Explanation: This device is designed to test the concentration of glutaraldehyde in disinfecting solutions for dialyzers, not to treat or diagnose a medical condition in a patient. It is a diagnostic tool for solution quality, not a therapeutic agent.
No
The device tests the concentration of glutaraldehyde in disinfecting solutions and reprocessed dialyzers; it does not diagnose a medical condition in a patient.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical strip with a chemically treated pad, indicating it is a hardware device, not software only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to test the concentration of Glutaraldehyde in dialyzer disinfecting solutions. This is a test performed on a solution used to disinfect medical equipment, not on a biological sample from a human body.
- Device Description: The device tests a chemical solution, not a biological sample.
- Lack of Biological Sample Testing: There is no mention of the device being used to test blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological specimen.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease. This device tests a chemical solution used in the reprocessing of medical equipment.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
SteriChek Glutaraldehyde Reagent Strips provide a convenient means of testing the concentration of Glutaraldehyde in dialyzer disinfecting solutions. The test is not intended to replace microbiological tests or quantitative determinations of concentrations of stock solutions of Glutaraldehyde. The test may be used on a random sample of reprocessed dialyzers in order to document the presence of the agent during storage. SteriChek Glutaraldehyde Reagent Strips do not measure residual levels of Glutaraldehyde.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The performance characteristics of SteriChek Glutaraldehyde Reagent Strips are based on analytical studies using samples of Glutaraldehyde solutions of various concentrations. The reference method for determination of Glutaraldehyde is based on the reaction of Glutaraldehyde with hydroxylamine hydrochloride followed by titration of the released acid (Aldrich Chemical Company, "Basics Assay Method for Determination of Aldehydes and Ketones".)

§ 876.5820 Hemodialysis system and accessories.
(a)
Identification. A hemodialysis system and accessories is a device that is used as an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and that consists of an extracorporeal blood system, a conventional dialyzer, a dialysate delivery system, and accessories. Blood from a patient flows through the tubing of the extracorporeal blood system and accessories to the blood compartment of the dialyzer, then returns through further tubing of the extracorporeal blood system to the patient. The dialyzer has two compartments that are separated by a semipermeable membrane. While the blood is in the blood compartment, undesirable substances in the blood pass through the semipermeable membrane into the dialysate in the dialysate compartment. The dialysate delivery system controls and monitors the dialysate circulating through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer.(1) The extracorporeal blood system and accessories consists of tubing, pumps, pressure monitors, air foam or bubble detectors, and alarms to keep blood moving safely from the blood access device and accessories for hemodialysis (§ 876.5540) to the blood compartment of the dialyzer and back to the patient.
(2) The conventional dialyzer allows a transfer of water and solutes between the blood and the dialysate through the semipermeable membrane. The semipermeable membrane of the conventional dialyzer has a sufficiently low permeability to water that an ultrafiltration controller is not required to prevent excessive loss of water from the patient's blood. This conventional dialyzer does not include hemodialyzers with the disposable inserts (Kiil type) (§ 876.5830) or dialyzers of high permeability (§ 876.5860).
(3) The dialysate delivery system consists of mechanisms that monitor and control the temperature, conductivity, flow rate, and pressure of the dialysate and circulates dialysate through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer. The dialysate delivery system includes the dialysate concentrate for hemodialysis (liquid or powder) and alarms to indicate abnormal dialysate conditions. This dialysate delivery system does not include the sorbent regenerated dialysate delivery system for hemodialysis (§ 876.5600), the dialysate delivery system of the peritoneal dialysis system and accessories (§ 876.5630), or the controlled dialysate delivery system of the high permeability hemodialysis system § 876.5860).
(4) Remote accessories to the hemodialysis system include the unpowered dialysis chair without a scale, the powered dialysis chair without a scale, the dialyzer holder set, dialysis tie gun and ties, and hemodialysis start/stop tray.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (performance standards) for hemodialysis systems and all accessories directly associated with the extracorporeal blood system and the dialysate delivery system.(2) Class I for other accessories of the hemodialysis system remote from the extracorporeal blood system and the dialysate delivery system, such as the unpowered dialysis chair, hemodialysis start/stop tray, dialyzer holder set, and dialysis tie gun and ties. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

Technological The device is a qualitative reagent strip method to measure Glutaraldchydc Characteristics: solution by color change caused by the sample on a pad containing dry reagents and indicators. Glycine in the reagent pad reacts with Glutaraldchyde and releases acid. The resulting pH change is detected with a colorimetric indicator. The active components are the pH indicator Methyl Red (CAS #845-10-3), and Glycine (CAS #56-40-6). Assessment of The performance characteristics of SteriChek Glutaraldehyde Reagent Performance: Strips are based on analytical studies using samples of Glutaraldehyde solutions of various concentrations. The reference method for determination of Glutaraldehyde is based on the reaction of Glutaraldehyde with hydroxylamine hydrochloride followed by titration of the released acid (Aldrich Chemical Company, "Basics Assay Method for Determination of Aldehydes and Ketones".) The SteriChek® Glutaraldchyde Reagent Strips have the same intended Conclusion: use as the predicate device. The predicate device's indicator system is different than that of the SteriChek Glutaraldehyde Reagent Strips. However, both systems effectively measure the pH or hydrogen ion concentration. The SteriChek® Glutaraldehyde Reagent Strips have no technological characteristics that raise new types of safety or effectiveness questions.
