The device description and performance studies focus on biological and chemical indicators for sterilization monitoring, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
This device, a biological indicator and challenge pack, is intended for routine monitoring and qualification testing of sterilization systems to ensure their effectiveness, not to provide therapeutic benefit to a patient.
No.
Explanation: This device is a biological indicator and challenge pack used to monitor and qualify the performance of sterilization cycles, not to diagnose a medical condition in a patient.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like a plastic vial containing spores and nutrient media, and the device relies on a separate hardware incubator for detection.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD). Here's why:
- Intended Use: The primary intended use of both the Biological Indicator and the Challenge Pack is to monitor and test the effectiveness of sterilization cycles for medical devices. They are used to confirm that the sterilization process has successfully killed microorganisms.
- Mechanism of Action: The Biological Indicator works by detecting the viability of Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores after exposure to a sterilization process. The Challenge Pack is a system for presenting the Biological Indicator and a Chemical Indicator to the sterilization process in a standardized way.
- No Diagnosis or Information for Diagnosis: The device does not provide information about a patient's health, disease state, or condition. It does not analyze biological samples from a human body for diagnostic purposes.
- Focus on Sterilization Process: The entire purpose of the device is to assess the performance of a sterilization process, which is a critical step in preventing the transmission of infections through medical devices.
In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are defined as devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease. This device does not fit that definition.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Celerity 20 HP Biological Indicator is intended for routine monitoring of the following sterilizer cycles:
· Lumen, Non Lumen, Fast Non Lumen, Fast and Flexible Cycles of the V-PRO: 1, 1 Plus, maX2 and s2 Low Temperature Sterilization Systems.
- · STERRAD® 100S Sterilizer (Default Cycle)
- · Standard and Advanced Cycles of the STERRAD® NX Sterilizer with or without ALLClear
- · Standard, Flex Scope, Express and DUO Cycles of the STERRAD® 100NX Sterilizer with or without ALLClear
When used in conjunction with the Celerity HP Incubator, the Celerity 20 HP BI provides a fluorescent result within 20 minutes.
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
Biological Indicator: The product is intended to monitor the vapor phased hydrogen peroxide sterilization cycles described in the indications for use. It produces an optical change (signal) that is detected by the STERIS proprietary reader, CELERITY 20 HP Incubator, within 20 minutes to confirm the viability of the biological indicator at the end of a sterilization process. The product consists of Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores and a defined nutrient media in a plastic vial. A reporter enzyme, which is produced by the organism, reacts with a fluorogenic substrate within the defined nutrient media to produce a fluorescent moiety.
Challenge Pack: 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.

§ 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)

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.
10. Intended Use/ Indications for Use - Challenge Pack
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 hospitaldefined 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.
