Indications for Use
The BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System is intended for in vitro quantitative determination of antimicrobial susceptibility by minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of most Gram-negative and facultative anaerobic bacteria isolates from pure culture for Emero Cram-Regarter accedes and and most Gram-positive bacteria isolates from pure culture belonging to the genera Stanylococcuses , Enterococcus, and Streptococcus. This premarket notification is for the addition of the antimicrobial agent trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole at concentrations of 0.0625/1.2-16/304 ug/mL to Streptococcus ID/AST or AST only Phoenix panels. Trimethoprimsulfamethoxazole has been shown to be active in vitro against most strains of microrganisms listed below, as described in the FDA-approved package insert for this antimicrobial agent.
Device Story
System performs automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) for Streptococcus pneumoniae. Input: pure culture bacterial isolates suspended in AST-S broth (cation-adjusted, non-blood). Process: broth microdilution in 136-well polystyrene trays; redox indicator (colorimetric oxidation-reduction) detects growth; instrument incubates at 35°C with continuous monitoring; readings taken every 20 minutes. Output: MIC values and categorical interpretations (SIR). Used in clinical microbiology laboratories; operated by technicians. Software-driven 'EXPERT' system applies CLSI-derived rules to interpret reactions. Results assist clinicians in selecting appropriate antibiotic therapy. Benefits: rapid, standardized, automated susceptibility determination.
Clinical Evidence
Performance evaluated using clinical and challenge isolates across multiple US sites. Comparison against CLSI reference broth microdilution method. Results for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole: 906 isolates tested, 95.8% Essential Agreement (EA), 95.3% Category Agreement (CA). Reproducibility study at three sites showed >90% intra-site and ≥95% inter-site reproducibility within ±1 dilution.
Technological Characteristics
Automated colorimetric oxidation-reduction growth-based system. Uses 136-well polystyrene trays with dried reagents. AST-S broth contains Tween 80, pancreatic digest of casein, and peptones. Instrument incubates at 35°C; optical reader monitors color change (blue to colorless) every 20 minutes. Software-based 'EXPERT' system for rule-based interpretation. Standalone instrument.
Indications for Use
Indicated for testing Streptococcus pneumoniae using trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole at concentrations of 0.0625/1.2 – 16/304 µg/mL. For prescription use only.
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.”
