The summary describes a biological indicator test pack for steam sterilization, which is a passive chemical and biological process. There is no mention of any computational analysis, image processing, or AI/ML terms.
No
The device is a biological test pack used to verify that sterilizing conditions in a steam sterilizer were met. It does not directly treat or diagnose a medical condition.
No
This device is a biological test pack used to verify the effectiveness of steam sterilizers, not to diagnose a medical condition in a patient.
No
The device description clearly states it consists of a physical biological indicator and packaging materials, which are hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for testing the effectiveness of steam sterilizers, specifically for surgical instruments and other items. This is a quality control process for sterilization equipment, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample from a patient to diagnose a disease or condition.
- Device Description: The device contains a biological indicator (bacteria) and chemical indicators within a test pack. It simulates a standard test pack used in sterilization validation. It does not analyze a patient sample (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing a biological sample from a patient.
- Providing information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition.
- Using reagents or assays to detect specific analytes in a sample.
This device falls under the category of a sterilization process indicator, which is used to monitor the effectiveness of sterilization cycles.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
SteriTec Smart Read Biological Test Pack with Instant Readout Integrator is designed specifically for testing of 3 or 4 minutes at 132°C (270°F) and 3 minutes at 135°C (275°F) in pre-vacuum steam sterilizers. The test pack consists of a self-contained biological indicator containing Geobacillus stearothermophilus inside a small package of porous and nonporous materials, simulating the biological indicator 16 towel test packs defined by AAMI ST79. When used as directed, the Chemical Indicator Record Card gives visible indication that sterilizing conditions were met.

§ 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).

Dear Mr. Rutigliano:
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.
