What is it indicated for?
The MicroScan® Dried Gram-Positive MIC/Combo Panel is used to determine quantitative and/or qualitative antimicrobial agent susceptibility of colonies grown on solid media of rapidly growing aerobic and facultative Gram-Positive cocci. After inoculation, panels are incubated for 16 — 20 hours at 35°C +/- 1°C in a non-CO2 incubator, and read either visually or with MicroScan instrumentation, according to the Package Insert.

The MicroScan® Dried Gram-Positive MIC/Combo Panel is used to determine quantitative and/or qualitative antimicrobial agent susceptibility of colonies grown on solid media of rapidly growing aerobic and facultative Gram-Positive cocci. After inoculation, panels are incubated for 16 — 20 hours at 35°C +/- 1°C in a non-CO2 incubator, and read either visually or with MicroScan instrumentation, according to the Package Insert.
This particular submission is for a revised QC range of > 0.5 mcg/ml for S. aureus ATCC #29213 with Ampicillin.
The Gram-Positive organisms which may be used for Ampicillin susceptibility testing in this panel are:
Staphylococcus aureus (beta-lactamase and non-beta-lactamase producing)
Staphylococcus epidermidis (beta-lactamase and non-beta-lactamase producing)
Staphyloccus saprophyticus (beta-lactamase and non-beta-lactamase producing)
Streptococcus faecalis (Enterococcus)
Streptococcus pyogenes
The MicroScan® Dried Gram-Positive MIC/Combo Panels with Ampicillin are not intended for use with Streptococcus pneumoniae and viridans streptococci.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
