Dana reusable challenge test pack is designed to challenge steam sterilization process in healthcare facilities. It is intended to be used for routine monitoring of pre-vacuum steam sterilization cycles. It is validated to be used in 4 minute 270°F pre-vacuum steam sterilization cycles with SteriScan Integrators.
Reusable SteriScan Integrator Test Pack for Steam
This document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for a medical device (Reusable SteriScan Integrator Test Pack for Steam Sterilization). It does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria.
The letter explicitly states: "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..."
This means the device was cleared based on its substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not on a new study demonstrating its performance against specific acceptance criteria. The FDA determined that the new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device, therefore a detailed performance study as you've requested is typically not included or required for a 510(k) clearance.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information from the given input.
§ 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).
