sensititre haemophilus streptococcus pneumoniae hp mic plate

Trek Diagnostic Systems

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 clinicians in laboratory settings to guide antibiotic therapy.

FDA Clearance Information

Pathway 510K
Decision Date February 19, 2002
Product Code JWY
Device Class Class 2
Evidence 419 studies

The device was cleared through the FDA 510(k) pathway on February 19, 2002, 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 diagnostic tool designed to assess the susceptibility of Haemophilus and Streptococcus pneumoniae to various antibiotics. It works by exposing bacterial isolates to different concentrations of antibiotics on a microtiter plate, allowing clinicians to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) needed to inhibit bacterial growth. This information is crucial for selecting effective antibiotic treatment regimens.

Clinical Applications

This device is commonly used in clinical microbiology laboratories to guide antibiotic therapy for infections caused by Haemophilus and Streptococcus pneumoniae, such as respiratory tract infections, meningitis, and otitis media. It is particularly useful in hospital settings where accurate and timely antibiotic susceptibility testing is critical for patient management. Infectious disease specialists and clinical microbiologists are the primary users of this device.

Indications for Use

The FDA indications for this device involve testing the susceptibility of Haemophilus and Streptococcus pneumoniae to antibiotics. It is used for patients suspected of having infections caused by these bacteria, helping clinicians choose the most effective antibiotic treatment.

Practical Considerations

The Sensititre MIC Plate is designed for use with standard laboratory equipment and requires trained personnel to interpret the results accurately. It is compatible with a range of antibiotics, and its use is integrated into routine laboratory workflows for susceptibility testing. Proper handling and storage of the plates are essential to ensure accurate results.
