Intended Use
The Celerity 20 Steam Biological Indicator is used for routine monitoring, qualification testing, load monitoring and product testing of the following steam sterilization cycles: - · Dynamic Air Removal 270°F (132°C) 4 minutes - · Dynamic Air Removal 275°F (135°C) 3 minutes - · Gravity 250°F (121°C) 30 minutes - · Gravity 270°F (132°C) 15 minutes. When used in conjunction with the Celerity™ Steam Incubator, the Incubator provides a fluorescent result within 20 minutes.
Device Description
The product is intended to monitor the critical parameters of steam sterilization cycles described in the indications for use by producing an optical change (signal) that is detected by the STERIS proprietary reader, Celerity Steam Incubator in 20 minutes to confirm the viability of the biological indicator at the end of a steam sterilization process. The product consists of a biological organism known to be resistant to steam (Geobacillus stearothermophilus) and a defined nutrient media. A reporter enzyme, which is produced by the native organism, reacts with a fluorogenic substrate within the defined nutrient media to produce a fluorescent moiety.

The device description and performance studies focus on a biological indicator and an incubator detecting a fluorescent signal, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is a biological indicator used to monitor the effectiveness of steam sterilization cycles, not to treat or diagnose a medical condition in a patient.

No

This device is a biological indicator used to monitor the effectiveness of steam sterilization cycles, not to diagnose a medical condition in a patient.

No

The device description clearly states the product consists of a biological organism and nutrient media, which are physical components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Celerity 20 Steam Biological Indicator is used to monitor the effectiveness of steam sterilization cycles for medical devices and other materials. It does this by detecting the viability of a resistant microorganism after the sterilization process.
  • No Human Samples: The device does not interact with or analyze samples taken from a human body. Its purpose is to assess the sterilization process itself, not to diagnose or monitor a patient's health.

Therefore, while it's a medical device used in healthcare settings, it falls under the category of sterilization process indicators rather than in vitro diagnostics.

§ 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).

Dear Tony Piotrkowski:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
