Indications for Use

The Sensititre® Haemophilus influenzae / Streptococcus pneumoniae (HP) MIC Susceptibility plate is an in vitro diagnostic product for clinical susceptibility testing of Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus species.

Device Story

Sensititre® MIC Susceptibility plates are multi-well microtitre plates containing dried, stabilized antimicrobics; used for quantitative antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). Inoculum prepared from colonies via direct method; added to Mueller-Hinton broth with 2–5% lysed horse blood. Plates incubated 20–24 hours in non-CO2 incubator. Growth detected via fluorescence; bacterial surface enzymes cleave fluorogenic substrate, releasing fluorophore. Fluorescence intensity correlates with bacterial growth. MIC determined by lowest antimicrobial concentration inhibiting growth. Readings performed manually or via Sensititre® AutoReader/ARIS® instrumentation. Results assist clinicians in selecting appropriate antibiotic therapy for Streptococcus infections.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical trial data provided. Performance is based on in vitro susceptibility testing data comparing the Sensititre® HP MIC plate results to standard reference methods for the specified Streptococcus species and antimicrobial agents.

Technological Characteristics

Multi-well plastic microtitre plates; dried, stabilized antimicrobics. Fluorescence-based growth detection via enzymatic cleavage of fluorogenic substrate. Energy source: automated reader instrumentation. Dimensions: microtitre plate format. Connectivity: compatible with Sensititre® AutoReader/ARIS®. Software: automated reading algorithm. Sterilization: not specified.

Indications for Use

Indicated for in vitro clinical susceptibility testing of Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Streptococcus species (including S. agalactiae, S. pyogenes, and Viridans group streptococci) against Meropenem, Moxifloxacin, and Penicillin. Prescription use only.

Regulatory Classification

Sensititre® MIC Susceptibility plate MIC panels are multi-well plastic microtitre plates, precision dosed with dried, stabilized antimicrobics. This is a microversion of the classic broth dilution methods and can provide both qualitative and quantitative susceptibility results. The medium required for testing S. pneumoniae and Streptococcus spp. is Sensititre® Mueller-Hinton (MH) broth with 2 – 5% lysed horse blood with a final organism density of 5 X 10⁵ colony units (CFU/mL). This is then incubated in a non CO₂ incubator for 20 – 24 hour and read manually for growth or using the Sensititre® autoread.

L. Test Principle:
The Sensititre® Autoread System utilizes fluorescence technology to read 24 hour Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus spp. plates. The technology involves the detection of bacterial growth by monitoring the activity of specific surface enzymes produced by the test organism. Growth is determined by generating a fluorescent product from a non-fluorescent (fluorogenic) substrate. The non-fluorescent substrate is prepared by conjugating a fluorescent compound to the specific enzyme substrates with a bond, which prevents fluorescence. The fluorophore, is then said to be quenched. The substrate is added to the inoculum broth and dispensed into the test plates at the same time as the test organism or the plates can be prepared with the substrate already added to the plate. Enzymatic action of the bacterial surface enzymes on the specific substrates, cleave this bond releasing the fluorophore, which is now capable of fluorescence. The amount of fluorescence detected is directly related to the activity of bacterial growth. The MIC is determined by observing the lowest dilution of antimicrobial agent that inhibits growth of the organism or automatically for the detection of fluorescence.

M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):

1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
A reproducibility study was performed on 25 Streptococcus spp. These isolates were tested once for each antimicrobial at each of the three sites on

the automated and manual read methods demonstrating >95% reproducibility for both read methods.

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Not applicable

c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
The recommended QC isolate, S. pneumoniae 49619 was tested daily with acceptable results. Quality control was also performed at all sites using both manual and autoread methods. The Sensititre® results demonstrated that the system can produce QC results in the recommended range for both manual and automated read methods. The mode is the same between the reference method and the two read methods.

An additional QC organism S. pneumoniae #5 was tested to provide on-scale results. The reference method was in range for every day tested.

EA is when there is agreement between the reference method and the Sensititre® panel within plus or minus one serial two-fold dilution of antibiotic. Category agreement (CA) is when the Sensititre® panel interpretative results, Sensitive, Intermediate, and Resistant (SIR) agrees exactly with the reference panel result interpretation. Evaluable EA is when the MIC result is on scale for both the Sensititre® and the reference and have on-scale EA. The EA% is acceptable when compared to the reference method as described in the FDA guidance document, "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST) Systems; Guidance for Industry and FDA".

a(CLSI Comment) For some organism/antimicrobial agent combinations, the absence or rare occurrence of resistant strains precludes defining any results categories other than "susceptible." For strains yielding results suggestive of a "nonsusceptible" category, organism identification and antimicrobial susceptibility test results should be confirmed. Subsequently, the isolates should be saved and submitted to a reference laboratory that will confirm results using a CLSI/NCCLS reference dilution method.

b(FDA Comment) This interpretive standard is applicable only to broth microdilution susceptibility tests using cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth with 2 – 5% lysed horse blood.

{6}

*(CLSI Comment) Strains of beta-hemolytic streptococci with penicillin MICs of greater than 0.12 µg/mL or ampicillin MICs of greater than 0.25 µg/mL have not been observed; submit such strains to a reference laboratory.

N. Proposed Labeling:
