The description focuses on chemical indicators for sterilization, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
This device is a process indicator used to distinguish between processed and unprocessed healthcare items after steam sterilization, not to treat any medical condition.
No
The device is a process indicator used to distinguish between processed and unprocessed items after steam sterilization, not to diagnose a disease or condition in a patient.
No
The device description clearly indicates physical items (Cards, Labels, and DOTS) that undergo a chemical change (turn dark gray/black) when exposed to steam sterilization. This is a hardware-based indicator, 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 distinguish between processed and unprocessed items after steam sterilization. This is a quality control/process monitoring function for sterilization, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples to diagnose a disease or condition.
- Device Description: While the description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly points away from in vitro diagnostics.
- No mention of biological samples: The description doesn't mention the use of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), which are fundamental to IVDs.
- No mention of diagnosing or monitoring a disease: The purpose is to verify a sterilization process, not to provide information about a patient's health status.
IVDs are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

§ 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 vour 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.
