Intended Use

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 enterococci and staphylococci. After inoculation, panels are incubated for 4.5 - 18 hours at 35°C +/- 1°C, in a WalkAway® SI, 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 Gentamicin Synergy Screen, at a concentration of 500 µg/ml, for enterococci, to the test panel.

Device Story

MicroScan® Synergies plus™ Gram-Positive MIC/Combo Panels are miniaturized broth dilution susceptibility tests; dehydrated antimicrobial agents in wells. Clinical laboratory workflow: inoculation of panel with standardized organism suspension; rehydration with Synergies plus™ Pos Broth; incubation in WalkAway® SI system (or equivalent) for 4.5-18 hours. Device measures minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) by identifying lowest antimicrobial concentration inhibiting growth. Output used by clinicians to guide antimicrobial therapy for gram-positive infections. Benefits include rapid, standardized susceptibility testing for enterococci and staphylococci.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance validated by comparing proposed panel against frozen reference panels using fresh/stock efficacy isolates and challenge strains. Overall categorical agreement for Gentamicin Synergy Screen was 97.0%. Reproducibility and precision confirmed using turbidity inoculum method and WalkAway® SI system.

Technological Characteristics

Miniaturized broth dilution panels; dehydrated antimicrobial agents in water/buffer/broth. Incubation at 35°C +/- 1°C. Compatible with WalkAway® SI automated system or visual reading. Utilizes rapid fluorogenic identification and dried overnight AST technologies.

Indications for Use

Indicated for determining antimicrobial susceptibility of rapidly growing aerobic and facultative anaerobic gram-positive enterococci and staphylococci. Specifically for Gentamicin Synergy Screen (500 µg/ml) in Enterococcus species.

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 Tcsting (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 Pancl, 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 Gentamicin Synergy Screen.

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 Expected Results determined prior to the evaluation. The Synergies plus" Gram-Positive Panel demonstrated acceptable performance with an overall Categorical

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

Agreement of 97.0% for Gentamicin Synergy Screen when compared with the frozen Reference panel.

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

Quality Control testing demonstrated acceptable results for Gentamicin Synergy Screen.

Dear Mr. Eusebio:

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.
