SIRSCAN is intended for the management of overall susceptibility tests for the following organisms: Enterobacteriacae, staphylococci (expert coagulase negative staphylococci with weak growth), and non-fermenting gram negative bacilli (except strains with weak growth).
Device Story
SIRSCAN is an automated zone reader and data management system for microbiology laboratories. It utilizes a video camera to capture images of NCCLS M2-A6 Kirby-Bauer disk-diffusion plates; image analysis software measures inhibition zones. For non-disk-diffusion tests, an electronic caliper is used for manual measurement; data from other media can be keyed in manually. The system integrates results, calculates MICs, and provides an expert system for consistency checks. It compiles reports for clinicians, bacteriologists, and epidemiologists; identifies duplicates; monitors resistance phenotypes and nosocomial infections; and generates epidemiological statistics. The device connects to laboratory management systems and micro-dilution systems (e.g., Vitek, Microscan). By automating reading and data management, it assists in clinical decision-making regarding antibiotic susceptibility and infection control.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical evaluation performed by Medeiros and Crellin at Brown University (1998). Study evaluated the SIRSCAN Automated Zone Reader in a clinical microbiology laboratory setting. No specific sensitivity/specificity metrics provided in the summary text.
Technological Characteristics
Video-camera based image analysis system; electronic caliper for manual measurements; computer-based data management system. Connectivity via interface to laboratory management systems and micro-dilution systems. Expert system software for consistency checks and data validation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for management of susceptibility test data for Enterobacteriacae, staphylococci (excluding coagulase-negative with weak growth), and non-fermenting gram-negative bacilli (excluding strains with weak growth) using NCCLS M2-A6 Kirby-Bauer disk-diffusion plates. Intended for use by clinicians, bacteriologists, and epidemiologists.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An automated zone reader is a mechanical device intended for medical purposes to measure zone diameters of microbial growth inhibition (or exhibition), such as those observed on the surface of certain culture media used in disc-agar diffusion antimicrobial susceptibility tests. The device aids in decisionmaking respecting the treatment of disease.

| Device Description: | SIRSCAN is an automatic reader of petri dishes that is used<br>to manage overall susceptibility tests. The SIRSCAN is an<br>automated susceptibility reader and interpretation system. It<br>consists of two components: |
| | (1) The SIRSCAN automated zone reader device is a<br>video-camera image analysis computer-based system to<br>read susceptibility test data from NCCLS M2-A6 Kirby-<br>Bauer disk-diffusion test plates for the following organisms:<br>enterobacteriacae; staphylococci, (except coagulase<br>negative staphylococci with weak growth); and non-<br>fermenting gram negative bacilli (except strains with weak<br>growth). Other susceptibility tests on solid medium are read<br>with the electronic caliper, and the results of susceptibility<br>tests in other media can be keyed in manually. |
{1}------------------------------------------------
| | (2) The SIRSCAN data management system compiles data<br>from the NCCLS agar disk diffusion test. It prints, files and<br>produces integrated results reports, regularly or on request,<br>to be used by clinicians, bacteriologists and epidemiologists.<br>Its expert system feature offers consistency checks for<br>validation of tests and results. |
|-------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| | In addition, the SIRSCAN data management system:<br>interprets zones; calculates MICs; provides quality<br>control and epidemiology and infection control;<br>identifies and eliminates duplicates; compares patient<br>histories; classifies and monitors resistance<br>phenotypes; monitors multi-resistant organisms;<br>detects and monitors nosocomial infections; and<br>prepares epidemiological statistics. |
| | SIRSCAN can be connected to any laboratory management<br>system, and to some micro-dilution systems (e.g., VitekTM,<br>MicroscanTM). |
| Intended Use: | SIRSCAN is intended for the management of overall |
| | susceptibility tests for the following organisms: |
| | Enterobacteriacae, staphylococci (expert coagulase negative |
| | staphylococci with weak growth), and non-fermenting gram |
| | negative bacilli (except strains with weak growth). |
| Performance Data: | Medeiros, A. And Crellin, J., Evaluation of the SIRSCAN<br>Automated Zone Reader in a Clinical Microbiology<br>Laboratory, Brown University (1998). See Appendix C. |
| CONCLUSIONS: | Based on the foregoing and other information in this |
| | application, i2a Corporation believes that the performance |
| | data provide reasonable assurance of the safety and |
| | effectiveness of SIRSCAN for its proposed indications for |
| | use. Further, SIRSCAN is substantially equivalent to the |
| | claimed predicates under conditions of intended use. |
