The Staphylococcus QuickFISH BC is a multicolor, qualitative nucleic acid hybridization assay intended for the identification of Staphylococcus aureus and/or coagulasenegative staphylococci commonly isolated from human blood cultures, on smears prepared from positive blood cultures containing gram-positive cocci in clusters observed on Gram stain. Sub-culturing of positive blood cultures is necessary to recover organisms for susceptibility testing, and/or differentiation of mixed growth. Staphylococcus QuickFISH BC is indicated as an aid in the diagnosis of S. aureus bacteremia and/or coagulase-negative staphylococci commonly isolated from human blood cultures.
Device Story
Staphylococcus QuickFISH BC is a qualitative nucleic acid hybridization assay; utilizes fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) technology. Input: smears prepared from positive blood cultures containing gram-positive cocci in clusters. Process: multicolor hybridization to identify specific staphylococcal species. Output: visual identification of S. aureus and/or coagulase-negative staphylococci via fluorescence. Used in clinical laboratories by trained personnel. Results aid clinicians in diagnosing bacteremia; facilitates faster identification compared to traditional culture methods; enables earlier targeted therapy. Sub-culturing remains required for susceptibility testing and mixed growth differentiation.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided in the document; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Multicolor, qualitative nucleic acid hybridization assay (FISH). Utilizes fluorescent probes for identification of S. aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci. Form factor: kit-based reagents for smear preparation and hybridization. Standalone diagnostic test.
Indications for Use
Indicated for identification of S. aureus and/or coagulase-negative staphylococci in human blood cultures for patients with positive blood cultures showing gram-positive cocci in clusters.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Staphylococcus aureus serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify enterotoxin (toxin affecting the intestine) producing staphylococci from cultured isolates. The identification aids in the diagnosis of disease caused by this bacterium belonging to the genus Staphylococcus and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Certain strains of Staphylococcus aureus produce an enterotoxin while growing in meat, dairy, or bakery products. After ingestion, this enterotoxin is absorbed in the gut and causes destruction of the intestinal lining (gastroenteritis).
