Introduction

The Pfizer Antimicrobial Voluntary Evaluation Program (AVEP) provides Research Use Only (RUO) ETEST® AZTREONAM / AVIBACTAM (AZA) MIC panels for susceptibility testing for non-diagnostic, in vitro purposes.

The purpose of the program is to provide institutions with the opportunity to understand the susceptibility profile for the pathogens in their institution before ETEST® AZTREONAM / AVIBACTAM (AZA) is available on automated susceptibility panels.

ETEST® AZTREONAM / AVIBACTAM (AZA) RUO program may not be available in your country, subject to local regulations and compliance guidance. Your request will go through global assessment and approval. Please refer to a local Pfizer colleague for more information.
