Intended Use
The STERRAD® CYCLESURE® Biological Indicator is intended to be used as a standard method for frequent monitoring of the following STERRAD® Sterilization Systems and Cycles: | MODEL | CYCLE | |----------------|----------| | STERRAD® 100S | Standard | | STERRAD® 50 | Standard | | STERRAD® 200 | Standard | | STERRAD® NX™ | Standard | | | Advanced | | STERRAD®100NX™ | Flex | | | EXPRESS |
Device Description
The STERRAD® CYCLESURE® 24 Biological Indicator is a self-contained standalone biological monitor intended for the routine monitoring of the STERRAD® Sterilization Process. It consists of a glass fiber disc containing a minimum of 1x10° 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.

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

No
The device is a biological indicator used to monitor the effectiveness of sterilization processes for medical devices, not for treating any medical condition or directly benefiting a patient's health.

No

Explanation: This device is a biological indicator used to monitor the effectiveness of sterilization processes for medical devices, not to diagnose a patient's medical condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a glass fiber disc, glass ampoule, cap, liner, and chemical indicator, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the STERRAD® CYCLESURE® Biological Indicator is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to monitor the effectiveness of a sterilization process (STERRAD® Sterilization Systems). It is used to determine if the sterilization cycle has successfully killed microorganisms.
  • Device Description: The device contains bacterial spores and a growth medium. Its function is to indicate whether the spores have been inactivated by the sterilization process.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: IVD devices are intended to diagnose diseases, conditions, or states of health in humans, or to monitor treatments. This device does not perform any diagnostic function related to a patient's health. It is a quality control tool for a sterilization process.

Therefore, while it involves biological components and testing, its purpose is not for in vitro diagnosis of a human condition.

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

Testing was previously submitted in support of the substantial equivalence of the modified STERRAD® CYCLESURE® 24 Biological Indicator to the predicate STERRAD® CycleSure® Biological Indicator device. Both devices have same intended use, same technological characteristics, same operating principles, and utilize the same sterilant (hydrogen peroxide).

Additional testing was conducted to confirm that the STERRAD® CYCLESURE® 24 Biological Indicator performs as intended when used with the STERRAD® 100NX" Express Cycle.

§ 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).
