The description focuses on a chemical indicator for sterilization, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
Explanation: This device is designed to detect residual air in steam sterilizers, ensuring proper sterilization conditions are met. It is a quality control tool for sterilization equipment, not a device used for therapy on humans or animals.
No
This device is an indicator for steam sterilizers, used to detect residual air and verify sterilization conditions. It does not diagnose medical conditions in patients. It assesses the functioning of a sterilization process.
No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a physical indicator (SteriTec Bowie-Dick Mini Pak) that undergoes a color change. This is a hardware-based device, not software.
Based on the provided information, the SteriTec Bowie-Dick Mini Pak is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The intended use of the SteriTec Bowie-Dick Mini Pak is to detect residual air in steam sterilizers, which are used to sterilize medical devices and equipment, not to analyze human specimens.
- The device's function is to monitor a sterilization process, not to diagnose a condition or provide information about a patient's health.
Therefore, the SteriTec Bowie-Dick Mini Pak falls under the category of a sterilization process indicator, not an IVD.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
SteriTec Bowie-Dick Mini Pak is designed to detect the presence of residual air in pre-vacuum steam sterilizers operating at 132° C for 3.5 minutes. The indicator will demonstrate a uniform color change from purple to green when the proper sterilization conditions are met and no air is present. If enough air is present to create a 2° C or greater temperature difference in a standard Bowie-Dick test towel pack, the indicator will demonstrate a non-uniform color change.

§ 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).

Dear Ms. Nelson:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21

CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4618.
