No
The device is a chemical indicator tape that changes color based on exposure to hydrogen peroxide sterilization. There is no mention of any computational or learning capabilities.
No.
The device is an indicator tape used to confirm sterilization processes, not to treat a disease or condition.
No.
Explanation: The device is a chemical indicator tape used to distinguish between processed and unprocessed units in sterilization cycles, indicating a successful sterilization process, rather than diagnosing a medical condition. It functions as a process indicator, not a diagnostic device.
No
The device is a physical indicator tape with a chemical coating, not a software program.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to secure items for sterilization and to indicate whether a sterilization process has occurred through a color change. This is a process indicator for sterilization, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
- Device Description: The device is a tape with a chemical indicator that reacts to hydrogen peroxide sterilization. It is described as a "Type 1 process indicator" according to a standard related to sterilization indicators.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), diagnosing a disease or condition, or providing information about a patient's health status.
Therefore, the VERIFY™ VH2O2 Indicator Tape is a sterilization process indicator, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The VERIFY™ VH2O2 Indicator Tape is intended to secure items wrapped in synthetic wrap materials until used and to distinguish between processed and unprocessed units through a color change from the start color (pink) to peach, yellow or lighter. The VERIFY™ VH2O2 Indicator Tape is also intended to be used as an external process indicator when applied to synthetic wrap materials and/or Tyvek pouches.
The tape may be used in the following sterilization cycles:
- Non Lumen, Flexible, Lumen and Fast Non Lumen Cycles of the V-PRO 1, 1 Plus, maX, 60 and maX 2 Sterlizers
- · Standard Cycle of the STERRAD® 100S Sterilizer

§ 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).

Since the VERIFY | VH2O2 Indicator Tape is identical to the predicate device, prior nonclinical testing (K160485) is referenced in this submission to support performance of the chemical indicator in accordance to the vapor-phased hydrogen peroxide, Type 1 chemical indicator requirements in ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11140-1:2014. Furthermore, since the proposed device is identical to the proposed device, testing was provided in K160485 addresses endpoint stability, light stability, biocompatibility and adhesion. To demonstrate that the CI performs appropriately according to the proposed device's expanded claims, performance was tested in the V-PRO maX 2's Fast Non Lumen Cycle with loads under simulated use conditions under pass and fail conditions. Shelf-life testing evaluated CI performance per ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11140-1:2014, endpoint color stability and tape adhesion after various times of storage within the labeled storage conditions. Table 5.3 summarizes the testing performed in the current submission.
Table 5.3 Summary of Nonclinical Tests:
| Test | Result |

| Simulated Use Testing in Fast Non Lumen Cycle | Pass |
| Stability Testing for 18 month Shelf Life | Pass |
6. Conclusion
Based on the intended uses, technological characteristics and non-clinical performance data, the subject device is as safe, as effective and perform at least as well as the legally marketed predicate device K160485, Class II (21 CFR 880.2800), product code JOJ.
