To determine bacterial antimicrobial agent susceptibility
Device Story
MicroScan® MICroSTREP plus® Panel is a 96-well plastic dish containing dehydrated microdilutions of azithromycin. Panels are rehydrated with Mueller-Hinton broth supplemented with 2–5% lysed horse blood and inoculated with aerobic streptococci (target 5 × 10⁵ CFU/mL). After 20-24 hours of incubation at 35°C, growth is assessed either manually or via the MicroScan® WalkAway instrument. The instrument uses optics light detection to measure growth in each well. The device determines the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) by identifying the lowest antimicrobial concentration that inhibits bacterial growth. This automated reading capability allows clinicians to obtain susceptibility results for azithromycin, aiding in the selection of appropriate antimicrobial therapy for patients with streptococcal infections.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Reproducibility was assessed using 10 isolates across 3 sites, demonstrating >95% reproducibility for both manual and automated methods. Comparison studies using 70 CDC challenge isolates showed 95.7% Essential Agreement (EA) for both manual and automated reading methods compared to the reference broth dilution method. No very major or major discrepancies were observed. Quality control was performed using S. pneumoniae ATCC 49619, with both reading methods producing identical modes.
Technological Characteristics
Miniaturized broth dilution panel; 96-well format; utilizes Mueller-Hinton broth with 2-5% lysed horse blood and 50 mM HEPES buffer. Automated optical reading via MicroScan WalkAway instrument. Incubation at 35°C +/- 1°C in non-CO2 environment.
Indications for Use
Indicated for testing Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococci (Groups C,F,G), and viridans group streptococci using the MicroScan® WalkAway System.
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.

## 510(k) Summary:
The MicroScan MICroSTREP plus® Panel is used to determine quantitative and/or qualitative antimicrobial agent susceptibility of colonies grown on solid media of aerobic streptococci, including Streptococcus pneumoniae. After inoculation, panels are incubated for 20 - 24 hours at 35°C +/-1 °C in a non-CO2 incubator, and read according to the Package Insert.
The antimicrobial susceptibility tests are miniaturizations of the broth dilution susceptibility test. Various antimicrobial agents are diluted in water, buffer or minute concentrations of broth to concentrations bridging the range of clinical interest. Panels are rehydrated with 115 µl Mueller-Hinton broth supplemented with 2-5% lysed horse blood (LHB) and buffered with 50 mM HEPES, after inoculation of the broth with a standardized suspension of the organism in saline. After incubation in a non-CO2 incubator for 20-24 hours, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for the test organism is manually read by observing the lowest antimicrobial concentration showing inhibition of growth. Additionally, the panels may be incubated in and read by a MicroScan® WalkAway instrument.
The proposed instrument read method for the MicroScan MICroSTREP plus® Panel demonstrated substantially equivalent performance with streptococcal isolates when compared with an expected result generated on a CLSI frozen Reference Panel, as defined in the FDA document "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST) Systems; Guidance for Industry and FDA", dated February 5, 2003.
This Premarket Notification (510[k]) presents data in support of reading the MICroSTREP plus Panel with Azithromycin on the MicroScan® WalkAway instrument.
The external evaluation was conducted with stock and CDC Challenge strains. The external evaluations were designed to confirm the acceptability of the proposed instrument read method for
{1}------------------------------------------------
the MICroSTREP plus® Panel by comparing its performance with Expected Results determined before the evaluation. The MICroSTREP plus® Panel demonstrated acceptable performance with an overall Essential Agreement of 95.7% for Azithromycin instrument read results compared with the Expected Result.
Instrument reproducibility testing demonstrated acceptable reproducibility and precision with Azithromycin and the WalkAway® instrument.
Quality Control testing demonstrated acceptable results for Azithromycin.
