Device Story
Thermo Scientific Oxoid Omadacycline Disc (30 ug) OMC30 is an antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) disc used in clinical microbiology laboratories. The device consists of a paper disc impregnated with a specific concentration of the antibiotic omadacycline. It is used for the semi-quantitative determination of bacterial susceptibility to omadacycline via the disk diffusion method. Laboratory professionals place the disc onto agar plates inoculated with bacterial isolates. Following incubation, the diameter of the zone of inhibition around the disc is measured. This measurement is compared against established interpretive criteria to categorize the organism as susceptible, intermediate, or resistant. The resulting data assists clinicians in selecting appropriate antibiotic therapy for patients with bacterial infections.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. The device is an in vitro diagnostic product for antimicrobial susceptibility testing; substantial equivalence is typically established through bench testing comparing the performance of the subject disc to standardized reference methods or predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Antimicrobial susceptibility test disc; 30 ug omadacycline concentration; paper disc substrate; intended for use in disk diffusion (Kirby-Bauer) susceptibility testing; Class II device (21 CFR 866.1620).
Indications for Use
Indicated for in vitro susceptibility testing of Omadacycline against specific bacteria causing ABSSSI (E. cloacae, K. pneumoniae, S. aureus, E. faecalis, S. anginosus, S. pyogenes) and CABP (K. pneumoniae, S. aureus, Haemophilus spp., S. pneumoniae).
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An antimicrobial susceptibility test disc is a device that consists of antimicrobic-impregnated paper discs used to measure by a disc-agar diffusion technique or a disc-broth elution technique the in vitro susceptibility of most clinically important bacterial pathogens to antimicrobial agents. In the disc-agar diffusion technique, bacterial susceptibility is ascertained by directly measuring the magnitude of a zone of bacterial inhibition around the disc on an agar surface. The disc-broth elution technique is associated with an automated rapid susceptibility test system and employs a fluid medium in which susceptibility is ascertained by photometrically measuring changes in bacterial growth resulting when antimicrobial material is eluted from the disc into the fluid medium. Test results are used to determine the antimicrobial agent of choice in the treatment of bacterial diseases.

- Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-susceptible isolates only)
- Haemophilus species (Haemophilus influenzae, Haemophilus parainfluenzae)
- Streptococcus pneumoniae
## C Special Conditions for Use Statement(s):
Rx - For Prescription Use Only
**Limitations:**
- The ability of the Thermo Scientific Oxoid Omadacycline Disc (30 µg) to detect resistance for Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI) in Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-resistant isolates), Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus anginosus group (S. anginosus only), and for Community Acquired Bacterial Pneumoniae (CABP), in Streptococcus pneumoniae is unknown because resistant strains were not available at the time of comparative testing. If such a strain is observed, it should be submitted to a reference laboratory for further testing.
- While the categorical agreement for Thermo Scientific Oxoid Omadacycline Disc 30 µg (OMC 30) compared to FDA cleared disc device analysis was ≥ 90% for Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA and MRSA), Enterococcus faecalis, and Streptococcus pyogenes, categorical agreement for Thermo Scientific Oxoid Omadacycline Disc 30 µg (OMC 30) compared to historical broth microdilution MIC values was below 90%, caused by the
{2}
occurrence of false susceptible results and minor errors. If critical to patient care, testing should be performed using an alternate method, for the following antibiotic/organism combination(s) for ABSSSI: Omadacycline/S.aureus (MSSA and MRSA) which provides a zone of inhibition ≥ 19mm, Omadacycline/Enterococcus faecalis which provide a disc zone of inhibition of ≥ 17 mm, and for Omadacycline/Streptococcus pyogenes which provide a disc zone of inhibition ≥ 22 mm.
- While the categorical agreement for Thermo Scientific Oxoid Omadacycline Disc 30 µg (OMC 30) compared to FDA cleared disc device analysis was ≥ 90% for Haemophilus species, categorical agreement for Thermo Scientific Oxoid Omadacycline Disc 30 µg (OMC 30) compared to historical Broth Microdilution MIC values was below 90%, caused by the occurrence of minor errors. If critical to patient care, results should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory information for the following antibiotic/organism combination(s) for CABP: Omadacycline/Haemophilus species which provide a zone of inhibition 17-19mm.
- Due to categorical agreement below 90% with the Thermo Scientific Oxoid Omadacycline Disc 30 µg (OMC 30) when compared to both the FDA cleared comparator Disc and the historical Broth Microdilution MIC values cause by the occurrence of false susceptible results and minor errors, if critical to patient care, testing should be performed using an alternate method for the following antibiotic/organism combination(s) for CABP: Omadacycline/MSSA.

VII Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
A Analytical Performance:
1. Precision/Reproducibility:
Reproducibility was conducted at one external site using 15 organisms, tested in triplicate with two disc lots on three separate days using one lot of media (MHA, MHA + 5% SB, or HTM media). Each test was visually read by three independent readers with results blinded, resulting in 270 data points for evaluation (15 organisms x 2 disc lots x 1 media x 3 days x 3 independent readers = 270 data point). Colony counts was performed on all isolates.
The reproducibility study included the following species, indicated on the FDA-approved drug label: 1 isolate of Staphylococcus lugdunensis, 3 isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae, 1 isolate of Enterobacter cloacae species complex, 1 isolate of Streptococcus anginosus group, 1 isolate of Klebsiella pneumoniae, 3 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, 2 isolates of Enterococcus faecalis and 1 isolate of Haemophilus influenzae, 1 Streptococcus pyogenes and 1 isolate of Enterobacter cloacae.
Reproducibility was calculated as the percent of results which were within ±3 mm difference in zone diameter comparing test results with the modal zone diameter value. Three isolates were >3mm above test mode with Thermo Scientific Oxoid Disc lot#1 and Disc lot#2. Results are shown in Table 1 below.

## For Community Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (CABP):
- The performance of the Thermo Scientific Oxoid Omadacycline disc as compared to the FDA cleared comparator disc (for Klebsiella pneumoniae only) performance is acceptable with 91.4% CA (Table 3B). There were three minor errors and no major or very major discrepancies.
- The performance of the Thermo Scientific Oxoid Omadacycline disc as compared to the FDA cleared comparator disc for Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA isolates only) has a low CA of 88.9% due to five minor errors (Table 3B). There were no major or very major discrepancies. Refer to limitation below under secondary analysis.
- The performance of the Thermo Scientific Oxoid Omadacycline disc as compared to the FDA cleared comparator disc for Haemophilus species is acceptable with 93.5% CA (Table 3B). There were seven minor errors and no major or very major discrepancies.
- The performance of the Thermo Scientific Oxoid Omadacycline disc as compared to the FDA cleared comparator disc for Streptococcus pneumoniae performance is acceptable with 97.1% CA (Table 3B). There were two minor errors and no major or very major discrepancies.
As required under 511A(b)(2)(C)(ii)(I) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the following statement is included as a footnote to the performance table in the device labeling to address testing of non-indicated species:
"Per the FDA-Recognized Susceptibility Test Interpretive Criteria website, the safety and efficacy of antimicrobial drugs, for which antimicrobial susceptibility is tested by this
K210873 - Page 10 of 15
{10}
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 labeling for specific antimicrobial drugs provides the uses for which the antimicrobial drug is approved".
## Resistance Isolates:
A total of 398 clinical and challenge isolates were tested. However, no resistant isolates were available for testing for some organisms. To address the lack of resistant strains encountered during the clinical evaluation, the following limitation was added in the device labeling:
"The ability of the Thermo Scientific Oxoid Omadacycline Disc (30 µg) to detect resistance for Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI) in Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-resistant isolates), Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus anginosus group (S. anginosus only), and for Community Acquired Bacterial Pneumoniae (CABP), in Streptococcus pneumoniae is unknown because resistant strains were not available at the time of comparative testing. If such a strain is observed, it should be submitted to a reference laboratory for further testing".
## Resistance Mechanisms in Challenge Isolates:
Challenge isolates harboring the resistance mechanisms against which Omadacycline has been shown to be active were not tested. This was addressed in the device labeling by adding the following footnote:
"The performance of the Thermo Scientific Oxoid Omadacycline (30 µg) disc was not evaluated with challenge isolates harboring resistance mechanisms listed in the FDA drug label".
## Secondary Analysis:
A secondary analysis of the results obtained with the 392 clinical and challenge isolates was also performed. The analysis was conducted to assess the qualitative categorical agreement (CA) of the Oxoid Omadacycline disc diffusion results compared to the reference broth microdilution (BMD) results (based on historical data from BMD testing performed at the initial recovery of isolates during the drug clinical trial).
Analysis of the Oxoid disc when tested against the MIC value for each isolate showed a high number of categorical errors. It was determined that isolates showing very high major errors (VMJ) and minor errors should be retested as it was hypothesized that the MIC for these historical isolates was likely to have changed since they were first tested.
An additional study was performed which consisted of triplicate testing of the BMD method in addition of a control set representing ~25% of isolates with concordant results (percentage calculated based on the total number of concordant results). The categorical interpretations of
K210873 - Page 11 of 15
{11}
the disc diffusion value and mode MIC values were used to determine the categorical agreement.
The results of the Oxoid Omadacycline Disc versus MICs including retests of isolates showing very major and minor discrepancies are summarized below based on the breakpoint/disease indication (CABP or ABSSSI) for each organism or organism group.
For Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI):
- The analysis of the Oxoid disc data when compared to the reference BMD method for Enterobacterales (Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter cloacae only) is acceptable with 92.3% CA. There were no major errors. There were three minor and one very major discrepancies (1/12 = 8.3%). This VMJ error rate was considered acceptable as this was due to single Enterobacter cloacae isolate and the %CA met the FDA acceptance criteria of >90%.
- The analysis of the Oxoid disc data when compared to the reference BMD method for Streptococcus anginosus is acceptable with 100% CA. There were no minor, major, or very major discrepancies.
- The analysis of the Oxoid disc data when compared to the reference BMD method for Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA and MRSA) had a low CA of 82.9% due to the high number of minor errors (9) and three very major errors (3/5 60%). There were no major errors. Refer to limitation below.
- The analysis of the Oxoid disc data when compared to the reference BMD method for E. faecalis had a low CA of 75% due to six minor and one very major discrepancies (1/2 50%). There were no major errors. Refer to limitation below.
- The analysis of the Oxoid disc data when compared to the reference BMD method for Streptococcus pyogenes had a low CA of 88.3% due to six minor and one very major discrepancies (1/1 100%). There were no major errors. Refer to limitation below.
To address the low CA due to categorical errors (i.e., minor errors, very major errors) obtained with Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA and MRSA), Enterococcus faecalis and Streptococcus pyogenes, the following limitation was added to the device labeling:
"While the categorical agreement for Thermo Scientific Oxoid Omadacycline Disc 30 µg (OMC 30) compared to FDA cleared disc device analysis was ≥ 90% for Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA and MRSA), Enterococcus faecalis, and Streptococcus pyogenes, categorical agreement for Thermo Scientific Oxoid Omadacycline Disc 30 µg (OMC 30) compared to historical broth microdilution MIC values was below 90%, caused by the occurrence of false susceptible results and minor errors. If critical to patient care, testing should be performed using an alternate method, for the following antibiotic/organism combination(s) for ABSSSI: Omadacycline/S.aureus (MSSA and MRSA) which provides a zone of inhibition ≥ 19mm, Omadacycline/Enterococcus faecalis which
K210873 - Page 12 of 15
{12}
provide a disc zone of inhibition of ≥ 17 mm, and for
Omadacycline/Streptococcus pyogenes which provide a disc zone of inhibition ≥ 22 mm".
For Community Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (CABP):
- The analysis of the Oxoid disc data when compared to the reference BMD method for Klebsiella pneumoniae is acceptable with 91.43% CA. There were three minor errors and no major or very major discrepancies.
- The analysis of the Oxoid disc data when compared to the reference BMD method for Streptococcus pneumoniae is acceptable with 97.10% CA. There were two minor errors and no major or very major discrepancies.
- The analysis of the Oxoid disc data when compared to the reference BMD method for Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-susceptible isolates only) had a low CA of 84.4% due to six minor and one very major error. There were no major errors. The following limitation was added to the device labeling:
"Due to categorical agreement below 90% with the Thermo Scientific Oxoid Omadacycline Disc 30 µg (OMC 30) when compared to both the FDA cleared comparator Disc and the historical Broth Microdilution MIC values cause by the occurrence of false susceptible results and minor errors, if critical to patient care, testing should be performed using an alternate method for the following antibiotic/organism combination(s) for CABP: Omadacycline/MSSA".
- The analysis of the Oxoid disc data when compared to the reference BMD method for Haemophilus spp had a low CA of 80.6% mainly due to 18 minor errors. There were no major or very major discrepancies. The following limitation was added to the device labeling:
"While the categorical agreement for Thermo Scientific Oxoid Omadacycline Disc 30 µg (OMC 30) compared to FDA cleared disc device analysis was ≥ 90% for Haemophilus species, categorical agreement for Thermo Scientific Oxoid Omadacycline Disc 30 µg (OMC 30) compared to historical Broth Microdilution MIC values was below 90%, caused by the occurrence of minor errors. If critical to patient care, results should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory information for the following antibiotic/organism combination(s) for CABP: Omadacycline/Haemophilus species which provide a zone of inhibition 17-19mm".

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
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.
