The haemophilus pneumococcus mic plate was cleared through the FDA 510(k) pathway on October 7, 1995. It is manufactured by Radiometer America and classified as a Class 2 device.
What It Is
The haemophilus pneumococcus mic plate is a diagnostic device used to assess bacterial resistance, particularly for Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae. It aids clinicians in selecting appropriate antimicrobial therapy.
Clinical Applications
This device is commonly used in clinical microbiology laboratories to determine the susceptibility of bacterial pathogens to various antibiotics, guiding treatment decisions in respiratory infections.
Evidence Summary
The literature includes 10 studies, primarily focusing on antibiotic resistance in respiratory pathogens. These studies range from 1996 to 2004 and include various study designs such as RCTs and prospective analyses.
Reported Outcomes
Published studies report that the haemophilus pneumococcus mic plate effectively identifies resistance patterns in Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae. The device aids in comparing the efficacy of different antibiotics, including macrolides and fluoroquinolones.
Safety Profile
Reported complications include potential inaccuracies in resistance detection due to variations in bacterial strains. No direct adverse events related to the device use were noted in the studies.
Evidence Limitations
The evidence is limited by the age of the studies, with the most recent being from 2004. Further research is needed to validate the device's efficacy with current bacterial strains and resistance patterns.
