Studies with H. influenzae were conducted at 2 external and one internal site. Forty-six H. influenzae isolates, which were originally tested at one of the external sites (Site 3), showed
unacceptable major error rates (i.e. 3.6 to 19%) and very major error rates (i.e. 17.5 to 100%) with the use of the Vizion™ system for the following drugs: Ampicillin, Chloramphenicol,
Cefaclor, Ceftriaxone, Tetracycline, Clarithromycin, Imipenem, Meropenem, and TMP/SMX. This was attributed to site-specific issues of failure to follow on-site training along with
failure to confirm the Vizion™ system readings on a mirror viewer. These 46 isolates were later sent to another external laboratory (Site 4) for retesting using the Vizion™ system. Site 4
tested the same 46 clinical isolates as Site 3 as per the Technical Information (TI). The results presented in this Table (14) reflect the overall results from sites 1, 2 and 4. Please refer to
