The BD Phoenix Automated Microbiology System - GN Imipenem-relebactam (0.0625/4 - 16/4 µg/mL) is an automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing system designed for short-incubation microbiological analysis. It identifies bacterial susceptibility to imipenem-relebactam, a combination antibiotic, for Gram-negative organisms including Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-baumannii complex, Enterobacterales, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

This system is intended for use in clinical microbiology laboratories and operates as a reusable, non-sterile instrument. It requires compatible consumables and adheres to FDA-recognized susceptibility test interpretive criteria. The device is classified under FDA regulation 866.1645 as a Class II medical device, with a 510(k) clearance (K250447) under the Traditional 510(k) review pathway, granted on May 19, 2025.

Frequently asked questions

What types of bacteria does the BD Phoenix Automated Microbiology System test for susceptibility to imipenem-relebactam?

This system specifically tests Gram-negative bacteria, including *Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-baumannii* complex, Enterobacterales, and *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*. It is designed to determine how these organisms respond to imipenem-relebactam, a combination antibiotic, using a short-incubation method for faster results.

Is the BD Phoenix Automated Microbiology System itself single-use or reusable, and how does that affect its consumables?

The BD Phoenix Automated Microbiology System is a reusable, non-sterile instrument. To operate, it requires compatible consumables that are designed for single-use, ensuring each test run is performed with fresh materials for accuracy and safety.

What is the intended clinical setting for use of this device, and what kind of laboratory staff would typically operate it?

This device is intended for use in clinical microbiology laboratories, where trained laboratory personnel—such as microbiologists, laboratory technicians, or clinical laboratory scientists—would operate it. It is designed to streamline antimicrobial susceptibility testing for Gram-negative bacteria.

How does the BD Phoenix Automated Microbiology System determine if a bacterium is susceptible to imipenem-relebactam?

The system uses automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing with a short-incubation method to evaluate bacterial response to imipenem-relebactam at specific concentrations (ranging from 0.0625/4 to 16/4 µg/mL). It adheres to FDA-recognized interpretive criteria to classify organisms as susceptible or resistant, providing actionable results for treatment decisions.

What regulatory pathway was followed for the FDA clearance of this device, and what does that mean for its use?

The BD Phoenix Automated Microbiology System received FDA clearance through the Traditional 510(k) review pathway, classified under regulation 866.1645 as a Class II device. This means the device was determined to be substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device, ensuring it meets FDA safety and performance standards for clinical microbiology laboratories.
