Intended Use
The Celerity 10 STEAM Chemical Indicator is intended for use in dynamic air removal steam sterilization cycles operating at 270°F/132°C for 10 minutes. The Celerity 10 STEAM Chemical Indicator that changes colors from yellow to blue/purple when exposed to these cycle conditions.
Device Description
The Celerity 10 STEAM Chemical Indicators are Type 6 emulating indicators. Type 6 indicators are cycle verification indicators which are designed to react to all critical variables for specific sterilization cycles. They are designed to be placed in the center of each pack (e.g. tray, protective case, approved rigid sterilization container) to be sterilized and change color from yellow to blue/purple when the critical sterilization parameters have been met (270°F /132°C for 10 minutes). They shall be printed onto white polypropylene with a polypropylene laminate and dimensions of 140 x 22 mm.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device is a chemical indicator that changes color based on physical parameters (temperature and time) and does not involve any computational analysis or learning.

No
This device is a chemical indicator used to verify sterilization cycles, not to treat, diagnose, or cure a disease or condition in a patient.

No

This device is a chemical indicator used to verify that specific sterilization cycle parameters have been met, not to diagnose a medical condition in a patient.

No

The device is a physical chemical indicator printed on polypropylene, 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 monitor the effectiveness of a steam sterilization cycle for medical devices. It indicates whether the critical parameters of the sterilization process have been met.
  • Device Description: It's a chemical indicator that changes color based on exposure to specific temperature and time conditions during sterilization.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not interact with human specimens or provide diagnostic information about a patient's health.
  • Function: Its function is to verify the physical conditions of a sterilization process, not to diagnose or monitor a patient's condition.

Therefore, the Celerity 10 STEAM Chemical Indicator is a sterilization process indicator, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Performance testing was conducted to verify that the proposed indicator meets the requirements for Type 6 emulating indicators as defined in ANSI/AAMI ISO 11140-1:2014 and additional FDA requirements using a resistometer conforming to ANSI/AAMI ISO 18472. Additional testing was completed to simulate typical in-use applications and to verify shelf life and the endpoint color stability.

Key Results:

  • ISO 11140-1 Testing: Met requirements defined in ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11140-1:2014 along with additional FDA requirements for Type 6 emulating indicators. (PASS)
  • Simulated Use Testing: Demonstrated color change when exposed to a full cycle and no/incomplete color change when exposed to an abbreviated cycle. (PASS)
  • Shelf Life for 36 months: Met performance specifications at each time point after storage in different environments. (PASS)
  • Endpoint Color Stability for 12 months: Met performance specifications at each time point after storage in typical conditions. (PASS)

§ 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 Eileen McCafferty:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.
