Device Description
The Crosstex VH2O2 Chemical Indicators are intended for use as process indicators for all vaporized hydrogen peroxide cycles in the STERRAD® 100S, 200, 100NX (Standard, Duo, Flex & Express), NX (Standard & Advanced), STERIS® V-PRO® 1, V-PRO® 1 Plus, V-PRO® maX, and Sterilucent™ PSD-85 sterilization processes. The Crosstex VH2O2Chemical Indicators are intended to be used by health care providers with articles such as sterilization wraps, containers, cassettes, or pouches to distinguish between processed and unprocessed units. Chemical indicators change to a color of blue after exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide. Colors other than blue such as yellow/green should be treated as a process failure.
More Information

No
The device is a chemical indicator that changes color based on exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide. There is no mention of any computational processing, learning, or data analysis, which are characteristic of AI/ML.

No
The device is a chemical indicator used to monitor sterilization cycles and distinguish between processed and unprocessed units, not to treat a disease or condition in a patient.

No

Explanation: The device is a chemical indicator used to monitor sterilization cycles by distinguishing between processed and unprocessed units based on a color change. It indicates a process failure but does not diagnose a medical condition in a patient.

No

The device is a chemical indicator, which is a physical product that changes color. 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 and distinguish between processed and unprocessed units. This is a quality control function for a sterilization process, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample to diagnose a disease or condition.
  • Device Description: The device is a chemical indicator that changes color based on exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide. It does not interact with or analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Interaction: IVD devices are designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not use or analyze such samples.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the chemical indicator's ability to change color correctly and its biocompatibility, not on diagnostic accuracy metrics like sensitivity, specificity, etc., which are typical for IVDs.

In summary, this device is a process indicator used to verify the effectiveness of a sterilization cycle, which is a quality control measure, not a diagnostic tool.

§ 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 Pablo Martinez:

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's

1

requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
