Intended Use
The STERRAD® CYCLESURE® 24 Biological Indicator is intended to be used as a standard method for frequent monitoring of the STERRAD® Sterilizer cycles.
Device Description
STERRAD® CYCLESURE® 24 Biological Indicator is a self-contained stand-alone biological monitor intended for the routine monitoring of the STERRAD® Sterilization Process. It consists of a glass fiber disc containing a minimum of 108 CFU of Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores, a glass ampoule containing nutrient growth medium, a cap and liner closing the vial and a chemical indicator on top of the cap. The cap contains two small circular openings that allow for diffusion of hydrogen peroxide vapor into the vial. The relatively small size of the circular openings serves as a restriction to this diffusion.

The device description and performance studies focus on a biological indicator for sterilization monitoring, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No.
This device is a biological indicator used for monitoring sterilizer cycles, not for treating a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: This device is a biological indicator used to monitor the effectiveness of sterilization cycles, not to diagnose a medical condition in a patient.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (glass fiber disc, glass ampoule, cap, liner, chemical indicator) and a biological component (spores), indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the STERRAD® CYCLESURE® 24 Biological Indicator is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "monitor the STERRAD® Sterilizer cycles." This monitoring is done to assess the effectiveness of the sterilization process, which is a critical step in preventing the transmission of infectious agents. While not directly diagnosing a patient's condition, it is a diagnostic tool used to evaluate the performance of a process that impacts patient safety.
  • Device Description: The device contains biological material (bacterial spores) and a growth medium. The principle of operation involves exposing these spores to the sterilization process and then incubating them to see if they grow. This is a classic in vitro method for assessing the effectiveness of a sterilization process.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described (Evaporation, Bacteriostasis, Growth Promotion, etc.) are all related to the biological and chemical properties of the device and its ability to accurately indicate whether sterilization has occurred. These are typical performance characteristics evaluated for IVDs used in quality control or monitoring.
  • Predicate Device: The predicate device is also a biological indicator used for monitoring sterilization cycles, further supporting the classification as an IVD.

While the device doesn't directly analyze a patient sample, it falls under the broader definition of an IVD as it is used in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about the effectiveness of a process (sterilization) that directly impacts patient care and safety. It's a diagnostic tool for the sterilization process itself.

Device Description

STERRAD® CYCLESURE® 24 Biological Indicator is a self-contained stand-alone biological monitor intended for the routine monitoring of the STERRAD® Sterilization Process. It consists of a glass fiber disc containing a minimum of 10^8 CFU of Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores, a glass ampoule containing nutrient growth medium, a cap and liner closing the vial and a chemical indicator on top of the cap. The cap contains two small circular openings that allow for diffusion of hydrogen peroxide vapor into the vial. The relatively small size of the circular openings serves as a restriction to this diffusion.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The testing conducted demonstrated that our modified STERRAD® CYCLESURE® 24 Biological Indicator device is substantially equivalent to the predicate, unmodified STERRAD® CycleSure® Biological Indicator device. The devices share the same intended use, utilize the same technology (hydrogen peroxide as sterilant), exhibit the same performance characteristics and those characteristics have been verified using the same test methods for both devices.

§ 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).
