Intended Use
The Verify Self-Contained Biological Indicator for Vaporized VH2O2 Sterilization Processes is intended as a standard method for frequent monitoring of the Amsco V-PROTM 1 Low Temperature Sterilization System.
Device Description
The Verify Self-Contained Biological Indicator (SCBI) for Vaporized (VH2O2 Sterilization Processes is used by healthcare providers to monitor the Amsco V-PROTM 1 Low Temperature Sterilizer. It is designed to accompany medical devices placed in the sterilizer. The user places the packaged Verify SCBI for VH2O2 into the V-PRO 1 Low Temperature Sterilization System and performs a sterilization cycle. After cycle completion, the SCBI can either be immediately activated or it can be held at room temperature for a maximum of 72 hours (3 days) prior to activation. The SCBI is activated by sealing the vial and rupturing the medium ampoule using the STERIS Verify SCBI HP activator. The activator automatically seals the SCBI vial and releases the growth media. The activated SCBI is incubated at 55 - 60 ℃. The SCBI indicates a pass if the media remains purple and non-turbid. The SCBI indicates a failure of sterilization if the media changes from purple to yellow and/or if the media is turbid.

The device description and performance studies focus on a biological indicator that changes color based on sterilization effectiveness, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
This device is designed to monitor the efficacy of sterilization processes for medical devices, rather than directly diagnosing, treating, or preventing disease in patients.

No

This device is a biological indicator used to monitor the effectiveness of a sterilization process, not to diagnose a medical condition in a patient.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical biological indicator (SCBI) that is placed in a sterilizer, activated, and incubated. It involves physical components and chemical reactions, not solely 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 a sterilization process for medical devices. It's assessing the effectiveness of the sterilization equipment, not diagnosing a condition or providing information about a patient's health.
  • Device Description: The device description clearly outlines its function as a biological indicator to verify the killing of microorganisms during sterilization. The color change indicates whether the sterilization process was successful in inactivating the biological indicator, not a diagnostic result related to a patient.
  • Lack of Patient Interaction: The device is used with medical devices being sterilized, not directly with a patient or a patient sample.
  • No Diagnostic Purpose: The outcome (color change) indicates the efficacy of the sterilization process, not a medical diagnosis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. 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 Mr. Scoville:

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.
