The device is a simple chemical indicator that changes color based on exposure to steam sterilization parameters, with no mention of AI or ML in its description or performance studies.
No
The description states it is a process indicator that undergoes a visual color change to verify steam sterilization cycle parameters, not to treat or diagnose a medical condition.
No
This device is a process indicator used to verify steam sterilization cycle parameters, not to diagnose a medical condition in a patient.
No
The device description explicitly states it is composed of "a single ink printed on polyethylene terephthalate," which are physical components, not software.
Based on the provided information, the STERIS STEAM n is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to indicate whether specific steam sterilization cycle parameters have been met through a visual color change. This is a quality control measure for sterilization processes, not a test performed on biological samples to diagnose a condition or provide information about a patient's health.
- Device Description: The device is a simple chemical indicator printed on plastic. It does not involve the analysis of biological specimens.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Testing of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions
- Providing information about a patient's health status
- Use in a laboratory or clinical setting for patient testing
Instead, the device is clearly described as a process indicator used to verify the effectiveness of a sterilization cycle. This falls under the category of devices used in the healthcare setting for quality control and assurance, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Performance testing was conducted to verify that the proposed STERIS STEAM π meets the requirements for process [Class 1] indicators as defined in ANSI/AAMI ISO 11140-1:2005 using a resistometer to ANSI/AAMI ISO 18472. The data provided by this testing demonstrates that the proposed STERIS STEAM π device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

§ 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).

Description of Safety and Substantial Equivalence ട.
The proposed and predicate devices are both single use indicators for use in steam sterilization cycles. The differences between the proposed STERIS STEAM n Indicators and the predicate device are limited to differences in general design of the ink and material. However, these differences do not affect the intended use, performance characteristics, nor do the differences raise any new issues of safety and efficacy.
