Intended Use

Use the 3MTM Attest™ Steam Chemical Integrator Test Pack 41360 to monitor:

  • · 121°C (250°F) gravity displacement steam sterilization cycle at 30 minutes
  • · 132°C (270°F) dynamic-air-removal steam sterilization cycle at 4 minutes
  • · 135°C (275°F) dynamic-air-removal steam sterilization cycle at 3 minutes
Device Description

3M™ Attest™ Steam Chemical Integrator Test Pack 41360 is specifically designed to routinely challenge the steam sterilization process in healthcare facilities. This convenient disposable process challenge device presents a challenge to the sterilization process equivalent to the 16towel process challenge device (PCD) recommended by the Associate for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). Each test pack contains a process indicator on the outside that changes from yellow to brown or darker when steam processed.

Each pack contains a 3M™ Attest™ Steam Chemical Integrator and a record keeping sheet. The 3MTM Attest™ Steam Chemical Integrator consists of a paper wick and a steam and temperature sensitive chemical pellet contained in a paper/film/foil laminate. When exposed to steam sterilization conditions, the chemical pellet melts and migrates as a dark color along the paper wick. The migration is visible through a window marked REJECT or ACCEPT. The extent of migration depends on steam, time, and temperature.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document describes the 3M™ Attest™ Steam Chemical Integrator Test Pack 41360. Based on the information, here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

TestPurposeAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Comparison to AAMI 16 Towel PCDDetermine the resistance of the Challenge Pack as compared to an AAMI 16 Towel PCDChallenge Pack is at least as resistant as the biological indicator AAMI 16 Towel Process Challenge Device (PCD) described in ANSI/AAMI ST79: 2017Passed
Comparison to Biological IndicatorDetermine the resistance of the Challenge Pack as compared to the Biological Indicator aloneChallenge Pack provides a greater resistance than the Biological Indicator alonePassed

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

The document does not specify the exact sample size for the test set. It only states that "Performance testing to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device has been completed." The data provenance is not explicitly mentioned but is implied to be from 3M Company's internal testing as part of their premarket notification for the FDA. This would generally be considered prospective testing in a controlled laboratory environment.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This is not applicable to the device described. The device is a chemical indicator for steam sterilization. Its performance is evaluated against established physical and chemical standards (like AAMI ST79) and other devices, rather than being assessed by human experts interpreting results.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

This is not applicable. The performance testing involves objective measures of resistance to sterilization conditions, not subjective interpretations requiring adjudication.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

This is not applicable. The device is a physical chemical indicator, not an AI or imaging diagnostic tool.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

This is not applicable. The device is a physical chemical indicator. Its performance is inherent to its design and chemical properties.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

The ground truth for the performance testing is based on established industry standards for steam sterilization and chemical indicators, specifically:

  • ANSI/AAMI ST79:2017, Comprehensive guide to steam sterilization and sterility assurance in health care facilities
  • ISO 11140-1:2014 Sterilization of health care products – Chemical indicators, Part 1: General Requirements

The ground truth for "resistance" is defined by these standards and the behavior of the AAMI 16 Towel Process Challenge Device (PCD) and a Biological Indicator.

8. The sample size for the training set

This is not applicable. The device is not an AI or machine learning model that requires a training set. The development of such physical indicators involves engineering, chemistry, and iterative testing, not "training" in the AI sense.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This is not applicable for the reasons stated above.

Dear Mary Fretland:

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 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

§ 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).
