Intended Use
The SPSmedical SporView® Bacterial Spore Strip is designed for routine monitoring of Steam, Dry Heat, EO Gas, and Chemiclave® sterilization processes. The indicator should be placed in the most difficult to sterilize location of the Chemiclave® sterilization load. The spore strip is aseptically transferred into SPSmedical's SporView® Culture Media (Tryptic Soy Broth with Bromocresol Purple) and incubated at 60 C. The combination of SPSmedical's spore strip and media has been validated for a reduced incubation time of 72 hours for the Chemiclave® chemical vapor sterilization process.
Device Story
Device consists of bacterial spore strips inoculated with Geobacillus stearothermophilus or Bacillus atrophaeus; packaged in blue glassine envelopes. Used to monitor sterilization efficacy in Steam, Dry Heat, EO Gas, and Chemiclave® processes. Operator places strip in most difficult-to-sterilize location of load; post-cycle, strip is transferred to SporView® Culture Media (Tryptic Soy Broth with Bromocresol Purple) and incubated at 60°C. Growth/no-growth result indicates sterilization success or failure. Validated for 72-hour reduced incubation time for Chemiclave® process. Provides objective verification of sterilization cycle performance for clinical staff.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance validation conducted per FDA guidance for reduced incubation of biological indicators. Testing utilized three lots (new, mid-range, and near-expiration) of biological indicators in Chemiclave® chemical vapor sterilization cycles. Results confirmed a 72-hour reduced incubation time for the combination of the spore strip and SporView® Culture Media.
Technological Characteristics
Biological indicator consisting of Geobacillus stearothermophilus (ATCC 7953) or Bacillus atrophaeus (ATCC 9372) spores on a strip. Packaged in blue glassine envelope. Requires external incubation at 60°C in Tryptic Soy Broth with Bromocresol Purple. No electronic components or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for monitoring Chemiclave® chemical vapor sterilizers. Used by healthcare personnel to verify sterilization efficacy via biological indicator incubation at 60°C for 72 hours.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Biological sterilization process indicator: A device intended for use by a health care provider to accompany products being sterilized through a sterilization procedure and to monitor adequacy of sterilization. The device consists of a known number of microorganisms, of known resistance to the mode of sterilization, in or on a carrier and enclosed in a protective package. Subsequent growth or failure of the microorganisms to grow under suitable conditions indicates the adequacy of sterilization. Physical/chemical sterilization process indicator: A device intended for use by a health care provider to accompany products being sterilized through a sterilization procedure and to monitor one or more parameters of the sterilization process. The adequacy of the sterilization conditions as measured by these parameters is indicated by a visible change in the device.

### Device Name and Classification
| Trade Name: | SPSmedical SporView® Bacterial Spore Strip |
|------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------|
| Classification Name: | Sterilization Process Biological Indicator |
| Common Name: | Spore Strip Biological Indicator |
| Device Classification: | Class II, Regulation Number 880.2800 |
| Product Code: | FRC |
| Predicate Device: | SPSmedical SporView® Bacterial Spore Strip K023716<br>K905425 |
{1}------------------------------------------------
#### Device Description:
The SPSmedical SporView® Bacterial Spore Strip is inoculated with either Geobacillus stearothermophilus ATCC# 7953 or Bacillus atrophaeus ATTC# 9372 bacterial spores. A dual species spore strip containing both the Geobacillus stearothermophilus ATCC# 7953 and Bacillus atrophaeus ATTC# 9372 organisms is also manufactured. The strip is packaged in a blue, glassine envelope.
#### Intended Use:
The SPSmedical SporView® Bacterial Spore Strip is designed for routine monitoring of Steam, Dry Heat, EO Gas, and Chemiclave® sterilization processes. The indicator should be placed in the most difficult to sterilize location of the Chemiclave® sterilization load. The spore strip is aseptically transferred into SPSmedical's SporView® Culture Media (Tryptic Soy Broth with Bromocresol Purple) and incubated at 60 C. The combination of SPSmedical's spore strip and media has been validated for a reduced incubation time of 72 hours for the Chemiclave® chemical vapor sterilization process.
Statement of Similarity to the Legally Marketed Predicate Device:
- . Have the same indicated use
- Incorporate the same materials .
- . Have the same shelf life
- Packaged using the same materials and processes .
#### Non-Clinical Testing:
Testing was conducted following the FDA guidance for the validation of reduced incubation of biological indicators. Testing was performed for the Chemiclave® chemical vapor sterilization process using three lots of biological indicators; this included a newly manufactured lot, mid-range expiration lot and a lot nearing its expiration date. All lots were tested using SPSmedical's SporView® Culture Media (Tryptic Soy Broth, Modified with Bromocresol Purple). All lots tested resulted in a 72 hour reduced incubation time for the chemical vapor sterilization process when using the combination of the SPSmedical SporView® Bacterial Spore Strip and the SPSmedical's SporView® Culture Media.
#### Conclusion:
Supportive data has demonstrated that the SPSmedical SporView® Bacterial Spore Strip is equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device. Results of performance testing validate that the SPSmedical SporView® Bacterial Spore Strip provides a 72 hour reduced incubation time when used with the SPSmedical SporView® Culture Media in monitoring the Chemiclave® chemical vapor sterilization process.
