Summary: The hp-haemophilus pneumococcus mic plate is a diagnostic tool used for susceptibility testing of bacterial strains. It is primarily used in clinical microbiology to guide antibiotic therapy. Key evidence highlights its role in determining resistance patterns in pathogens like Streptococcus pneumoniae.

FDA Clearance Information

Pathway 510K
Decision Date February 18, 1992
Product Code JWY
Device Class Class 2
Evidence 419 studies

The hp-haemophilus pneumococcus mic plate was cleared by the FDA via the 510(k) pathway on February 18, 1992. It is manufactured by Sensititre Microbiology A Div. Of Radiometer and classified as a Class 2 device.

What It Is

The hp-haemophilus pneumococcus mic plate is a diagnostic device designed for the susceptibility testing of bacterial pathogens. It is used in clinical laboratories to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics against specific bacteria, aiding in the selection of appropriate antimicrobial therapy.

Clinical Applications

This device is commonly used in clinical settings for the diagnosis and management of infections caused by Haemophilus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. It helps clinicians identify effective antibiotics for treatment, particularly in cases of suspected or confirmed bacterial resistance.

Evidence Summary

The available literature includes 10 studies, comprising randomized controlled trials, prospective and retrospective analyses, and other study types. These studies span from recent years, with the latest published in 2024, focusing on the device's efficacy in susceptibility testing.

Reported Outcomes

Published studies report that the hp-haemophilus pneumococcus mic plate effectively determines antibiotic susceptibility, with high agreement rates in comparison to other methods like agar disk diffusion. For example, a study highlighted an 80.7% agreement rate for broth microdilution. The device is instrumental in identifying resistance patterns in pathogens such as Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Safety Profile

Reported complications include discrepancies in susceptibility testing results, which can impact clinical decision-making. However, no direct adverse events related to the device's use have been documented in the provided evidence.

Evidence Limitations

The evidence is limited by the variability in study designs and the lack of large-scale, multicenter trials. Further research is needed to validate the device's efficacy across diverse clinical settings and to explore its performance in detecting emerging resistance patterns.
