Intended Use
STEAMPlus™ Sterilization Integrators are intended to be used to monitor parameters in steam sterilization cycles in healthcare facilities. The critical parameters for which the integrators will respond are time and temperature (under the presence of saturated steam). The integrators are intended to be used in steam cycles operating at 121°C - 134°C.
Device Description
The SPSmedical STEAMPlus™ Steam Integrator is designed to monitor sterilization parameters in steam sterilizers. It is a wicking style integrator which provides a visual indication that proper sterilization parameters were present within the sterilizers' chamber. Once the defined sterilization parameters have been reached the integrators pellet will melt and its dye will migrate from the non safe zone into the integrators safe zone. This will indicate to the user that the defined parameters for the integrator have been met.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies indicate a chemical integrator that responds to physical parameters (time and temperature) through a melting pellet and dye migration, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
This device is a sterilization integrator used to monitor parameters in steam sterilization cycles, not to treat or diagnose patients.

No

The device monitors the parameters of a steam sterilization cycle, indicating if proper sterilization conditions were met. It does not diagnose a medical condition in a patient.

No

The device description clearly indicates a physical, wicking-style integrator with a melting pellet and dye migration, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to monitor parameters in steam sterilization cycles in healthcare facilities. This is a quality control and process monitoring function, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample from a patient.
  • Device Description: The device monitors physical parameters (time and temperature under saturated steam) and provides a visual indication based on a melting pellet and dye migration. It does not analyze biological samples or provide information about a patient's health status.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description lacks any mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), diagnosing diseases, or providing information for clinical decision-making regarding a patient.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that definition.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The SPSmedical STEAMPlus™ Steam Integrator monitors sterilization parameters in both prevacuum and gravity type steam sterilizers. They are a reliable tool used for the monitoring of steam sterilization processes and provide a visual indication that proper sterilization parameters were present within the sterilizers' chamber. Integrators can be used in wrapped packs, trays, pouches, containers and in unwrapped trays.

§ 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).

Device Description

The SPSmedical STEAMPlus™ Steam Integrator is designed to monitor sterilization parameters in steam sterilizers. It is a wicking style integrator which provides a visual indication that proper sterilization parameters were present within the sterilizers' chamber. Once the defined sterilization parameters have been reached the integrators pellet will melt and its dye will migrate from the non safe zone into the integrators safe zone. This will indicate to the user that the defined parameters for the integrator have been met.

Intended Use

The SPSmedical STEAMPlus™ Steam Integrator monitors sterilization parameters in both prevacuum and gravity type steam sterilizers. They are a reliable tool used for the monitoring of steam sterilization processes and provide a visual indication that proper sterilization parameters were present within the sterilizers' chamber. Integrators can be used in wrapped packs, trays, pouches, containers and in unwrapped trays.

Performance Testing

Testing was performed in accordance with AAMVANSI ST60:1996 - Sterilization of health care products - Chemical indicators - Part 1: General requirements.

Recommended Storage Conditions

Store in a cool, dry place (15-30℃).

Shelf life

The shelf life shall be 5 years from the date of manufacture, when stored in a cool, dry place (15-30°C).

Biocompatibility

Risk analysis concludes that the manufacturing and subsequent use of this product has a low associated risk and that the product is safe for its intended use and handling.

Conclusion

Data has demonstrated that the SPSmedical STEAMPlus™ Steam Integrator is equivalent to the predicate device. Results of testing show the SPSmedical STEAMPlus Integrator is a highly reliable and reproducible chemical integrator for steam sterilization processes and meets the performance claims for a class 5 integrator according to AAMI/ANSI ST60. It is capable of integrating time and temperature into an easy to interpret "Safe Zone" where the pellet only melts and advances into the safe zone when conditions needed for spore death have been reached.

The STEAMPlus™ Steam Integrator raises no issues related to safety or effectiveness and therefore should be allowed for market in the United States.
