Intended Use
The Celerity™ HP Chemical Indicator is a vaporized hydrogen peroxide multivariable chemical indicator. It is designed for routine monitoring of the following cycles: · Lumen, Non Lumen, Flexible, Fast Non Lumen or Fast sterilization cycle of a V-PRO® Low Temperature Sterilization System, or • Standard, Advanced, Express, Flex or Duo cycles of an ASP STERRAD® System, including those systems with ALLClear Technology.
Device Description
The Celerity™ HP Chemical Indicator is a chemical indicator strip consisting of indicator ink containing the reactive chemicals printed on one end of a polypropylene strip. If the critical variables are achieved, the color of the indicator ink changes from magenta to orange/yellow or lighter yellow when exposed to the V-PRO® Low Temperature Sterilization System cycles or ASP STERRAD® System cycles. The indicator is validated to function as a multiple variable indicator with increased resistance characteristics similar to ISO 11140-1:2014 end points for a Type 4 Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP) Chemical Indicator (CI). No changes have been made to the device other than additional testing and updating the labeling for multivariable indicator claims.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device is a chemical indicator that changes color based on exposure to sterilization variables. There is no mention of AI/ML in the description, intended use, or performance studies.

No.
This device is a chemical indicator used to monitor the effectiveness of sterilization processes, not to treat or prevent a disease or condition in a patient.

No

The device is a chemical indicator used for routine monitoring of sterilization cycles to ensure critical variables (time, temperature, sterilant concentration) are met, not for diagnosing a medical condition in a patient.

No

The device is a chemical indicator strip with ink printed on a polypropylene strip, which is a physical component, 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 for monitoring sterilization cycles of medical devices using vaporized hydrogen peroxide. This is a process control 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 sterilization parameters (time, temperature, sterilant concentration). It does not interact with or analyze biological specimens.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing information about a patient's health status, disease, or condition
    • Using reagents or assays designed for biological analysis

The device is clearly designed to assess the effectiveness of a sterilization process, which is a quality control measure for medical devices, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Performance testing was conducted to verify that the proposed Celerity CI meets the requirements for multivariable chemical indicator using the Type 4 vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization indicator requirements defined in ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11140-1:2014. In addition, ongoing endpoint color stability testing has demonstrated stability throughout 15 months, so the labeling has been updated to reflect this.

Acceptance Criteria: Pass testing per Table 8 of ISO 11140-1:2014, Fail testing per Table 8 of ISO 11140-1:2014
Study Result: Pass. All CI show a complete color change, Pass. All CI show an incomplete color change.

Endpoint color stability:
Purpose: Demonstrates that the processed indicator color does not significantly change over the labeled time period.
Acceptance Criteria: Color remains stable
Study Result: Pass. Color stable up to 15 months.

Simulated Use Testing (Leveraged from K192020):
Purpose: Demonstrates that the indicator performs as expected in a commercial sterilizer with worst-case load.
Acceptance Criteria: Complete color change in a full cycle. Incomplete color change in an abbreviated cycle.
Study Result: Pass. Complete color change in a full cycle. Incomplete color change in an abbreviated cycle.

(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)

The predicate and proposed devices are similar in terms of basic scientific technology and indications for use. Testing is included in the submission to demonstrate that the proposed CI meets the criteria of a multivariable indicator and to extend the endpoint color stability. The multivariable indicator claims change the product code from JOJ to QKM. Both product codes are under regulation number 21 CFR 880.2800.
