The VITEK® 2 Gram-negative Susceptibility Card is intended for use with the VITEK® 2 Systems in clinical laboratories as an in vitro test to determine the susceptibility of clinically significant aerobic Gram-negative bacilli to antimicrobial agents when used as instructed.
Device Story
VITEK 2 AST-GN Minocycline is an automated, miniaturized, quantitative antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) for Gram-negative bacilli. It uses a 64-well test card containing premeasured minocycline concentrations (1, 4, 8, 16 µg/mL) and nutrient media. The system processes a standardized saline suspension of the patient isolate (auto-diluted by VITEK 2 or manually for VITEK 2 Compact). The device fills, seals, and incubates the card, monitoring bacterial growth via optical scanner (light attenuation) every 15 minutes for up to 24 hours. The system's software calculates the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and assigns interpretive categories (S, I, R). Used in clinical laboratories by technicians/microbiologists, the output provides clinicians with susceptibility data to guide antibiotic therapy for infections caused by indicated organisms.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated using 367 clinical and 106 challenge isolates (473 total). Compared to CLSI broth microdilution reference method. Overall performance: 97.0% Essential Agreement (EA) and 93.7% Category Agreement (CA). Major error rate 0.3% (1/361), very major error rate 0.9% (1/112). Reproducibility was 100% for VITEK 2 (auto-dilution) and 99.63% (manual). Trending analysis identified specific MIC shifts for E. coli, S. marcescens, K. oxytoca, and C. freundii, which are addressed in device labeling.
Technological Characteristics
Miniaturized broth microdilution card; automated incubation and optical growth monitoring. Dimensions/form factor: VITEK 2 AST card. Connectivity: Integrated with VITEK 2 and VITEK 2 Compact systems. Software-based automated analysis of growth kinetics to determine MIC.
Indications for Use
Indicated for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of clinically significant aerobic Gram-negative bacilli, including Acinetobacter spp., Klebsiella (Enterobacter) aerogenes, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella spp.

VITEK® 2 AST-Gram Negative Minocycline 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 AST-Gram Negative Minocycline is a quantitative test. Minocycline 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: Acinetobacter spp.
{2}------------------------------------------------
Klebsiella (Enterobacter) aerogenes Escherichia coli Klebsiella spp.
The VITEK® 2 Gram-negative Susceptibility Card is intended for use with the VITEK® 2 Systems in clinical laboratories as an in vitro test to determine the susceptibility of clinically significant aerobic Gram-negative bacilli to antimicrobial agents when used as instructed.
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 Minocycline 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 Minocycline. 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 Minocycline by comparing its performance with the CLSI broth microdilution reference method incubated at 16-20 hours (20-24 hours for Acinetobacter species). The data is representative of performance on both the VITEK® 2 and VITEK® 2 Compact instrument platforms. VITEK® 2 AST-GN Minocycline demonstrated acceptable performance of 97.0% overall Essential Agreement and 93.7% overall Category Agreement with the reference method. Reproducibility and Quality Control demonstrated acceptable results.
