The identification of these microorganisms is accomplished by the addition of a specific biochemical component(s) to the medium. Microorganisms are identified by a visible change (e.g., a color change) in a specific biochemical component(s) which indicates that specific metabolic reactions have occurred. Test results aid in the diagnosis of disease and also provide epidemiological information on diseases caused by these microorganisms. ## Classification Rationale Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 866.9. ## Recent Cleared Devices (20 of 146) Showing 20 most recent of 146 cleared devices. | Record | Device Name | Applicant | Decision Date | Decision | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [K881560](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/MI/subpart-c%E2%80%94microbiology-devices/JSH/K881560.md) | UREA BROTH | Acumedia Manufacturers, Inc. | Apr 18, 1988 | SESE | | [K881559](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/MI/subpart-c%E2%80%94microbiology-devices/JSH/K881559.md) | UREA AGAR BASE | Acumedia Manufacturers, Inc. | Apr 18, 1988 | SESE | | [K881553](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/MI/subpart-c%E2%80%94microbiology-devices/JSH/K881553.md) | RUSSELL DOUBLE SUGAR AGAR | Acumedia Manufacturers, Inc. | Apr 18, 1988 | SESE | | [K881551](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/MI/subpart-c%E2%80%94microbiology-devices/JSH/K881551.md) | PHENOL RED BROTH BASE | Acumedia Manufacturers, Inc. | Apr 18, 1988 | SESE | | [K881540](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/MI/subpart-c%E2%80%94microbiology-devices/JSH/K881540.md) | FLO AGAR | Acumedia Manufacturers, Inc. | Apr 18, 1988 | SESE | | [K881486](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/MI/subpart-c%E2%80%94microbiology-devices/JSH/K881486.md) | DNASE TEST AGAR | Acumedia Manufacturers, Inc. | Apr 18, 1988 | SESE | | [K880121](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/MI/subpart-c%E2%80%94microbiology-devices/JSH/K880121.md) | MOELLERS DECARBOXYLASE, BASE | Hardy Media | Mar 31, 1988 | SESE | | [K880117](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/MI/subpart-c%E2%80%94microbiology-devices/JSH/K880117.md) | OF MEDIUM BASE | Hardy Media | Mar 30, 1988 | SESE | | [K873270](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/MI/subpart-c%E2%80%94microbiology-devices/JSH/K873270.md) | ACTINOMYCETE DIFFERENTIAL MEDIA | Central Media | Nov 4, 1987 | SESE | | [K873263](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/MI/subpart-c%E2%80%94microbiology-devices/JSH/K873263.md) | MAINTENANCE & CARBOHYDRATE FERMENTATION MEDIA | Central Media | Oct 28, 1987 | SESE | | [K873411](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/MI/subpart-c%E2%80%94microbiology-devices/JSH/K873411.md) | SIMMONS CITRATE MEDIUM SLANT, PRODUCT #T3084 | Lakewood Biochemical Co., Inc. | Oct 6, 1987 | SESE | | [K873704](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/MI/subpart-c%E2%80%94microbiology-devices/JSH/K873704.md) | MOTILITY INDOLE ORNATHINE (MIO) PRODUCT #T3053 | Lakewood Biochemical Co., Inc. | Oct 2, 1987 | SESE | | [K873703](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/MI/subpart-c%E2%80%94microbiology-devices/JSH/K873703.md) | LYSINE IRON AGAR (LIA) PRODUCT #T3046 | Lakewood Biochemical Co., Inc. | Oct 2, 1987 | SESE | | [K872670](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/MI/subpart-c%E2%80%94microbiology-devices/JSH/K872670.md) | IAFP MAC CONKEY AGAR | I.A.F.
