VITEK 2 Gram Negative Meropenem is a quantitative test. Meropenem has been shown to be active against most isolates of the following microorganisms listed below according to the FDA label for the antimicrobial. Active in vitro and in clinical infections: Escherichia coli Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis, Acinetobacter species Aeromonas hydrophila Citrobacter diversus Citrobacter freundii Enterobacter cloacae Hafnia alvei Klebsiella oxytoca Morganella morganii Pasteurella multocida Proteus vulgaris Salmonella species Serratia marcescens Shigella species The VITEK® 2 Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST) is intended to be used with the VITEK® 2 and VITEK® 2 Compact Systems for the automated quantitative or qualitative susceptibility testing of isolated colonies for the most clinically significant aerobic gram-negative bacilli, Staphylococcus spp., Enterococcus spp., Streptococcus agalactiae, and S. pneumoniae. ## Device Story VITEK®2 AST card system determines antimicrobial susceptibility of Gram-negative bacteria. Device uses microdilution minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) technique. Process: inoculation of card with standardized organism suspension; incubation within instrument; continuous optical monitoring via transmittance optics. Optics measure light transmittance through wells to track organism growth. Algorithm uses growth characteristics and discriminate analysis to calculate MICs.

Results inform antibiotic treatment decisions for patients with bacterial infections. ## Clinical Evidence Clinical and challenge performance study compared VITEK 2 GN Meropenem to reference methods. Results: Essential Agreement (EA) 97.6%, Category Agreement (CA) 96.8%. Reproducibility was 99.6%. Quality control testing performed with >20 tests in range. Data demonstrates performance comparable to predicate device. ## Technological Characteristics Microdilution-based AST card. Transmittance optics for growth monitoring. Automated inoculation and incubation. Software-based discriminate analysis algorithm for MIC calculation. Standardized broth media. Dimensions/form factor: VITEK®2 AST card.

Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable): Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test 2 (AST) Systems; Guidance for Industry and FDA"; CLSI M7 (M100-S 18) "Methods for Dilution Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria That Grow Aerobically; Approved Standard". L. Test Principle: Optics systems use visible light to directly measure organism growth. These transmittance optics are based on an initial light reading of a well before significant growth has begun. Periodic light transmittance samplings of the same well measure organism growth by how much light is prevented from going through the well. An interpretive call is made between 4 and 16 hours for a "rapid" read but may be extended to 18 hours in some instances. The VITEK®2 Susceptibility Card test is based on the microdilution minimum inhibitory concentration technique with concentrations equivalent to standard method concentrations. Several parameters based on the growth characteristics observed are used to provide appropriate input for the MIC calculations. Discriminate analysis is used to develop the algorithm that determines the susceptibility result for all antimicrobials on the VITEK®2 system. {3} The MIC result must be linked to organism identification in order to determine a category interpretation. A category interpretation (SIR) will be reported along with a MIC. ## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable): ### 1. Analytical performance: **a. Precision/Reproducibility:** Ten gram negative isolates were tested at three sites in triplicate for three days using both the manual dilution and the automatic dilution method. These same organisms were tested at one site three times to determine within site reproducibility of >95% also. This testing was performed using both the manual dilution of the inoculum and also the automatic dilution method. **b. Linearity/assay reportable range:** Not applicable **c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):** The FDA recommended quality control (QC) isolates P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and E. coli ATCC 25922 were tested at each study site by the reference method and the VITEK®2. The reference method QC results were in range for every day tested. The VITEK®2 was tested a sufficient number of times to demonstrate that the system can produce QC results in the recommended range. Quality Control was performed during the studies using both autodilution and the manual dilution method. 4 {4} Quality Control Summary | ORGANISM | VITEK®2 Conc.(ug/mL) | VITEK®2 AUTO-DIL | VITEK®2 MAN-DIL | Reference Conc.

Method comparison with predicate device: A clinical study was conducted at three external sites. bioMerieux, Inc served as a fourth trial site using the VITEK®2 gram negative meropenem and the broth microdilution method as recommended by CLSI. Inoculum was prepared with direct colony suspension and incubated in ambient air at $35 \pm 2^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ for 16 - 20 hours. The testing included both fresh clinical isolates and stock isolates along with a challenge set with known results. Two methods of inoculation (manual and automated) were evaluated. Clinical testing was performed using the automated method of inoculation and the challenge set was tested using both the manual and the automated method. The test device had a growth rate of $>90\%$. A comparison was provided to the reference method with the following agreement. One very major discrepancy is indicated for Enterobacteriaceae and two for P. aeruginosa which is within the specified limits for acceptance according to the Guidance Document criteria.
