The device description and performance studies indicate a simple chemical indicator test strip, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
No
This device is a chemical indicator test strip used to determine the concentration of a disinfectant solution, not to treat or diagnose a medical condition in a patient.
No
This device is a chemical indicator test strip designed to determine the concentration of orthophthalaldehyde in a medical solution, not to diagnose a medical condition in a patient.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical test strip made of a chemically treated pad affixed to a polystyrene strip, indicating it is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, the Serim® DISINTEK™ OPA Test Strip is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used to determine the concentration of orthophthalaldehyde in a solution (Metricide OPA Plus Solution). This is a chemical analysis performed in vitro (outside of a living organism) on a sample (the disinfectant solution).
- Device Description: The description details a reagent test strip designed to detect a specific chemical (OPA). This aligns with the nature of IVD devices used for chemical analysis.
- Comparison to Predicate Device: The performance studies compare the device to a "Metricide OPA Plus Solution Test Strip" (K070419). This predicate device is also likely an IVD used for similar testing of disinfectant solutions.
While the document doesn't explicitly use the term "IVD," the intended use and device description strongly indicate that it falls under the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, as it is used to perform a test on a sample in vitro to provide information relevant to the use of a medical product (the disinfectant solution).
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Serim® DISINTEK™ OPA Test Strip is a chemical indicator for use in determining whether the concentration of orthophthalaldehyde, the active ingredient in Metricidc OPA Plus Solution, is above or below the minimum effective concentration (MEC) established for Metricide OPA Plus Solution.

§ 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).

Technological Characteristics: The Serim DISINTEK OPA Test Strips contains two reacting chemicals, a stabilizer, and other non-reacting ingredients. The reaction process involved with the test strip is based on a two step reaction. The first step involves a reaction in which a chemical at a concentration equivalcnt to 0.3% OPA (MEC) reacts with the OPA to form a colorless product. A second reaction then occurs in which OPA at levels above 0.3% reacts with a second chemical to form a colored compound, resulting in green color. The test pad size of 0.4" x 0.4" allows for easy interpretation of the change in color. The device will reliably indicate if the OPA concentration is above or below the MEC level of 0.3% OPA.
- Performance: The performance of the Serim DISINTEK OPA Test Strips was evaluated in split samples blind studies and compared to test results obtained with Metricide OPA Plus Solution Test Strips. The performance of the Serim DISINTEK OPA Test Strips is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Metricide OPA Plus Solution Test Strips.
- Conclusion: The Serim DISINTEK OPA Test Strips have the same intended use as the predicate device. Both test strips measure the potency of OPA in Metricide OPA Plus Solution, above or below the Minimum Effective Concentration of 0.3%. The Serim DISINTEK OPA Test Strips do not raise any new safety or effectiveness issues.

Dear Ms. Rupchock:
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.
