The Sensititre MIC System by Thermo Fisher Scientific was cleared via the FDA 510(k) pathway on January 8, 2020. It is classified as a Class 2 device under product code JWY.
What It Is
The Sensititre MIC System is a diagnostic tool designed to assess the susceptibility of Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae to various antibiotics, including lefamulin, within a dilution range of 0.008-16 µg/ml. This system aids clinicians in selecting appropriate antimicrobial therapy by providing precise MIC values. It operates by exposing bacterial isolates to serial dilutions of antibiotics and determining the lowest concentration that inhibits visible growth.
Clinical Applications
This device is commonly used in clinical microbiology laboratories to guide antibiotic therapy decisions. It is particularly useful in settings where rapid and accurate determination of bacterial susceptibility is critical, such as in hospitals treating patients with respiratory infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Infectious disease specialists and clinical pharmacists often rely on this information to tailor antibiotic regimens for individual patients.
Indications for Use
The FDA-cleared indications for this device include testing the susceptibility of Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae to antibiotics. It is intended for use in patients with infections caused by these bacteria, helping clinicians choose effective treatments.
Practical Considerations
The Sensititre MIC System requires careful handling and precise preparation of bacterial cultures and antibiotic dilutions. Compatibility with standard laboratory equipment is essential, and users should be trained in interpreting MIC results accurately. Regular calibration and maintenance of the system are recommended to ensure reliable performance.
