What is it indicated for?

The Colibrí™ is an automated in vitro diagnostic specimen preparation system for use with WASPLab® to prepare MALDI-TOF targets for the bioMérieux VITEK® MS or Bruker MALDI Biotyper® CA mass spectrometry systems for qualitative identification and microbial suspension for the bioMérieux VITEK® 2 Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) system for qualitative testing of isolated colonies of gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial species grown on solid…

Read the full statement (204 words)

The Colibrí™ is an automated in vitro diagnostic specimen preparation system for use with WASPLab® to prepare MALDI-TOF targets for the bioMérieux VITEK® MS or Bruker MALDI Biotyper® CA mass spectrometry systems for qualitative identification and microbial suspension for the bioMérieux VITEK® 2 Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) system for qualitative testing of isolated colonies of gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial species grown on solid culture media.

The Colibrí™ is an automated pre-analytical processor that picks isolated colonies designated by the operator and uses a pipetting system to prepare MALDI-TOF MS (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry) target slides for bacterial identification and microbial suspension at known concentration for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing and purity assessment.

The Colibrí™ software records the identity of each sample and its position on the target slide and communicates this information electronically to the MALDI-TOF MS analyzers.

Bacterial suspensions for AST and purity plates are identified by barcode label.

The Colibrí™ is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals in clinical laboratories in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings, including Gram staining, to aid in the diagnosis of bacterial infections.

The Colibrí™ has not been validated for use in the identification or processing of yeast species, molds, Nocardia, or mycobacteria.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
