Intended Use
The SPSmedical SportView® Bacterial Spore Strip is designed to monitor Chemiclave® chemical vapor sterilizers. The combination of SPSmedical's spore strip and SporView Culture Media (Tryptic Soy Broth, Modified with Bromocresol Purple) has been validated at 60 ℃ for a reduced incubation time of 72 hours for the Chemical vapor sterilization process.
Device Description
The SPSmedical SporView® Bacterial Spore Strip is inoculated with either Geobacillus stearothermophilus ATCC# 7953 or Bacillus atrophaeus ATTC# 9372 bacterial spores. A dual species spore strip containing both the Geobacillus stearothermophilus ATCC# 7953 and Bacillus atrophaeus ATTC# 9372 organisms is also manufactured. The strip is packaged in a blue, glassine envelope.

No
The device is a biological indicator for sterilization monitoring, which relies on the growth of bacterial spores, not AI/ML algorithms. The summary explicitly states "Not Found" for mentions of AI, DNN, or ML.

No.
This device is designed to monitor the effectiveness of sterilizers, not to treat or diagnose medical conditions in patients. #

No

The device is designed to monitor chemical vapor sterilizers by using bacterial spore strips to validate sterilization processes, not to diagnose medical conditions in patients.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical spore strip inoculated with bacterial spores, which is a hardware component, not software.

Based on the provided text, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The device is designed to "monitor Chemiclave® chemical vapor sterilizers." This monitoring is done by assessing the viability of bacterial spores after exposure to the sterilization process. This is a test performed in vitro (outside of a living organism) to evaluate the effectiveness of a process.
  • Device Description: The device contains bacterial spores and is used in conjunction with a "SporView Culture Media (Tryptic Soy Broth, Modified with Bromocresol Purple)." The culture media is used to grow any surviving spores, which is a classic in vitro diagnostic technique to determine the presence and viability of microorganisms.
  • Performance Studies: The testing described involves incubating the spore strips in culture media and observing the results (presumably growth or no growth). This is a diagnostic test to determine if the sterilization process was successful.

While the device itself is a spore strip, its intended use and the method of evaluation (culturing in media) clearly fall under the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, as it is used to perform a test outside of the body to provide information about the effectiveness of a process.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The SPSmedical SporView® Bacterial Spore Strip is designed for routine monitoring of Steam, Dry Heat, EO Gas, and Chemiclave® sterilization processes. The indicator should be placed in the most difficult to sterilize location of the Chemiclave® sterilization load. The spore strip is aseptically transferred into SPSmedical's SporView® Culture Media (Tryptic Soy Broth with Bromocresol Purple) and incubated at 60 C. The combination of SPSmedical's spore strip and media has been validated for a reduced incubation time of 72 hours for the Chemiclave® chemical vapor sterilization process.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Testing was conducted following the FDA guidance for the validation of reduced incubation of biological indicators. Testing was performed for the Chemiclave® chemical vapor sterilization process using three lots of biological indicators; this included a newly manufactured lot, mid-range expiration lot and a lot nearing its expiration date. All lots were tested using SPSmedical's SporView® Culture Media (Tryptic Soy Broth, Modified with Bromocresol Purple). All lots tested resulted in a 72 hour reduced incubation time for the chemical vapor sterilization process when using the combination of the SPSmedical SporView® Bacterial Spore Strip and the SPSmedical's SporView® Culture Media.

§ 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)
