sensititre haemophilus streptococcus pneumoniae hp mic plate

Trek Diagnostic Systems

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

FDA Clearance Information

Pathway 510K
Decision Date September 12, 2001
Product Code JWY
Device Class Class 2
Evidence 419 studies

The Sensititre Haemophilus Streptococcus Pneumoniae HP MIC Plate was cleared through the FDA 510(k) pathway on September 12, 2001. 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 an in vitro diagnostic device designed to assess the susceptibility of Haemophilus and Streptococcus pneumoniae strains to various antibiotics. It works by exposing bacteria to different concentrations of antibiotics on a microdilution plate, allowing clinicians to determine the MIC, which is crucial for guiding effective antibiotic therapy. This device aids in optimizing treatment regimens and combating antibiotic resistance.

Clinical Applications

This device is commonly used in clinical microbiology laboratories to perform antibiotic susceptibility testing. It is particularly valuable in hospitals and research institutions where rapid and accurate determination of bacterial resistance patterns is essential. Infectious disease specialists and clinical microbiologists use this tool to tailor antibiotic therapy for patients with infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae, which are common pathogens in respiratory infections.

Indications for Use

The FDA indications for this device involve its use in determining the antibiotic susceptibility of Haemophilus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. This means it is used to identify the most effective antibiotics for treating infections caused by these bacteria, helping to ensure appropriate and effective patient care.

Practical Considerations

When using the Sensititre MIC Plate, it's important to follow standard laboratory protocols for inoculating and incubating the plates. Compatibility with specific laboratory equipment should be verified, and results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical guidelines. The plates are typically available in standardized sizes to fit common laboratory setups.
