Indications for Use
The BD Phoenix™ GN Panel: The BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System is intended for the in vitro rapid identification (ID) and quantitative determination of antimicrobial susceptibility by minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of gram-negative aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae and non-Enterobacteriaceae. BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System: The BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System is intended for in vitro quantitative determination of antimicrobial susceptibility by minimal inhibitory concentration of gram-negative aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae and non-Enterobacteriaceae and gram-positive bacteria belonging to the genera Staphylococcus and Enterococcus.
Device Story
System performs automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) and identification (ID) of bacterial isolates. Input: pure culture colonies suspended in broth, equated to 0.5 McFarland standard using nephelometer, then diluted into AST broth containing redox indicator. Process: inoculated polystyrene trays with 136 micro-wells incubated at 35°C; instrument continuously monitors color change (blue to pink/colorless) via optical scanning every 20 minutes to detect growth; growth indicates resistance, lack of growth indicates susceptibility. Output: MIC values and categorical interpretations (SIR). Used in clinical microbiology laboratories; operated by technicians. Software-driven 'EXPERT' system interprets results based on NCCLS/CLSI rules. Benefits: rapid, automated determination of antibiotic susceptibility to guide clinical treatment decisions.
Clinical Evidence
Performance evaluated against CLSI reference broth microdilution method using clinical, stock, and challenge isolates. Metrics included Essential Agreement (EA) and Category Agreement (CA). Intra-site reproducibility >90% and inter-site reproducibility >95% for Gram-negative isolates. Study followed FDA guidance 'Guidance on Review Criteria for Assessment of Antimicrobial Susceptibility Devices'.
Technological Characteristics
Automated growth-based system using redox indicator (colorimetric oxidation-reduction). Components: instrumentation, software, and molded polystyrene trays with 136 micro-wells. AST broth is cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton with 0.01% Tween 80. Incubation at 35°C. Connectivity: barcode scanning of panels. Software: rule-based 'EXPERT' system derived from NCCLS/CLSI documentation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for in vitro rapid identification and quantitative antimicrobial susceptibility testing (MIC) of gram-negative aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria (Enterobacteriaceae and non-Enterobacteriaceae) and gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus and Enterococcus). Excludes S. maltophilia. 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.”
