## Recalls of this device
- Oct 13, 2022 · Class II · Z-0232-2023: Misformulated minocycline-can cause erroneously increased Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values when performing antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) against minocycline and result in the re
- Nov 6, 2012 · Class II · Z-0570-2013: An antibiotic susceptibility test kit may produce false intermediate or false resistant results with clinically significant bacteria.

## Indications for use
The BD PhoenixTM 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, Enterococcus and Streptococcus. This premarket notification is for the addition of the antimicrobial agent minocycline at concentrations of 1-32 lig/mL to Gram-positive ID/AST or AST only Phoenix panels. Minocycline 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: Staphylococcus aureus Active In Vitro Enterococcus species (vancomycin resistant, VRE, VanA, VanB)
