No
The device is a physical sterilization pouch and roll, not a software application. The description details physical components and their function in sterilization processes.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as providing a method to enclose devices for sterilization in steam and ethylene oxide sterilizers and maintaining their sterility. This is a function related to the processing and storage of medical devices, not the diagnosis of disease or other conditions.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics of the pouches and rolls, their sealing mechanisms, and the chemical indicators that show exposure to sterilization processes. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing human specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring specific analytes (proteins, DNA, antibodies, etc.)
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment decisions based on biological samples.
The device is a sterilization packaging system, which falls under the category of medical devices used in the sterilization and storage of other medical devices.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The SIGMA sterilization pouch and roll are intended to provide health care workers with an effective method to enclose devices intended for sterilization in the Steam Sterilizer and via Ethylene Oxide (EO). The recommended sterilization cycles are as follows:
-
Gravity steam at 121°C (250°F) for 30 minutes; Drying time of 30 minutes.
-
Gravity steam at 132°C (270°F) for 15 minutes; Drying time of 30 minutes.
-
Gravity steam at 135°C (275°F) for 10 minutes; Drying time of 30 minutes.
-
Pre-vacuum steam at 132°C (270°F) for 4 minutes; Drying time of 20 minutes.
-
Pre-vacuum steam at 135°C (275°F) for 3 minutes; Drying time of 16 minutes.
-
EO sterilization cycle is 4 hours at 55°C (131°F) with a relative humidity between 50%-85% and a sterilant concentration of 600 mg/L.
Furthermore, the sterilization pouch and roll maintains the enclosed devices up until 3 years post EO gas sterilization and maintains the enclosed devices up until 6 months post Steam sterilization. Lastly, the pouch's external chemical ink indicators are designed to indicate to the pouch has undergone either a steam or EO sterilization process.
The SIGMA sterilization pouch and roll is offered in the following 6 types:
- Self-sealing sterilization pouches
- Self-sealing sterilization multi pouches
- Sterilization pouches. Flat
- Sterilization pouches, Gusseted
- Sterilization rolls, Flat
- Sterilization rolls, Gusseted

Device Description
The SIGMA sterilization pouches and rolls are inserted into the Pouch/Roll, sealed, and then sterilized in the Sterilization System. After completion of the sterilization process, the Pouch/Roll maintain sterility of the enclosed medical devices until the seal is opened. The device is intended to allow sterilization of enclosed devices and also to maintain sterility of the enclosed devices until used up to 3 years post EO gas sterilization and maintains the enclosed devices up until 6 months post Steam sterilization.
The Self-seal pouch permits sealing of the pouch without need of heat- sealing equipment, while the heat sealed pouches and rolls are heat sealed prior to processing in the steam/or EO Sterilization cycles.
The chemical indicators ink printed on the medical grade paper will exhibit a color change after the pouch is exposed to steam or ethylene oxide gas. The color of Chemical Indicator changes from Blue to Greenish Black, when exposed to Steam. And the color changes from red to yellow, when exposed to EO gas.
The Chemical Indicator offers an addition way to verity processing in the sterilization cycle. The Chemical Indicator should be used in addition to, not in place of, the biological indicator. The Chemical Indicators do not signify sterilization; they only indicate that the indicator has been exposed to Steam/or EO gas.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The SIGMA sterilization pouch and roll have identical intended use and indication for use as the predicate devices. The subject device was compared to the predicate device by testing the Sterilant Penetration, Drying Time, Aeration, Biocompatibility, Package Integrity, Material Compatibility, Sterility Maintenance, and Chemical Indicator Efficacy.
The results of the SIGMA sterilization pouch and roll validation studies demonstrate that the sterilization pouches perform as intended.
Sterilant Penetration/Drying Time/Aeration:

The defining characteristics of the 6 types are as follows:
- · Self-sealing sterilization pouches: These pouches are made from a medical grade plastic film that is heat sealed on three sides. The forth side has an adhesive strip that is used to seal the pouch. Release paper used in the pouch is a laminated sheet with composing structure of PE/paper/PE. It is a strip to cover the adhesive area and is released before seal the pouch. The medical grade paper conforms to recognized material standards and can be sterilized by steam or ethylene oxide gas. The Process Indicators Ink printed on the medical grade paper will exhibit a color change after the pouch is exposed to steam or ethylene oxide gas.
- · Self-sealing sterilization multi pouches: These pouches have the same components as the Self-sealing sterilization pouches, except that the interior of the pouch is divided into several compartments for packaging multiple instruments separately.

- · Sterilization pouches, Flat: These pouches have the same components with the Self-sealing sterilization pouches, except the forth side is left opened instead of an adhesive strip and will be heat-sealed when using.
- · Sterilization pouches, Gusseted: These pouches are the same with the Sterilization pouches, flat, except that the plastic film is folded on both longest sides instead of flat. This design is convenient to enclose the medical devices with certain height.
- · Sterilization rolls, Flat: These rolls are made from a medical grade paper and plastic film that are heat sealed on opposite two sides. It will be cut into the suitable length and the opened sides will be heat-sealed. The indicators printed on the medical grade paper are the same with the self-sealing sterilization pouches.
- · Sterilization rolls, Gusseted: These rolls are the same with the flat sterilization roll, except that the plastic film is folded on both longest sides instead of flat. This design is convenient to enclose the medical devices with certain height.

Device Description
The SIGMA sterilization pouches and rolls are inserted into the Pouch/Roll, sealed, and then sterilized in the Sterilization System. After completion of the sterilization process, the Pouch/Roll maintain sterility of the enclosed medical devices until the seal is opened. The device is intended to allow sterilization of enclosed devices and also to maintain sterility of the enclosed devices until used up to 3 years post EO gas sterilization and maintains the enclosed devices up until 6 months post Steam sterilization.
The Self-seal pouch permits sealing of the pouch without need of heat- sealing equipment, while the heat sealed pouches and rolls are heat sealed prior to processing in the steam/or EO Sterilization cycles.
The chemical indicators ink printed on the medical grade paper will exhibit a color change after the pouch is exposed to steam or ethylene oxide gas. The color of Chemical Indicator changes from Blue to Greenish Black, when exposed to Steam. And the color changes from red to yellow, when exposed to EO gas.
The Chemical Indicator offers an addition way to verity processing in the sterilization cycle. The Chemical Indicator should be used in addition to, not in place of, the biological indicator. The Chemical Indicators do not signify sterilization; they only indicate that the indicator has been exposed to Steam/or EO gas.

Summary of Non-Clinical Testing
The SIGMA sterilization pouch and roll have identical intended use and indication for use as the predicate devices. The subject device was compared to the predicate device by testing the Sterilant Penetration, Drying Time, Aeration, Biocompatibility, Package Integrity, Material Compatibility, Sterility Maintenance, and Chemical Indicator Efficacy.
The results of the SIGMA sterilization pouch and roll validation studies demonstrate that the sterilization pouches perform as intended. The results are summarized as following Table 3:

CONCLUSION
The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical tests demonstrate that SIGMA Sterilization Pouch and Roll is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate K180661.
