Intended Use

The Colibrí is an automated in vitro diagnostic specimen preparation system for use with WASPLab to prepare MALDI-TOF targets for the bioMérieux VITEK MS or Bruker MALDI Biotyper CA mass spectrometry systems for qualitative identification and microbial suspension for the bioMérieux VITEK 2 Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) system for qualitative testing of isolated colonies of gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial species grown on solid culture media. The Colibrí is an automated pre-analytical processor that picks isolated colonies designated by the operator and uses a pipetting system to prepare MALDI-TOF MS (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry) target slides for bacterial identification and microbial suspension at known concentration for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing and purity assessment. The Colibrí software records the identity of each sample and its position on the target slide and communicates this information electronically to the MALDI-TOF MS analyzers. Bacterial suspensions for AST and purity plates are identified by barcode label. The Colibrí is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals in clinical laboratories in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings, including Gram staining, to aid in the diagnosis of bacterial infections. The Colibrí has not been validated for use in the identification or processing of yeast species, molds, Nocardia, or mycobacteria.

Device Story

Colibrí is an automated pre-analytical processor used with WASPLab for clinical microbiology. It processes isolated bacterial colonies from solid culture media. Input: digital images of culture plates acquired by WASPLab. Operation: operator selects colonies via WASPLab WebApp; system uses robotic pipetting to pick colonies, spot them on MALDI-TOF target slides (with matrix) or create microbial suspensions for AST (VITEK 2). Output: prepared target slides for MS identification and secondary tubes for AST. Used in clinical labs by trained professionals. Benefits: automates manual colony picking/suspension, improves traceability, and integrates with downstream analyzers to aid bacterial infection diagnosis.

The Colibrí is an instrument which automates the picking of selected colonies from plated media and prepares MALDI target slides for the bioMérieux VITEK MS or the Bruker MALDI Biotyper CA System that are used in clinical laboratories for identification and differentiation of organisms grown on plated media by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Tonization Time-of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The Colibrí automates the preparation of microbial suspensions at known concentration for bioMérieux VITEK 2 System that is used in clinical laboratories for AST analyses. Moreover, the Colibrí is used for Purity Plates preparation for purity assessments. The Colibrí includes the following components: - . Colibrí instrument and software with on-board pipetting system and nephelometer - Colibrí Primary Tubes ● - . Colibrí Spreader - Colibrí Daily Verification kit. ● Colibri is designed to be used in conjunction with the WASPLab device for culture plate incubation and image analysis. After appropriate plate incubation, the operator selects the colonies from a digital image of culture media plate streaked with microbiological human specimen, available through WebApp software, the WASPLab User Interface. The operator assigns the automatic ID or AST tasks to the isolated colonies to be processed. Then, the operator loads the plates in the Colibri where colonies are automatically picked, spotted on the target slide and overlayed with the matrix or suspended into the dedicated solution for the preparation of the microbial suspension for AST purposes (Secondary Tube). When used in conjunction with the bioMérieux VITEK MS, the Colibrí can prepare the 48-spot target slides by performing the direct spotting of colonies. The calibrator used for quality control {5}------------------------------------------------ is manually applied by the operator at the end of the automated colony spotting. When used in conjunction with the Bruker MALDI Biotyper CA System, the Colibri can prepare either reusable 48-spot or disposable 96-spot targets by performing the Direct Transfer Sample Procedure. The BTS used for quality control is manually applied by the operator at the end of the automated colony spotting. When used in conjunction with the bioMérieux VITEK 2, the Colibrí can prepare the microbial suspension at the proper concentration by direct colony suspension method. The onboard nephelometer allows the preparation of Secondary Tubes (AST suspensions) at the correct concentration and the Colibrí Spreader is used for Purity Plates preparation. The Colibrí software records the identity of each sample and its position on the target slide and communicates this information electronically to the MALDI-TOF MS analyzers. The traceability of prepared Secondary Tube and Purity Plates is maintained by dedicated labels applications. Colibrí requires four different calibrations, one on the nephelometer, three on the cameras. None of these calibration activities require user intervention if not in terms of periodical cleaning of the mechanical component as described in the dedicated section of the User Manual. The Set-up calibration of nephelometer and camera units are performed during the device initial setup. Autocalibration is performed at the end of the initial set-up and periodically during the preventive maintenance to check that all the mechanical references can be found inside the positioning tolerances, that the I/Os are responsive. Run-time calibration is performed during the normal usage to automatically check the proper functioning of the Colibrí. Colibrí requires a daily nephelometer verification to check the proper reading of suspensions at different turbidity values. #### V. Intended Use / Indications For Use The Colibri is an automated in vitro diagnostic specimen preparation system for use with WASPLab to prepare MALDI-TOF targets for the bioMérieux VITEK MS or Bruker MALDI Biotyper CA mass spectrometry systems for qualitative identification and microbial suspension for the bioMérieux VITEK 2 Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) system for qualitative testing of isolated colonies of gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial species grown on solid culture media. The Colibrí is an automated pre-analytical processor that picks isolated colonies designated by the operator and uses a pipetting system to prepare MALDI-TOF MS (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/lonization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry) target slides for bacterial identification and microbial suspension at known concentration for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing and purity assessment. {6}------------------------------------------------ The Colibrí software records the identity of each sample and its position on the target slide and communicates this information electronically to the MALDI-TOF MS analyzers. Bacterial suspensions for AST and purity plates are identified by barcode label. The Colibrí is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals in clinical laboratories in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings, including Gram staining, to aid in the diagnosis of bacterial infections. The Colibrí has not been validated for use in the identification or processing of yeast species, molds, Nocardia, or mycobacteria. #### VI. Comparison to Predicate According to its intended use, Colibrí supports the performance of the connected IVD Analyzers by facilitating sample preparation for Gram-Negative and Gram-Positive bacteria ID or AST according to their intended use. The conjunction of Colibrí device with WASPLab device does not change, expand or limit the intended use of the Predicate Device and does not affect the safety and effectiveness of the predicate. Both the Colibrí in conjunction with WASPLab device and the Predicate Device are intended for the preparation of target ID and AST microbial suspensions of colonies grown on culture media plates streaked with human specimens indicated as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment definition for the bacterial infections. | Similarities | | | |-------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Item | New Device | Predicate Device | | Device Name (K number) | Colibrí | Colibrí System (K220546) | | Device Classification | Class II (special controls) | Class II (special controls) | | Regulation Number | 21 CFR 866.3378 and 21 CFR 866.1645 | 21 CFR 866.3378 and 21 CFR 866.1645 | | Product Code | QQV, Automated System For Sample Preparation And Identification Of Microorganisms From Cultured Isolates By Mass Spectrometry QBN, Mass Spectrometry, Maldi Tof, Microorganism Identification, Cultured Isolates LON, System, Test, Automated, Antimicrobial Susceptibility, Short Incubation | QQV, Automated System For Sample Preparation And Identification Of Microorganisms From Cultured Isolates By Mass Spectrometry QBN, Mass Spectrometry, Maldi Tof, Microorganism Identification, Cultured Isolates LON, System, Test, Automated, Antimicrobial Susceptibility, Short Incubation | | Indications for Use | The Colibrí is an automated in vitro diagnostic specimen preparation system for use with WASPLab to prepare MALDI-TOF targets for the bioMérieux VITEK MS or Bruker MALDI Biotyper CA mass spectrometry systems for qualitative identification and microbial suspensions for the bioMérieux VITEK 2 | The Colibrí System is an in vitro diagnostic device comprised of the Colibrí Vision System and Colibrí Preparation Station for use with the bioMérieux VITEK® MS or Bruker MALDI Biotyper® CA mass spectrometry systems for qualitative identification and with the bioMérieux VITEK® 2 Antimicrobial | | Similarities | | | | Item | New Device | Predicate Device | | Device Name (K number) | Colibrí | Colibrí System (K220546) | | | Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) system for qualitative testing of isolated colonies of gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial species grown on solid culture media.
