HardyDisk™ AST Disks are used for semi-quantitative in vitro susceptibility testing by the agar diffusion test procedure (Kirby-Bauer) of rapidly growing and certain fastidious bacterial pathogens. Standardized methods for agar diffusion testing have been described for Enterobacteriaceae, Staphylococus spp., Acinetobacter spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Enterococcus spp., and by modified procedures, Haemophilus spp., Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Neisseria meningitidis and Streptococcus spp., including Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Device Story

HardyDisk Ceftolozane/Tazobactam (30/10μg) consists of 6-mm filter paper disks impregnated with antimicrobial agents. Used in clinical microbiology laboratories for Kirby-Bauer agar diffusion testing. User inoculates Mueller Hinton agar with bacterial suspension (0.5 McFarland standard), applies disks, and incubates. After 16-18 hours, user measures zone of inhibition diameter. Results compared against established interpretive criteria to categorize bacteria as susceptible, intermediate, or resistant. Output assists clinicians in selecting appropriate antibiotic therapy for bacterial infections.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An antimicrobial susceptibility test disc is a device that consists of antimicrobic-impregnated paper discs used to measure by a disc-agar diffusion technique or a disc-broth elution technique the in vitro susceptibility of most clinically important bacterial pathogens to antimicrobial agents. In the disc-agar diffusion technique, bacterial susceptibility is ascertained by directly measuring the magnitude of a zone of bacterial inhibition around the disc on an agar surface. The disc-broth elution technique is associated with an automated rapid susceptibility test system and employs a fluid medium in which susceptibility is ascertained by photometrically measuring changes in bacterial growth resulting when antimicrobial material is eluted from the disc into the fluid medium. Test results are used to determine the antimicrobial agent of choice in the treatment of bacterial diseases.

# I. Device Description:

The HardyDisk AST Disks utilize 6-mm diameter white filter paper disks. The disks are prepared by impregnating absorbent paper with a known concentration of $30\mu \mathrm{g}$ Ceftolozane and $10\mu \mathrm{g}$ of Tazobactam. The disks are marked with the code C/T40 on both sides. The letters C/T are for the two agents and the number reflects the total content for both agents combined.

HardyDisk AST Disks are supplied in plastic cartridges containing 50 disks each. They are also packaged as one cartridge per vial with desiccant or five cartridges per vial with desiccant.

# L. Test Principle:

The HardyDisk AST Disks are based on the agar diffusion (Kirby-Bauer) methodology. It utilizes dried filter paper disks impregnated with known concentrations of antimicrobial agents that are placed onto the test medium surface. Mueller Hinton agar is recommended for agar diffusion testing of non-fastidious organisms. Three to five similar colonies are transferred to $4 - 5\mathrm{mL}$ of a suitable broth medium. The broth is incubated at $35^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ for 2-6 hours to develop a turbidity that exceeds or is equivalent to a 0.5 McFarland standard.

{4}

Alternatively, a direct broth or saline suspension of colonies may be prepared from an overnight culture. The final inoculum density should be equivalent to a 0.5 McFarland turbidity standard. The inoculum density may also be standardized photometrically.

Within 15 minutes of inoculum preparation, the Mueller Hinton agar is streaked with an inoculated swab to obtain an even inoculation. Disks are aseptically placed onto the agar surface with a disk dispenser and the disks are pressed down with a sterile needle or forceps to make contact with the agar surface. Agar plates are incubated in an ambient air incubator at $35 \pm 2^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ for 16 -18 hours. Fastidious organisms are tested using appropriate media incubated in an atmosphere enriched with $5\%$ $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$, as recommended in the CLSI M02 approved standard document.

After incubation the agar medium is examined for zone of inhibition around the disks. The zones of inhibition are measured to the nearest millimeter and compared against recognized zone size ranges for the antimicrobial agent being tested.
