Summary: The Sensititre Haemophilus Streptococcus Pneumoniae HP MIC Plate is a diagnostic tool used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics against Haemophilus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. It is primarily used by microbiologists and infectious disease specialists in clinical laboratories.

FDA Clearance Information

Pathway 510K
Decision Date November 9, 2006
Product Code JWY
Device Class Class 2
Evidence 419 studies

The device was cleared through the FDA 510(k) pathway on November 9, 2006. Manufactured by Trek Diagnostic Systems, it is classified as a Class 2 device under product code JWY.

What It Is

The Sensititre Haemophilus Streptococcus Pneumoniae HP MIC Plate is a specialized diagnostic plate used to assess the susceptibility of Haemophilus and Streptococcus pneumoniae to various antibiotics. It works by exposing the bacteria to different concentrations of antibiotics and determining the minimum concentration that inhibits bacterial growth. This is crucial for guiding effective antibiotic therapy.

Clinical Applications

This device is commonly used in clinical microbiology laboratories to perform antibiotic susceptibility testing. It is particularly useful in settings where rapid and accurate determination of antibiotic resistance is essential, such as in hospitals dealing with severe respiratory infections. Infectious disease specialists rely on these results to tailor antibiotic regimens for patients with infections caused by Haemophilus and Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Indications for Use

The FDA-cleared indications allow this device to be used for determining the antibiotic susceptibility of Haemophilus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. This is essential for treating infections caused by these bacteria, ensuring that patients receive the most effective antibiotic therapy.

Practical Considerations

The plates are typically compatible with standard laboratory equipment used for MIC testing. Users should ensure proper storage conditions and handle the plates with care to avoid contamination. The results should be interpreted by qualified personnel to ensure accurate clinical decision-making.
