SteriTec Green Tape can be used in 121°C gravity sterilizers for 30 minutes or pre-vacuum sterilizers operating at 132°C for 4 minutes and 135°C for 3 minutes. Stripes turn black after exposure to steam sterlization conditions, thus providing identification of processed items.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document {0-2} describes the FDA 510(k) clearance for the SteriTec Green Tape, Model No: CI 159/1, CI 159/.5, CI 159/.75. This document focuses on the regulatory approval process and includes an "Indications for Use" section.

However, the document does not contain the detailed information necessary to answer the specific questions about acceptance criteria, device performance studies, sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or ground truth establishment for a diagnostic AI/medical imaging device.

The SteriTec Green Tape is a sterilization process indicator, which is a chemical indicator designed to demonstrate that an item has been exposed to a sterilization process. It's not a diagnostic device involving complex algorithms, image analysis, or human reader interpretation in the way your questions are framed (e.g., radiologists, AI assistance).

Therefore, I cannot provide a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance from this document for the type of device you envision. The information you are requesting is typically found in pre-market submission summaries for more complex diagnostic devices, not for a chemical sterilization indicator.

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 Eederal Register.

§ 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).
