Intended Use

The testing of chloramphenicol is for use with MicroScan® Synergies plus™ Panels read on the WalkAway® -SI System (including upgraded WalkAway® - 40 or WalkAway® -96 to meet WalkAway® SI equivalence). MicroScan® panels are designed for use in determining identification to the species level of colonies, grown on solid media, of rapidly growing aerobic and facultative anaerobic gram-positive cocci and Listeria; the panels also provide quantitative and/or qualitative antimicrobial agent susceptibility for enterococci and staphylococci.

Device Story

MicroScan® Synergies plus™ Gram-Positive MIC/Combo Panels are used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of gram-positive bacteria. Panels contain dehydrated antibiotics; rehydrated with bacterial inoculum prepared via turbidity method. Panels incubated in WalkAway®-SI system; optical system monitors growth periodically from 4.5 to 18 hours. System uses colorimetric optics (lamp/photosensor) to detect growth; determines MIC based on growth inhibition. Results provided to clinicians to guide antibiotic therapy. Benefits include rapid AST results compared to traditional overnight methods, facilitating timely clinical decision-making for bacterial infections.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance validated by comparing the subject panel against a frozen Reference Panel using fresh/stock efficacy isolates and challenge strains. Results demonstrated 96.1% overall categorical agreement for chloramphenicol. Reproducibility and precision were confirmed using the Turbidity inoculum method and WalkAway® SI system. Quality control testing met acceptable performance criteria.

Technological Characteristics

Miniaturized broth dilution panels; dehydrated antimicrobial agents in water/buffer/broth. Sensing via MicroScan® Rapid Fluorogenic Identification and AST technologies. Incubation in WalkAway® SI system (4.5-18 hours at 35°C). Connectivity via automated instrument reading or visual inspection. No specific material standards or software architecture details provided.

Indications for Use

Indicated for determining antimicrobial susceptibility of rapidly growing aerobic and facultative anaerobic gram-positive enterococci and staphylococci (specifically Staphylococcus aureus) isolated from solid media. For prescription use in clinical laboratory settings.

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.”

### 510(k) Summary:

MicroScan® Synergies plus™ Gram-Positive MIC/Combo Panels, utilizing both the MicroScan® Rapid Fluorogenic Identification and Dried Overnight Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) technologies, are designed for use in determining quantitative and/or qualitative antimicrobial agent susceptibility of colonies grown on solid media of rapidly growing aerobic and facultative anaerobic gram-positive enterococci and staphylococci.

The antimicrobial susceptibility tests are miniaturizations of the broth dilution susceptibility test that have been diluted in water and dehydrated. Various antimicrobial agents are diluted in water, buffer, or minute concentrations of broth, to concentrations bridging the range of clinical interest. Panels are rehydrated with Synergies plus™ Pos Broth, after inoculation with a standardized suspension of the organism. After incubation in the WalkAway® SI, or equivalent, System, for 4.5 -18 hours, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for the test organism is read by determining the lowest antimicrobial concentration showing inhibition of growth.

The proposed MicroScan® Synergies plus™ Gram-Positive MIC/Combo Panel demonstrated substantially equivalent performance when compared with a frozen Reference Panel, as defined in the FDA document "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST) Systems; Guidance for Industry and FDA'', dated February 5, 2003. The Premarket Notification (510[k]) presents data in support of the MicroScan® Synergies plus™ Gram-Positive MIC/Combo Panel with chloramphenicol.

The external validation was conducted with fresh and stock Efficacy isolates and stock Challenge strains. The external validations were designed to confirm the acceptability of the proposed Synergies plus™ Gram-Positive Panel by comparing its performance with a frozen Reference panel. Challenge strains were compared to

{1}------------------------------------------------

Expected Results determined prior to the evaluation. The Synergies plus™ Gram-Positive Panel demonstrated acceptable performance with an overall Categorical Agreement of 96.1% for chloramphenicol when compared with the frozen Reference panel.

Instrument reproducibility testing demonstrated acceptable reproducibility and precision for chloramphenicol with Turbidity inoculum preparation method and the WalkAway® SI System or equivalent.

Quality Control testing demonstrated acceptable results for chloramphenicol.
