Device Story
VITEK 2 AST-GN Ceftolozane/Tazobactam is an automated, miniaturized, growth-based antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) system. It uses 64-microwell cards containing premeasured antimicrobial concentrations (0.5/4 to 32/4 µg/mL). Input: pure culture organism suspension in saline, standardized to McFarland 0.5 via DensiCHEK Plus. Operation: system automatically fills, seals, and incubates cards; optical scanner measures light transmittance periodically over 4-18 hours to monitor growth. Output: MIC value and interpretive category (S, I, R). Used in clinical laboratories by technicians. Results assist clinicians in selecting appropriate antibiotic therapy for Gram-negative infections. Benefits include standardized, automated, and rapid susceptibility determination compared to manual broth microdilution.
Clinical Evidence
Performance evaluated using 1,064 clinical and challenge isolates (Enterobacteriaceae and P. aeruginosa). Overall performance (automatic dilution): 94.8% Essential Agreement (EA), 98.4% Category Agreement (CA). Minor discrepancy rate 1%, major error 0.4%, very major error 1.4%. Reproducibility was 100%. Trending analysis for P. aeruginosa showed a bias toward higher MIC values compared to CLSI reference method, addressed via labeling.
Technological Characteristics
Miniaturized broth microdilution card; contains antimicrobial agents in concentrations equivalent to standard mcg/ml methods. Automated incubation and optical growth monitoring system. Compatible with VITEK 2 and VITEK 2 Compact platforms. Software-driven analysis of growth kinetics.
Indications for Use
Indicated for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of isolated colonies of clinically significant aerobic Gram-negative bacilli, Staphylococcus spp., Enterococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., and yeast using VITEK 2 and VITEK 2 Compact systems.

VITEK® 2 Gram Negative Ceftolozane/Tazobactam is designed for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Gram negative bacilli and is intended for use with the VITEK® 2 and VITEK® 2 Compact Systems as a laboratory aid in the determination of in vitro susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. VITEK®2 Gram Negative Ceftolozane/Tazobactam is a quantitative test. Ceftolozane/Tazobactam has been shown to be active against most strains of the microorganisms listed below, according to the FDA label for this antimicrobial.
Active in vitro and in clinical infections Enterobacter cloacae
{5}------------------------------------------------
Escherichia coli Klebsiella oxytoca Klebsiella pneumoniae Proteus mirabilis Pseudomonas aeruginosa
In vitro data available but clinical significance is unknown Citrobacter freundii Citrobacter koseri Enterobacter aerogenes Enterobacter cloacae Proteus vulgaris Providencia stuartii Serratia liquefacians
The VITEK® 2 Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST) is intended to be used with the VITEK® 2 Systems for the automated quantitative or qualitative susceptibility testing of isolated colonies for the most clinically significant aerobic gram-negative bacilli, Staphylococcus spp., Enterococcus spp., Streptococcus spp. and clinically significant yeast
The antimicrobial presented in VITEK® 2 AST-GN Cards is in concentrations equivalent by efficacy to standard method concentrations in mcg/ml. The VITEK® 2 AST Cards are essentially miniaturized versions of the doubling dilution technique for determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) microdilution methodology.
The isolate to be tested is diluted to a standardized concentration in 0.45 - 0.50% saline before being used to rehydrate the antimicrobial medium within the card. The VITEK® 2 automatically fills, seals and places the card into the incubator/reader. The VITEK® 2 Compact has a manual filling and sealing operation. The VITEK® 2 monitors the growth of each well in the card over a defined period of time (up to 18 hours). At the completion of the incubation cycle, a report is generated that contains the MIC value along with the interpretive category result for each antimicrobial contained on the card.
VITEK® 2 AST-GN Ceftolozane/Tazobactam demonstrated substantially equivalent performance when compared with the CLSI broth microdilution reference method, as defined in the FDA Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST) Systems; Guidance for Industry and FDA (Issued August 28, 2009).
The Premarket Notification (510[k]) presents data in support of VITEK® 2 AST-GN Ceftolozane/Tazobactam. An external evaluation was conducted with fresh and stock clinical isolates, as well as a set of challenge strains. The external evaluations were designed to confirm the acceptability of VITEK® 2 AST-GN Ceftolozane/Tazobactam by comparing its performance with the CLSI broth microdilution reference method incubated at 16-20 hrs. The data is
{6}------------------------------------------------
representative of performance on both the VITEK® 2 and VITEK® 2 Compact instrument platforms. VITEK® 2 AST-GN Ceftolozane/Tazobactam demonstrated acceptable performance of 94.8% overall Essential Agreement and 98.4% overall Category Agreement with the reference method. Reproducibility and Quality Control demonstrated acceptable results.
