What It Is

The Sensititre Haemophilus Streptococcus Pneumoniae HP MIC Plate is a diagnostic tool designed to assess the susceptibility of Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae to various antibiotics. It works by exposing bacterial isolates to a range of antibiotic concentrations and determining the minimum concentration that inhibits bacterial growth. This information is crucial for selecting effective antibiotic treatments and combating antibiotic resistance.

FDA-Cleared Indications

  • For in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Haemophilus influenzae isolates.
  • For in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates.
  • For determining MIC values for the antimicrobial agents included on the plate.

Clinical Applications

  • Testing Haemophilus influenzae isolates recovered from clinical specimens.
  • Testing Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates recovered from clinical specimens.
  • Determining antibiotic MIC values in a clinical microbiology laboratory.
  • Supporting selection of antimicrobial therapy when interpreted with the patient’s clinical findings and applicable laboratory standards.

Practical Considerations

  • The plate is intended for trained laboratory personnel and must be used with the applicable inoculation, incubation, reading and interpretation procedures.
  • Results depend on a viable, correctly identified bacterial isolate and appropriate preparation of the test inoculum.
  • Only antibiotics and concentration ranges included on the specific plate should be reported according to the device labeling and current laboratory standards.
  • Plates require appropriate storage, handling and quality control; expired, damaged or improperly stored plates may produce unreliable results.
  • This is an in vitro diagnostic device, not an implant or therapeutic device. It is not evaluated for MRI safety and has no patient-contact use.
