Device Facts

• Record ID: K973317
• Device Name: PASCO MIC AND MIC/ID PANELS
• Applicant: Pasco Laboratories, Inc.
• Product Code: LTT · Microbiology
• Decision Date: Nov 14, 1997
• Decision: SESE
• Submission Type: Traditional
• Regulation: 21 CFR 866.1640
• Device Class: Class 2

Indications for Use

Pasco MIC and MIC/ID panels are used for quantitatively measuring (with the exception of the Breakpoint/ID panel which provides qualitative measurement of category results) the susceptibility of rapidly growing aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacterial pathogens to a battery of antimicrobial agents and determining the biochemical identification of those organisms. This 510(k) notification is for the addition of Cefpodoxime to Pasco panels at concentrations of 0.03 to 16 mcg/ml for determining the susceptibility of bacterial pathogens with the exception of Haemophilus and S. Pneumoniae.

Device Story

PASCO MIC and MIC/ID panels are in vitro diagnostic devices used in clinical laboratories. Panels contain various antimicrobial agents at specific concentrations to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of bacterial pathogens. The device facilitates biochemical identification of organisms and susceptibility testing. Healthcare providers use the resulting MIC values to guide antimicrobial therapy decisions for patients with bacterial infections. The system provides quantitative susceptibility data, aiding in the selection of appropriate antibiotic treatments.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on the established performance of the PASCO panel platform and the addition of the antimicrobial agent Cefpodoxime.

Technological Characteristics

In vitro diagnostic panels for bacterial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Utilizes microdilution methodology for MIC determination. Cefpodoxime concentrations range from 0.03 to 16 mcg/ml.

Indications for Use

Indicated for the quantitative susceptibility testing of rapidly growing aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacterial pathogens to antimicrobial agents and biochemical identification of these organisms. Excludes Haemophilus and S. Pneumoniae for Cefpodoxime testing.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An antimicrobial susceptibility test powder is a device that consists of an antimicrobial drug powder packaged in vials in specified amounts and intended for use in clinical laboratories for determining in vitro susceptibility of bacterial pathogens to these therapeutic agents. Test results are used to determine the antimicrobial agent of choice in the treatment of bacterial diseases.

Dear Ms. Dillon:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market --the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major requlations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance to 895. with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Reqister. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal Laws or Regulations.

Under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA-88), this device may require a CLIA complexity categorization. To determine if it does, you should contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at [phone].

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a leqally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at [phone]. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at [phone]. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbrandinq by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
