The Sensititre HP MIC Plates were cleared through the FDA 510(k) pathway on April 26, 2004. Manufactured by Trek Diagnostic Systems, this device is classified as Class 2 under product code JWY.
What It Is
The Sensititre Haemophilus Streptococcus Pneumoniae HP MIC Plates are diagnostic tools used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics against Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae. These plates contain predefined concentrations of antibiotics, allowing laboratories to assess the susceptibility of bacterial strains to various antimicrobial agents. This information is crucial for tailoring antibiotic therapy to individual patient needs.
Clinical Applications
These MIC plates are commonly used in clinical microbiology laboratories to perform susceptibility testing. They are essential in settings where rapid and accurate determination of antibiotic resistance is needed, such as hospitals and research institutions. The primary users are clinical microbiologists and infectious disease specialists who rely on these results to guide treatment decisions for patients with respiratory infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Indications for Use
The FDA indications for these plates include testing the susceptibility of Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae to various antibiotics. This is particularly important for patients with respiratory infections to ensure effective treatment and to combat antibiotic resistance.
Practical Considerations
These plates are typically compatible with standard laboratory equipment used for microbial culture and sensitivity testing. Proper technique in inoculating and interpreting the plates is crucial for accurate results. Users should ensure that the plates are stored and handled according to the manufacturer's guidelines to maintain their efficacy.
