The description details a traditional agar diffusion method for antimicrobial susceptibility testing, relying on manual measurement of inhibition zones and comparison to established criteria. There is no mention of automated analysis, image processing, or any computational methods that would suggest the use of AI/ML.
No
This device is an in vitro diagnostic test used to determine antimicrobial susceptibility for bacteria, which aids in selecting suitable therapy but is not a therapeutic device itself.
Yes
Explanation: The device is used for "Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of bacteria by standardized agar diffusion" and "confirmatory tests for organisms that secrete Extended-spectrum ß-lactamases (ESBL)s". This involves determining the susceptibility of bacteria to antimicrobial agents and identifying specific bacterial characteristics, which are diagnostic processes.
No
The device is a physical product (susceptibility test discs) made of impregnated paper, not software.
Based on the provided text, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The text explicitly states the discs are used for "semi-quantitative susceptibility testing of bacteria by standardized agar diffusion" and for "confirmatory tests for organisms that secrete Extended-spectrum ß-lactamases (ESBL)s". This testing is performed in vitro (outside of a living organism) on biological samples (bacterial cultures).
- Device Description: The description details the composition and function of the discs, which are used in a laboratory setting for diagnostic purposes.
- Performance Studies: The document describes performance studies conducted to evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of the device in identifying ESBLs in bacterial strains. This type of testing is characteristic of IVD devices.
- Regulatory Context: The mention of standardized procedures from organizations like the FDA, WHO, and NCCLS further indicates that this device operates within the regulatory framework for IVDs.
The device is designed to provide information about the susceptibility of bacteria to antimicrobial agents and to confirm the presence of ESBLs, which is crucial for guiding clinical treatment decisions. This aligns directly with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
Cefotaxime/Clavulanic Acid and Ceftazidime/Clavulanic Acid susceptibility test discs are prepared by impreanating high quality absorbent paper with accurately determined amounts of Cefotaxime, supplied by Marion Roussel, Inc., Kansas City, MO, and Ceftazidime, supplied by Glaxo Wellcome Operations, Cumbria, UK, respectively. Both discs are also impregnated with specific amounts of Clavulanic Acid supplied by SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals, Piscataway, NJ.
The disks are clearly marked with the agents: CTX/CLA and CAZ/CLA. Cefotaxime/Clavulanic Acid and Ceftazidime/Clavulanic Acid susceptibility test discs are provided in cartridges of 50 disks each and packaged separately.
Agar diffusion methods employing dried filter paper discs impregnated with specific concentrations of antimicrobial agents were developed in the 1940's. In order to eliminate or minimize variability in the testing, Bauer et al. developed a standardized procedure in which Mueller Hinton Agar was selected as the test medium.
Various regulatory agencies and standards-writing organizations subsequently published standardized reference procedures based on the Bauer-Kirby method. Among the earliest and most widely accepted of these standardized procedures were those published by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The procedure was adopted as a consensus standard by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) and is periodically updated. The latest NCCLS documents are M2-A6' (1/97) and M100-S92 (1/99).
Disks containing an antimicrobial agent are applied to the surface of Mueller Hinton Agar plates inoculated with pure cultures of clinical isolates. Following incubation, the plates are examined and the zones of inhibition surrounding the discs are measured and compared with established zone size ranges for the antimicrobial agents in order to determine which is most suitable for use in therapy. The determination as to whether the organism is susceptible (S), intermediate (I), or resistant (R) to an antimicrobial agent is made by comparing zone sizes to the interpretive criteria defined in the tables of NCCLS document M100-S9.

Summary of Performance Studies
A Reproducibility Study was performed at three sites to determine the reproducibility of the product using the NCCLS recommended negative and positive Quality Control organisms. The study was performed in triplicate at three test sites for ten days using three lots of disks. Zone sizes formed around the test disks were examined, recorded and compared to the zone sizes achieved with disks containing the Cefotaxime and Ceftazidime alone. Average zone sizes and the standard deviation for each single and combination disk and the difference between the two were calculated. Expected results were obtained in all cases.
An internal reproducibility study was performed to determine the reproducibility of results between different individuals performing the test. This test used ten organism strains of various resistance mechanisms. Three individuals tested the ten strains on three different days in triplicate, using one lot of test disks. All zones of inhibition were recorded. Variability between individual tests by the same person and between participants was examined. All results met the acceptance criteria.
Testing was also performed to determine the performance of the product using the Jacoby challenge set of organisms. The study followed the procedure described in the NCCLS M100-S9 document. Expected results were obtained in all cases.
Accuracy testing was performed to compare the performance of production Cefotaxime/Clavulanic Acid and Cetazidime/Clavulanic Acid BBL™ Sensi-Discs to disks prepared in the laboratory as described in the NCCLS M100-S9 document, for confirmatory tests for organisms secreting Extended-spectrum B-lactamases. Both the screening and confirmatory tests were performed as described in the document. Organisms tested included genotypic and phenotypic ESBL strains and non-ESBL strains. QC organisms were run each day of testing. Results from the production disks were compared to results obtained with disks made in the laboratory.
QC testing over the course of the study was acceptable. All expected outcomes were achieved during the screening test. All production disks results correlated with laboratory disks with 100% equivalency in performance. Expected outcomes were met for all of the genotypic and non-ESBL strains. The phenotypic strains performed as expected with the exception of four K. oxytoca strains. These four strains were not detected as ESBL by the reference or test disks. Overall performance accuracy was 95% and meets the acceptance criteria as outlined in the study protocol.

§ 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)

Strains of Klebsiella spp. and E. coli that produce extended spectrum betalactamases (ESBLs) may be clinically resistant to therapy with penicillins, cephalosporins or aztreonam, despite in vitro susceptibility to some of these agents. Some of these strains will show zones of inhibition below the normal susceptible population but above the standard breakpoints for certain extendedspectrum cepahlosporins or aztreonam; such strains may be screened for potential ESBL production by using screening breakpoints. Other strains may test intermediate or resistant by standard breakpoints to one or more of those agents. In all strains with ESBLs the zone diameters should increase in the presence of clayulanic acid. (A ≥5mm increase in zone diameter for either cefotaxime or ceftazidime tested in combination with clavulanic acid versus its zone when tested alone means the organism is an ESBL-producing strain.)
For all ESBL-producing strains the test interpretation should be reported as resistant for all penicillins, cephalosporins, and aztreonam.
