Intended Use
The VERIFY® V24 Self-Contained Biological Indicator is intended for routine monitoring of the following sterilizers and cycles: - · Non Lumen, Flexible, Lumen and Fast Non Lumen Cycles of the V-PRO 1, 1 Plus, maX, 60 and maX 2 Sterilizers - · Standard Cycle of the STERRAD® 100S Sterilizer - · Standard and Advanced Cycles of the STERRAD® NX Sterilizer - · Express, Flex Scope and Standard Cycles of the STERRAD® 100 NX Sterilizer The VERIFY V24 Challenge Pack is intended for qualification testing of the V-PRO 1 Plus, V-PRO maX, V-PRO maX 2 and V-PRO 60 Low Temperature Sterilization Systems following installation, relocation, malfunctions or major repairs. The VERIFY V24 Challenge Pack is placed in an otherwise empty sterilizer chamber; a hospital-defined challenge load is not included. The VERIFY V24 Challenge Pack is not intended for routine monitoring of V-PRO Sterilizers. It has been tested and validated solely for use in periodic testing the Sterilizers.
Device Description
The VERIFY V24 Self-Contained Biological Indicator (SCBI) is used by healthcare facilites to monitor the V-PRO® Low Temperature Sterilization Systems. It is designed to accompany medical devices placed in the sterilizer. The user places the VERIFY V24 Self-Contained Biological Indicator into the V-PRO Low Temperature Sterilization System and performs a sterilization cycle. After cycle completion, the VERIFY V24 Self-Contained Biological Indicator can either be immediately activated or it can be held at room temperature for a maximum of 72 hours (3 days) prior to activation. The VERIFY V24 Self-Contained Biological Indicator is activated by sealing the vial and rupturing the medium ampoule using the STERIS VERIFY SCBI HP activator. The activator automatically seals the VERIFY V24 Self-Contained Biological Indicator vial and releases the growth media. The activated SCBI is incubated at 55-60°C for ≥ 24 hours. The VERIFY V24 Self-Contained Biological Indicator indicates a pass if the media remains orange and non-turbid. The VERIFY V24 Self-Contained Biological Indicator indicates a failure of sterilization if the media changes from orange to yellow and/or if the media is turbid. The VERIFY V24 Challenge Pack is used by healthcare facilities for qualification testing of the V-PRO Low Temperature Sterilization Systems following installation, relocations, malfunctions or major repairs. The challenge pack is placed in an otherwise empty sterilizer chamber; a hospital defined challenge load is not included. The user places the VERIFY V24 Challenge Pack into the V-PRO Low Temperature Sterilization System and performs a sterilization cycle. After cycle completion, the VERIFY HPU Chemical Indicator (CI) and the VERIFY V24 Self-Contained Biological Indicator (SCBI) contained in the challenge pack are retrieved. The CI is assessed for a passing color change immediately and the SCBI can either be immediately activated or it can be held at room temperature for a maximum of 72 hours (3 days) prior to activation. The SCBI is activated by sealing the vial and rupturing the medium ampoule using the STERIS VERIFY SCBI HP activator. The activator automatically seals the SCBI vial and releases the growth media. The activated SCBI is incubated at 55-60°C for ≥ 24 hours. The SCBI indicates a pass if the media remains orange and non-turbid. The SCBI indicates a failure of sterilization if the media changes from orange to yellow and/or if the media is turbid.
More Information

Not Found

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

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

No

The device is a biological indicator used to monitor the effectiveness of sterilization cycles and for qualification testing of sterilization systems. It assesses the performance of a sterilizing process, rather than diagnosing a medical condition in a patient.

No

The device description clearly indicates a physical biological indicator (SCBI) and a challenge pack, which are hardware components used in sterilization monitoring.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for monitoring and qualification testing of sterilization cycles in medical device sterilizers. It is used to assess the effectiveness of the sterilization process, not to diagnose a condition or disease in a patient.
  • Device Description: The description details how the biological indicator works by detecting the survival of bacterial spores after a sterilization cycle. A color change in the growth media indicates whether the sterilization was successful. This is a quality control measure for the sterilization equipment, not a diagnostic test on a biological sample from a patient.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention analyzing human biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.

Therefore, the VERIFY® V24 Self-Contained Biological Indicator and Challenge Pack are devices used in the sterilization process of medical equipment, not for in vitro diagnostic purposes.

3. Description of Device

The VERIFY V24 Self-Contained Biological Indicator (SCBI) is used by healthcare facilites to monitor the V-PRO® Low Temperature Sterilization Systems. It is designed to accompany medical devices placed in the sterilizer.

The user places the VERIFY V24 Self-Contained Biological Indicator into the V-PRO Low Temperature Sterilization System and performs a sterilization cycle. After cycle completion, the VERIFY V24 Self-Contained Biological Indicator can either be immediately activated or it can be held at room temperature for a maximum of 72 hours (3 days) prior to activation.

The VERIFY V24 Self-Contained Biological Indicator is activated by sealing the vial and rupturing the medium ampoule using the STERIS VERIFY SCBI HP activator. The activator automatically seals the VERIFY V24 Self-Contained Biological Indicator vial and releases the growth media.

The activated SCBI is incubated at 55-60°C for ≥ 24 hours. The VERIFY V24 Self-Contained Biological Indicator indicates a pass if the media remains orange and non-turbid. The VERIFY V24 Self-Contained Biological Indicator indicates a failure of sterilization if the media changes from orange to yellow and/or if the media is turbid.
