The BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System is intended for the rapid identification and in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing of isolates from pure culture of most aerobic and facultative anaerobic Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria of human origin.
Device Story
System performs automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) for Streptococcus species; utilizes sealed, self-inoculating polystyrene trays with 136 micro-wells containing dried reagents. Input: pure culture bacterial isolates suspended in AST-S broth (cation-adjusted, non-blood, with redox indicator). Process: instrument incubates panels at 35°C; monitors colorimetric oxidation-reduction of indicator via optical scanning every 20 minutes; growth in presence of antibiotic prevents indicator reduction (no color change), while growth without antibiotic reduces indicator (blue to colorless). Output: MIC values and categorical interpretations (SIR). Software-driven 'EXPERT' system applies CLSI-derived rules to interpret results. Used in clinical microbiology laboratories; operated by trained technicians. Benefits: rapid, automated determination of antibiotic susceptibility to guide clinical treatment decisions.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated across four sites using 1,558 clinical and challenge isolates of Streptococcus spp. Primary endpoints: Essential Agreement (EA) and Category Agreement (CA) compared to CLSI broth dilution reference method. Combined results: 97% EA, 99.4% CA. Very major discrepancy (vmj) rate was 0%. Reproducibility study (24 isolates) demonstrated >95% reproducibility. QC testing performed using S. pneumoniae ATCC 49619, showing results within expected CLSI ranges.
Technological Characteristics
Automated microbiology system; molded polystyrene panels (136 wells); redox indicator for growth detection; continuous incubation at 35°C; optical reading every 20 minutes. Software-based interpretation of MIC and susceptibility categories. Standalone instrument.
Indications for Use
Indicated for testing Streptococcus pneumoniae (excluding penicillin-resistant strains) and Viridans group streptococci using meropenem at concentrations of 0.0313 - 2 µg/mL. For prescription use only.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A fully automated short-term incubation cycle antimicrobial susceptibility system is a device that incorporates concentrations of antimicrobial agents into a system for the purpose of determining in vitro susceptibility of bacterial pathogens isolated from clinical specimens. Test results obtained from short-term (less than 16 hours) incubation are used to determine the antimicrobial agent of choice to treat bacterial diseases.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is FDA's guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST) Systems; Guidance for Industry and FDA.”

#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
The BD Phoenix Automated Microbiology System (Phoenix System) is an automated system for the rapid identification (ID) and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of clinically relevant bacterial isolates. For testing Streptococcus species the system includes the following components:
- BD Phoenix instrument and software. .
- BD Phoenix panels containing biochemicals for organism ID testing and antimicrobial agents . or AST determinations.
- BD Phoenix ID Broth used for performing ID tests and preparing AST Broth inoculum. .
- BD Phoenix AST-S Broth used for performing AST tests only. .
- BD Phoenix AST-S Indicator solution added to the AST Broth to aid in bacterial growth . determination.
{1}------------------------------------------------
The Phoenix panel is a sealed and self-inoculating molded polystyrene tray with 136 micro-wells containing dried reagents. Organisms for susceptibility testing must be a pure culture and containing driver organisme or Gram-negative or Gram-positive isolate. For each isolate, an inoculation equivalent to a 0.5 McFarland standard is prepared in Phoenix ID broth.
The Phoenix AST method is a broth based microdilution test. The Phoenix System utilizes a redox indicator for the detection of organism growth in the presence of an antimicrobial agent. Indicator for the deterative of the indicator as well as bacterial turbidity are used in the determination of bacterial growth. Each AST panel configuration contains several antimicrobial agents with a wide range of two-fold doubling dilution concentrations.
The instrument houses the panels where they are continuously incubated at a nominal temperature of 35℃. The instrument takes readings of the panels every 20 minutes. The readings are interpreted to give an identification of the isolate, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values and category interpretations, S, I, R or N (susceptible, intermediate, resistant or not susceptible).
## DEVICE COMPARISON:
The BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System demonstrated substantially equivalent performance when compared with the CLSI reference broth microdilution method. This premarket notification provides data supporting the use of the BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System Streptococcus ID/AST or AST only Phoenix panels with this antimicrobial agent.
# SUMMARY OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE TESTING:
The BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System has demonstrated substantially equivalent performance when compared to the CLSI reference broth microdilution method (AST panels prepared according to NCCLS M7). The system has been evaluated as defined in the FDA Draft guidance document, "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST) Systems; Guidance for Industry and FDA," February 5, 2003.
### Site Reproducibility
Intra- and inter-site reproducibility of this antimicrobial agent in the BD Phoenix System was evaluated at three sites using a panel of streptoccal isolates. Each site tested the isolates in triplicate on three different days using one lot of Streptococcus Phoenix panels containing this antimicrobial agent and associated reagents.
The results of the study demonstrate for the this antimicrobial agent there was an overall intra-site reproducibility of greater than 90% and an overall inter-site reproducibility greater than 95% for the streptococcal isolates tested.

### Clinical Studies
Clinical, stock and challenge isolates were tested across multiple geographically diverse sites across Clinical, stock and chances were mance of the Phoenix antimicrobial susceptibility test with the Streptococcus Phoenix Panel format containing this antimicrobial agent. Phoenix System results the or eprococcas i noums i and romand to the expected results. Phoenix System results for clinical isolates were compared to the results obtained from the CLSI reference broth microdilution method.
The performance of the Phoenix System was assessed by calculating Essential Agreement (EA) and The portomation of the I novement of the more results for all isolates tested. Essential Agreement Category HEFORMER (OT) To enform Automated Microbiology System agrees exactly or within ± (DA) occurs within to the reference result. Category Agreement (CA) occurs when the BD ono two 1016 unanced Microbiology System agrees with the reference method with respect to the I hoomize - racentated retire (susceptible, intermediate, resistant or nonsusceptible).
Table 1 summarizes the performance for the isolates tested in this study.
