PASCO MIC AND MIC/ID PANELS are used for quantitatively measuring the susceptibility of rapidly growing aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacterial pathogens to a battery of antimicrobial agents and determining the biochemical identification of those organisms. This 510(k) notification is for the addition of the antimicrobial Telithromycin at concentrations of 0.015 - 4 mcg/ml to Pasco Panels. Telithromycin has been shown to be active in vitro against most isolates of the following microorganisms; as described in the FDA-approved package insert for this antimicrobic. Active In Vitro and in Clinical Infectious Against: Aerobic Gram-positive microorganisms Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin and erythromycin susceptible isolates only)

Pasco MIC and MIC/ID panels are used for quantitatively measuring the susceptibility of rapidly growing aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacterial pathogens to a battery of antimicrobial agents and determining the biochemical identification of those organisms. Varying concentrations of antimicrobial agents (usually in two-fold dilutions) are dispensed into the Pasco microdilution panels and the panels are then frozen. Panels are thawed prior to inoculation with the test organisms, incubated the traditional 16-24 hours and panels are then observed for visible growth or color changes as described in the package insert. The lowest concentration of each antimicrobial agent with no apparent visible growth of the test organism is recorded as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Changes in and production of specific metabolites from growth in biochemical substrates are interpreted as described in the package insert for conventional tubed media.
