Device Story
MicroScan® MICroSTREP plus® Panel is a 96-well plastic dish containing dehydrated antimicrobial agents; rehydrated with Mueller-Hinton broth and lysed horse blood (2–5%) after inoculation with standardized organism suspension (approx. 5 x 10⁵ CFU/mL). Panels incubated 20-24 hours at 35°C. Device uses optics light detection to measure growth in wells; determines Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) based on inhibition of growth. Used in clinical microbiology laboratories; operated by technicians. Automated reading via MicroScan® WalkAway System provides quantitative/qualitative susceptibility results. Output assists clinicians in selecting appropriate antibiotic therapy for Streptococcus pneumoniae infections.
Clinical Evidence
Performance evaluated using stock and CDC Challenge strains. Comparison of instrument-read results against expected results (CLSI frozen reference panels). Overall Essential Agreement for Cefaclor was 92.5%. Reproducibility, precision, and quality control testing demonstrated acceptable performance.
Technological Characteristics
Miniaturized broth dilution panel; rehydrated with Mueller-Hinton broth, 2-5% lysed horse blood, and 50 mM HEPES. Incubation at 35°C +/- 1°C. Manual or automated (MicroScan WalkAway) optical reading of growth inhibition. Connectivity via WalkAway instrument.
Indications for Use
Indicated for determining quantitative and/or qualitative antimicrobial susceptibility of aerobic streptococci, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, grown on solid media. Specifically for Cefaclor (0.5 - 8 mcg/ml) testing.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An antimicrobial susceptibility test powder is a device that consists of an antimicrobial drug powder packaged in vials in specified amounts and intended for use in clinical laboratories for determining in vitro susceptibility of bacterial pathogens to these therapeutic agents. Test results are used to determine the antimicrobial agent of choice in the treatment of bacterial diseases.

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 μL 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 x 10⁵ colony forming units (CFU)/mL. After incubation in a non-CO₂ 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 9 isolates tested at 4 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% reproducibility, and no differences were observed.
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 most testing days for >95% agreement 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. The instrument overnight reading method produced the same mode as the reference method results.
| Organism | Concentration μg/mL | Reference results | MicroScan® WalkAway results | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | | | Manual Overnight | Instrument Overnight |
| S. pneumoniae ATCC 49619
Expected range 1 – 4 μg/mL | <=0.25 | | | |
| | 0.5 | | | |
| | 1 | 1 | | |
| | 2 | 59 | 31 | 36 |
| | 4 | 2 | 37 | 29 |
| | 8 | | | 1 |
| | >8 | | | 2 |
Inoculum density control: A turbidity meter, which was verified each day of testing, was used for the turbidity inoculation method. Colony counts were performed weekly, on the ATCC S. pneumoniae with all results in the expected range of approximately 5 x 10⁵.
There is a slight trend for the instrument overnight reading method to produce more susceptible results, if only by one dilution.

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Clinical efficacy testing with manual result reading was conducted in the previous submission (K020691). 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 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. There was a slight trend for the overnight instrument reading method to produce more susceptible results than the manual reading method, if only by one dilution.

EA-Essential Agreement

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.
Automated reading results were the same as the manual reading results with no trending. There were no maj errors, one (1/35, 2.9%) vmj

produced by both reading methods, and no additional min errors generated by the automated reading method. There were a limited number of evaluable on-scale results, therefore, no real trending was observed. The overall EA% of 94.3% for the manual read and overall EA% of 92.5% for the automated reading were acceptable. 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 test device had a growth rate of >95% for both the manual reading and the automated reading methods.
The performance data currently documented in the package insert will not change.
