No
The device is a biological indicator for sterilization processes and does not involve any computational analysis or learning.
No
The device is a biological indicator designed to monitor the effectiveness of sterilization processes, not to treat a medical condition or disease.
No
Justification: This device, a bacterial spore strip, is used to monitor the effectiveness of sterilization processes for medical devices, not to diagnose a patient's medical condition. It indicates whether a sterilization cycle has successfully killed bacterial spores, which is a quality control measure for equipment, not a diagnostic measure for health.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical strip of filter paper inoculated with bacterial spores, which is a hardware component.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to monitor the effectiveness of sterilization processes (Steam, Dry Heat, EO Gas, and Chemiclave®). This is a quality control measure for sterilization equipment, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample from a human or animal to diagnose a disease or condition.
- Device Description: The device is a spore strip containing bacterial spores. While it uses biological material, its purpose is to challenge a sterilization process, not to analyze a patient sample.
- Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of analyzing patient samples, diagnosing diseases, or providing information about a patient's health status.
IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body (such as blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The SPSmedical SporView® Bacterial Spore Strip is designed for routine monitoring of Steam, Dry Heat, EO Gas, and Chemiclave® sterilization processes. For steam sterilizers operating at 121℃ and at 132℃ a 24 hour incubation time has been validated. The indicator should be placed in the most difficult to sterilize location of the sterilization load. After cycle completion, the spore strip is removed from the load and 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 24 hours for steam processes. For Dry Heat, EO Gas, or Chemiclave® sterilization processes, the incubation period is seven (7) days.

Device Description
The SPSmedical SporView® Bacterial Spore Strip is a .250" x 1 1/2" Whatman 3MM chromatography filter paper inoculated with either a single species (Geobacillus stearothermophilus ATCC# 7953) or a dual species (Geobacillus stearothermophilus ATCC# 7953 and Bacillus atrophaeus ATTC# 9372) bacterial spores. The strip is packaged in a blue glassine envelope.

Summary of Performance Studies
Testing was conducted following the FDA guidance for the validation of reduced incubation of biological indicators. Testing was performed for the steam 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 24 hour reduced incubation time for the steam sterilization process when using the combination of the SPSmedical SporView® Bacterial Spore Strip and the SPSmedical's SporView® Culture Media.

§ 880.2800 Sterilization process indicator.
(a)
Biological sterilization process indicator —(1)Identification. A biological sterilization process indicator is 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.(2)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).(b)
Physical/chemical sterilization process indicator —(1)Identification. A physical/chemical sterilization process indicator is 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.(2)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
