The device is a physical test pack with a chemical indicator and biological indicator, relying on chemical and biological reactions to indicate sterilization parameters. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest AI/ML.
No
The device is a steam sterilization monitor designed to test the efficacy of sterilizers, not to provide therapy to patients.
No
This device is a steam sterilization monitor designed to test the efficacy of sterilizers, not to diagnose a medical condition in a patient.
No
The device is a physical test pack containing a biological indicator and a chemical integrator card, designed to be placed in a steam sterilizer. It is not software.
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 the effectiveness of a steam sterilization process for medical devices. It's assessing the sterilizer's performance, not diagnosing a condition in a patient or analyzing a biological sample from a patient.
- Device Description: The device contains a biological indicator (spores) and a chemical integrator. These components are used to challenge the sterilization process and indicate whether the necessary conditions for sterilization were met. This is a quality control measure for the sterilization equipment, not a diagnostic test on a patient sample.
- No mention of patient samples: The description focuses on the sterilization process and the device's ability to indicate its success. There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample from a patient.
IVDs are typically used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Getinge Biosign SSI Test Pack with Instant Readout Integrator is a steam sterilization monitor designed specifically for biological testing of pre-vacuum steam sterilizers operating at 132°C. The instant readout integrator card gives the operator a prediction of the biological test outcome. When the chemical integrator "PASS" changes from purple to green, it indicates correct exposure conditions of temperature, time and steam.

Device Description
The Getinge Biosign SSI Test Pack with Instant Readout Integrator is a test pack designed specifically for biological testing of steam 132°C pre-vacuum sterilization cycles. When used to monitor steam 132°C pre-vacuum cycles, the product is intended to give the user an instant reassurance based on a result from a steam integrator card, and after biological indicator incubation, even greater assurance that the sterilizer operated at proper sterilization parameters.
The Biosign SSI Test Pack with Instant Readout Integrator is constructed using a self-contained Geobacillus stearothermophilus biological indicator (10"spores/strip), placed inside a small package of porous and nonporous materials, and includes a steam integrator card. The package simulates the biological indicator 16-towel test pack as defined by ANSI/AAMI ST46-1993. The instant readout integrator card provides immediate verification that the test pack was exposed to sterilization parameters, when the word "PASS" imprinted with a purple indicator ink, changes to green. The biological indicator gives an even greater assurance that sterilization occurred, when the incubated spores display no growth, as indicated by no color change (red) in the growth media.
The shelflife of the new Biosign SSI Test Pack with Instant Readout Integrator is the same as the predicate Biosign EZ-VU Test pack (18 months). The biological indicator is the generally limiting factor and the shelflife of the product can never go beyond the shelflife of the biological indicator, or the shelflife of the integrator card, whichever is shortest.
The Getinge Biosign SSI Test Pack with Instant Readout Integrator is the same size as, utilizes the same materials and is constructed the same as the Biosign EZ-VU Test pack, only with the addition of the instant readout indicator card printed with the integrator ink utilized in the SteriTec Biological Test Pack with Instant Readout Integrator. Since the integrator card was designed to function inside a test pack, its placement in the biological test pack offers no difference in functional environment. The same Biosign biological indicator with Geobacillus stearothermophilus is utilized in the Biosign SSI Test Pack with Instant Readout Integrator, as is used in the Biosign EZ-VU Test pack.

Summary of Performance Studies
Samples from 3 different lots of Biosign SSI Test Pack with Instant Readout Integrator were run at steam 132° pre-vacuum for various exposure times. For comparison, different lots of Biosign EZ-VU Test Pack and SteriTec Biological Test Pack with Instant Readout Integrator were also run at steam 132°C pre-vacuum. Testing was conducted in a validated BIER unit and in a Getinge straightline sterilizer.

§ 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)
