The panels contain dried antimicrobial agents; bacterial isolates are inoculated into the panel wells. Following incubation, growth is assessed to determine susceptibility. The system is compatible with autoScan-4 and WalkAway instruments for automated reading and interpretation. Results assist clinicians in selecting appropriate antibiotic therapy for patients with bacterial infections, potentially improving clinical outcomes by ensuring targeted treatment. ## Clinical Evidence Performance was evaluated using fresh and stock efficacy isolates and stock challenge strains. The study compared the dried Levofloxacin panel against an NCCLS frozen reference panel. Results demonstrated an overall essential agreement of 99.4%. Reproducibility and precision were confirmed across different inoculum methods (Turbidity and Prompt) and instrument platforms (autoScan-4 and WalkAway). Quality control performance was acceptable. ## Technological Characteristics Microdilution panels containing dried antimicrobial agents. Compatible with automated reading via autoScan-4 and WalkAway systems. Supports multiple inoculum methods (Turbidity and Prompt). ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - NCCLS Frozen Levofloxacin Reference Panels ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

CA 95691 916.372.1900 ## 510(k) Submission Information: | Device Manufacturer: | Dade MicroScan Inc. | |----------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------| | Contact name: | Sharolyn Lentsch, Sr. Regulatory Affairs Administrator | | Fax: | 916-374-3144 | | Date prepared: | July 3, 1997 | | Product Name: | Microdilution Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) Panels | | Trade Name: | MicroScan® Dried Gram-Positive MIC/Combo Panels | | Intended Use: | To determine antimicrobial agent susceptibility | | 510(k) Notification: | New antimicrobial - Levofloxacin | | Predicate device: | NCCLS Frozen Levofloxacin Reference Panels | ### 510(k) Summary: The proposed MicroScan® Dried Gram-Positive MIC/Combo Panel with Levofloxacin demonstrated substantially equivalent performance when compared with an NCCLS frozen Levofloxacin Reference Panel, as defined in the FDA DRAFT document "Review Criteria for Assessment of Antimicrobial Susceptibility Devices" (dated May 31, 1991). The Premarket Notification (510/k)) presents data in support of a new antimicrobial Levofloxacin, for the MicroScan® Dried Gram-Positive MIC/Combo Panels. The gram-positive external evaluations were conducted with fresh and stock Efficacy isolates and stock Challenge strains. The external evaluations were designed to confirm the acceptability of the proposed Dried Levofloxacin panel by comparing its performance with an NCCLS frozen Levofloxacin Reference panel. The Dried Gram-Positive Levofloxacin panel demonstrated acceptable performance with an overall Essential Agreement of 99.4% when compared with the frozen Levofloxacin Reference panel. Inoculum and instrument reproducibility testing was conducted; both the Gram-Positive Dried Levofloxacin panels demonstrated acceptable reproducibility and precision, regardless of which inoculum method (i.e., Turbidity and Prompt), or instrument (autoScan-4 and WalkAway Systems) was used. Quality Control performance was acceptable for both the Gram-Positive Dried Levofloxacin panels. {1}------------------------------------------------ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Public Health Service Image /page/1/Picture/2 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
