Indications for Use
The Sensititre® YeastOne® Susceptibility System is an in vitro diagnostic product for clinical susceptibility testing of Candida spp. This 510(k) is for Micafungin in the dilution range of 0.008 – 16 µg/ml is intended for testing Candida spp. on the Sensititre® YeastOne® Susceptibility system. The approved primary "Indications for Use" and clinical significance of Micafungin is for: Candida albicans Candida glabrata Candida krusei Candida parapsilosis Candida tropicalis
Device Story
Sensititre YeastOne is a micro-broth dilution susceptibility test for Candida spp. Device uses micro-dilution plates containing serially diluted antifungal agents and a colorimetric growth indicator. Clinical laboratory personnel inoculate plates using autoinoculator or manual methods; plates are sealed and incubated at 35°C for 24 hours. Growth is determined by visual observation of color change (blue to pink) in wells; lowest dilution maintaining no color change indicates Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC). Results assist clinicians in determining antifungal susceptibility profiles to guide therapeutic decisions. Ability to detect Micafungin resistance is currently unknown due to lack of resistant strains; confirmatory testing at reference labs required for non-susceptible results.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance was evaluated by comparing the Sensititre YeastOne system results for Micafungin against a reference method. Testing confirmed the system's ability to provide accurate MIC determinations for the specified Candida species within the claimed dilution range.
Technological Characteristics
Micro-dilution tray format with dried antifungal medium and colorimetric growth indicator (REDOX-based). Manual reading of color change (blue to pink). Inoculation via autoinoculator or manual pipette. Standardized using nephelometer. Complies with CLSI M27-A3 and M27-S4 standards.
Indications for Use
Indicated for in vitro clinical susceptibility testing of Candida spp. (C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. krusei, C. parapsilosis, C. tropicalis) to the antifungal agent Micafungin in the concentration range of 0.008–16 µg/ml. For prescription use only.
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.

3. Special conditions for use statement(s):
Prescription use only.
The ability of the Sensititre YeastOne to detect resistance to Micafungin is unknown because resistant strains were not available at the time of comparative testing. For strains yielding results suggestive of a not susceptible category, organism identification and Micafungin should be retested and confirmed, and if the result is confirmed, the isolate should be submitted to a reference laboratory that will confirm results using a CLSI reference dilution method.
4. Special instrument requirements:
Autoinoculator or Manual inoculation
Manual readings only

I. Device Description:
The Sensititre® YeastOne® Susceptibility system is a micro-version of the broth dilution susceptibility test. Various antifungal agents are serially diluted to concentrations bridging the range of the clinical interest in autoclaved diluent, which contains a colorimetric growth indicating compound. Each micro-dilution plate is individually packaged in foil. After inoculation, plates are sealed with an adhesive seal, incubated at 35°C for 24 hours and examined for growth.

## K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable):
Guidance for Industry and FDA Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST) Systems, August 28, 2009
CLSI M27-A3: Reference Method for Broth Dilution Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of Yeasts; Approved Standard - Third Edition, April, 2008
CLSI M27-S4: Reference Method for Broth Dilution Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of Yeasts; Fourth Informational Supplement, December, 2012
## L. Test Principle:
The Sensititre YeastOne panel measures growth by colorimetric determination of REDOX state produced by the test organism rather than measuring the turbidity of the test medium. In the Sensititre panel as in most broth dilution tests the difference between wells in which growth occurs and those in which growth is inhibited is distinctive. However, the Sensititre panel produces an easily distinguished color change when light growth occurs.
## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
### 1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Reproducibility was conducted at three sites on 25 yeast isolates, performed over three days. The testing was performed using Autoinoculator and manual inoculation methods with manual reading of panels. The mode was determined and then the reproducibility was calculated based on $\pm 1$ one well of the mode. The reproducibility studies for both inoculation methods demonstrated acceptable performance at $\geq 95\%$.
b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Not Applicable
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Quality Control (QC) testing using the manual pipette inoculation was performed on
{4}
each day of clinical testing on the QC isolates using, C. parapsilosis ATCC 22019, and C. krusei ATCC 6258, as recommended in the CLSI standard M27. The following table represents the frequency of the results in both the reference method and the Sensititre YeastOne Susceptibility plates and the acceptable range. Quality Control was also performed at three sites using the Autoinoculator method. All results, including reference method, were read manually at 24 hrs. All results were within the specified range.

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Performance was established on the Sensititre YeastOne Susceptibility System for Candida spp. at three clinical sites. The CLSI reference method as described in the CLSI document M27 "Method for Broth Dilution Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of Yeasts" was compared to the Sensititre YeastOne Susceptibility System. A total of 220 fresh clinical and 95 challenge isolates of Candida species were tested on the
{5}
Sensititre YeastOne using manual and inoculation methods. All clinical isolates demonstrated growth in the growth control well.
EA was calculated when the results for the reference method and the Sensititre YeastOne were within +/- two doubling dilutions of the antifungal drug. The following tables present the performance of the Sensititre YeastOne Susceptibility System when read at 24 hours using manual inoculation methods as compared to the reference method when read at 24 hours. The results demonstrate acceptable performance.
