No.
Explanation: The device is intended for testing the efficacy of prevacuum steam sterilizers, not for treating a disease or condition in a patient.
No
Explanation: This device is designed to test the efficacy of prevacuum steam sterilizers by detecting residual air, not to diagnose a medical condition in a patient. It is a quality control tool for sterilization equipment.
No
The device is a physical test pack containing paper layers and a chemical indicator, not software.
Based on the provided text, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "daily air removal efficacy testing of prevacuum steam sterilizers." This is a test performed in vitro (outside of a living organism) to assess the performance of a medical device (the sterilizer).
- Functionality: The device's function is to "detect the presence of residual air in prevacuum steam sterilizers." This is a diagnostic test of the sterilizer's function.
- Scientific Concepts: It describes the test as a "means of detecting air leaks... poor air removal and subsequent steam penetration." This further emphasizes its diagnostic purpose for the sterilizer.
- Performance Characteristics: The performance studies focus on how the device performs in detecting the specified conditions within the sterilizer, which is a key aspect of IVD validation.
While the device itself isn't directly testing a biological sample from a patient, it is performing a diagnostic test on a medical device (the sterilizer) that is crucial for ensuring the safety of medical instruments used on patients. This falls under the scope of IVD devices.

Device Description
Functionality-The AirView™ II Bowie Dick Test Pack is designed for routine testing of 134°C ' (273°F) prevacuum steam sterilizers. The Bowie Dick test is part of the daily release criteria for any prevacuum steam sterilizer. It may also be used after sterilizer installation, relocation, malfunction, after major repairs and after sterilization process failures. The AirView™M II Bowie Dick Test Pack should always be run in an empty chamber.
Scientific Concepts-The Bowie Dick Test should be run only after the chamber has been preheated. It is a means of detecting air leaks in gaskets or chamber piping, poor air removal and subsequent steam penetration. The AirView™ II Bowie Dick Test Pack has proven safe and effective as a replacement for the standard Bowie Dick Towel Pack through validated performance testing.
Physical Characteristics-The AirView™ II Bowie Dick Test Pack consists of layers of paper with an air removal indicator placed in the center of the stack all placed within an exterior containment box. A process indicator label placed on the containment box alerts users if a pack has been exposed to the sterilization process. The approximate dimensions of the pack are 3-3/4" x 5/8" x 5". The air removal indicator within the AirView™ II Bowie Dick Test Pack should be retained as a permanent record while the remainder of the pack can be discarded with regular waste according to local legislation, recycling land filling or incineration. None of the AirView™ II Bowie Dick Test Packs components are made from lead.
Performance Characteristics-The AirView™ II Bowie Dick Test Pack performs substantially equivalent to the AAMI Standard Towel Pack when tested in conformance with the FDA guidance document for Chemical Indicators and ANSI/AAM1/ISO 11140-5.
The outer box and layers of paper within the AirView™ II Bowie Dick Test Pack provide resistance to air removal and subsequent steam penetration of prevacuum steam sterilizers. The air removal indicator sheet within the pack offers clear evidence of sterilizer performance. The external process indicator alerts users when a pack has seen the sterilization process.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Validation of the AirView™ II Bowie Dick Test Pack included performance testing in steam and dry heat, porosity of the indicator material, biocompatibility, and interfering substances (acid/base) on multiple lots of indicators. All results from testing meet the predetermined acceptance criteria. All testing followed the FDA Guidance document for Industry and FDA Staff entitled, "Premarket Notification [510(k)] Submissions for Chemical Indicators," issued on December 19, 2003.
Performance Steam - The cycle selected for validation is the commonly used prevacuum Bowie Dick cycle of 134°C for 3.5 minutes exposure. Pass cycles consisted of an air removal phase drawing a complete vacuum. The temperature limits were 0.5℃ or less within the test pack when compared to the drain temperature during the exposure phase. Fail cycles utilized a modified air removal phase as allowed by the FDA guidance document to achieve the standard fault condition. By not completely removing the air from the chamber the residual air becomes entrapped within the test pack and creates a 2-3℃ lower temperature in the center of the test pack when compared to the drain at the start of the last minute of the exposure phase. The results from testing demonstrated that the AirView™ II Bowie Dick Test Pack turns a uniform dark brown/black color when subjected to the standard pass cycle and turns a non-uniform color when subjected to the standard fault condition.
Performance Dry Heat-Results from dry heat testing demonstrated that the indicators require the presence of steam molecules in order to turn to their specified endpoint color.
Indicator Porosity-Results documented the porosity of the indicator material which meet the predetermined acceptance criteria.
Biocompatibility-Although the AirView™ II Bowie Dick Test Pack is intended to be run in an empty chamber SPSmedical and Crosstex International decided to run biocompatibility testing to address concerns of leaching. Biocompatibility testing concluded the indicators to be non-toxic.
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-When properly stored the AirView™ II Bowie Dick Test Pack maintains a shelf life of three (3) years from the date of manufacture. The expiration date is located on every pack. Post processing indicator stability has been documented to exceed two (2) years when properly stored.

COMPARISON OF INDICATIONS FOR USE (IFU):
Predicate Device-The AirView™ Bowie Dick Test Pack and AirView™ Bowie Dick indicator sheets are designed to detect the presence of residual air in prevacuum steam sterilizers. When tested in a prevacuum sterilizer operating at 134℃ the indicator will demonstrate a uniform color change from cream or blue to dark brown/black when proper sterilization conditions have been met and no air is detected. It is designed to be used for daily Bowie Dick testing of steam sterilizers as described in ANSI/AAMI ST79.
Subject Device-The AirView" II Bowie Dick Test Pack is designed to detect the presence of residual air in pre-vacuum steam sterilizers operating at 134℃ for 3.5 minutes. The indicator sheet within the AirView" II Bowie Dick Test Pack will demonstrate a uniform color change from blue to dark brown/black when proper sterilization conditions are met and no air is present. If enough air is present to create a 2°C (+1°/-0°C) temperature difference between the center of the towel pack, as identified in ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11140-5, and the drain temperature at the beginning of the final one minute of a three and half minute cycle the AirView™ II Bowie Dick Test Pack will demonstrate a non-uniform color change.
Discussion-When compared to the predicate device the subject device has a similar IFU. They are made of similar package materials, they have the same intended use and they meet the same performance requirements.
DESIGN DIFFERENCES PREDICATE VS. SUBJECT DEVICE:
As stated in Table I both devices are Bowie Dick Test Packs. There are two (2) variations in the design of the packs. First, the subject device is smaller in size than the predicate and secondly, the subject device does not require the use of a foam insert within the pack. These differences do not change the Intended Use of the device.
FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS:
The AirView™ II Bowie Dick Test Pack is designed to detect the presence of residual air in prevacuum steam sterilizers. The layers of paper within the pack provide resistance to steam penetration and trap residual air which is difficult for marginally performing prevacuum sterilizers to remove. The pack is a reliable tool used for the daily monitoring of air removal in prevacuum steam sterilizers and provides a clear visual indication if residual air was left in the chamber during sterilization. The indicator sheet changes from its initial color (blue or cream) 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.

510(k) Summary (Continued)
DISCUSSION:
SPSmedical is claiming substantial equivalence for its. AirView™ II Bowie Dick Test Pack to the AirView™ Bowie Dick Test Pack and AirView™ Bowie Dick Indicator Sheets (K130211) based on test data obtained during validation studies.
We have demonstrated with testing that the AirView™ II Bowie Dick Test Pack performs 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 prevacuum Bowie Dick cycles. Under these conditions. the indicator sheet would demonstrate a non-uniform color change. The AirView™M II Bowie Dick Test Pack is also comparable to other commercially available Bowie Dick test packs cleared by the FDA.
SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE CONCLUSIONS:
The AirView™ II Bowie Dick Test Pack has the same intended use and characteristics as the primary predicate device (K13021). 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, a containment box, external chemical indicator label and printed indicator sheet.
Because the ability to perform its intended function has been shown through validated testing, the SPSmedical AirView™ II Bowie Dick Test Pack raises no issues related to safety or effectiveness. See Table I for a substantial equivalence comparison. SPSmedical believes that the SPSmedical AirView™ II Bowie Dick Test Pack is substantially equivalent to the predicate device because it has the same intended use, technical characteristics and performance.
