The MTS (MIC Test Strip) Omadacycline 0.002-32 ug/mL is a quantitative method intended for the in vitro determination of antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria. MTS consists of specialized paper impregnated with a pre-defined concentration gradient of an antimicrobial agent, which is used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) in μg/mL of antimicrobial agents against bacteria as tested on agar media using overnight incubation and manual reading procedures. The MTS Omadcycline at concentrations of 0.002-32 ug/mL should be interpreted at 16-20 hours (non-fastidious organisms) and 20-24 hours (fastidious organisms) of incubation.
Device Story
MTS Omadacycline is a quantitative antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) strip. It consists of paper impregnated with an exponential gradient of omadacycline. The strip is placed on inoculated agar; the antibiotic diffuses into the medium, creating an inhibition ellipse after 20-24 hours of incubation. The MIC is determined by manual visual inspection of the intersection between the inhibition ellipse and the strip. Used in clinical microbiology laboratories to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration of omadacycline against specific fastidious and non-fastidious bacteria. Results guide clinicians in selecting appropriate antibiotic therapy for patients with infections such as CABP or ABSSSI. The device provides a quantitative result that aids in determining bacterial susceptibility, helping to optimize treatment efficacy.
Clinical Evidence
Performance evaluated using 336 clinical and 67 challenge isolates of fastidious Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Compared against CLSI reference broth microdilution. Overall performance: Haemophilus spp. (98.6% EA, 96.5% CA), S. pneumoniae (91.7% EA, 96.7% CA), S. pyogenes (100% EA, 91.4% CA), and S. anginosus group (100% EA). Reproducibility was 99.3%. Trending analysis identified higher MIC readings for S. pneumoniae, S. anginosus group, and S. pyogenes, which is noted in the labeling.

A Intended Use(s):
See Indications for Use below.
B Indication(s) for Use:
The MTS (MIC Test Strip) Omadacycline 0.002-32 ug/mL is a quantitative method intended for the in vitro determination of antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria. MTS consists of specialized paper impregnated with a pre-defined concentration gradient of an antimicrobial agent, which is used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) in $\mu \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mL}$ of antimicrobial agents against bacteria as tested on agar media using overnight incubation and manual reading procedures. The MTS Omadcycline at concentrations of 0.002-32 ug/mL should be interpreted at 16-20 hours (non-fastidious organisms) and 20-24 hours (fastidious organisms) of incubation.
Omadacycline has been shown to be active both clinically and in vitro against these bacterial species according to the FDA drug approved label:
Gram-positive bacteria
Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus lugdunensis
Enterococcus feacalis
Streptococcus pneumoniae
Streptococcus pyogenes
Streptococcus anginosus group (S. anginosus and S. constellatus)
Gram-negative bacteria
Enterobacter cloacae
Klebsiella pneumoniae
Haemophilus influenzae
Haemophilus parainfluenzae
Omadacycline has been shown to be active in vitro only against the bacterial species listed below according to the FDA drug approved label:
Gram-positive bacteria
Enterococcus faecium (vancomycin-susceptible and resistant isolates)
Gram-negative bacteria
Escherichia coli
Citrobacter freundii
Citrobacter koseri
Klebsiella aerogenes
Klebsiella oxytoca
C Special Conditions for Use Statement(s):
Rx-Prescription Use Only
Limitations:
The following Limitations are included in the labeling:
{2}
The ability of the MTS to detect resistant isolates with the following drug/bacterial species combinations is unknown because resistant isolates were either not available or an insufficient number was encountered at the time of comparative testing.
Omadacycline: H. influenzae, H. parainfluenzae, S. anginosus, S. constellatus and S. pyogenes.
Per the FDA-Recognized Susceptibility Test Interpretive Criteria website, the safety and efficacy of antimicrobial drugs for which antimicrobial susceptibility is tested by this AST device, may or may not have been established in adequate and well-controlled clinical trials for treating clinical infections due to microorganisms outside of those found in the indications and usage in the drug label. The clinical significance of susceptibility information in those instances is unknown. The approved labelling for specific antimicrobial drugs provides the uses for which the antimicrobial drug is approved.
Resistance mechanism characterization was not available for all organisms at the time of comparative testing, and therefore the performance of the MTS Omadacycline for fastidious Gram-negative bacilli and Gram-positive cocci is unknown for the following: S. pneumoniae [tet(K), tet (L), tet (M)]; S. pyogenes [tet(K), tet(L), tet(M)]; S. anginosus [tet(K), tet(L), tet(M)]; S. constellatus [tet(K), tet(L), tet(M)]; H. influenzae[tet(B)]; H. parainfluenzae [tet(B)].
## D Special Instrument Requirements:
Manual reading only
## IV Device/System Characteristics:
### A Device Description:
The MIC Test Strip (MTS) consists of specialized paper impregnated with a predefined concentration gradient of omadacycline, across 15 two-fold dilutions similar to dilutions used by conventional MIC methods. One side of the strip is labelled with the omadacycline code (OMC) and the MIC reading scale is $\mu \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mL}$. MIC values are determined by identifying the drug concentration at which growth of the ellipse ends.
### B Principle of Operation:
MTS are made of specialized paper impregnated with a predefined concentration gradient of antibiotic, across 15 two-fold dilutions similar to dilutions used by conventional MIC methods. When the MIC Test Strip is applied onto an inoculated agar surface, the preformed exponential gradient of antimicrobial agent diffuses into the agar for over an hour. After appropriate incubation, a symmetrical inhibition ellipse centered along the strip is formed. The MIC is read directly from the scale in terms of $\mu \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mL}$ at the point where the edge of the inhibition ellipse intersects the strip MIC Test Strip.
Growth along the entire gradient (i.e., no inhibition ellipse) indicates that the MIC value is greater than or equal to $(\geq)$ the highest value on the scale. An inhibition ellipse that intersects below the lower end of the scale is read as less than $(<)$ the lowest value. An MIC of 0.125 $\mu \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mL}$ is considered to be the same as $0.12\mu \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mL}$ for reporting purposes.

An MTS MIC value which falls between standard two-fold dilutions must be rounded up to the next standard upper two-fold value before categorization.

VII Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
A Analytical Performance:
1. Precision/Reproducibility:
Reproducibility testing was conducted at three sites using ten Gram-negative and Gram-positive fastidious bacteria. Each isolate was tested in triplicates over three days. The reproducibility panel included: two isolates of *H. influenzae*, one isolate of *H. parainfluenzae*, three isolates of *S. pneumoniae*, two isolates of *S. pyogenes*, two isolates of *S. anginosus*, and one isolate of *S. constellatus*. The mode of the MIC value was predetermined for each organism, and the reproducibility was calculated based on the number of MIC values that fell within ±1 doubling dilution of the mode. All MIC results were on scale. MTS Omadaycline results for fastidious Gram-negative and Gram-positive results were within a doubling dilution of the reference broth microdilution results.
The testing resulted in overall reproducibility of 99.3%. The results were acceptable.

5. Traceability, Stability, Expected Values (Controls, Calibrators, or Methods):
Inoculum Density Check:
The inoculum was prepared in saline (0.85% NaCl) to achieve turbidity equivalent to a 0.5 McFarland standard. Colony counts were performed periodically at each site for all QC replicates. Inoculum density checks were performed, and the colony counts obtained for each QC strain were within the recommended range of approximately 1 x 10⁸ CFU/mL. Colony counts was also determined from one replicate of each reproducibility isolate on each of the three days of testing and from a minimum of 10% of the clinical strains tested.
Purity Checks:
Purity checks were performed on all isolates following MTS inoculation. All isolates were pure in both the broth microdilution reference panels and the MTS agar plates.
Growth Rate:
All clinical and challenge isolates grew in both the reference broth microdilution panels and the MTS agar plates, with the exception of four S. constellatus clinical isolates that did not grow in the broth microdilution panel and were excluded from analysis.
Quality Control:
The QC strains recommended for routine testing by the CLSI for testing Omadacycline, namely, H. influenzae ATCC 49247, and S. pneumoniae ATCC 49619 were tested at three sites for a minimum of 20 times at each testing site. Omadacycline MIC results for these QC strains are summarized in Table 2.
Table 2. QC Results for Omadacycline with the CLSI Recommended QC Strains

## B Comparison Studies:
1. Method Comparison with Predicate Device:
Results obtained with Liofilchem MIC Test Strip (MTS) with Omadacycline were compared to results obtained from frozen reference MIC panels for susceptibility testing of fastidious Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms. Reference panels were prepared with Muller Hinton broth (cation-adjusted) plus 5% lysed horse blood and tested as outlined in CLSI recommendations in M7-A11.
Isolated colonies from an overnight blood agar plate were suspended in saline to achieve a 0.5 McFarland standard turbidity (approximately 10⁸ CFU/mL). Testing conditions consisted of incubation of the inoculated Mueller Hinton agar plus 5% sheep blood plates in an inverted position at 35°C ±2°C for 20-24 hours in 5% CO₂. At the end of incubation, the MIC value where the edge of the inhibition ellipse intersects the strip was compared to MIC results obtained with the CLSI reference broth microdilution method.
### Clinical:
Clinical testing was performed at three U.S. sites with both MTS Omadacycline and the reference method using a total of 336 fastidious Gram-positive and Gram-negative clinical isolates including 120 Haemophilus spp. (96 H. influenzae and 24 H. parainfluenzae), 36 Streptococcus anginosus group species (25 S. anginosus and 11 S. constellatus), 150 Streptococcus pneumoniae, and 30 Streptococcus pyogenes. There were 211 (64.4%) isolates which were tested within 6 months of isolation (contemporary isolates).
### Challenge:
Challenge testing was performed at one internal site. A total of 67 challenge isolates were tested which included 5 isolates of S. pyogenes, 31 isolates of S. pneumoniae, 9 isolates of S. anginosus group species (2 S. anginosus, 7 S. constellatus,) and 22 isolates of Haemophilus spp. (16 H. influenzae, and 6 H. parainfluenzae) isolates.
Results for clinical and challenge isolates with representative species from each organism group are shown in Table 3 below based on the breakpoint/disease indication (CABP or ABSSSI) for each organism or organism group.

Testing of isolates belonging to the S. anginosus group included 27 isolates of S. anginosus and 18 isolates of S. constellatus. S. intermedius isolates were not tested in the clinical and challenge studies. This was addressed by the addition of the following footnote under the performance characteristics for fastidious organisms in the labeling:
Omadacyline should be tested with Streptococcoccus anginosus and Streptococcus constellatus isolates only. The performance of Streptococcus intermedius has not been established during the clinical study.
## Testing/Reporting MIC for Non-indicated Species:
For this review, the interpretative criteria are applied to the organisms/organism groups according to the FDA STIC website. As required under 511A(2)(2)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the following statements are added in the package insert:
Per the FDA-Recognized Susceptibility Test Interpretive Criteria website, the safety and efficacy of antimicrobial drugs for which antimicrobial susceptibility is tested by this AST device, may or may not have been established in adequate and well-controlled clinical trials for treating clinical infections due to microorganisms outside of those found in the indications and usage in the drug label. The clinical significance of susceptibility information in those instances is unknown. The approved labelling for specific antimicrobial drugs provides the uses for which the antimicrobial drug is approved.
## Number of Resistant Isolates Tested:
A total of 8 resistant isolates were tested in the combined challenge and clinical study with Omadacycline out of 403 fastidious organisms tested (~2%). To address the insufficient number of resistant strains encountered during the clinical evaluation, the sponsor added the following limitation in the labeling:
The ability of the MTS to detect resistant isolates with the following drug/bacterial species combination is unknown because resistant isolates were either not available or an insufficient number was encountered at the time of comparative testing. Omadacyline: H. influenzae, H. parainfluenza, S. anginosus, S. constellatus and S. pyogenes.
## Resistance Mechanism Characterization:
Challenge isolates harboring the resistance mechanisms against which Omadacycline has been shown to be active were not tested. The sponsor added the following limitation to the device labeling:
Resistance mechanism characterization was not available for all organisms at the time of comparative testing, and therefore the performance of the MTS Omadacycline for fastidious Gram-negative bacilli and Gram-positive cocci is unknown for the following: S. pneumoniae [tet(K), tet (L), tet (M)]; S. pyogenes [tet(K), tet(L), tet(M)]; S. anginosus [tet(K), tet (L), tet (M)]; S. constellatus [tet(K), tet(L), tet(M)]; H. influenzae [tet(B); H. parainfluenzae [tet(B)].

# MIC Trending Analysis
Using the combined clinical and challenge data, an analysis of trending was conducted for all claimed organisms and for organism groups. Results are stratified by species to determine if species-related trends were observed (Table 4). This trending calculation considers MIC values that are determined to be one or more doubling dilutions lower or higher compared to the reference method irrespective of whether the device MIC values are on-scale or not. Results that are not clearly at least one dilution lower, at least one dilution higher or in exact agreement with the CLSI reference method are not considered in the trending analysis.
Species for which the difference between the percentage of isolates with higher vs. lower readings was $\geq 30\%$ and for which the confidence interval was determined to be statistically significant were considered to show evidence of trending. Trending that provides higher or lower MIC values compared to the reference is addressed in labeling.
No significant trending was observed for *Haemophilus spp* (*H. influenzae*, *H. parainfluenzae*), however, a trend toward higher MIC reading was observed for *S. pneumoniae*, *S. anginosus* group (*S. anginosus* and *S. constellatus*), and *S. pyogenes* with MTS Omadacycline when compared to the reference method (Table 4).
Table 4. Trending for MTS Omadacycline with Fastidious¹ Gram-Negative and Gram-Positive Organisms
| Organism | Total Evaluable for Trending | ≥ 1 Dilution lower No. (%) | Exact No. (%) | ≥ 1 Dilution Higher No. (%) | Percent Difference (CI)² | Trending Noted |

| H. parainfluenzae | 30 | 3 (10%) | 21 (70%) | 6 (20%) | 10.0% (-8.8%-28.5) | No |
| Haemophilus spp combined | 142 | 23 (16.2%) | 70 (49.3%) | 49 (34.5%) | 18.3% (8.2-7.9) | No |
| S. anginosus | 27 | 1 (3.7%) | 6 (22.2%) | 20 (74.1%) | 70.4% (46.6-83.5) | Yes |
| S. constellatus | 18 | 0 (0.0%) | 5 (27.8%) | 13 (72.2%) | 72.2% (43.2-87.5) | Yes |

| S. pyogenes | 35 | 1 (2.9%) | 10 (28.6%) | 24 (68.6%) | 65.7% (45.5-78.8) | Yes |
| S. pneumoniae | 181 | 2 (1.1%) | 27 (14.9%) | 152 (84.0%) | 82.9% (45.5-78.8) | Yes |
¹Non-fastidious organisms were previously cleared (k182922) for Omadacycline at concentrations of 0.002-32 µg/mL on the Liofilchem MIC Test Strip (MTS).
²A percent difference $\geq 30\%$ is considered significant trending; a positive percentage difference value in trending analysis indicates higher MIC observed with the device and could cause potential major discrepancies. A negative percentage difference value in trending analysis indicates lower MIC observed with the device and could cause potential very major discrepancies.
To address the observed high trend, the following footnote has been added to the labeling in the performance characteristics section:

To support the implementation of changes to FDA-recognized susceptibility test interpretive criteria (i.e., breakpoints), this submission included a breakpoint change protocol that was reviewed and accepted by the FDA. This protocol addresses future revisions to device labeling in response to breakpoint changes that are recognized on the FDA STIC webpage (https://www.fda.gov/drugs/development-resources/antibacterial-susceptibility-test-interpretive-criteria). The protocol outlined the specific procedures and acceptance criteria that Liofilchem intends to use to evaluate the Liofilchem MIC test strip (MTS) when revised breakpoints for Omadacycline are published on the FDA STIC webpage. The breakpoint change protocol included with the submission indicated that if specific criteria are met, Liofilchem will update the Omadacycline device label to include (1) the new breakpoint, (2) an updated performance section after re-evaluation of data in this premarket notification with the new breakpoints, and (3) any new limitations as determined by their evaluation.

1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
