The MicroScan Dried Gram-Negative 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-negative bacilli. After inoculation, panels are incubated for 16 - 20 hours at 35°C +/ - 1°C in a non-CO2 incubator, and read either visually or with MicroScan instrumentation, according to the Package Insert.
Device Story
MicroScan Dried Gram-Negative MIC/Combo Panels are miniaturized, dehydrated broth microdilution susceptibility tests. Device takes colonies grown on solid media as input; inoculates panels using turbidity or Prompt Inoculation System; incubates 16–20 hours at 35°C. Output is Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and categorical interpretation (SIR). Used in clinical microbiology labs; read visually or via MicroScan WalkAway or autoSCAN-4 instruments. Results assist clinicians in selecting appropriate antimicrobial therapy for gram-negative infections. Limitations exist for specific species (P. aeruginosa, Acinetobacter, Proteus, Providencia, Serratia) regarding major errors or discrepant MICs compared to reference methods; retesting via turbidity method recommended for critical cases.
Clinical Evidence
Performance evaluated using 419 clinical and 179 challenge isolates. Study compared MicroScan panels (Prompt and turbidity inoculation; manual, WalkAway, and autoSCAN-4 read methods) against CLSI frozen broth microdilution reference. Enterobacteriaceae EA/CA >89.9%. Acinetobacter and P. aeruginosa showed acceptable EA, though Prompt inoculation showed increased major errors for these species, leading to labeling limitations. MIC trending analysis showed Enterobacteriaceae and P. aeruginosa MICs trended one dilution higher than reference. Reproducibility >98% across all methods.

#### 510(k) Summary:
MicroScan Dried Gram-Negative MIC/Combo Panels 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-neqative bacilli.
The antimicrobial susceptibility tests are miniaturizations of the broth dilution susceptibility test that have been diluted in broth and dehydrated. Various antimicrobial agents are diluted in broth to concentrations bridging the range of clinical interest. Panels are rehydrated with water after inoculation with a standardized suspension of the organism. After incubation in a non-CO2 incubator for 16-20 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 Dried Gram-Negative MIC/Combo Panel demonstrated substantially equivalent performance when compared with an CLSI 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 August 28, 2009. The Premarket Notification (510[k]) presents data in support of the MicroScan Dried Gram-Negative MIC/Combo Panel with imipenem.
The external evaluations were conducted with fresh and stock Efficacy isolates and stock Challenge strains. The external evaluations were designed to confirm the acceptability of the proposed Dried Gram-Negative Panel by comparing its performance with a CLSI frozen Reference panel. The Dried Gram-Negative Panel demonstrated acceptable performance with an overall Essential Agreement of 95.5% for imipenem when compared with the frozen Reference panel.
Inoculum and instrument reproducibility testing demonstrated acceptable reproducibility and precision with imipenem, regardless of which inoculum method (i.e., Turbidity or Prompt™), or instrument (autoSCAN-4 instrument or WalkAway system) was used.
Quality Control testing demonstrated acceptable results for imipenem.
