No
The device is a chemical indicator that changes color based on exposure to a chemical, not through computational analysis or learning.
No
This device is a chemical indicator used to monitor the peracetic acid dose in an endoscope processing system, not to directly treat a patient.
No
The device is a chemical indicator that monitors the dose of peracetic acid in an endoscope processing system, not a diagnostic device for medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "single-use chemical indicator with indicator ink printed on one end," which is a physical component, not software.
Based on the provided information, the Reliance™ CI Process Indicator is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to monitor the performance of an endoscope processing system (Reliance™ EPS) and the effectiveness of a germicide (Reliance™ DG). It's a process indicator for a sterilization/disinfection cycle, not a test performed on a biological sample from a patient to diagnose a condition or provide information about a patient's health.
- Device Description: The device is a chemical indicator that reacts to peracetic acid concentration. It doesn't interact with biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description lacks any mention of:
- Testing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Providing diagnostic information about a patient
- Analyzing biological markers
Instead, it functions as a quality control tool for a medical device reprocessing procedure. It indicates whether the required level of germicide was achieved during the process.
Therefore, while it's a medical device used in a healthcare setting, it falls under the category of a process indicator or chemical indicator for sterilization/disinfection, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Device Description
The Reliance CI is a single-use chemical indicator with indicator ink printed on one end that was developed to monitor the peracetic acid (PAA) dose at the point of use in a Reliance™ EPS Endoscope Processing System employing Reliance™ DG Dry Germicide. The Reliance CI shows an incomplete color change when exposed to peracetic acid at a dose of 9,000 mg/L PAA min. in a Reliance™ EPS Endoscope Processing System cycle. The Reliance CI changes color from orange to white (colorless) when exposed to peracetic acid at a dose of 11,500 mg/L PAA min. in a Reliance™ EPS Endoscope Processing System cycle.

§ 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).

DG Dry Germicide. The Reliance CI shows an incomplete color change when exposed to peracetic acid at a dose of 9,000 mg/L PAA min. in a Reliance™ EPS Endoscope Processing System cycle. The Reliance CI changes color from orange to white (colorless) when exposed to peracetic acid at a dose of 11,500 mg/L PAA min. in a Reliance™ EPS Endoscope Processing System cycle.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS 6.
The technological characteristics of the proposed Reliance CI described in this submission are similar to the predicate Reliance™ PI Process Indicator. Both the Reliance CI and the Reliance™ PI Process Indicator are non-sterile, disposable polymeric strips with indicator ink that changes color in a Reliance™ EPS Endoscope Processing System cycle employing Reliance™ DG Dry Germicide. A table that compares the technological characteristics of the proposed and predicate devices is provided on the following page.
PERFORMANCE TESTING 7.
Performance testing was conducted to demonstrate that the Reliance CI is an effective monitor for the circulating peracetic acid dose of the Reliance™ EPS Endoscope Processing System employing Reliance™ DG Dry Germicide.

Dear Dr. Nolte:
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.
