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 processes. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is explicitly marked as "Not Found".
No
This device is for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use, specifically for determining the susceptibility of bacteria to antimicrobial agents and for biochemical identification of organisms. It does not provide therapy to patients.
Yes
The device is used to determine the susceptibility of bacterial pathogens to antimicrobial agents and to identify those organisms, which falls under the definition of a diagnostic device.
No
The device description explicitly states that the device consists of frozen panels containing antimicrobial agents, which are thawed, inoculated, incubated, and then visually observed. 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, as it involves analyzing biological samples (bacterial pathogens) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's condition (susceptibility to antibiotics and identification of the organism).
- Device Description: The description details how the test is performed using prepared panels, inoculated with test organisms, incubated, and then observed for growth or color changes. This process is conducted in vitro (in a lab setting, outside the living organism).
- Performance Studies: The performance studies involve testing the device against reference methods using bacterial strains and clinical isolates. This type of testing is standard for evaluating the accuracy and reliability of IVD devices.
The entire context of the document, including the focus on measuring susceptibility and identification of pathogens using laboratory methods, clearly indicates that this device falls under the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

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.

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. pneumoniae strains demonstrated acceptable Essential Agreement (EA) of 98.1% upon initial testing and an EA of 98.7% upon retesting. Test results of the 130 non-pneumococcal streptococci strains demonstrated acceptable Essential Agreement (EA) of 100%. Reproducibility testing of 12 organisms at each site provided 7 organisms with on-scale endpoints.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
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. pneumoniae strains demonstrated acceptable Essential Agreement (EA) of 98.1% upon initial testing and an EA of 98.7% upon retesting. One major (M) error was observed upon initial testing and although retest results were acceptable, this error was not considered resolved since the reference method MIC results did not change. Category agreement (CA) was 99.4% with 2 additional random categorical errors noted (which were within EA).
Test results of the 130 non-pneumococcal streptococci strains demonstrated acceptable Essential Agreement (EA) of 100%. No major (M) or very major (VM) or minor errors were observed. Category Agreement (CA) was 100% with 1 random categorical error noted (which was within EA).
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 with the exception of one test panel result of ≤ 0.03 mcg/ml at the CDC which was within range on the next test date.
Reproducibility testing of 12 organisms at each site provided 7 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 OC performance testing supports Substantial Equivalence as outlined in the FDA draft document "Review Criteria For Assessment Of Antimicrobial Susceptibility Devices" (May 1991).
Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)
Essential Agreement (EA) of 98.1% (S. pneumoniae, initial), 98.7% (S. pneumoniae, retesting), 100% (non-pneumococcal streptococci).

§ 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)

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 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 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 Meropenem at concentrations ranging from 2-0.03 mcg/ml were prepared inhouse 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. pneumoniae strains demonstrated acceptable Essential Agreement (EA) of 98.1% upon initial testing and an EA of 98.7% upon retesting. One major (M) error was observed upon initial testing and although retest results were acceptable, this error was not considered resolved since the reference method MIC results did not change. Category agreement (CA) was 99.4% with 2 additional random categorical errors noted (which were within EA). Test results of the 130 non-pneumococcal streptococci strains demonstrated acceptable Essential Agreement (EA) of 100%. No major (M) or very major (VM) or minor errors were observed. Category Agreement (CA) was 100% with 1 random categorical error noted (which was within EA).
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 with the exception of one test panel result of ≤ 0.03 mcg/ml at the CDC which was within range on the next test date.
Reproducibility testing of 12 organisms at each site provided 7 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 OC performance testing supports Substantial Equivalence as outlined in the FDA draft document "Review Criteria For Assessment Of Antimicrobial Susceptibility Devices" (May 1991).
