Device Class
Class 2
Intended Use
The Sensititre MIC and Breakpoint Susceptibility system is an in vitro diagnostic product for clinical susceptibility testing of non-fastidious Gram negative isolates, comprising of Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and other non-Enterobacteriaceae and of non-fastidious Gram positive isolates, comprising of Staphylococcus spp., Enterococcus spp., and Beta haemolytic Streptococci other than S. pneumoniae.
Device Story
Sensititre MIC Susceptibility plates are multi-well micro-titer plates containing dried, stabilized antimicrobials; used for quantitative/qualitative antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). Plates are inoculated with bacterial samples using the Sensititre AIM autoinoculator, sealed, and incubated at 34-36°C for 18-24 hours. Bacterial growth is detected via fluorescence technology (OptiRead/Autoreader) or visual inspection (Vizion). Fluorescence is generated when bacterial surface enzymes cleave a non-fluorescent substrate. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) is determined by the lowest dilution of antimicrobial inhibiting growth. Results are used by clinicians to guide antibiotic therapy for non-fastidious Gram-negative and Gram-positive infections. The system provides MIC values and interpretive criteria (S, R) to inform clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on bench testing of the antimicrobial susceptibility test system performance.
Technological Characteristics
Multi-well plastic micro-titer plates; dried, stabilized antimicrobial agents. Sensing principle: fluorogenic substrate cleavage by bacterial surface enzymes. Energy source: electrical (for readers/incubators). Connectivity: standalone or networked (OptiRead/Vizion). Software: automated reading/interpretation. Sterilization: not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for clinical susceptibility testing of non-fastidious Gram-negative organisms (Enterobacter cloacae, E. coli, K. oxytoca, K. pneumoniae, P. mirabilis, C. freundii, C. koseri, E. aerogenes, Proteus spp., P. aeruginosa) using Ceftazidime/Avibactam in the dilution range of 0.015/4-32/4 µg/mL.
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.
