Intended Use
Use the Attest 1296V Rapid Readout Steam and 41382V Rapid Readout Steam-Plus Process Challenge Devices to monitor 132°C (270°F) dynamic-air-removal (prevacuum) steam sterilization cycles with exposure time of 4 minutes.
Device Description
The 3M™ Attest™ 1296V Rapid Readout Steam and 41382V Rapid Readout Steam-Plus Process Challenge Devices (PCDs) are specifically designed to be used in healthcare facilities to routinely challenge 270°F (132°C) dynamic-air-removal (prevacuum) steam sterilization cycles with exposure time of 4 minutes. The changes from the predicate device include an optimization of the PCD for prevacuum steam cycles and a replacement of the biological indicator (BI) from one based on a visual color change growth readout to one based on a fluorescence readout. The PCD consists of multiple layers of medical index cards, some of which are die-cut to contain monitoring products. The pack is overwrapped and secured with a label. A sheet of moisture absorbent material (absorbent pad) is placed over the wrapped PCD pack, and then the PCD pack is placed in a vented film pouch as the fully-assembled PCD sold to the customer. This construction regulates air removal and steam penetration and presents a challenge to better monitor multiple pulse vacuum-assisted steam cycles. Each Attest 1296V Rapid Readout Steam PCD is supplied with a 1292 Rapid Readout biological indicator, which contain bacterial endospores of Geobacillus stearothermophilus. The Attest 41382V Rapid Readout Steam-Plus PCD is supplied with a 1292 Rapid Readout biological indicator and one SteriGage chemical integrator. Each PCD has a chemical process indicator on the outside of the PCD that changes from vellow to dark brown/black when exposed to steam. In addition, there is a chemical process indicator on the Attest BI that changes color from rose to brown when exposed to steam. The Attest Rapid Readout biological indicator is specifically designed for a rapid fluorescent readout when used in conjunction with the 3MTM Attest™ Auto-reader. A fluorescence change indicates a steam sterilization process failure. Attest Rapid Readout biological indicator controls are provided with the PCD.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on biological and chemical indicators for sterilization monitoring, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.

This device is designed to monitor the effectiveness of sterilization cycles, not to directly treat or diagnose a medical condition in a patient.

Yes

The device, a Process Challenge Device (PCD), monitors steam sterilization cycles and indicates process failures through color changes in chemical indicators and a fluorescence readout from a biological indicator. This monitoring for process failures is a form of diagnosis for the sterilization equipment.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like medical index cards, absorbent material, a vented film pouch, biological indicators, and chemical process indicators. It is a physical device used to challenge steam sterilization cycles.

Based on the provided information, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The device is used to "monitor 132°C (270°F) dynamic-air-removal (prevacuum) steam sterilization cycles". This monitoring is done by assessing the effectiveness of the sterilization process.
  • Device Description: The device contains a "biological indicator (BI)" which uses "bacterial endospores of Geobacillus stearothermophilus". The "fluorescence readout" of the biological indicator "indicates a steam sterilization process failure". This involves testing a biological sample (the bacterial endospores) to determine the outcome of a process (sterilization).
  • Mechanism of Action: The biological indicator is designed for a "rapid fluorescent readout when used in conjunction with the 3MTM Attest™ Auto-reader". This readout is a diagnostic test performed on the biological indicator to assess the sterilization process.

While the device itself is a "Process Challenge Device" used within a sterilization cycle, its core function relies on an in vitro diagnostic test (the biological indicator and its readout) to determine the effectiveness of that cycle. The biological indicator is a key component that performs a diagnostic function by indicating the presence or absence of viable microorganisms after the sterilization process.

Dear Dr. Leung:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please go to

http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/CDRH/CDRHOffices/ucm115809.htm for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to

http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
