Indications for Use
VITEK® 2 Gram Negative Doxycycline is designed for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Gram negative bacilli. VITEK® 2 Gram Negative Doxycycline is a quantitative test intended for use with the VITEK® 2 and VITEK® 2 Compact Systems as a laboratory aid in the determination of in vitro susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. Doxycycline has been shown to be active against most strains of the microorganisms listed below, according to the FDA label for this antimicrobial. Active in vitro and in clinical infections Acinetobacter species, Enterobacter aerogines, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species, and Shigella species. The VITEK® 2 Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST) is intended to be used with the VITEK® 2 Systems for the automated quantitative or qualitative susceptibility testing of isolated colonies for the most clinically significant aerobic gram-negative bacilli, Staphylococcus spp., Enterococcus spp., Streptococcus spp. and clinically significant yeast.
Device Story
VITEK® 2 AST card; miniaturized, automated version of doubling dilution technique. Input: bacterial isolate suspension (standardized to 0.5 McFarland). Process: card wells contain premeasured antibiotics in culture media; system automatically fills, seals, and incubates (35.5°C); optical scanning every 15 minutes monitors growth. Output: MIC value and result interpretation. Used in clinical laboratories; operated by technicians. Output aids clinicians in determining in vitro susceptibility to antimicrobial agents, informing antibiotic treatment decisions.
Clinical Evidence
Performance evaluated using 409 clinical isolates and 98 challenge isolates. Compared against broth microdilution reference method. Combined performance for indicated species showed 97.3% Essential Agreement (EA) and 96.5% Category Agreement (CA). Combined performance for all species showed 97.6% EA and 95.1% CA. Reproducibility >95% across three sites. No clinical sensitivity/specificity data required for AST systems.
Technological Characteristics
Miniaturized broth microdilution card containing antimicrobial medium. Automated incubation and optical growth monitoring. Compatible with VITEK 2 and VITEK 2 Compact systems. Quantitative MIC determination. No specific materials or software architecture details provided.
Indications for Use
Indicated for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of isolated colonies of clinically significant aerobic Gram-negative bacilli, Staphylococcus spp., Enterococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., S. pneumoniae, and clinically significant yeast. Specifically for Doxycycline, indicated for Acinetobacter species, Enterobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species, and Shigella species.
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.”
