The device is a chemical indicator that changes color based on exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide, relying on a chemical reaction, not AI/ML. The text explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found".
No
This device is a chemical indicator used to monitor sterilization processes, not to treat or diagnose patients.
No
This device is a chemical indicator used to monitor sterilization cycles by distinguishing between processed and unprocessed units; it does not diagnose medical conditions in patients.
No
The device is a chemical indicator, which is a physical product that changes color based on exposure to a chemical process. It is not software.
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 sterilization cycles in hydrogen peroxide sterilizers. It's used to distinguish between processed and unprocessed units of medical devices. This is a quality control measure for sterilization, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
- Device Description: The device is a chemical indicator that changes color based on exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide. It's a physical indicator used in a sterilization process.
- Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: IVDs are designed to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not interact with or analyze any biological samples.
- Focus on Sterilization Process: The entire description revolves around monitoring the effectiveness of a sterilization process for medical devices.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a sterilization process indicator, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

A chemical indicator for monitoring all cycles within the Sterilucent™ HC 80TT Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilizer (Lumen & Flexible), STERRAD® 100S (Standard & Long), 200, 100NX (Standard, Flex & Express), NX (Standard & Advanced), STERIS® VPRO™ 1, V-PRO™ 1 Plus (Lumen & Non-Lumen). VPRO® maX (Flexible. Lumen & Non-Lumen) and Sterilucent PSD-85 (Lumen & Non-Lumen). The VH2O2 Indicators are intended to be used by health care providers with sterilization wraps, containers, cassettes, or pouches to distinguish between processed units. Colors other than blue such as yellow/green should be treated as a process failure.

Device Description
The Sterilucent VH2O2 Chemical Indicator is a Class 1/Type 1 process indicator that conforms to ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11140-1:2014, and is intended to be used with currently cleared hydrogen peroxide sterilizers (STERRAD® 100S, 200, 100NX, NX, STERIS® VPRO™ 1, V-PRO™ 1 Plus, VPRO® maX and the Sterilucent PSD-85) and the Sterilucent HC 80TT Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilizer. The HC 80TT Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilizer has two pre-programmed sterilization cycles ("Lumen" and "Flexible") which both utilize vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) to rapidly sterilize a variety of reusable medical devices.
The Sterilucent VH2O2 Chemical Indicator is provided in two different formats: Strip and Label. Both formats consist of a polymeric material on which indicator ink is deposited. A pressure-sensitive adhesive is provided on the back of the Label, which allows the process indicator to be adhered to various substrates including containers, pouches, tamper-proof arrows or locks, etc.
The Sterilucent VH2O2 Chemical Indicator provides a visual indication that a sterilization load has been exposed to the VHP sterilization process. The indicator works by means of a chemical reaction, which results in a recognizable color change from red to blue.

§ 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 Sterilucent VH2O2 Chemical Indicator and predicate device are both single-use process indicators intended to monitor exposure to sterilization cycles utilizing vaporized hydrogen peroxide as a sterilant. Both devices have the same intended use, design, materials, specifications, and modeof-action, and are manufactured using the exact same production methods.
