Indications for Use
The BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System is intended for the rapid identification and in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing of isolates from pure culture of most aerobic and facultative anaerobic Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria of human origin.
Device Story
BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System performs automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). System uses sealed, self-inoculating polystyrene trays containing dried reagents and AST indicator broth. Input: pure bacterial culture suspended in broth (0.5 McFarland standard). Process: inoculated panels are barcode-scanned and incubated at 35°C; system continuously monitors colorimetric oxidation-reduction of redox indicator in micro-wells. Growth in presence of antibiotic prevents indicator reduction (no color change); inhibition allows reduction (color change). Software-driven 'EXPERT' system interprets reactions using CLSI-derived rules to provide MIC values and categorical interpretations (SIR). Output: automated MIC results and SIR categories. Used in clinical microbiology laboratories; operated by technicians. Results assist clinicians in selecting appropriate antibiotic therapy for patients.
Clinical Evidence
Performance evaluated via multi-site clinical study (6 sites) comparing Phoenix™ panels to CLSI broth microdilution reference method. Combined data for Nitrofurantoin, Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole, and Nalidixic Acid showed Essential Agreement (EA) >95% and Category Agreement (CA) ranging from 84.4% to 97.7%. Precision/reproducibility testing demonstrated >95% agreement. No clinical sensitivity/specificity data required for AST systems.
Technological Characteristics
Broth-based microdilution system; colorimetric oxidation-reduction sensing principle using redox indicator. Form factor: sealed, self-inoculating molded polystyrene trays (136 micro-wells). Energy source: automated incubation/monitoring instrument. Connectivity: barcode scanning, automated data recording. Software: rule-based 'EXPERT' system (CLSI-derived). Sterilization: not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for in vitro quantitative determination of antimicrobial susceptibility by MIC of Gram-negative aerobic/facultative anaerobic bacteria (Enterobacteriaceae and Non-Enterobacteriaceae) and Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus, Enterococcus, and Streptococcus) from pure culture. Includes specific testing for Nitrofurantoin, Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and Nalidixic Acid.
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.”
