To determine gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial susceptibility against the antimicrobial agent Trovafloxacin. Organisms with indications for testing* include: Gram-Negative Bacteria Escherichia coli Klebsiella pneumoniae Proteus mirabilis Pseudomonas aeruginosa Gram-Positive Bacteria Methicillin susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Methicillin susceptible Staphylococcus epidermidis Enterococcus faecalis Streptococcus agalactiae (Gp.B) Streptococcus pyogenes (Gp.A) * As taken from the Indications and Usage section of the manufacturer's package insert (Issued: December 1997). The MicroScan® Dried Gram-Negative and Gram-Positive MIC/Combo Panels with Trovafloxacin are not intended for use with Streptococcus pneumoniae and viridans streptococci.
Device Story
MicroScan® Dried MIC/Combo Panels contain dehydrated Trovafloxacin in Mueller-Hinton broth; used in clinical laboratories to determine minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for bacterial isolates. Samples are inoculated/rehydrated with bacterial suspensions; incubated 16-20 hours at 35°C. MIC determined by comparing growth in antibiotic wells against control wells; read visually or via automated instruments (autoScan-48, WalkAway). Results assist clinicians in selecting appropriate antibiotic therapy for infections including pneumonia, bronchitis, sinusitis, and skin/internal infections. Benefits include standardized susceptibility testing to guide treatment decisions for pathogens resistant to other antibiotic classes.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical trial evaluated performance using fresh/stock clinical isolates and CDC challenge strains. Gram-negative panel (n=not specified) showed 99.7% Essential Agreement (EA) vs. NCCLS frozen reference. Gram-positive panel (n=not specified) showed 98.7% EA. Reproducibility testing confirmed precision across inoculum methods (Turbidity, Prompt) and instruments (autoScan-48, WalkAway). Discrepancies (≥2 dilution errors) were resolved via triplicate repeat testing. Quality control performed daily.

# Section 1. SUMMARY OF CLINICAL STUDIES
#### Purpose/Scope
The purpose of the clinical studies was to demonstrate that MicroScan® Dried Gram-Negative and Gram-Positive MIC/Combo panels with Trovafloxacin (Test panels) are substantially equivalent to frozen NCCLS reference panels (Reference panels). Device performance was evaluated in a clinical trial that included gram-negative and grampositive isolates. The study is summarized in this Premarket Notification. The clinical trial panels also included 2 other gram-negative antibiotics and 3 other gram-positive antibiotics. Only the Trovafloxacin data are included in this Premarket Notification submission.
#### Trovafloxacin - Indications & Usage, Microbiology, and Mechanisms of Resistance
In general, Trovafloxacin is a new fluoronaphthyridone related to the fluoroquinolones. The bactericidal action of Trovafloxacin results from inhibition of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. DNA gyrase is an essential enzyme that is involved in the replication, transcription and repair of bacterial DNA. Topoisomerase IV is an enzyme known to play a key role in the partitioning of the chromosomal DNA during bacterial cell division. The mechanism of action of fluoroquinolones including Trovafloxacin is different from that of penicillins, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, macrolides, and tetracyclines. Therefore, fluoroquinolones may be active against pathogens that are resistant to these antibiotics. Resistance to Trovafloxacin in vitro develops slowly via multiple-step mutation in a manner similar to other fluoroguinolones. Although cross-resistance has been observed between Trovatloxacin and some other fluoroquinolones, some microorganisms resistant to other fluoroquinolones may be susceptible to Trovafloxacin. 1
Trovafloxacin is indicated for treatment of pneumonia, bronchitis, acute sinusitis, various internal and skin infections, prostatitis, urethral gonorrhea, cervicitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease, when caused by susceptible strains.

#### Clinical Investigations
A copy of the Clinical Trial protocol is provided in Section 2.:Clinical Trial Protocol. The Clinical Trial protocol called for an Efficacy phase (stock and fresh isolates), a CDC Challenge (CDC challenge strains), and Reproducibility (inoculum and instrument). The Reproducibility isolates are provided in Section 2 .: Inoculum and Instrument Reproducibility Amendment. Throughout each phase Quality Control isolates were also tested. Performance was evaluated by comparing both proposed devices (gramnegative and gram-positive) with frozen NCCLS reference panels and clinical isolates with a broad range of susceptibilities for the 3 gram-negative antibiotics and 4 gram-positive antibiotics on the clinical trial panel. The type and number of isolates tested was in compliance with the FDA guidance "Review Criteria for Assessment of Antimicrobial Susceptibility Devices: Draft May 1991".
After completion of the gram-negative clinical trial, a decision was made to map the dilution range from 0.002 - 8 mcg/ml to 0.03 - 8 mcg/ml due to variable performance with the low end dilutions. Similarly, a decision was made to map several gram-positive dilutions due to variable performance; the 0.002 - 8 mcg/ml range was mapped up to 0.06 - 8 mcg/ml.

{3}------------------------------------------------
The clinical study was conducted between June and September 1998. A description of each clinical site and their role in the testing is presented in the clinical trial protocol, Section 2.
The MicroScan® Dried Gram-Negative and Gram-Positive Panels (Test panels) contained doubling dilutions of Trovafloxacin from 0.002 to 8 mcg/ml. Data are presented on the gram-negative panel for the 9 dilutions (i.e., 0.03 - 8 mcg/ml), and on the gram-positive panel for the 8 dilutions (i.e., 0.06 - 8 mcg/ml) for which approval is requested.
The manufacturing process for both Test panels called for Trovafloxacin dehydrated in Mueller-Hinton broth. During testing each well was inoculated/rehydrated with the organisms suspended in distilled water with Pluronic * Test panels were read visually after 16-20 hours of incubation at 35° C in a non-CO2 incubator.
Reference panels were made according to NCCLS recommendations found in NCCLS Document M7-A4 (Methods for Dilution Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria that Grow Aerobically, fourth edition; Approved Standard. Pennsylvania, NCCLS, 1997), using cation adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth. The Reference panels were read visually after 16-20 hours of incubation at 35° C in a non-CO2 incubator (see Section 2.: Clinical Trial Protocol, for the specific read times).
Each MIC was determined by comparing growth results in antibiotic wells with the growth patterns expressed in the 2 control wells (identified as the "Growth well" and the "Control well"). Initial data analysis was performed by comparing the initial Test MIC results with the initial Reference MIC results. As indicated in the Clinical Trial protocol, isolates that exhibited a ≥ 2 dilution error (discrepancy) between the Test and the Reference panel were repeated in triplicate. Final data analysis was performed by comparing the initial Test results to the repeat Reference results. Discrepancies were considered resolved when the repeat Reference result was in Essential Agreement with the initial Test result. An additional data analysis was also performed using repeat results from both the Reference and the Test panels. The Initial, Final, and Additional Data Analyses summaries are presented separately and are identified accordingly.
Both Clinical Trials consisted of 3 different test phases; Efficacy, CDC Challenge, and Reproducibility. Quality Control was performed daily. Data from the Efficacy and CDC Challenge phases were evaluated using the same Error and Agreement definitions.

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.
