Indications for Use
The MicroScan® MICroSTREP plus® Panel is used to determine quantitative and/or qualitative antimicrobial agent susceptibility of colonies grown on solid media of aerobic streptococci including Streptococcus pneumoniae. After inoculation, panels are incubated for 20 -24 hours at 35°C +/- 1°C in a non-CO2 incubator, and read visually. Alternatively, the panels can be incubated in and read by the MicroScan® WalkAway System, according to the Package insert.
Device Story
MicroScan® MICroSTREP plus Panels are miniaturized, dehydrated broth dilution susceptibility tests; used to determine minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Linezolid (0.12-16 µg/mL) for aerobic streptococci. Panels rehydrated with Mueller-Hinton broth supplemented with 3% lysed horse blood; inoculated with standardized organism suspension. Incubation occurs in non-CO2 incubator for 20-24 hours. MIC determined by manual visual observation of growth inhibition or via automated MicroScan® WalkAway System. Results assist clinicians in identifying antimicrobial susceptibility profiles to guide antibiotic therapy.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Study included 493 total isolates (443 efficacy, 50 challenge). Combined performance showed 97.2% Essential Agreement (EA) and 99.8% Category Agreement (CA). Reproducibility >95% across three sites. Quality control using S. pneumoniae ATCC 49619 met expected ranges.
Technological Characteristics
Miniaturized broth microdilution; dehydrated antimicrobial agent in water/buffer. Rehydrated with Mueller-Hinton broth + 3% lysed horse blood. Growth-based detection. Manual visual read or automated optical detection via MicroScan® WalkAway System. Incubation 20-24 hours at 35°C ± 1°C in non-CO2 environment.
Indications for Use
Indicated for determining quantitative and/or qualitative antimicrobial agent susceptibility of aerobic streptococci, including S. pneumoniae, S. pyogenes, S. agalactiae, and Viridans group streptococci. For prescription use only. Requires turbidity inoculation method.
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.

## L. Test Principle:
The antimicrobial susceptibility tests are miniaturizations of the broth dilution susceptibility test that have been diluted in water and dehydrated. The antimicrobial agent is 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 3% lysed horse blood (LHB), after inoculation of the broth with a standardized suspension of the organism. After incubation in a non-CO₂ incubator for 20-24 hours, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for the test organism is manually read by observing the lowest antimicrobial concentration showing inhibition of growth. Alternatively, the panel can be incubated in and read by the MicroScan® WalkAway System.
## M. Performance Characteristics:
### 1. Analytical performance:
#### a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Reproducibility was demonstrated using 10 isolates tested at three sites on three separate days in triplicates. The study included the turbidity inoculum method with reading performed manually, by WalkAway instrument. Both within site and site to site results were >95% reproducible.

Quality control results demonstrated the ability of the different reading parameters (manual, and WalkAway) by Turbidity inoculation methods to produce acceptable results.

Inoculum density control: A turbidity meter was used for the turbidity inoculation method. Inoculum density was controlled by monitoring the daily results of the MicroScan® Turbidity Meter to ensure the correct final concentration of the organisms for both the reference and test device.

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Clinical efficacy testing was conducted at three external sites using fresh isolates supplemented with stock isolates. The study included a total of 443 Streptococci isolates, with a no growth rate of 0.89% (4/447). There were 319 (72%) fresh and 124 (28%) stock isolates. There were 50 challenge isolates tested at one site and compared to the reference broth dilution result mode that was determined by previous testing of each isolate multiple times in the
{5}
recommended reference panel.
The recommended CLSI reference method was followed with the exception of the use of Pluronic- $\mathbf{F}^{\text{®}}$ in the final inoculum. A validation of the use of Pluronic- $\mathbf{F}^{\text{®}}$ in the frozen reference panels was conducted.
Efficacy testing was performed using the turbidity inoculation method and read manually after incubation for 20- 24 hours at $35^{\circ}\mathrm{C} + / - 1^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ in a non- $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ incubator. A comparison to the reference method was provided with the following agreement.

maj - Major Discrepancies
vmj -- Very Major Discrepancies
min - Minor Discrepancies
EA is when there is agreement between the reference method and the new method is within plus or minus one serial two-fold dilution of antibiotic. Category agreement (CA) is when the new method result interpretation agrees exactly with the reference panel result interpretation. Evaluable EA is when the MIC result is on scale for both the new method and the reference method and have on-scale EA.
It was noted in the Efficacy and Challenge studies that the trending of the S. pneumoniae read was generally one dilution lower when comparing to the reference read. The S. pneumoniae isolates tested were close to the breakpoint of $2\mu \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mL}$ and a limitation is in place.
The performance of the alternate MicroScan® WalkAway System (incubation and read methods) was demonstrated in challenge, quality control, and reproducibility studies with acceptable results.

Streptococcus spp, including S. pneumoniae
≤2 (S), --, --
The current absence of data on resistant strains precludes defining any categories other than "Susceptible." Strains yielding test results suggestive of a "nonsusceptible" category should be retested, and if the result is confirmed, the isolate should be submitted to a reference laboratory for further testing.
N. Proposed Labeling:
The labeling is sufficient and satisfies the requirements of 21 CFR Part 809.10.
O. Conclusion:
The submitted information in this premarket notification is complete and supports a substantial equivalence decision.
