Intended Use
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. This 510(k) notification is for the addition of Amoxicillin/ Clavulanic Acid to Pasco panels at concentrations of 0.015/0.0075 to 8/4 mcg/ml for use in determining the susceptibility of S. pneumoniae and non-pneumococcal streptococci.
Device Description
Varying concentrations of antimicrobial agents (usually in two-fold 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 panels are 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.

No
The device description details a traditional, manual method of observing growth and color changes in panels to determine MIC and identification. There is no mention of automated analysis, image processing, or any AI/ML algorithms being used for interpretation. The performance studies focus on agreement with a reference method, not on the performance of an AI/ML model.

No
The device is used to measure the susceptibility of bacteria to antimicrobial agents and determine their biochemical identification, which is for diagnostic purposes, not therapeutic intervention.

Yes

The device's intended use is to measure the susceptibility of bacterial pathogens to antimicrobial agents and determine their biochemical identification, which are diagnostic purposes for guiding treatment decisions.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical panel containing antimicrobial agents and biochemical substrates, which is inoculated with test organisms and incubated. 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 / Indications for Use" section 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 biological samples (bacterial pathogens) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis or treatment.
  • Device Description: The description details how the panels are used to test bacterial growth in the presence of antimicrobial agents and observe biochemical changes. This process is performed in a laboratory setting, which is characteristic of IVD testing.
  • Performance Studies: The document describes comparative testing using bacterial strains and clinical isolates to evaluate the performance of the device. This type of testing is required for IVD devices to demonstrate their accuracy and reliability.

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

Test results of the 101 S. meumoniae strains demonstrated acceptable Essential Agreement (EA) of 97.4% upon initial testing and 100% upon retesting. Category Agreement (CA) was 100% vith 23 minor errors noted (all of which were within essential agreement). Test results of the 130 non-pneumococcal streptococci strains demonstrated acceptable Essential Agreement (ER) of 99.2% on initial testing. Category Agreement (CA) of the non-pneumococcal strep was 100% with 3 random minor errors noted.

QC endpoints for the QC organism S.pneumoniae ATCC 49619 from both the reference and Pasco panels throughout testing were within the recommended NCCLS acceptable range.

Reproducibility testing of 12 organisms at each site provided 11 organisms with on-scale endpoints. Overall reproducibility data demonstrated 100% within the acceptable plus and 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).

TRADE NAME OF DEVICE: Pasco MIC and MIC/ID Panels

COMMON NAME: Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test

Class II Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test CLASSIFICATION NAME: Microbiology Panel #83

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE:

In review of previous 510(k) notifications for the Pasco MIC and MIC/ID panels (most recently: K982235, July 30, 1998 RE: Minocycline; K982156, July 29, 1998 RE: Cefdinir; 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 RE: Detection of resistant pneumococci), the FDA has determined 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 premarket 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 two-fold 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 panels are then observed for visible growth or color changes as described in the package insert.

510 (k) SUMMARY (page 2 of 2)

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.

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 Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid at concentrations ranging from 8/4 to 0.015/0.0075 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 101 S. meumoniae strains demonstrated acceptable Essential Agreement (EA) of 97.4% upon initial testing and 100% upon retesting. Category Agreement (CA) was 100% vith 23 minor errors noted (all of which were within essential agreement). Test results of the 130 non-pneumococcal streptococci strains demonstrated acceptable Essential Agreement (ER) of 99.2% on initial testing. Category Agreement (CA) of the non-pneumococcal strep was 100% with 3 random minor errors noted.

With amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, antimicrobial activity is due to amoxicillin, so the strains susceptible to amoxicillin are fully susceptible to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (Augmentin) is not indicated for treating infections due to S. pneumoniae, S. pyogenes and viridans group streptococci. However, in-vitro susceptibility data are available, BUT THEIR CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE IS UNKNOWN.

QC endpoints for the QC organism S.pneumoniae ATCC 49619 from both the reference and Pasco panels throughout testing were within the recommended NCCLS acceptable range.

Reproducibility testing of 12 organisms at each site provided 11 organisms with on-scale endpoints. Overall reproducibility data demonstrated 100% 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).
