Intended Use
The STERRAD® CYCLESURE® 24 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.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on biological and chemical indicators, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
The device is a biological indicator used to monitor the effectiveness of sterilization systems, not to directly treat a patient or disease.

No

This device is a biological indicator used to monitor the effectiveness of sterilization processes, not to diagnose medical conditions in patients.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical biological indicator consisting of a glass fiber disc, glass ampoule, cap, liner, and chemical indicator. It is a hardware device used for monitoring sterilization processes.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The device is intended to be used as a "standard method for frequent monitoring of the following STERRAD® Sterilization Systems and Cycles." Monitoring the effectiveness of a sterilization process is a diagnostic function, specifically assessing whether the process has successfully eliminated microorganisms.
  • Device Description: The description details a "self-contained standalone biological monitor" containing bacterial spores and growth medium. This setup is designed to determine if viable spores remain after the sterilization process, which is a direct diagnostic test for sterilization efficacy.
  • Performance Studies: The studies performed, such as "BI Validation in the STERRAD® Sterilization Systems (Dose Response)" and "Spore Resistance Testing," are focused on evaluating the biological indicator's ability to accurately reflect the sterilization process's effectiveness. This aligns with the testing and validation expected for an IVD used to monitor a critical process like sterilization.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device with the same name and K number (K103222) strongly suggests that this device is regulated as an IVD. Medical devices with K numbers are typically cleared by regulatory bodies like the FDA, and biological indicators used for sterilization monitoring are commonly classified as IVDs.

While the document doesn't explicitly state "In Vitro Diagnostic," the intended use, device description, and performance studies clearly indicate that this device is used to perform a diagnostic test (determining the presence or absence of viable microorganisms) outside of the human body to assess the effectiveness of a sterilization process. This fits the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

Testing was conducted to confirm that the STERRAD® CYCLESURE® 24 Biological Indicator performs as intended when used with the STERRRAD® Sterilization Systems. The following tests were performed:

Studies PerformedResults
EvaporationPassed
Verification of Positive BI ColorPassed
BacteriostasisPassed
BI Validation in the STERRAD® Sterilization Systems
(Dose Response)Passed
Verification of Minimum Incubation TimePassed
Growth PromotionPassed
Spore Resistance TestingPassed

Performance testing demonstrated that the modified STERRAD® CYCLESURE® 24 Biological Indicator is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (K103222) because they have the same intended use, the same technological characteristics, the same operating principles, and are exposed to the same sterilant (hydrogen peroxide).

§ 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).
