Indications for Use

Used in qualitative procedures for growth and detection of Mycobacteria in clinical specimens other than blood.

Device Story

BacT/Alert 3D system performs automated microbial detection in clinical specimens (excluding blood). System utilizes specialized culture media bottles containing Middlebrook 7H9 broth, pancreatic digest of casein, bovine serum albumin, catalase, and purified water. Instrument monitors bottles for microbial growth via CO2 production. Detection logic evaluates acceleration of CO2 production, long-term growth, and total delta change in growth curves. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Output provides qualitative detection of Mycobacteria, assisting clinicians in diagnosing mycobacterial infections. System design includes spill-controlled bottle blocks and automated air circulation management.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical evaluation compared BacT/Alert 3D against MB/BacT Mycobacteria Culture System using 311 clinical isolates. Results showed 22 isolates positive on both systems, 14 positive only on BacT/Alert 3D, and 8 positive only on MB/BacT. Non-clinical bench testing included seeded studies with 10 organisms at high (10^6 CFU/ml) and low (10^2 CFU/ml) inoculum levels, showing no significant difference in time-to-detection between systems.

Technological Characteristics

Microbial growth monitor; utilizes culture media bottles (Middlebrook 7H9 broth, pancreatic digest of casein, bovine serum albumin, catalase, purified water). Detection principle: CO2 production monitoring via growth curve analysis. Features spill-controlled bottle blocks and automated air circulation. System is a laboratory instrument.

Indications for Use

Indicated for the qualitative growth and detection of Mycobacteria in clinical specimens other than blood.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A microbial growth monitor is a device intended for medical purposes that measures the concentration of bacteria suspended in a liquid medium by measuring changes in light scattering properties, optical density, electrical impedance, or by making direct bacterial counts. The device aids in the diagnosis of disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms.

Testing was performed to establish the performance characteristics of the new device including: Seeded studies were performed in-house for 10 organisms at inoculum levels of 106 (high) and 102 (low) CFU/ml. Individual strains of each organism at the low inoculum level were inoculated into six bottles each. Three bottles were loaded into the current MB/BacT system, and three were loaded into the BacT 3D instrument. Individual strains of each organism at the high inoculum level were inoculated into two bottles each. One bottle was loaded into the current MB/BacT system, and one bottle was loaded into the BacT 3D Times to detection (in days) for each bottle were used to perform analysis for substantial instrument. equivalence between the two systems. Analysis of the times to detection showed no significant effect of detection system for either the high or low inoculum level. #### A brief discussion of the clinical tests submitted, referenced, or relied on in the Premarket b)(2) notification submission for a determination of substantial equivalency. A total of 311 isolates were cultured from clinical specimens on both the BacT/Alert 3D and the MB/BacT Mycobacteria Culture System. 22 isolates were positive on both the BacT/Alert 3D and the MB/BacT. An additional 14 isolates were found to be positive on the Bac 7/Alert 3D only. 8 additional isolates were found to be positive on the MB/BacT only. #### (b)3) The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical and clinical tests that demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and performed as well or better than the legally marketed device identified in (a)(3). Organon Teknika's BacT/Alert 3D System with mycobacteria indication utilizes the same culture media bottles and detection algorithms as the currently marketed predicate device the MB/Bacteria Culture System. Both systems are equivalent in the following respects: - 1. They both have the same intended use: For use in qualitative procedures for growth and detection of mycobacteria in clinical specimens other than blood. - 2. They both utilize the same culture media bottles and detection methodology. - The BacT/Alert 3D vielded test results comparable to that seen with the predicate device the 3. MB/BacT Mycobacteria Culture System. {4}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/4/Picture/2 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
