EUCAST and automated AST Andrew Whitelaw
Scope and purpose Focus on Vitek Explore options for EUCAST switch
Background Physically switching is easy setting changes on instrument Current cards have 64 wells New 104 well cards coming Gram neg - late 2016/ early 2017 Gram pos late 2017 New cards will also require changes to LIS interfacing

Some reporting issues Co-amoxiclav for uncomplicated UTI May need a comment; hard to differentiate complicated from uncomplicated based on request form Cipro and Salmonella (current problem as well) Can t report piptazo, cefepime, ceftazidime for Acinetobacter
Options Keep current card, but co-amoxiclav formulation incorrect (?report on CLSI criteria) Keep current card, and test co-amox manually Design new cards (pvt and NHLS) with EUCAST co-amox instead of CLSI (same # wells) Approx 8-12 weeks Also plan for a nationally standardised card when 104 well card comes out ?cost implications Use an existing EUCAST compliant card

Key issues Erythromycin in current card is not EUCAST compliant HLAR is not EUCAST compliant (?if any Vitek HLAR is EUCAST compliant) Mupirocin MIC range in NHLS card is inappropriate Needs 1 extra well Rifampicin MIC range inappropriate Need extra well Trimeth/sulfa range inappropriate for enterococci No telithromycin criteria for Staphs
Options Keep current card, Stop reporting erythromycin, or test manually Manual HL gent Stop reporting rif for staphs Design new 64 well cards, pending the 104 well card Doesn t solve HLAR Change to alternative erythromycin compliant cards
