## Cited in the summary but kept off the family tree
- P050510: VITEK System. Not in FDA’s 510(k), De Novo or PMA lists as we hold them (a misreading, a typo, or a number FDA does not list), so it is kept off the family tree

## Indications for use
The BD Phoenix Automated Microbiology System is intended for in vitro quantitative determination of antimicrobial susceptibility by minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of most Gram-negative aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria isolates from pure culture for Enterobacteriaceae and Non-Enterobacteriaceae and most Gram-positive bacteria isolates from pure culture belonging to the genera Staphylococcus and Enterococcus. This premarket notification is for the addition of the antimicrobial agent imipenem at concentrations of 1-16 µg/mL to Gram-negative ID/AST or AST only Phoenix panels. Imipenem has been shown to be active in vitro against most strains of microorganisms listed below, as described in the FDA-approved package insert for this antimicrobial agent. Active In Vitro and in Clinical Infections Against: Acinetobacter spp. Escherichia coli Pseudomonas aeruginosa Citrobacter spp. Klebsiella spp. Serratia spp. Enterobacter spp. Morganella morganii. Active In Vitro Against: Aeromonas hydrophila Providencia stuartii Alcaligenes faecalis
