Intended Use
The SIRSCAN automated zone reader device is a video-camera image analysis computer-based system to read susceptibility test data from NCCLS M2-A6 Kirby-Bauer disk-diffusion test plates for the following organisms: enterobacteriacae; staphylococci, (except coagulase negative staphylococci with weak growth); and non-fermenting gram negative bacilli (except strains with weak growth). Other susceptibility tests on solid medium are read with the electronic caliper, and the results of susceptibility tests in other media can be keved in manually. The SIRSCAN data management system compiles data from the NCCLS agar disk diffusion test. It prints, files and produces integrated results reports, reqularly or on request, to be used by clinicians, bacteriologists and epidemiologists. Its expert system feature offers consistency checks for validation of tests and results. In addition, the SIRSCAN data management system: interprets zones; calculates MICs; provides quality control and epidemiology and infection control; identifies and eliminates duplicates: compares patient histories: classifies and monitors resistance phenotypes; monitors multi-resistant organisms; detects and monitors nosocomial infections; and prepares epidemiological statistics. SIRSCAN can be connected to any laboratory management system, as well as to some micro-dilution systems (e.g., Vitek™, Microscan™).

More Information

Not Found

Yes
The document explicitly mentions an "expert system feature," which is a type of AI technology.

No
The device is used to read and manage susceptibility test data, providing information for clinicians, bacteriologists, and epidemiologists, but it does not directly treat or diagnose any medical condition.

Yes
The device reads susceptibility test data and compiles reports for clinicians, bacteriologists, and epidemiologists to use, which is a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states that SIRSCAN consists of two components, one of which is the "SIRSCAN automated zone reader device" which is described as a "video-camera image analysis computer-based system". This indicates the presence of hardware (video-camera) in addition to the software components.

Based on the provided information, the SIRSCAN device is an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The primary intended use is to read and interpret susceptibility test data from Kirby-Bauer disk-diffusion test plates. This test is performed on biological samples (bacterial cultures) in vitro (outside the body) to determine the susceptibility of microorganisms to antimicrobial agents. The results are used by clinicians and bacteriologists to guide patient treatment.
  • Device Description: The device is specifically designed to automate the reading and management of data from these in vitro susceptibility tests. It processes images of the test plates and manages the resulting data.
  • Context: The device is used in a laboratory setting by bacteriologists, which is a typical environment for IVD devices.

The fact that it uses image analysis and an "expert system feature" to process and interpret data from in vitro tests strongly aligns with the definition of an IVD device.

Dear Mr. Scheineson:

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 Ouality System Regulation (OS) 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 vour 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.
