The Sensititre ESBL confirmatory test plate is an in vitro diagnostic product for detection of ESBL’s in clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca and Escherichia coli. Test results can be read either manually or automatically on a Sensititre® ARIS or Autoreader.
Device Story
The ESBL Confirmatory Test Plate is an in vitro diagnostic tool used in clinical laboratories to identify ESBL-producing bacteria. The device utilizes specific antimicrobial concentrations—Ceftazidime and Cefotaxime, both alone and in combination with clavulanic acid—to detect resistance patterns in clinical isolates of K. pneumoniae, K. oxytoca, and E. coli. Testing follows NCCLS M7 reference standards. Results are obtained via manual visual inspection or automated reading using the Sensititre ARIS or Autoreader systems. The output assists clinicians in confirming the presence of ESBLs, which informs antibiotic therapy selection and infection control decisions.
Clinical Evidence
Performance evaluated across three sites using 513 clinical isolates of K. pneumoniae, K. oxytoca, and E. coli compared to NCCLS reference methods. Manual reading showed 97.3% sensitivity and 95.4% specificity. Automated reading showed 98.3% sensitivity and 96.4% specificity. An additional study of 30 molecularly characterized isolates demonstrated 100% agreement for both manual and automated methods.
Technological Characteristics
Microtiter plate format containing dehydrated antimicrobial agents (Ceftazidime, Cefotaxime, and clavulanic acid combinations). Operates via broth microdilution principle. Compatible with Sensititre ARIS or Autoreader for automated optical reading. Complies with NCCLS M7 standards.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the detection of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBLs) in clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, and Escherichia coli.
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.

Dear Ms. Knapp:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration. Iisting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820).
