  • Notas adicionales en la data
    For the reasons explained in the brief description of the problem, we recommend to customers (users of the Vitek AST N 239 card): 1- Use an alternative method (which they must decide which to implement, based on the technical literature available in the microbiology area), before colitis, when using the Vitek 2AST N 239 card (cs01n). 2 - Create the BIOART rule in Vitek equipment, to stop the emission of the results for colistin until the supporting test (optional method mentioned above) is completed (Vitek 2 Reference Manual Software Online). 3- Ensure that the guidelines contained in the letter to the clients (attached to this form) will be passed on to all appropriate personnel in their laboratories for their science. 4- Keep the guidance letter filed with the technical documentation of the Vitek 2 equipment. 5- Complete the knowledge form that accompanies the letter to the clients and return the same as soon as possible to the Dept. of Integrated Customer Service for bioMérieux Brasil.
  • Causa
    Eucast and clsi have issued a recommendation that the broth microdilution method is the only method for antibiotic susceptibility testing recommended for the antibiotic colistin. as a result some customers contacted biomérieux with issues related to the vitek 2ast n 239 card (cs01n), as this product was developed by dilution in agar. an investigation was developed to document the performance level of the vitek 2ast n 239 card (cs01n) and to identify any possibility of deviation of this card from its development. the investigative tests included the card in question and broth microdilution and microdilution agar methods; using 290 isolates with varying degrees of colistin sensitivity. two control microorganisms were included in the test (e.Coli atcc 25922 and p.Aeruginosa atcc 27853). the mic results for the 03 methods were purchased and evaluated. the research demonstrated an unacceptable level of false susceptibility with vitek 2ast n 239 (cs01n) when compared to agar dilution (reference method employed in carton development) and broth microdilution (eucast and clsi recommended method) ). in recent years the use of colistin has been greatly increased, giving rise to a change in epidemiology since the development of vitek 2ast n 239 (cs01n). internal investigations concluded that the carton in question for colistin did not perform adequately when compared to broth microdilution and agar dilution methods.
