No
This device is designed to test the performance of steam sterilizers by detecting residual air, not to provide any therapeutic benefit to a patient.
No
Explanation: This device is designed to test the performance of steam sterilizers by detecting residual air, not to diagnose a medical condition in a patient. It is a quality control tool for medical equipment, not a diagnostic device for living organisms.
No
The device description clearly states it is a disposable device comprised of physical components like paper sheets, foam, a containment box/wrap, and chemical indicator labels/sheets, indicating it is a hardware-based device.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to detect the presence of residual air in pre-vacuum steam sterilizers. This is a quality control test for a medical device (the sterilizer), not a test performed on a biological specimen from a human or animal to provide information about a disease or condition.
- Device Description: The device is comprised of paper sheets, foam, and indicators. It is designed to be placed within a sterilizer.
- No mention of biological specimens: There is no mention of the device interacting with or analyzing any biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
- Purpose: The purpose is to verify the proper functioning of a sterilization process, which is a critical step in preventing the spread of infection, but the device itself is not used to diagnose or monitor a patient's health.
IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

PREDICATE DEVICE:
AirView™ Bowie Dick Test Pack and AirView™ Bowie Dick Indicator Sheets K041017
DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
The SPSmedical AirView™ Bowie Dick Test Pack is a disposable device which is intended for use as a replacement for the ANSI/AAMI ST79 Bowie Dick Test Pack. The SPSmedical AirView™ Bowie Dick Indicator Sheets are designed to be used within the ANSI/AAMI ST79 Bowie Dick test pack
INTENDED USE:
The SPSmedical AirView™ Bowie Dick Test Pack and AirView™ Bowie Dick Indicator Sheets are designed to detect the presence of residual air in pre-vacuum steam sterilizers operating at 134°C. The Bowie Dick test pack and indicator sheets are reliable tools used for the monitoring of air removal in steam pre-vacuum processes and provides a visual indication if residual air was left in the chamber during sterilization. Its internal indicator sheet changes to a uniform dark brown/black signal color under proper sterilization and air removal conditions. A failure would result in a nonuniform color change on the indicator sheet.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS:
The layers of paper within the SPSmedical AirView™ Bowie Dick Test Pack provide resistance to steam penetration and also trap air between them which is difficult for marginal performing prevacuum sterilizers to remove.
RECOMMENDED STORAGE CONDITIONS:
Store in a cool, dry place (15-30°C)

510(k) Summary (Continued)
INTERFERING SUBSTANCES OR CONDITIONS:
Testing verified that the indicators in their unprocessed form are not sensitive to an acidic or basic environment. Testing verified that the indicators in their processed form are not sensitive to an acidic or basic environment.
SHELF LIFE:
The Shelf Life of the SPSmedical AirView™ Bowie Dick Test Pack and AirView™ Bowie Dick Indicator Sheets shall be three (3) years from the date of manufacture, when stored in a cool, dry place (15-30°C)
BIOCOMPATIBILITY:
The purpose of a biocompatibility test is to demonstrate that the active ingredients of the chemical indicator do not release any substance known to be toxic onto surgical instruments. Although the SPSmedical AirView™ Bowie Dick Test Pack and AirView™ Bowie Dick Indicator Sheets are intended to be run in an empty chamber it was necessary to address this concern. Biocompatibility testing on the indicators concluded that the SPSmedical AirView™M Bowie Dick Test Pack and AirView™ Bowie Dick Indicator Sheets were non-toxic.
SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE ANALYSIS
SPSmedical has identified the AirView™ Bowje Dick Test Pack & AirView™ Bowie Dick Indicator Sheets (K041017) as the (primary) predicate device. We believe the predicate device to be substantially equivalent to the AirView™ Bowie Dick Test Pack & AirView™ Bowie Dick Indicator Sheets which is the subject of this submission in terms of their intended use and functional characteristics in determining the effectiveness of air removal in pre-vacuum steam sterilizers.
FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS:
The SPSmedical AirView™ Bowie Dick Test Pack and Air View™ Bowie Dick Indicator Sheets are designed to detect the presence of residual air in pre-vacuum steam sterilizers operating at 134°C. The layers of paper within the pack provide resistance to steam penetration and trap residual air which is difficult for marginal performing pre-vacuum sterilizers to remove. The pack is a reliable tool used for the monitoring of air removal in pre-vacuum steam sterilizers and provides a visual indication if residual air was left in the chamber during sterilization. The indicator sheet changes from its initial color to a uniform dark brown/black signal color under proper sterilization and air removal conditions. A failure would result in a non-uniform color change on the indicator sheet.
DISCUSSION:
SPSmedical is claiming substantial equivalence for its SPSmedical AirView™ Bowie Dick Test Pack and AirView™ Bowie Dick Indicator Sheets to the original AirView™ Bowie Dick Test Pack and AirView™ Bowie Dick Indicator Sheets (K041017) based on test data obtained during validation studies. We have demonstrated with testing that the SPSmedical AirView™ Bowie Dick Test Pack and AirView™ Bowie Dick Indicator Sheets perform consistently with results which indicate that the indicator is sensitive enough to detect when enough air is left within the sterilizer chamber to create a 2°C or greater temperature difference in the test pack as compared to the sterilizer chamber when running pre-vacuum sterilization at 134°C. Under these conditions, the indicator sheet would demonstrate a non-uniform color change. The SPSmedical AirView™ Bowie Dick Test Pack and AirView™ Bowie Dick Indicator Sheets are also comparable to other commercially available Bowie Dick test packs cleared by the FDA. See examples of similarly cleared devices in Tab 8.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE CONCLUSIONS:
The SPSmedical AirView™ Bowie Dick Test Pack and AirView™ Bowie Dick Indicator Sheets have the same intended use and characteristics as the primary predicate device (K041017). They both provide a visual indication that proper air removal and steam penetration conditions have been met within the sterilizer's chamber. Both products are comprised of paper sheets, foam, a containment box or wrap, external chemical indicator label and printed indicator sheet.
SPSmedical believes that the SPSmedical AirView™ Bowie Dick Test Pack and AirView™ Bowie Dick Indicator Sheets are substantially equivalent to the predicate device because it has the same intended use, technical characteristics and performance. Because the ability to perform its intended function as been shown through validated testing, the SPSmedical AirView™ Bowie Dick Test Pack and AirView™ Bowie Dick Indicator Sheets raise no issues related to safety or effectiveness and therefore, the device should be allowed for market in the United states. See Table 1 below for a substantial equivalence comparison.
