The document describes a biological indicator for steam sterilization, which is a chemical/biological product, not a software or hardware device that would typically incorporate AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the text.
No.
This device is a biological indicator used to monitor the effectiveness of steam sterilization cycles, not a device used for treating disease or injury.
No
This device is a biological indicator used to monitor the effectiveness of steam sterilization cycles, not a diagnostic device for medical conditions or diseases. It tests the sterilization process, not a patient.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "self-contained biological indicator" containing spores and culture medium, indicating it is a physical device, not software.
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 steam sterilization cycles. It's testing the sterilization process itself, not a biological sample from a patient to diagnose a condition or provide information about their health.
- Device Description: The device contains bacterial spores and culture medium to assess if the sterilization process killed the spores. This is a test of the sterilization equipment's performance, not a diagnostic test on a human 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 humans.
IVDs are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for clinical purposes. This device is used to test the efficacy of a sterilization process, which is a quality control measure for medical equipment, not a diagnostic test for a patient.

Device Description
The Getinge Biosign Steam-24 Biological Indicator is a self-contained biological indicator designed for biological testing of steam 121°C and 134°C pre-vacuum and gravity and flash steam sterilization cycles. When used to monitor steam cycles, the product is intended to give the user results after 24 hours incubation. The Biosign Steam-24 Biological Indicator contains 10ª Geobacillus stearothermophilus (nee Bacillus stearothermophilus) spores/carrier. The Biological Indicator is selfcontained with an ampule containing culture medium in the same vial as the spore strip.
The shelflife of the new Biosign Steam-24 Biological Indicator is the unmodified Biosign Biological Indicator (18 months).
The Getinge Biosign Steam-24 Biological Indicator is the same size as, utilizes the same materials and manufacturing processes as the Biosign Biological Indicator. The Biosign Steam-24 Biological Indicator does not contain Bacillus atrophaeus (nee B. subtilis var. niger) and therefor is NOT labeled for use in monitoring ethylene oxide sterilization cycles.
There are no technological differences between the Biosign Steam-24 Biological Indicator and the unmodified device. The same steam indicator spores are utilized, the same media ampule is used, the same packaging materials are utilized and the same manufacturing processes have been utilized.

§ 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).

Self-contained Biological Indicator Common Name: Propietary Name: Biosign Steam-24 Biological Indicator
Classification: Indicator, Biological Sterilization Process - Class II, 80 FRC
Predicate Device: Biosign Biological Indicator (K872867)
Device Description:
The Getinge Biosign Steam-24 Biological Indicator is a self-contained biological indicator designed for biological testing of steam 121°C and 134°C pre-vacuum and gravity and flash steam sterilization cycles. When used to monitor steam cycles, the product is intended to give the user results after 24 hours incubation. The Biosign Steam-24 Biological Indicator contains 10ª Geobacillus stearothermophilus (nee Bacillus stearothermophilus) spores/carrier. The Biological Indicator is selfcontained with an ampule containing culture medium in the same vial as the spore strip.
The shelflife of the new Biosign Steam-24 Biological Indicator is the unmodified Biosign Biological Indicator (18 months).
The Getinge Biosign Steam-24 Biological Indicator is the same size as, utilizes the same materials and manufacturing processes as the Biosign Biological Indicator. The Biosign Steam-24 Biological Indicator does not contain Bacillus atrophaeus (nee B. subtilis var. niger) and therefor is NOT labeled for use in monitoring ethylene oxide sterilization cycles.
There are no technological differences between the Biosign Steam-24 Biological Indicator and the unmodified device. The same steam indicator spores are utilized, the same media ampule is used, the same packaging materials are utilized and the same manufacturing processes have been utilized.
Intended Use:
The Getinge Biosign Steam-24 Biological Indicator is a steam sterilization monitor designed specifically for biological testing of 121°C. 134°C gravity and pre-vacuum and flash steam sterilization cycles with results available after 24 hours incubation.
Comparison to Unmodified Device:
The Getinge Biosign Steam-24 Biological Indicator's manufacturing material, manufacturing methods and storage conditions are the unmodified Biosign Biological Indicator. The new modified design allows for greater than 97% assurance for 24 hour incubation time per CDRH Guidelines. The Biosign Steam-24 design does not include B. atrophaeus spore for monitoring ethylene oxide and therefor is only labeled for monitoring steam cycles.
