Intended Use
The Browne Rapicide Glutaraldehyde Indicator is a glutaraldehyde concentration monitor dedicated for use with Rapicide® High-Level Disinfectant and Sterilant. The purpose of the Browne Rapicide Glutaraldehyde Indicator is to determine whether the glutaraldehyde concentration of a Rapicide® High-Level Disinfectant and Sterilant solution is above the minimum recommended concentration, allowing the solution to be re-used for reprocessing temperature-sensitive (and other) instruments if the glutaraldehyde concentration is found to be greater than 1.5%.
Device Description
The Browne Rapicide Glutaraldehyde Indicator is a chemical indicator strip consisting of an absorbent paper pad impregnated with the reactive chemicals, which is adhesively bonded to one end of a polymer film. The Browne Rapicide Glutaraldehyde Indicator has been developed to monitor the active glutaraldehyde concentration of Rapicide® High-Level Disinfectant (K993042) and Sterilant solution at 35 °C that has an MRC of 1.5% glutaraldehyde.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a chemical indicator strip that changes color based on glutaraldehyde concentration, with no mention of computational analysis, algorithms, or learning processes.

No
This device is a chemical indicator strip used to monitor the concentration of glutaraldehyde in a disinfectant solution, not to treat or diagnose a medical condition.

No

Explanation: A diagnostic device is used to detect, diagnose, or monitor a medical condition in a patient. This device is designed to monitor the concentration of a high-level disinfectant and sterilant solution, not to diagnose a patient's medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a chemical indicator strip consisting of physical components (absorbent paper pad, reactive chemicals, polymer film), indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Browne Rapicide Glutaraldehyde Indicator is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The device is used to monitor the concentration of a disinfectant solution (glutaraldehyde) used for reprocessing medical instruments. It does not analyze a biological sample taken from a human body to diagnose, monitor, or treat a medical condition.
  • Device Description: It's a chemical indicator strip that reacts with the glutaraldehyde solution. This is consistent with a quality control or monitoring device for a chemical process, not a diagnostic test for a patient.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The description does not mention any interaction with human biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.).

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This device is used to assess the efficacy of a disinfectant, which is a process control for medical device reprocessing.

§ 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).
