Intended Use
SteriTec Integraph-E is a steam sterilization integrator for use in a pre-vacuum steam sterilization process at 132°C (270° F) for 2 minutes or 4 minutes. When exposed to steam sterilization conditions Integraph-E strips give an integrated response and visible indication that sterilization were met by changing from a purple to green color.

No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a chemical indicator that changes color based on exposure to steam sterilization conditions. There is no mention of any computational processing, algorithms, or learning capabilities.

No
This device is a steam sterilization integrator, which is used to verify that sterilization conditions have been met, not to treat or diagnose patients.

No
Explanation: This device is a sterilization integrator that changes color to indicate if sterilization conditions have been met. It does not diagnose medical conditions in patients.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "steam sterilization integrator" and "strips" that change color, indicating a physical, hardware-based device. There is no mention of software components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device function: The SteriTec Integraph-E is a steam sterilization integrator. Its purpose is to monitor the effectiveness of a sterilization process for medical devices or other items, not to diagnose or test a human sample.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for monitoring a steam sterilization process, not for use on a patient sample.

Therefore, the SteriTec Integraph-E falls under the category of a sterilization process indicator, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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 (QS) 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.
