FDA Clearance Information

Pathway 510K
Decision Date July 3, 1986
Product Code JSH
Device Class Class 1
Evidence 419 studies

The biotis haemophilus identification quad was cleared through the FDA 510k pathway on July 3, 1986. Manufactured by Otisville Biotech, it is classified as a Class 1 device under product code JSH.

What It Is

The biotis haemophilus identification quad is a laboratory diagnostic device designed to identify various species of the Haemophilus genus. It works by utilizing specific biochemical reactions that are characteristic of these bacteria. This device aids in the rapid and accurate identification of Haemophilus species, which is crucial for diagnosing infections and guiding appropriate treatment.

Clinical Applications

This device is commonly used in microbiology laboratories within hospitals and clinics to identify Haemophilus infections, which can cause conditions like respiratory tract infections and meningitis. It is particularly useful in settings where rapid identification is critical for patient management, such as in pediatric and infectious disease specialties. The device is used on patient samples, such as sputum or blood cultures, to confirm the presence of Haemophilus species.

Indications for Use

The FDA indications suggest that this device is intended for identifying Haemophilus species in clinical specimens. It is used for patients suspected of having infections caused by these bacteria, enabling targeted antimicrobial therapy.

Practical Considerations

The biotis haemophilus identification quad is typically compatible with standard laboratory equipment and requires minimal training for use. It is important to follow proper specimen collection and handling procedures to ensure accurate results. The device is designed for ease of use, making it suitable for high-throughput laboratory environments.
