None

No
The description details a chemical indicator that changes visually based on temperature and time exposure, with no mention of computational analysis, algorithms, or learning.

No
The device is an emulating indicator used to verify that steam sterilization conditions were met, not to treat a medical condition or perform a medical function on a patient.

No
This device, a Dana Emulating Indicator, is used to verify that steam sterilization conditions are met, indicating the sterilizer is functioning correctly. It does not diagnose a medical condition in a patient but rather assesses the performance of a medical device (a sterilizer).

No

The device description is not found, but the intended use describes a physical indicator ("dark bar will travel along the window") that responds to steam sterilization conditions. This indicates a hardware component, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Dana Emulating Indicator's Function: The Dana Emulating Indicator is used to monitor the effectiveness of a steam sterilization process. It does not interact with or analyze human specimens. Its purpose is to indicate whether the physical conditions (temperature and time) required for sterilization were met within a sterilizer.

Therefore, the Dana Emulating Indicator falls under the category of a sterilization process indicator, not an IVD.

§ 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).
