Intended Use
SteriTec Emu-Graph is a steam sterilization emulator for use in a pre-vacuum steam sterilizer at 132°C (270° F) or 135° C (275° F). When exposed to a steam sterilization process, the 2 MIN and 4 MIN indicator bars will turn from purple to green giving an integrated response and visible indication that sterilization conditions were met. If only the 2 MIN indicator bar turns green and the 4 MIN indicator bar displays an incomplete color change, insufficient sterilization conditions occurred.

No
The device is a chemical indicator that changes color based on temperature and time exposure, which is a passive chemical reaction, not AI/ML. The summary contains no mention of AI, ML, algorithms, data processing, or any other indicators of AI/ML technology.

No.
The device is a steam sterilization emulator, indicating whether sterilization conditions were met, rather than being used for treatment or diagnosis of a disease.

No
Explanation: A diagnostic device is used to detect or measure disease, conditions, or infections in humans or animals. This device is a steam sterilization emulator, which indicates if sterilization conditions were met, a function unrelated to diagnosing medical conditions in living beings.

No

The device is a steam sterilization emulator with physical indicator bars that change color, indicating it is a hardware device, 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 monitor the effectiveness of a steam sterilization process for medical devices. It does not involve testing a sample taken from the human body to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease.
  • Device Description: While the description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly defines its function as a sterilization indicator.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Testing: IVD devices are designed to test biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.). This device is used within a sterilizer to assess the sterilization environment itself.

Therefore, the SteriTec Emu-Graph is a sterilization process indicator, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

SteriTec Emu-Graph is a steam sterilization emulator for use in a pre-vacuum steam sterilizer at 132°C (270° F) or 135° C (275° F). When exposed to a sterilization process, when the 2 MIN and 4 MIN indicator bars will turn from purple to green giving an integrated response and visible indication that accepted sterilization conditions have been met. If only the 2 MIN indicator bar turns green and the 4 MIN indicator bar displays an incomplete color change, insufficient sterilization conditions occurred.

§ 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.
