Device Class
Class 2
Intended Use
The Sensititre® MIC Susceptibility system is an in vitro diagnostic product for clinical susceptibility testing of gram negative and gram positive organisms.
Device Story
Sensititre® MIC Susceptibility system uses multi-well plastic microtitre plates containing dried, stabilized antimicrobics; performs micro-broth dilution susceptibility testing. Inoculum prepared from colonies via direct method (0.5 McFarland). Device detects bacterial growth via fluorescence generated from non-fluorescent substrate added to inoculum broth; fluorescence intensity correlates with bacterial activity. MIC determined by lowest antimicrobial dilution inhibiting growth. Readings performed manually or via automated Sensititre® AutoReader/ARIS® instruments. Used in clinical laboratories to determine antimicrobial susceptibility profiles; results guide clinicians in selecting appropriate antibiotic therapy for bacterial infections.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. The submission relies on in vitro minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) data to demonstrate performance. No clinical trial data regarding patient outcomes or treatment efficacy was provided; the device is intended for in vitro diagnostic use to determine susceptibility profiles.
Technological Characteristics
Multi-well plastic microtitre plates with dried, stabilized antimicrobics. Fluorescence-based growth detection using enzyme-substrate reaction. Automated reading via Sensititre® AutoReader or ARIS®. Connectivity: Networked/Automated instrumentation. Standards: CLSI M7 (M100-S16).
Indications for Use
Indicated for clinical susceptibility testing of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms using the Sensititre 18-24 hour MIC or Breakpoint Susceptibility System. Specifically for testing Gemifloxacin against Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-susceptible), Streptococcus pyogenes, Acinetobacter lwoffi, Klebsiella oxytoca, and Proteus vulgaris.
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, listing 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).

The Sensititre 18 - 24 hour MIC or Breakpoint Susceptibility System is an in vitro diagnostic product
for clinical susceptibility testing of gram positive and gram neqative orqanisms.
This 510(k) is for the addition of Gemifloxacin in the dilution range of 0.002 - 16 ug/ml for testing gram positive and 0.002 - 4 ug/ml for testing gram negative isolates to the Sensititre 18 - 24 hour MIC panel. The approved primary "Indications for Use" and clinical significance of Gemifloxacin is for:
Klebsiella pneumonia.
Gemifloxacin exhibits in vitro minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of (0.25ug/mL) or less against most (≥90%) of the following microorganisms: however, the safety and effectiveness of gemifloxacin in treating clinical infections due to these microorganisms has not been established in adequate and wellcontrolled clinical trials.
Staphylococcus aureus (Methicillin-susceptible strains only) Streptococcus pyogenes Acinetobacter Iwoffi Klebsiella oxytoca Proteus vulgaris.
