Intended Use
The CELERITY 20 HP Challenge Pack is intended for qualification testing of the V-PRO Low Temperature Sterilization System following installation, relocation, malfunctions or major repairs and for routine requalification testing. The Challenge Pack is placed in an otherwise empty sterilizer chamber; a hospital-defined challenge load is not included. The challenge pack is not intended for routine monitoring of the V-PRO Sterilizers. It has been tested and validated solely for use in periodic testing of the sterilizers.
Device Description
The CELERITY 20 HP Challenge Pack (pack), is used by healthcare providers for qualification testing of the V-PRO Low Temperature Sterilization Systems. The pack is placed in an otherwise empty sterilizer chamber; a hospital-defined challenge load is not included. The user places the pack into the V-PRO Sterilizer and performs a sterilization cycle. After cycle completion, the VERIFY HPU Chemical Indicator (CI) and the CELERITY 20 HP Biological Indicator* (BI) contained in the pack are retrieved. The CI is assessed for a passing color change immediately and the BI 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 BI is activated by sealing the vial and thus puncturing the cap to release the contained media. The activated SCBI is incubated at 55-60 ℃ in the CELERITY HP Incubator** for a final determination of viability within 20 minutes of incubation.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical components and biological/chemical indicators used for sterilization qualification testing. There is no mention of AI or ML in the text.

No

The device is intended for qualification and requalification testing of sterilization systems, not for treating any medical condition or patient.

No

Explanation: The device is used for qualification testing of sterilization systems to ensure they are working properly, not for diagnosing a medical condition in a patient.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (pack, chemical indicator, biological indicator, vial, media) and a required hardware component for incubation (CELERITY HP Incubator). It is not solely software.

Based on the provided text, the CELERITY 20 HP Challenge Pack is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for qualification and requalification testing of a sterilization system (V-PRO Low Temperature Sterilization System). It's a quality control tool for the sterilizer itself, not for diagnosing a condition in a patient or analyzing a biological sample from a patient.
  • Device Description: The device contains a chemical indicator and a biological indicator. These are used to assess the effectiveness of the sterilization process, not to perform a diagnostic test on a patient sample. The biological indicator is incubated to see if the sterilization process killed the microorganisms, which is a measure of the sterilizer's performance.
  • 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 in a patient.

In summary, the CELERITY 20 HP Challenge Pack is a sterilization process indicator used to verify the performance of a medical device sterilizer. This falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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).
