What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: Pending LLM scoring against the rubric.

Plain-English summary

AI-powered bacterial culture plate interpretation and workup software does not have Premarket Approval or pre-market notification (510(k)/de novo), so there is potential risk that the colony count and/or morphology information from images may not accurately reflect actual plate and may lead to inaccurate counts and/or morphology characteristics impacting patient diagnosis and subsequent care.
