Class 2
Indications for Use
To determine gram-positive bacterial susceptibility to the antimicrobial agent Synercid.
Device Story
MicroScan® Dried Gram-Positive MIC/Combo Panels are in vitro diagnostic devices used in clinical laboratories to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the antimicrobial agent Synercid against specific gram-positive bacteria. The panels contain dried antimicrobial agents; clinical samples are inoculated into the panels. The device is processed using automated instruments (autoScan-4 or WalkAway®) or manual methods. The system measures bacterial growth inhibition to determine susceptibility. Results assist clinicians in selecting appropriate antibiotic therapy for patients with identified bacterial infections. The device provides standardized, reproducible susceptibility testing to guide clinical decision-making and improve patient outcomes.
Clinical Evidence
External evaluations conducted using fresh and stock Efficacy isolates and stock Challenge strains. Performance compared to NCCLS frozen Synercid Reference panel. Overall Essential Agreement was 98.4%. Reproducibility and precision testing performed across multiple inoculum methods (Turbidity and Prompt) and instruments (autoScan-4 and WalkAway®). Quality Control performance was acceptable.
Technological Characteristics
Dried gram-positive MIC/Combo panels containing Synercid (0.06 - 4 mcg/ml). Utilizes microdilution method for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Compatible with autoScan-4 and WalkAway® instrumentation. Inoculum methods include Turbidity and Prompt.
Indications for Use
Indicated for determining susceptibility of Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus, Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, Streptococcus pyogenes (Gp.A), Streptococcus agalactiae (Gp.B), Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis to Synercid. Not indicated for Streptococcus pneumoniae or viridans streptococci.
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.

| Product Name: | Microdilution Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) Panel |
| Trade Name: | MicroScan® Dried Gram-Positive MIC/Combo Panels |
| Intended Use: | To determine microbial susceptibility to Synercid |
| 510(k) Notification: | New antimicrobial - Synercid |
| Predicate device: | Microscan Dried Panels e.g. Trovafloxacin (K983408) |
## 510(k) Summary:
The proposed MicroScan® Dried Gram-Positive MIC/Combo Panel with Synercid demonstrated substantially equivalent performance when compared with an NCCLS frozen Synercid 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 the new antimicrobial, Quinupristin/Dalfopristin (Synercid), 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 Synercid panels by comparing their performance with an NCCLS frozen Synercid Reference panel.
The Dried gram-positive Synercid panel demonstrated acceptable performance with an overall Essential Agreement of 98.4% when compared with the frozen Synercid Reference panel.
Inoculum and instrument reproducibility testing was conducted; the gram-positive Dried Synercid panels demonstrated acceptable reproducibility and precision, regardless of which inoculum method (i.e., Turbidity and Prompt), or instrument (autoScan-4 and WalkAway®) was used.
Quality Control performance was acceptable for the gram-positive Dried Synercid panels.

Dear Mr. Wall:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition. FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

Under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA-88), this device may require a CLIA complexity categorization. To determine if it does, you should contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at (770)488-7655.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4588. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
