Intended Use
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 Enterococcus 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 Minocycline in the range of 0.016 - 256 µg/ml with non-fastidious Gram negative and Gram positive aerobic bacteria.

No
The summary describes a traditional antimicrobial susceptibility testing method based on a predefined antibiotic gradient on agar media and overnight incubation, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
This device is for in vitro diagnostic use, specifically for determining the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of antibiotics against bacteria. It is not used to treat or prevent disease in a living organism.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "For in vitro diagnostic use" and describes the device's function in determining antimicrobial susceptibility and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) for bacteria, which are diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states it "comprises a predefined antibiotic gradient" and is "tested on agar media," indicating physical components are involved in the testing process, not just software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The document explicitly states "For in vitro diagnostic use". It also describes the device's purpose as determining the antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria, which is a diagnostic test performed outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description details a system used to test bacteria on agar media, which is a common method for in vitro diagnostic testing in microbiology.

The information provided clearly indicates that the Etest is designed and intended for use in a laboratory setting to diagnose the susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics, which falls under the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Re: K990297 Trade Name: Etest® Minocycline Regulatory Class: II Product Code: JWY Dated: January 27, 1999 Received: January 29, 1999

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 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 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.
