Device Class Class 2
Evidence 419 studies

The Sensititre 20-24 Hour System by Thermo Fisher Scientific was cleared through the FDA 510k pathway on October 1, 2024. It is classified as a Class 2 device.

What It Is

The Sensititre 20-24 Hour System is a susceptibility testing device designed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics, including ceftriaxone, for Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae. It aids clinicians in selecting appropriate antimicrobial therapy.

Clinical Applications

This device is commonly used in clinical microbiology laboratories to guide treatment decisions for infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae, particularly in cases of suspected antimicrobial resistance.

Evidence Summary

The available literature includes 11 studies, with a mix of RCTs, prospective, and retrospective studies, conducted between 2018 and 2025. These studies focus on antimicrobial resistance patterns and device performance.

Reported Outcomes

Published studies report that the Sensititre system provides accurate susceptibility results for various pathogens, with high concordance rates compared to reference methods. It has been effective in identifying resistance patterns in clinical isolates.

Safety Profile

Reported complications include potential discrepancies in MIC values when compared to other testing methods, though these are rare. No significant adverse events directly related to the device have been documented.

Evidence Limitations

Current evidence is limited by the variability in study designs and the focus on specific geographic regions. Further research is needed to validate findings across diverse clinical settings and populations.
