Urine samples are stained, filtered through a membrane, and excited with light of a defined wavelength range so as to produce a distinct fluorescent signal. Using fluorescent microscopy and a CCD camera, the image of the sample is captured. Using digitized image processing, the microscopic images are analyzed and the concentration of bacteria prosent -in the specimen is determined by applying a proprietary software algorithm. ## Device Story Bactis 160US is an automated, computer-assisted optical imaging system for urine screening. Input: 30 ul urine sample. Process: Sample mixed with fluorescent stains, filtered through membrane to create monolayer; organisms excited by filtered lamp; fluorescence microscopy and CCD camera capture images; digitized image processing localizes and enumerates bacteria. Output: Bacterial concentration reported or categorized as positive/negative based on user-defined threshold. Used in clinical laboratory settings; operated by laboratory personnel. Results provided within 25 minutes. Output assists clinicians in assessing bacteriuria and diagnosing urinary tract infections, potentially reducing need for standard culture. ## Clinical Evidence Clinical study at two sites with 4,561 random urine specimens. Compared Bactis 160US against standard reference culture methods. Results for threshold ≥ 10^5 CFU/ml: Sensitivity 87.5-90.2%, Specificity 75-86.7%, Negative Predictive Value 96.2-97.5%. ## Technological Characteristics Automated optical imaging system. Components: Control and Data Management System (CMS) with two PCs, Specimen Processor and Analyzer (SP&A) unit. Uses fluorescent stains, membrane filtration, filtered lamp excitation, fluorescence microscopy, and CCD camera. Bar-code reader for specimen identification. Robotic arm for reagent dispensing. Software-based image analysis for bacterial enumeration. ## Regulatory Identification A microorganism differentiation and identification device is a device intended for medical purposes that consists of one or more components, such as differential culture media, biochemical reagents, and paper discs or paper strips impregnated with test reagents, that are usually contained in individual compartments and used to differentiate and identify selected microorganisms. The device aids in the diagnosis of disease. ## Predicate Devices - Bac-T-Screen, BioMerieux- Vitek Inc. 1993 ([K924218](/device/K924218.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Bac-T-Screen, BioMerieux- Vitek Inc. 1993 (K924218) | #### Intended Use 1.1 The Bactis 160US is an automated, computer assisted, optical imaging system intended for rapid screening analysis of urine samples for presence of bacteria. ### 1.2 Device Description The Bactis 160US is based on direct screening of urine using optical image analysis. Thirty (30) ul of well-mixed urine is mixed with fluorescent stains that bind to bacteria and other particles present in the specimen. The stained samples are filtered through a membrane. The dispersed and stained organisms are excited with a filtered lamp to produce a distinct fluorescent signal. Using fluorescence microscopy and a CCD camera the image of the sample is captured. These microscopic images are then analyzed. Using digitized image processing techniques, the bacteria are localized and enumerated, and their concentration is determined. Bacterial concentration for each specimen can be then reported. Alternatively, the concentration can be compared to a predetermined threshold (according to each laboratory's policy) and each urine sample can be categorized according to the {1}------------------------------------------------ infection category of "positive" or "negative". This method provide results within 25 minutes. The Bactis system is comprised of the following main components: - Control and Data Management System (CMS) 1. - Specimen Processor and Analyzer (SP&A) Unit 2. The urine screening process is controlled and monitored by the operator via the CMS, The CMS is comprised of two PC computers. An optional printer can be used to provide diagnostic reports. In the SP&A Unit, the specimens are processed and analyzed. #### 1.2.1 Functional Description The Bactis 160US testing process is performed as follows: The specimens are identified by a bar-code reader which is connected to the CMS computer (or by manual logging of the specimens' identification parameters into the computer) and loaded in their standard collection containers into a portable tray that can accommodate up to 16 specimens. The portable tray is inserted by the operator into the SP&A unit's Input Station. Aliquots of each sample are automatically dispensed by the robotic arm into special multiwell cassettes. Fluorescent stains are added and the cassette is directed to the filtration station. Each sample is filtered through a membrane, and the liquid is discarded. This process produces a monolayer of homogeneously dispersed and stained organisms. The samples are then directed to the microscopic imaging station where the system detects the presence of organisms. Bacterial concentration is reported for each specimen. ### 1.3 Substantial Equivalence Comparison The intended/indications for use of the Bactis 160 US are similar to other legally marketed types of urine screening devices. The Bactis 160 US is an automated, computer assisted, microscopy system intended for detection and enumeration of bacteria in urine specimens. The device is indicated for use in rapid screening analysis of urine samples to assess the occurrence of bacteriuria. There are several methods or technological applications currently in use for urine screening for detection of bacteriuria. In general, urine screening devices for bacteriuria are based on bacterial growth such as the standard culture, or on direct enumeration of bacteria in urine samples. Both the Bactis 160 US and the legally marketed Bac-T-Screen 2000 (K924218) devices can detect and enumerate bacteria directly in urine samples without first requiring culture of the urine specimen. The technology employed by the Bactis 160 US is similar to the Bac-T-Screen 2000 in that urine samples are filtered and stained with proprietary stains before the enumeration process takes place. However, the Bactis 160 US, unlike the Bac-T-Screen 2000 (which is based on a colorimetric measurement), employs a direct bacterial particle counting technique, which yields accurate and reliable enumeration of bacteria in urine. {2}------------------------------------------------ Table 1 presents the salient similarities and differences of devices/ methods used for urine screening. | | Table 1 Similarities and Differences | | | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Comparison Elements | Bactis 160 US | Bac-T-Screen | Standard Culture | | Intended Use | Bacteriuria
