510(k) K984087
Product code JWY
Overview
The System U3 for Ampicillin is a Manual Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test System (Product Code JWY), designed for in vitro determination of bacterial susceptibility to ampicillin. It falls under the classification of microbiology diagnostic devices, enabling laboratories to assess whether bacterial isolates are resistant or susceptible to this beta-lactam antibiotic. The system adheres to regulatory standards for antimicrobial testing, ensuring reproducible and clinically relevant results for infection control and treatment guidance.
This device is supplied as a manual test kit for single-use in clinical microbiology laboratories. It is intended for use in non-sterile environments, as it is not sterile-packaged but validated for accurate performance under controlled laboratory conditions. The System U3 complies with FDA 510(k) clearance (K984087) under Class II regulatory classification, with no MRI safety considerations. Storage and handling follow standard microbiological protocols to maintain test integrity, and its use is governed by regulatory requirements for antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems.
