The Accelerate PhenoTest BC kit is a multiplexed in vitro diagnostic test utilizing both qualitative nucleic acid fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) identification and quantitative, antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) methods and is intended for use with the Accelerate Pheno system. The Accelerate PhenoTest BC kit is capable of simultaneous detection and identification of multiple microbial targets followed by susceptibility testing of the appropriate detected bacterial organisms. The Accelerate PhenoTest BC kit is performed directly on blood culture samples identified as positive by a continuous monitoring blood culture system. Results are intended to be interpreted in conjunction with Gram stain results.

The Accelerate PhenoTest BC kit identifies the following Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and yeasts utilizing FISH probes targeting organism-specific ribosomal RNA sequences: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus lugdunensis, Coagulase‐negative Staphylococcus species (i.e., Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Staphylococcus hominis, Staphylococcus capitis, Staphylococcus lugdunensis, Staphylococcus warneri, not differentiated), Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, Streptococcus spp. (i.e., Streptococcus mitis, Streptococcus oralis, Streptococcus gallolyticus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, not differentiated), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella spp. (i.e., Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, not differentiated), Escherichia coli, Enterobacter spp. (i.e., Enterobacter cloacae, Enterobacter aerogenes, not differentiated), Proteus spp. (i.e., Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, not differentiated), Citrobacter spp. (i.e., Citrobacter freundii, Citrobacter koseri, not differentiated), Serratia marcescens, Candida albicans and Candida glabrata.

The Accelerate PhenoTest BC kit is indicated as an aid in the diagnosis of bacteremia and fungemia. It is also indicated for susceptibility testing of specific pathogenic bacteria as identified above commonly associated with or causing bacteremia. Results are intended to be used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings.

Standard laboratory protocols for processing positive blood cultures should be followed to ensure availability of isolates for supplemental testing as needed. Additionally, subculture of positive blood culture is necessary for the identification and susceptibility testing of: organisms not identified by the Accelerate PhenoTest BC kit, organisms present in polymicrobial samples, organisms for which species identification is critical for patient care (e.g. speciation of Streptococcus spp.), samples for which an “indeterminate” result for any probe was obtained, for testing antimicrobial agents not included on the Accelerate panel and for epidemiologic testing.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
