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You 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 requirements, as set forth in the Quality System " Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic OS 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 Register. 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.

Under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA-88), this device may require a CLIA complexity categorization. To determine if it does, you should contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at (770)488-7655.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4588. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll free number (800) 638-2041 or at (301) 443-6597 or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmamain.html"
