No
The summary describes a culture bottle and a microbial detection instrument that monitors for growth. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The performance studies focus on comparing the recovery and time to detection of microorganisms between the new device and a predicate device, which is a standard microbiological evaluation.
No
This device is used for the detection of microorganisms, not for treating any condition.
Yes
The device is used to detect anaerobic microorganisms from blood and other sterile body fluids, which is a qualitative procedure for identifying the presence of pathogens, thereby aiding in diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "Culture Bottle" and is used with a "BacT/ALERT Microbial Detection Instrument," indicating it is a physical component (a bottle) and interacts with hardware (the instrument).
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "qualitative procedures for enhanced recovery and detection of anaerobic microorganisms from blood and other normally sterile body fluids." This describes a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples (blood and body fluids) to provide diagnostic information (detection of microorganisms).
- Device Description: The description details a "culture bottle" used with a "Microbial Detection Instrument" to "monitor for the presence of microorganisms." This is a classic description of an in vitro diagnostic test system.
- Anatomical Site: The samples are taken from "Blood and other normally sterile body fluids," which are biological specimens used in in vitro diagnostics.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies involve "seeded studies" using "human blood" and comparing the recovery of organisms in the culture bottles. This is testing the performance of the in vitro diagnostic method.
The core function of the device is to facilitate the growth and detection of microorganisms in vitro from patient samples to aid in diagnosis. This aligns perfectly with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The BacT/ALERT FN Culture Bottle was developed for the same intended use as the current BacT/Alert FAN Anaerobic Culture Bottle, to provide suitable nutritional and environmental conditions for organisms commonly encountered in blood infections and normally sterile body fluids. An inoculated bottle is placed into the BacT/ALERT Microbial Detection Instrument where it is incubated and continously monitored for the presence of microorganisms that will grow in the BacT/ALERT FN Culture Bottle.

Summary of Performance Studies
Seeded studies were performed on eleven anaerobic organisms diluted in human blood. The inoculums were seeded into the BacT/ALERT FN Culture Bottle and the BacT/Alert FAN Anaerobic Culture Bottle. Recovery of the seeded organisms were compared between the two culture bottles.

§ 866.2560 Microbial growth monitor.
(a)
Identification. A microbial growth monitor is a device intended for medical purposes that measures the concentration of bacteria suspended in a liquid medium by measuring changes in light scattering properties, optical density, electrical impedance, or by making direct bacterial counts. The device aids in the diagnosis of disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms.(b)
Classification. Class I. With the exception of automated blood culturing system devices that are used in testing for bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms in blood and other normally sterile body fluids, this device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter.

510(k) Premarket Notification Organon Teknika Corporation BacT/ALERT FN Culture Bottle
A brief discussion of the nonclinical tests submitted, referenced, or relied on in the (b)1) premarket notification submission for a determination of substantial equivalency.
Testing was performed to establish the performance characteristics of the new device including:
Seeded studies were performed on eleven anaerobic organisms diluted in human blood. The inoculums were seeded into the BacT/ALERT FN Culture Bottle and the BacT/Alert FAN Anaerobic Culture Bottle. Recovery of the seeded organisms were compared between the two culture bottles.
(b)3) The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical and clinical tests that demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and performed as well or better than the legally marketed device identified in (a)(3).
The BacT/ALERT FN Culture Bottle has the same intended use and uses the same detection methodology as the predicate device, the current BacT/Alert FAN Anaerobic Culture Bottle. BacT/ALERT FN Culture Bottle was found to be substantially equivalent to the BacT/Alert FAN Anaerobic Culture Bottle based on recovery of low levels of eleven anaerobic organisms. Times to detection were also equivalent between both the BacT/ALERT FN Culture Bottle and the predicate device, the current BacT/Alert FAN Anaerobic Culture Bottle.

Dear Ms. Rivas:
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 (OS) 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.
