## 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 PhoenixT'M 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 to demonstrate the ability to detect vancomycin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) with the antimicrobial agent vancomycin at concentrations of 0.5-32 pg/mL (K030677, April 1,2003) and Gram positive ID/AST or AST only Phoenix panels. Vancomycin 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 antinicrobic. Active In Vitro and in Clinical Infections Against: Staphylococcus species Enterococcus species
