The MicroScan® Synergies plus™ Gram-Positive MIC/Combo Panel is used to determine quantitative and/or qualitative antimicrobial agent susceptibility of colonies grown on solid media of rapidly growing aerobic and facultative anaerobic gram-positive staphylococci and enterococci. After inoculation, panels are incubated for 4.5 - 18 hours at 35℃ +/- 1℃, in a WalkAway® SZ, or equivalent, and read by the MicroScan® Instrumentation. Additionally, the panels may be incubated in a non-CO2 incubator and the Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) portions can be read visually, according to the Package Insert. This particular submission is for the addition of the antimicrobial Levofloxacin, at concentrations of 0.03 to 16 ug/ml, to the test panel.
Device Story
MicroScan® Synergies plus™ panels are diagnostic tools for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). Panels contain dehydrated antibiotics and control wells; rehydrated with bacterial suspension (turbidity method). System uses WalkAway®-SI instrument with colorimetric optics (lamp/photosensor) to monitor bacterial growth. Device measures growth kinetics to determine Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) at 4.5–16 hours or via overnight incubation (16–20 hours). Output is quantitative MIC and qualitative susceptibility interpretation. Used in clinical microbiology laboratories by technicians. Results assist clinicians in selecting appropriate antibiotic therapy for gram-positive infections.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated using fresh clinical isolates and stock challenge strains compared to a frozen reference panel. Essential Agreement for Levofloxacin was >98%. Reproducibility and precision were confirmed using the WalkAway® system and turbidity inoculum preparation. Quality control testing met acceptable standards.
Technological Characteristics
Miniaturized broth dilution susceptibility test; dehydrated antimicrobial agents in microtiter wells. Rehydrated with Pos Broth. Incubation 4.5-18 hours at 35°C. Compatible with WalkAway® instrumentation or visual reading. Connectivity via automated instrument interface.
Indications for Use
Indicated for testing levofloxacin (0.03–16 µg/mL) against Enterococcus and Staphylococcus species in gram-positive test panels. Requires 4.5–16 hours or 16–20 hours incubation. For prescription use only; turbidity method of inoculum preparation required.
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.”
