Intended Use
Use the 3M™ Attest™ Rapid Readout Biological Indicator 1295 in conjunction with the 3M Attest™ Auto reader 490H as a standard method of routine monitoring of vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization processes in the Amsco® V-PRO® maX Low Temperature Sterilization System (Lumen, and Flexible cycles), and in STERRAD® 100S, STERRAD® NX (Standard and Advanced cycles) and 100NX (Standard, Flex, Express and Duo cycles) systems.
Device Description
The 3M™ Attest™ Rapid Readout Biological Indicator 1295 is a self-contained biological indicator specifically designed for rapid and reliable routine monitoring of vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization processes when used in conjunction with the 3M™ Attest™ Auto-reader 490H. The 1295 BI is a single-use device composed of a polycarbonate sleeve containing a spore carrier and media ampoule, enclosed with a color-coded cap. A chemical process indicator printed with stripes which change from blue to pink upon exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide is located on the top of the cap. The 1295 BI utilizes the same fundamental technology that exists in current 3M™ Attest™ Rapid Readout and Super Rapid Readout BIs. The detection of fluorescence upon incubation of the 1295 BI in the 490H Auto-reader indicates a sterilization failure.

The device description clearly states it is a "single-use device composed of a polycarbonate sleeve containing a spore carrier and media ampoule, enclosed with a color-coded cap." This describes a physical, hardware-based biological indicator, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to monitor the effectiveness of sterilization processes for medical devices. It does not involve testing a sample taken from a human body to diagnose a disease or condition.
  • Device Description: The device contains spores and media to assess the sterilization process, not to analyze biological samples from a patient.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or other bodily fluids. There is no mention of diagnosing, monitoring, or treating a patient's health status based on a biological sample.

This device falls under the category of a sterilization process indicator, which is a different type of medical device than an IVD.

§ 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).
