Intended Use
The 3M™ Attest™ 1294 Rapid Readout Biological Indicator for EO is used to monitor ethylene oxide sterilization cycles when used in conjunction with the 3MTM Attest™ 290G Auto-reader. The 3M™ Attest™ 1298 Rapid Readout Biological Indicator for EO Test Pack is a routine challenge pack used to monitor ethylene oxide sterilization cycles when used in conjunction with the 3M™ Attest™ 290G Auto-reader. The 3M™ Attest TM 290G Auto-reader is designed to incubate and automatically read the 3M™ Attest ™ 1294 Rapid Readout Biological Indicators (RRBI) for EO at 37℃ for a final negative fluorescence reading at 4 hours.
Device Description
The 3M™ Attest™ 1294 Rapid Readout Biological Indicator (RRBI) for EO (green cap) is a self contained device consisting of a standardized, viable population of Bacillus atrophaeus, (formerly Bacillus subtilis), spores specifically designed for the rapid, reliable monitoring of ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization processes when used in conjunction with the 3M™ Attest™ 290G Auto-reader. The Attest 1294 RRBI for EO detects sterilization process failure through the activity of a naturally occurring enzyme, beta-glucosidase, produced by the organism during the germination and outgrowth process. The auto-reader detects the activity of this enzyme by reading a fluorescent product produced by the enzymatic breakdown of a substrate in the media. Presence of this enzyme indicates a sterilization process failure. The final negative biological indicator result, indicating an acceptable sterilization process, is made after 4 hours of incubation. The Attest 1294 RRBI for EO may also be incubated for 7 days to obtain a visual pH color change. (The 7-dav incubation is not intended for routine use and may be used to validate of the fluorescent results.) The biochemical activity of viable Bacillus atrophaeus produces acid by-products that cause the media to change from green to yellow. This visual pH color change also indicates a sterilization process failure however, due to the high sensitivity of the 4-hour fluorescent results, there is no advantage to incubate the Attest 1294 RRBI beyond 4 hours. The 3M™ Attest™ 1298 Rapid Readout Biological Indicator (RRBI) for EO Test Pack is specifically designed to routinely challenge the ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization process when used in conjunction with the 3M™ Attest™ Model 290G Auto-reader. This Test Pack is designed to present a challenge to the EO sterilization process comparable to the routine EO biological indicator pack recommended by ANSI/AAMI ST41 (1999).

The device description focuses on biological and enzymatic reactions detected by fluorescence, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is used to monitor ethylene oxide sterilization cycles for medical equipment, not to directly treat or diagnose a medical condition in a patient.

No

This device is a biological indicator used to monitor the effectiveness of ethylene oxide sterilization cycles, not to diagnose a medical condition in a patient.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components: a self-contained biological indicator with spores and media, and an auto-reader hardware device. The software component is part of the auto-reader's function, not the sole component of the medical device.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to monitor ethylene oxide sterilization cycles. This is a quality control process for sterilization equipment, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample from a patient to diagnose a disease or condition.
  • Device Description: The device contains bacterial spores and media to assess the effectiveness of a sterilization process. It detects the activity of an enzyme produced by viable spores, indicating a failure in sterilization. This is a test of the sterilization process itself, not a test on a patient sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention analyzing human biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease in a patient.

Therefore, the 3M™ Attest™ system described is a sterilization process indicator, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Mosenkis:

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.

Page 2 - Mr. Mosenkis

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. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
