Device Story
MicroScan® MICroSTREP plus® Panel is a 96-well microdilution plate containing dehydrated antimicrobial agents. After rehydration with Mueller-Hinton broth and lysed horse blood, plates are inoculated with Streptococcus pneumoniae and incubated for 20-24 hours. The device uses optics light detection to measure bacterial growth in wells. The MicroScan® WalkAway instrument automates the reading process, replacing manual visual inspection. The system determines the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) by identifying the lowest concentration inhibiting growth. Results assist clinicians in selecting appropriate antibiotic therapy for patients with Streptococcus pneumoniae infections. The system automatically suppresses SIR interpretation for non-pneumoniae streptococci, reporting only MIC values.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Reproducibility study (10 isolates, 3 sites, 3 days) showed >95% reproducibility for both manual and automated methods. Comparison study using 53 CDC challenge isolates of S. pneumoniae demonstrated 98.1% Essential Agreement (EA) for both manual and automated reading methods compared to reference broth dilution. No very major or major discrepancies were observed; one additional minor error occurred with the automated method. Quality control using S. pneumoniae ATCC 49619 confirmed performance consistency.
Technological Characteristics
Miniaturized broth dilution panel; 96-well format. Reagents: Mueller-Hinton broth, 2-5% lysed horse blood, 50 mM HEPES. Energy source: WalkAway instrument (electrical). Connectivity: Integrated with MicroScan WalkAway system. Sterilization: Not specified. Software: Automated optical reading of growth inhibition.
Indications for Use
Indicated for testing Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated colonies from culture to determine susceptibility to Cefuroxime at concentrations of 0.12 – 8 µg/mL using the MicroScan® WalkAway System. Prescription use only. Turbidity method of inoculum preparation required.

I. **Device Description:**
The MicroScan® MICroSTREP *plus®* Panel is a 96-well plastic dish which contains microdilutions of each antimicrobic in various concentrations dried in aqueous solutions. The panel is rehydrated and inoculated at the same time with a Mueller-Hinton broth supplemented with lysed horse blood (2 – 5%). The target inoculum concentration for each well should be approximately 5 × 10⁵ colony forming units (CFU)/mL. Panels are incubated in a 35°C non-CO₂ incubator for 20-24 hours. After incubation, the panels are read manually for growth. Additionally, panels may be incubated in and read by a MicroScan® WalkAway instrument. Each panel contains a “growth” but it does not contain a “no growth” control well.

# K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable):
"Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST) Systems; Guidance for Industry and FDA"; CLSI M7 (M100-S16) "Methods for Dilution Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria That Grow Aerobically; Approved Standard."
# L. Test Principle:
The antimicrobial susceptibility tests are miniaturizations of the broth dilution susceptibility test that have been diluted in water and dehydrated. Various antimicrobial agents are diluted in water, buffer or minute concentrations of broth to concentrations bridging the range of clinical interest. Panels are rehydrated with $115~\mu \mathrm{L}$ Mueller-Hinton broth supplemented with $2 - 5\%$ lysed horse blood (LHB), after inoculation of the broth with a standardized suspension of the organism. The target inoculum concentration for each well should be approximately $5\times 10^{5}$ colony forming units (CFU)/mL. After incubation in a non- $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ incubator for 20-24 hours, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for the test organisms is determined by observing the lowest antimicrobial concentration showing inhibition of growth. Panels can be read manually using indirect light or the panels can be read on the MicroScan® WalkAway instrument using optics light detection.
# M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
# This submission is for the AST Panel only. The ID System was not reviewed.
The Reproducibility studies, QC performance data, and Challenge isolates evaluated by the manual and automated reading methods are required to demonstrate that there is no difference between manual reading and automated reading in the MicroScan® WalkAway System. The clinical efficacy performance was previously established using the manual read method and was therefore not required for this submission.

1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Reproducibility was demonstrated using 10 isolates tested at 3 sites on 3 separate days in triplicate. The study included testing on the MicroScan® WalkAway System with automated reading at 20-24 hours, and manual readings at 20-24 hours incubation.
Both reading methods demonstrated >95% overall reproducibility.
b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Not applicable
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or method):
The recommended QC isolate S. pneumoniae ATCC 49619 was tested a sufficient number of times with acceptable results on >95% of the testing days with the reference method. Quality control results demonstrated the ability of the different reading parameters (manual and instrument) to produce acceptable results. The following table provides the frequency of results in each concentration with the expected range stated. Both reading methods produced the same mode.
| Organism | Concentration μg/mL | Reference results | MicroScan® WalkAway results | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | | | Manual Overnight | Instrument Overnight |
| S. pneumoniae ATCC 49619
Expected range 0.25-1 μg/mL | <=0.12 | | | |

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Clinical efficacy testing with manual result reading was conducted in the previous submission (K020820). In this submission, Challenge isolates were evaluated by the manual and automated reading methods to demonstrate that there is no difference between manual reading and instrument reading on the MicroScan® WalkAway System. There were 53 Streptococcus pneumoniae challenge isolates from the CDC Challenge Set tested at one site and compared to the reference broth dilution result. A comparison was done with readings on the instrument after 20 hours incubation, and also read manually when incubated for 20-24 hours. Performance by the automated reading method was acceptable with no differences or trends.
The CLSI provides breakpoints for cefuroxime only for S. pneumoniae. With the exception of S. pneumoniae, SIR interpretation results for all other streptococci against cefuroxime will be automatically suppressed from reporting by the Microscan WalkAway software; only MIC results will be reported.
The recommended CLSI reference method was followed with the exception of the use of a small amount (0.1%) of Pluronic (a wetting agent) in the final inoculum. A validation of the use of Pluronic in the frozen reference panel was conducted. QC was also performed with no difference apparent in the results.

EA-Essential Agreement
R-resistant isolates
maj-major discrepancies
vmj-very major discrepancies
min- minor discrepancies
Essential agreement (EA) is when the Microscan® MICroSTREP plus® panels agree with the reference test panel results exactly or within one doubling dilution of the reference method. Evaluable (Eval) are results that are within the test range and on scale.
{5}
Page 6 of 6
Automated reading results were the same as the manual reading results with no trending. There were no vmj, no maj errors, and there was one (1) additional minor errors generated by the automated reading method. No trending was observed.
The overall EA% of 98.1% and Eval EA% of 100% for both the manual read and for the automated reading were both very good. The test device had a growth rate of >95% for both the manual reading and the automated reading methods.
The comparison of the reading methods demonstrates that the manual reading method and the automated reading on the MicroScan® WalkAway System are no different. The efficacy data performed with the manual reading method would therefore be expected to have no differences. The performance data currently documented in the package insert will not change.
