The device description and performance studies focus on the physical and chemical properties of the indicator, not on any computational analysis or learning algorithms. There is no mention of AI, ML, or image processing.
No.
The 3M™ Attest™ Steam Chemical Integrators are used to monitor critical parameters of steam sterilization cycles, ensuring the sterility of other medical devices, not to provide therapy to a patient.
No
The device is a chemical indicator used to monitor the effectiveness of steam sterilization cycles, not to diagnose a medical condition in a patient. It assesses the critical parameters of a sterilization process.
No
The device description clearly indicates it is a physical chemical indicator consisting of a paper wick, chemical pellet, and laminate, 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 the critical parameters of steam sterilization cycles for medical devices and materials. This is a quality control process for sterilization, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample from a patient.
- Device Description: The device is a chemical indicator that changes color based on exposure to steam, time, and temperature. It does not interact with or analyze biological samples.
- Anatomical Site/Patient Age Range: These are listed as "Not Applicable," which is consistent with a device used for sterilization monitoring rather than patient diagnosis.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the device's ability to accurately indicate sterilization conditions in a resistometer and simulated healthcare facility settings, not on diagnostic accuracy metrics like sensitivity, specificity, etc.
- Key Metrics: Key diagnostic metrics are listed as "Not Found."
In summary, the 3M™ Attest™ Steam Chemical Integrators are designed to assess the effectiveness of a sterilization process, which is a quality control function, not a diagnostic test performed on a patient sample.

Device Description
3M™ Attest™ Steam Chemical Integrators are chemical indicators consisting of a paper wick and a steam and temperature sensitive chemical pellet contained in a paper/film/foil laminate. The chemical pellet melts and migrates as a dark color along the paper wick. The migration is visible through a window marked ACCEPT or window marked REJECT; the extent of migration depends on steam, time, and temperature.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Nonclinical testing of the 3M™ Attest™ Steam Chemical Integrators was conducted in accordance with the FDA Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff: Premarket Notification [510(k)] Submissions for Chemical Indicators, issued December 19, 2003 as well as ANSI/AAM/ISO 11140-1:2014.
The effectiveness of the 3MTM Attest™ Steam Chemical Integrator was demonstrated in the following tests:
- Stated Value (SV) Testing: To identify the critical parameters required to achieve a stated inactivation, by referring to a stated test organism with stated D and z values. The integrator must turn to "ACCEPT" end point at the stated value time and must also remain "REJECT" when exposed to conditions of -1°C/-15% set point of the SV time. All testing is completed in a saturated steam resistometer. Integrator temperature coefficient and correlation coefficient are calculated to confirm alignment to biological indicator performance. Results: PASS. SV at 121°C ≥ 16.5 minutes; SV at 132°C ≥ 2.0 minutes; SV at 134°C ≥ 1.4 minutes; SV at 135°C ≥ 1.2 minutes; Integrator temperature coefficient 10 - 27°C; Correlation coefficient ≥ 0.9.
- Health Care Facility Simulated Use Testing: Confirm integrators provide acceptable performance in cleared customer use sterilization cycles. Results: PASS. Device reaches “ACCEPT” endpoint reaction when exposed to customer use cycles. Device does not reach endpoint (“REJECT”) when exposed to failing conditions in customer use cycles.
- Dry Heat Testing: Verify device requires the presence of saturated steam to turn to reach endpoint. Results: PASS. Endpoint must not be met following dry heat exposure at 140°C for 30 min.
- Side-by-Side Testing with Biological Indicator: Confirm integrators are parallel in performance to biological indicators (BI). Results: PASS. Chemical integrator parallels performance of BI and does not reach endpoint before BI is inactivated.
- Endpoint Color Stability: Confirm endpoint color stability for samples exposed to passing and failing conditions in a steam resistometer. Results: PASS. Endpoint decision must remain unchanged after 6 months.
The results of performance testing on 3M™ Attest™ Steam Chemical Integrator demonstrate the device performs as intended in the claimed steam sterilization cycles.
