The device description and performance studies focus on traditional microbiological methods (visible growth, color changes, pH changes, metabolite production) and do not mention any AI/ML components or algorithms for interpretation or analysis.
No
The device is used for measuring susceptibility to antimicrobial agents and determining biochemical identification of organisms, which aids in diagnosis rather than direct treatment.
Yes
The device is used for "quantitatively measuring ... the susceptibility of rapidly growing aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacterial pathogens to a battery of antimicrobial agents and determining the biochemical identification of those organisms." This process involves gathering information to determine the nature or existence of a medical condition or to identify contributing factors to a medical condition, which aligns with the definition of a diagnostic device.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical panel containing antimicrobial agents and biochemical substrates, which is inoculated and incubated. The results are observed visually. This involves physical components and processes, not solely software.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the panels are used for "quantitatively measuring... the susceptibility of rapidly growing aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacterial pathogens to a battery of antimicrobial agents and determining the biochemical identification of those organisms." This is a classic description of an in vitro diagnostic test, performed on samples taken from the body (in this case, bacterial isolates).
- Device Description: The description details how the test is performed using the panels, involving inoculation with test organisms, incubation, and observation for growth or color changes. This process is conducted outside of the body to provide diagnostic information.
- Performance Studies: The document describes clinical testing and reproducibility testing performed on bacterial strains and clinical isolates, which are samples used in in vitro diagnostic procedures.
The entire context of the document, including the focus on testing bacterial susceptibility and identification using laboratory panels, clearly indicates that this device is intended for use in vitro to provide diagnostic information.

Device Description
Varying concentrations of antimicrobial agents (usually in twofold dilutions) are dispensed into the Pasco panels and the panels are then frozen. Panels are thawed prior to use, inoculated with the test organisms, incubated the traditional 16-24 hours and then observed for visible growth or color changes as described in the package insert.
The lowest concentration of each antimicrobial agent with no apparent visible growth of the test organism is recorded as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Changes in pH and production of specific metabolites from growth in biochemical substrates are interpreted as described in the package insert for conventional tubed media.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
Test panels containing Minocycline at concentrations ranging from 32 to 0.03 mcg/ml were prepared in-house at Pasco using routine manufacturing procedures. Comparative testing of the Pasco test panel to a reference panel was performed at two sites using CDC challenge strains and clinical Isolates.
Summary of Performance Studies
Comparative testing to a reference panel. Test results of the 334 gram-negative Strains demonstrated acceptable Essential Agreement (EA) of 99.8% upon initial testing and 100% upon retesting. No Major (M) or Very Major (VM) errors were observed. Category Agreement (CA) was 100% with twenty-one random minor errors noted. Test results of the gram-positive Strains demonstrated acceptable Essential Agreement (EA) of 100%. No Major (M) or Very Major (VM) errors were observed. Category Agreement (CA) was 100% with six random minor errors noted. QC endpoints from both the reference and Pasco panels throughout testing were within the recommended acceptable ranges listed in the product information and NCCLS with the exception of 7 endpoints which were within 1 dilution of the mode for the strains tested. Reproducibility testing of 12 organisms at each site provided 7 onscale endpoints. Overall reproducibility data demonstrated 99.5% within the acceptable plus or minus 1 dilution.

§ 866.1620 Antimicrobial susceptibility test disc.
(a)
Identification. An antimicrobial susceptibility test disc is a device that consists of antimicrobic-impregnated paper discs used to measure by a disc-agar diffusion technique or a disc-broth elution technique the in vitro susceptibility of most clinically important bacterial pathogens to antimicrobial agents. In the disc-agar diffusion technique, bacterial susceptibility is ascertained by directly measuring the magnitude of a zone of bacterial inhibition around the disc on an agar surface. The disc-broth elution technique is associated with an automated rapid susceptibility test system and employs a fluid medium in which susceptibility is ascertained by photometrically measuring changes in bacterial growth resulting when antimicrobial material is eluted from the disc into the fluid medium. Test results are used to determine the antimicrobial agent of choice in the treatment of bacterial diseases.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Class II Antimicrobial Susceptibility CLASSIFICATION NAME: Test Microbiology Panel #83
SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE:
In review of previous 510(k) notifications for the Pasco MIC and MIC/ID panels (most recently K980955 May 18, 1998 RE: Trovafloxacin; K974362, February 12, 1998 RE: Cefepime; K973317, November 14, 1997 RE: Cefpodoxime; K973695, November 5, 1997 RE: Meropenem; K972567, August 20,1997 RE: Sparfloxacin; K971951, August 15, 1997 RE: Levofloxacin; and K946126, January 17, 1995 Detection of Resistant pneumococci), the FDA has determined RE : the Pasco panels to be substantially equivalent to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments.
The term "substantial equivalence" as used in this 510(k) notification is limited to the definition of substantial equivalence as found in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended and as applied under 21 CFR 807, Subpart E under which a device can be marketed without pre-market approval or reclassification. A determination of substantial equivalency under this notification is not intended to have any bearing whatsoever on the resolution of patent infringement suits or any other patent matters. No statements related to, or in support of substantial equivalence herein shall be construed as an admission against interest under the US Patent Laws or their application by the courts.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE:
Varying concentrations of antimicrobial agents (usually in twofold dilutions) are dispensed into the Pasco panels and the panels are then frozen. Panels are thawed prior to use, inoculated with the test organisms, incubated the traditional 16-24 hours and then observed for visible growth or color changes as described in the package insert.

INTENDED USE FOR THE PASCO MIC AND MIC/ID PANELS: PASCO MIC AND MIC/ID PANELS are used for quantitatively measuring (with the exception of the Breakpoint/ID panel which provides qualitative measurement or category results) the susceptibility of rapidly growing aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacterial pathogens to a battery of antimicrobial agents and determining the biochemical identification of those organisms.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE TESTING: Test panels containing Minocycline at concentrations ranging from 32 to 0.03 mcg/ml were prepared in-house at Pasco using routine manufacturing procedures. Comparative testing of the Pasco test panel to a reference panel was performed at two sites using CDC challenge strains and clinical Isolates.
Test results of the 334 gram-negative Strains demonstrated acceptable Essential Agreement (EA) of 99.8% upon initial testing and 100% upon retesting. No Major (M) or Very Major (VM) errors were observed. Category Agreement (CA) was 100% with twenty-one random minor errors noted.
Test results of the gram-positive Strains demonstrated acceptable Essential Agreement (EA) of 100%. No Major (M) or Very Major (VM) errors were observed. Category Agreement (CA) was 100% with six random minor errors noted.
QC endpoints from both the reference and Pasco panels throughout testing were within the recommended acceptable ranges listed in the product information and NCCLS with the exception of 7 endpoints which were within 1 dilution of the mode for the strains tested.
Reproducibility testing of 12 organisms at each site provided 7 onscale endpoints. Overall reproducibility data demonstrated 99.5% within the acceptable plus or minus 1 dilution.
The results of the clinical testing, reproducibility testing and QC performance testing supports Substantial Equivalence as outlined in the FDA draft document "Review Criteria For Assessment Of Antimicrobial Susceptibility Devices" (May 1991).
