Intended Use
The BacT/ALERT SN Culture Bottles are used with the BacT/ALERT Microbial Detection Systems in qualitative procedures for recovery and detection of anaerobic microorganisms (bacteria) from blood and other normally sterile body fluids.
Device Description
The BacT/ALERT SN Culture Bottle was developed for the same intended use as the current BacT/Alert Standard 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 Instruments where it is incubated and continuously monitored for the presence of microorganisms that will grow in the BacT/ALERT SN Bottle.

No
The summary describes a culture bottle and a detection system that monitors for microbial growth. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The detection is based on continuous monitoring, likely using physical or chemical changes associated with microbial growth, not AI/ML analysis.

No
The device is used for the detection of microorganisms, not for treating any condition.

Yes

The device is used for the recovery and detection of anaerobic microorganisms from bodily fluids, which directly aids in diagnosing infections.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Culture Bottle" and is placed into "BacT/ALERT Microbial Detection Instruments," indicating it is a physical component (a bottle) used with hardware (the instruments). This is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "qualitative procedures for recovery and detection of anaerobic microorganisms (bacteria) from blood and other normally sterile body fluids." This describes a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples to provide information about a patient's health status.
  • Device Description: The description details a culture bottle used with a microbial detection system to "provide suitable nutritional and environmental conditions for organisms commonly encountered in blood infections and normally sterile body fluids." This further reinforces its role in laboratory testing of biological samples.
  • Anatomical Site: The specified anatomical site is "Blood and other normally sterile body fluids," which are typical samples used in in vitro diagnostic testing.
  • Performance Studies: The description of performance studies involves "seeded studies were performed on 11 organisms diluted in human blood and inoculated into the BacT/ALERT SN bottle." This is a standard method for evaluating the performance of in vitro diagnostic devices that detect microorganisms in biological samples.

All these points align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

Testing was performed to establish the performance characteristics of the new device including: Seeded studies were performed on 11 organisms diluted in human blood and inoculated into the BacT/ALERT SN bottle and the BacT/Alert Standard Anaerobic bottle.

Summary of Performance Studies

Seeded studies were performed on 11 organisms diluted in human blood and inoculated into the BacT/ALERT SN bottle and the BacT/Alert Standard Anaerobic bottle. The BacT/ALERT SN culture bottle was substantially equivalent to the BacT/Alert Standard Anaerobic Culture Bottle based on recovery of low levels of the 11 microorganisms included in the study. Detection times were comparable in both 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.

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 (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.
