Indications for Use

LabPro Data Management System is a Microsoft® Windows based software program and is intended to manage both microbial identification (ID) and antimicrobial agent susceptibility testing (AST) data generated from Beckman Coulter instruments or manually entered microbiology test results, for use by trained laboratory personnel. LabPro AlertEx is a functional subset of the LabPro Data Management System that analyzes Beckman Coulter ID and AST data, or other pre-defined parameters, against a series of established rules/ alerts and notifies the user of unusual, and/or critical conditions, which may warrant further analysis or action. LabPro-MBT software is a functional subset of LPDMS intended to electronically transfer and display organism identifications from the Bruker MALDI Biotyper System to the LabPro Data Management System. LabPro-MBT software is a device that is intended to electronically transfer medical device data, without controlling or altering the functions or parameters of any connected medical devices.

Device Story

LabPro Data Management System (LPDMS) is a Windows-based software platform for clinical microbiology laboratories. It aggregates microbial identification (ID) and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) data from Beckman Coulter instruments, manual entry, or third-party systems. The system includes two functional modules: LabPro AlertEx, which applies rule-based logic to ID/AST data to flag unusual or critical results for clinician review; and LabPro-MBT, which facilitates the electronic transfer and display of organism identification data from Bruker MALDI BioTyper systems. The device does not control or alter connected instruments. It serves as a data management and decision-support tool, enabling laboratory staff to review flagged conditions and manage microbiology workflows. By centralizing data and automating alert notifications, the system assists in identifying critical findings that require clinical intervention, potentially improving laboratory efficiency and patient management.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data; bench testing only. Software verification and validation performed per 21 CFR 820.30 design controls to ensure safety and effectiveness equivalent to the predicate.

Technological Characteristics

Windows-based software application. Operates as a data management system for microbiology laboratories. Features rule-based alert engine (AlertEx) and data transfer interface (MBT). Connectivity includes integration with Beckman Coulter instruments and Bruker MALDI BioTyper systems. Software is classified as Moderate Level of Concern. Deployment is local/networked within a laboratory environment.

Indications for Use

Indicated for trained laboratory personnel to manage microbial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing data, monitor for unusual or critical conditions via rule-based alerts, and integrate organism identification data from external MALDI BioTyper systems.

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.”
