Indications for Use
The BD PhoenixTM Automated Microbiology System is intended for the rapid identification and in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing of isolates from pure culture of most aerobic and facultative anaerobic Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria of human origin.
Device Story
BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System performs antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) on bacterial isolates. Input: pure culture colonies suspended in broth, equated to 0.5 McFarland standard using BD CrystalSpec™ Nephelometer, and inoculated into 136-well polystyrene trays containing dried reagents and AST indicator. Instrument incubates panels at 35°C; continuously monitors colorimetric oxidation-reduction (blue to pink/colorless) to detect growth. Readings taken every 20 minutes; results available in 4-16 hours. Software interprets biochemical/antimicrobial reactions to provide MIC values and categorical interpretations (SIR). System uses 'EXPERT' software rules derived from CLSI documentation to assist clinical decision-making. Benefits include automated, rapid determination of antibiotic susceptibility to guide targeted antimicrobial therapy.
Clinical Evidence
Performance evaluated using clinical, stock, and challenge isolates across multiple US sites. Results compared to CLSI reference broth microdilution method. Metrics include Essential Agreement (EA) and Category Agreement (CA). Intra-site reproducibility >90%; inter-site reproducibility >95%.
Technological Characteristics
Automated microbiology system; 136-well molded polystyrene panels; redox indicator-based growth detection; continuous incubation at 35°C; optical turbidity/redox measurement every 20 minutes; standalone instrument with integrated software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for in vitro quantitative determination of antimicrobial susceptibility (MIC) of Gram-negative aerobic/facultative anaerobic bacteria (Enterobacteriaceae and Non-Enterobacteriaceae) and Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus, Enterococcus, and Streptococcus) from pure culture. Contraindicated for non-pure cultures.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A fully automated short-term incubation cycle antimicrobial susceptibility system is a device that incorporates concentrations of antimicrobial agents into a system for the purpose of determining in vitro susceptibility of bacterial pathogens isolated from clinical specimens. Test results obtained from short-term (less than 16 hours) incubation are used to determine the antimicrobial agent of choice to treat bacterial diseases.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is FDA's guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST) Systems; Guidance for Industry and FDA.”

4. Special instrument requirements:
Not Applicable
I. Device Description:
The BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System includes instrumentation and software, sealed and self-inoculating molded polystyrene trays with 136 micro-wells containing dried reagents, and specific inoculum broth formulations for ID and AST Indicator. The organism to be tested must be a pure culture and be preliminarily identified as gram positive or gram negative. Colonies are then suspended in broth, and equated to a 0.5 McFarland with the recommendation to use the BD CrystalSpec™ Nephelometer. A further dilution is made into an AST broth, which contains an AST indicator, prior to inoculating the panel. The AST broth is a cation-adjusted formulation of Mueller-Hinton broth containing 0.01% Tween 80. After adding the indicator solution to the AST inoculum the color is blue and after inoculation and incubation goes to pink to colorless as reduction in the panel well proceeds. Inoculated panels are barcode scanned and loaded into the BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System instrument where the panels are continuously incubated at 35°C. The AST has a final inoculum of 5 × 10⁵ CFU/ml. The instrument incubates, reads and records the results of the biochemical substrates and antimicrobial agents and interprets the reactions to give an ID of the isolate and MIC value and category interpretation of the antimicrobial agents. Organisms growing in the presence of a given antimicrobic agent reduce the indicator, signaling organism growth and resistance to the antimicrobic agent. Organisms killed or inhibited by a given antimicrobic do not cause reduction of the indicator and therefore do not produce a color change. Additional interpretation is done using software driven

"EXPERT" System using rules derived from the CLSI documentation.
Readings are taken every 20 minutes with an AST result available between 4-16 hours. This is only an autoread result; there are no manual readings possible.

K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable):
“Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test Systems; Guidance for Industry and FDA”; CLSI M7 (M100-S16) “Methods for Dilution Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria That Grow Aerobically; Approved Standard.”
L. Test Principle:
The AST portion of the BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System is a broth based microdilution method that utilizes a redox indicator (colorimetric oxidation-reduction) to enhance detection of organism growth. The MIC is determined by comparing growth in wells containing serial two-fold dilutions of an antibiotic to the growth in “growth control wells” which contains no antibiotic.

a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Intersite and Intrasite testing demonstrated >95% reproducibility. The ten isolate study described in the guidance document was used (10 organisms tested 3 times on 3 days at 3 sites).

Inoculum density control: The organism suspension density of the ID broth was equivalent to a 0.5 McFarland standard using the BBL™ CrystalSpec™ Nephelometer which was verified each day of testing. Internal data was used to demonstrate that the use of the BBL™ CrystalSpec™ Nephelometer would produce reproducible results. Five different instruments were used.
