Device Story
System performs automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) on isolated bacterial colonies. Components: Sample Prep Station, Inoculator, Analyzer, workstation. Workflow: User prepares sample; system inoculates 384-well panels; analyzer monitors growth via fluorescence/absorbance. Principle: Growth-based detection using serial two-fold dilution; metabolic assays (viability/surface binding) quantify growth after sufficient replication threshold. Algorithm: Species-specific MIC determination; requires organism ID (manual or LIS download) for result reporting. Output: MIC values and categorical interpretations (S, I, R, NS). Used in clinical laboratories to guide antimicrobial therapy; benefits patient by providing rapid susceptibility results (<6 hours) to inform treatment decisions.
Clinical Evidence
Performance evaluated using 1401 clinical and 222 challenge isolates across 24 antimicrobials. Compared to modal MIC of triplicate broth microdilution reference method. Metrics: Essential Agreement (EA) and Categorical Agreement (CA) ≥90%, major error ≤3%, very major error ≤2%. Results varied by drug-organism combination; specific limitations and alternative testing requirements were established for combinations failing acceptance criteria. Trending analysis performed for all combinations.

# D Special Instrument Requirements:
Selux AST System, Software version 1, subversion 8.168
# IV Device/System Characteristics:
# A Device Description:
The Selux AST System is an antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) system that consists of a Sample Prep Station, an Inoculator, an Analyzer, a computer workstation, and the reagents and consumables required to perform AST testing. The system is operated via software that guides users through the manual sample preparation process and operates the automated Inoculator and Analyzer. The software includes an algorithm that enables the system to determine the susceptibility of an organism to the variety of antimicrobials provided in the Selux AST panels. The system is designed so that only Gram stain information is required to initiate testing to select the gram-negative or gram-positive antimicrobial panel. While complete system testing can be performed without species-level identification, this information is required for the system to report susceptibility results. Species identification information can be either manually input to the Selux system or automatically downloaded from the laboratory information system (LIS) at any time, once the sample ID is entered into the LIS.
The Selux AST Systems provides the following consumables: AST panels, panel lids, tubes and caps for sample prep, troughs for inoculator, McFarland Standards for densitometer performance checks, inoculator pipette tips, inoculator waste bins, inoculator growth media, inoculator cleaning solution, analyzer reagent packs, analyzer liquid waste disinfectant tablets, analyzer absorbent waste pads, and an analyzer solid waste bag.
The Selux AST System is divided into three primary AST steps performed at three different stations: workbench (for sample preparation), panel inoculator (for inoculation), and AST analyzer (for antimicrobial susceptibility testing), as described in detail in the Device Description section of K211759.
The Selux AST System with the Gram-Negative Panel can determine the MIC of various antimicrobials when tested against specific organisms Table 1.

### B Principle of Operation:
The Selux AST test requires that the Gram type of the organism be known prior to testing as the information is necessary to select the proper AST panel to use (i.e., gram-positive or gram-negative). The organism identification (ID) is not needed for Selux AST processing to be performed; however, the organism ID is necessary for a final result to be reported.
K211748 - Page 6 of 43

The Selux AST System performs antimicrobial susceptibility testing similar to the gold-standard broth microdilution method. To get an accurate reading of microbial growth, the sufficient growth assay monitors growth in dedicated AST panel wells that contain organisms and cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton Broth but no antimicrobials or probes. Sufficient growth assay wells are monitored by fluorescence to those wells which the standard metabolism-based viability assay pair resazurin/methylene blue have been added and/or by optical absorbance. Two probe-based assays commence across all wells in the panel after the threshold in the sufficient growth well has been met. The “viability assay” uses a fluorescent metabolic probe as an indicator of cellular activity and the “surface area assay” uses a fluorescent cationic probe that binds microorganism surfaces as a proxy for cellular surface area. The viability and surface area assays are performed in each AST panel well, providing two complementary datasets for each well. These data are input to an MIC-determining algorithm that provides results when organism IDs are available.

### A Analytical Performance:
1. Precision/Reproducibility:
K211748 - Page 8 of 43
{8}
Reproducibility testing for the Selux AST System with the Gram-Negative Panel was conducted at 3 testing sites (2 external and 1 internal site). Panel members generally consisted of species indicated for use with each respective antimicrobial. To accommodate the numerous antimicrobial/organism combinations being tested concurrently, up to three non-indicated species, within an indicated genus or family, were considered acceptable for testing. Reproducibility was determined from the total number (and percent) of results that fell within one dilution (+/- one doubling dilution) of the modal MIC result for quantitative assays divided by the total number of results. Reproducibility was evaluated between sites (inter-site) and within sites (intra-site). Both best-case (assumes that off-scale results are within one dilution of the mode) and worst-case (assumes that off-scale results are more than one dilution of the mode) performance was determined for each antimicrobial, as outlined in the AST Special Controls Guidance.
In the initial study, inter-site reproducibility was evaluated at three sites by testing at least 25 isolates with on-scale MIC values for each antimicrobial, for a minimum of 75 results per antimicrobial (25 isolates x 3 sites = 75 results/antimicrobial). In general, best-case inter-site reproducibility was acceptable ($\geq 95\%$) and a sufficient number of results obtained ($\geq 75$ results). However, antimicrobials with inter-site worst-case reproducibility of $< 89\%$ or an insufficient number of results generated (i.e., $< 75$) in the initial study were further evaluated in a supplemental study in which testing was performed with three instruments. Data from both studies are collated and summarized in **Table 2**. Performance is summarized for each antimicrobial tested with all organisms as well as indicated organisms only. Inter-site reproducibility was determined to be acceptable.

$^{a}$ In instances where the original study had lower than the required number, supplemental testing was conducted and data collated with original data.
Intra-site reproducibility was evaluated by testing a minimum of five isolates in triplicate on three days at one internal site for each antimicrobial to generate a minimum of 45 results per antimicrobial (5 isolates x 3 replicates x 3 days = 45 results/antimicrobial). In general, best-case intra-site reproducibility was acceptable (≥95%) and a sufficient number of results obtained (≥45 results). However, antimicrobials with worst-case reproducibility <89% or an insufficient number of results generated (i.e., <45) in the initial study were further evaluated in a supplemental study. Data from both studies are collated and summarized in Table 3. Performance is summarized for each antimicrobial tested with all organisms as well as indicated organisms only. Intra-site reproducibility was determined to be acceptable.

**Quality Control Testing.** The Selux AST System software contains QC Sets (A, B, C) such that when the Gram-Negative Panel is selected, the system will indicate the appropriate QC strains to be prepared for testing. CLSI-recommended QC strains and expected QC ranges for use with the Gram-Negative Panel are summarized in **Table 4**, which also includes the designation of the QC set as appropriate for each antimicrobial. Notably, QC Set A comprises gram-positive ATCC QC organisms which is acceptable to use for QC testing of the Gram-Negative Panel provided that QC is run concurrently with Set B and/or C, which comprise gram-negative ATCC QC organisms. This is necessary because the metabolic assay in the Selux AST System utilizes an additional biochemical reagent, an electron transfer agent, exclusively with gram-negative organisms. The following QC reporting scheme is included in the device labeling (and is supported by software information) to ensure that gram-negative organisms will be processed correctly by the Selux AST System:
- *Gram-Negative Panel QC failure when testing gram-positive QC organisms:* clinical results should not be reported for the antimicrobial(s) in which QC failed but may be reported for the antimicrobials for which QC passed.
- *Gram-Negative Panel QC failure when testing gram-negative QC organisms:*
- If all gram-negative organisms fail QC: all QC results (including those when testing gram-positive organisms) should be considered failed and clinical results should not be reported for any antimicrobial.
- If one (or fewer than all) gram-negative organisms fail QC: clinical results should not be reported for the antimicrobial(s) in which QC failed but may be reported for the antimicrobials for which QC passed (including those when testing gram-positive organisms).

$^{a}$ Set A comprises gram-positive ATCC QC organisms which is acceptable to use for QC testing of the Gram-Negative Comprehensive panel provided that QC is run concurrently with Set B and/or C, which comprise gram-negative ATCC QC organisms. This is necessary because the metabolic assay in the Selux AST System utilizes an additional biochemical reagent, an electron transfer agent, exclusively with gram-negative organisms. This ensures that gram-negative organisms will be processed correctly by the Selux AST System.
$^{b}$ Expected QC range for SXT in CLSI M100 is ≤0.5; Selux AST reporting range for SXT is ≤0.12 to ≥32 μg/mL. Selux MIC results of ≤0.5 μg/mL were considered acceptable.
Quality control testing was performed each day that testing was conducted. CLSI-recommended QC strains for each antimicrobial (described in Table 4) were tested a sufficient number of times (i.e., at least 20 times/site) at each testing site using the Selux AST System. QC testing of the broth microdilution reference method was performed at a single, central site. In some cases, the site used CLSI-recommended QC organisms that were different from QC organisms tested with the Selux AST System. This is noted in Table 5.
QC expected ranges and results for the Selux AST System with Gram-Negative panel are summarized in Table 5. For all antimicrobials, greater than 95% of results were within the expected range, which is acceptable.
Due to an administrative error, reference data for minocycline and tobramycin was not previously included in Table 5. This data is included in the updated table for both minocycline and tobramycin testing of E. coli ATCC 25922.

## **B Comparison Studies:**
### **1. Method Comparison with Predicate Device:**
Clinical performance testing on the Selux AST System was initially performed at three U.S. test sites (2 external, 1 internal). For instances in which testing was required to supplement existing data from the original study and support specific claims, testing was performed on three Selux AST System instruments at two testing sites.
Performance was evaluated using contemporary and stock frozen clinical isolates as well as challenge isolates, which were selected for their resistance profiles. Clinical isolates of non-fastidious bacteria were recovered from cultures of clinical specimens (e.g., blood, stool, urine, respiratory, wound, aspirates) from diverse geographic locations across the U.S.
Contemporary frozen isolates were defined as isolates that had been collected and frozen within six months of testing while stock frozen isolates were tested six or more months after collection.
A total of 1401 clinical (426 contemporary and 975 stock) and 222 challenge isolates from 12 Enterobacterales species, *Acinetobacter baumannii* complex, and *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* were tested to evaluate the Selux AST System performance for 24 antimicrobials using the Selux Gram-Negative panel. Depending on the spectrum of activity, breakpoints and the claimed organisms (species/group) for each antimicrobial on the panel, the number of datapoints for the various antimicrobial-organisms tested varied and ranged from 165 (e.g. *P. aeruginosa*/Imipenem-Relebactam) to 977 (e.g. Enterobacterales/Ertapenem). Selux results were compared to the modal value of triplicate broth microdilution reference results performed at an independent reference laboratory.
Performance was determined generally based on criteria outlined in the Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST) Systems including essential agreement (EA), categorical agreement (CA), and categorical errors (minor, major and very major errors). EA was calculated as the percentage of Selux MIC results that were within plus or minus one serial two-fold dilution of the reference result. CA was calculated as the percentage of Selux interpretive results (S/I/R) that were identical to the interpretive results of the reference result. EA of evaluable results (on-scale Selux and reference results or results in which an off-scale result was at least two doubling dilutions from the on-scale result) were also calculated. Performance was considered acceptable if the EA and CA were $\geq 90\%$, major error rate was $\leq 3\%$, and very major error rate was $\leq 2\%$.
A trending analysis using combined clinical and challenge isolate results was also conducted to evaluate antimicrobial-organism combinations for which Selux MIC results were determined to be one or more doubling dilutions lower or higher than the reference result. MIC results that were off-scale for both the reference and Selux were not considered in the trending analysis. Antimicrobial-organism combinations for which the difference between the percentage of isolates with higher or lower MIC values was $\geq 30\%$ with a statistically
K211748 - Page 14 of 43
{14}
significant confidence interval were considered to have evidence of trending and is addressed in the labeling.
A high-level summary of the Selux AST System performance using the Gram-Negative Panel is described below for each antimicrobial and indicated species. Complete details and results including EA, CA and error rate analyses are summarized in **Table 6** and trending analyses are summarized in **Table 7**.
**Amikacin.** A total of 111 *A. baumannii* isolates were evaluated with amikacin. The combined results from clinical and challenge isolate testing demonstrated an EA of 55.0% and CA of 86.5%, which is not acceptable. There were 6 minor, 8 major (8/80 = 10%) and 1 very major (1/25 = 4%) errors, which is not acceptable. Due to the unacceptable performance for *A. baumannii*, this drug/organism combination is not indicated for use with the Selux AST System. The following limitation is included in the device labeling to restrict reporting of *A. baumannii* due to unacceptable performance:
Perform an alternative method of testing prior to reporting results for the following antibiotic/organism combination(s):
- Amikacin: *Acinetobacter baumannii*
A total of 165 *P. aeruginosa* isolates were evaluated with amikacin. The combined results from clinical and challenge isolate testing demonstrated an EA of 90.9% and CA of 98.2%. There were 3 minor, 0 major and 0 very major errors. Overall, performance is acceptable.
Analysis of trending indicated that MIC values for *P. aeruginosa* tended to be one doubling dilution lower than the reference MIC value. The following statement is included in the device labeling as a footnote to the AST performance table:
Selux MIC values for the following antimicrobial/organism combinations tended to be one doubling dilution lower than the reference MIC value:
- Amikacin: *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*
**Amoxicillin-Clavulanate.** A total of 593 Enterobacterales isolates (indicated species: 179 *E. coli*, 48 *K. oxytoca*, 142 *K. pneumoniae*, 88 *P. mirabilis*; non-indicated species: 74 *C. koseri*, 62 *P. vulgaris*) were evaluated with amoxicillin-clavulanate. The combined results from clinical and challenge isolate testing demonstrated an EA of 93.3% and CA of 92.8%. There were 37 minor, 5 major and 1 very major errors. When evaluating results by individual species, *E. coli* had a CA of 88.7% due to 17 minor, 1 major and 0 very major errors which was determined to be acceptable since the majority of categorical errors were minor and the EA of evaluable results was good (96.5%). *P. mirabilis* had one very major error (1/8 = 16.7%), which was considered a random error due to the limited number of resistant isolates tested.
Analysis of trending indicated that MIC values for *K. pneumoniae* tended to be one doubling dilution lower than the reference MIC value. The following statement is included as a footnote to the AST performance table:
K211748 - Page 15 of 43

Selux MIC values for the following antimicrobial/organism combinations tended to be one doubling dilution lower than the reference MIC value:
- Amoxicillin-Clavulanate: Klebsiella pneumoniae
Ampicillin. A total of 254 Enterobacterales isolates (165 E. coli, 89 P. mirabilis) were evaluated with ampicillin. The combined results from clinical and challenge isolate testing demonstrated an EA of 94.9% and CA of 98.8%. There was 1 minor, 1 major and 1 very major error. When evaluating results by individual species, P. mirabilis had 1 major error (1/60 = 1.7%) and 1 very major error (1/26 = 3.8%) at a Selux MIC value of 2 μg/mL which represents 4.5% (4/89) of results with this drug/organism combination. The following limitation is included in the device labeling to address the very major error:
Perform an alternative method of testing prior to reporting results for the following antibiotic/organism combination(s):
- Ampicillin: Proteus mirabilis when the Selux MIC is 2 μg/mL due to one very major error
Analysis of trending indicated that MIC values for E. coli tended to be one doubling dilution lower than the reference MIC value. The following statement is included as a footnote to the AST performance table:
Selux MIC values for the following antimicrobial/organism combinations tended to be one doubling dilution lower than the reference MIC value:

A total of 784 Enterobacterales isolates (63 C. freundii, 54 C. koseri, 75 E. cloacae, 171 E. coli, 32 K. aerogenes, 27 K. oxytoca, 110 K. pneumoniae, 62 M. morganii, 67 P. mirabilis, 55 P. vulgaris, 68 S. marcescens) were evaluated with levofloxacin. The combined results from clinical and challenge isolate testing demonstrated an EA of 96.1% and CA of 94.9%. There were 33 minor, 6 major and 1 very major errors. When evaluating results by individual species, K. aerogenes had 1 major error (1/30 = 3.3%) at a Selux MIC value of 2 μg/mL, which represents 3.1% (1/32) of results from this drug/organism combination. C. freundii had 2 major errors (2/55 = 3.6%) at a Selux MIC value of 2 μg/mL which represent 4.8% (3/63) of results from this drug/organism combination, as well as 1 very major error (1/7 = 14.3%), which was considered a random error due to the limited number of resistant isolates tested. The following limitation is included in the device labeling to address the major errors:
Perform an alternative method of testing prior to reporting results for the following antibiotic/organism combination(s):
- Levofloxacin: Citrobacter freundii when the Selux MIC is 2 μg/mL due to two major errors, Klebsiella aerogenes when the Selux MIC is 2 μg/mL due to one major error
A total of 171 P. aeruginosa isolates were evaluated with levofloxacin. The combined results from clinical and challenge isolate testing demonstrated an EA of 94.2% and CA of 90.1%. There were 14 minor, 1 major and 2 very major errors (2/42 = 4.8%), which is not acceptable. Due to the unacceptable performance for P. aeruginosa, this drug/organism combination is not indicated for use with the Selux AST System. The following limitation is included in the device labeling to restrict reporting of P. aeruginosa due to unacceptable performance:
Perform an alternative method of testing prior to reporting results for the following antibiotic/organism combination(s):
- Levofloxacin: Pseudomonas aeruginosa
A limitation statement is included in the device labeling to address the lack of testing with resistant C. koseri isolates.
Analysis of trending indicated that MIC values for C. freundii, C. koseri, E. cloacae, E. coli, K. aerogenes, K. oxytoca, K. pneumoniae, M. morganii, P. mirabilis, and P. vulgaris tended to be one doubling dilution higher than the reference MIC value. The following statement is included as a footnote to the AST performance table:
Selux MIC values for the following antimicrobial/organism combinations tended to be one doubling dilution higher than the reference MIC value:
- Levofloxacin: C. freundii, C. koseri, E. cloacae, E. coli, K. aerogenes, K. oxytoca, K. pneumoniae, M. morganii, P. mirabilis, P. vulgaris
Meropenem. A total of 126 A. baumannii isolates were evaluated with meropenem. The combined results from clinical and challenge isolate testing demonstrated an EA of 86.5%
