3M™ ComplyTM Lead Free Steam Indicator Tape 1322: The 3M™ Comply™ Lead Free Indicator Tape 1322 for steam sterilization consists of an adhesive, backing, and chemical indicator stripes. The adhesive is an aggressive, pressuresensitive adhesive designed to adhere to a variety of wraps, including untreated woven (i.e., reusable 100% cotton and cotton/poly blends) and disposable non-woven, paper and paper/ plastic wraps in order to secure the pack during steam sterilization. After sterilization, the tape is designed to remove easily and cleanly from untreated woven wraps. The backing is a beige colored crepe paper and provides the stretch needed for pack expansion during sterilization. The chemical indicator lines will show a visual color change from off-white/tan to darker color when exposed to a steam sterilization process. 3M™ Comply™ Lead Free Steam Indicator Tape is a Type 1 (Category e1) Process Indicator as categorized by ISO 11140-1:2014. This Product Is Not Made With Natural Rubber Latex.

Study Details
Given the nature of the device (chemical indicators) and the provided document (510(k) summary), many of the typical AI/ML study components (e.g., sample size for test/training sets of images, number of experts for ground truth, MRMC studies, standalone AI performance) are not applicable. This document describes the validation of a physical chemical indicator, not a software algorithm for diagnostic imaging.
However, based on the information provided, here's what can be inferred/stated:
2. Sample Sized Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance:
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated in terms of number of indicator tapes tested. The tests are described by the conditions (temperature, time) and the expected color change.
- Data Provenance: The tests were conducted according to ISO 11140-1:2014 standards in a "saturated steam Resistometer" and through "Health Care Facility Simulated Use Testing." This suggests controlled laboratory environments and simulated real-world usage. The country of origin for the data is implicitly the location where 3M conducts its R&D and testing, which for this US FDA submission suggests tests that align with US regulatory expectations. The studies appear to be prospective in nature, as they involve testing the performance of the manufactured devices under specified conditions.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts:
- Not Applicable in the traditional sense for chemical indicators. The ground truth for chemical indicators is typically established by the physical and chemical principles governing their color change in response to specific sterilization parameters (temperature, time, presence of steam). The "expertise" involved would be in setting up and validating the test equipment (resistometer) to ensure it accurately delivers the specified sterilization conditions, and in visually assessing color changes against defined reference standards. This is generally performed by qualified laboratory personnel following standardized test methods (e.g., ISO standards).
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
- Not Applicable in the traditional sense. Adjudication methods like "2+1" or "3+1" are characteristic of human reader studies involving subjective interpretations of complex data like medical images. For chemical indicators, the interpretation of the "endpoint" (color change) is objective and defined (e.g., "visible color change" or "no change or change that is markedly different from the visible color change"). The testing process would involve trained technicians observing and recording these objective changes.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done:
- No. MRMC studies are for evaluating the change in human reader performance (e.g., radiologists interpreting images) with or without AI assistance. This is not relevant for a chemical indicator.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:
- This question is not applicable as the device is a chemical indicator, not an algorithm. The "performance" is the physical color change of the tape itself under defined conditions, which is inherently a "standalone" characteristic of the device.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
- The ground truth is based on defined physical and chemical reactions to specific sterilization conditions as outlined in the ISO 11140-1:2014 standard for Type 1 (e1) Process Indicators. It's an objective physical property rather than expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data typically used for AI/diagnostic devices. The color change is a direct indication of exposure to the sterilization process.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
- Not Applicable. Chemical indicators do not have "training sets" in the context of machine learning. The "development" of the indicator involves chemical formulation and manufacturing processes to achieve the desired reaction and color change.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:
- Not Applicable. There is no "training set" or "ground truth" established in this manner for a chemical indicator. The performance characteristics are inherent to the product's chemical composition and physical design, verified through controlled testing against established international standards.

7. Nonclinical Comparison to the Predicate Device
3M conducted performance tests in the newly claimed sterilization cycle and conditions, nonclinical testing was performance in accordance with :
- FDA Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff: Premarket Notification [510(k)] Submissions ● for Chemical Indicators, issued December 19, 2003
- ISO 11140-1:2014 Sterilization of healthcare products—Chemical Indicators—Part 1: ● General requirements for Type 1 (e1) Process Indicators.
Reference Table 6.1 for summary of nonclinical testing.
There is no change to the indicator ink (fundamental technology) for the subject devices, therefore, the mechanism of action is identical. The description of the end point specification for the subject devices was updated from dark brown or black color to darker color for more customer clarity since the type 1 (e1) process indicator is intended to distinguish between exposed or not exposed to a steam sterilization process.

7. Conclusion
The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical testing demonstrate that the subject devices, 3M™ Comply™ Lead Free Steam Indicator Tape 1322 and 3M™ Attest™ Lead Free Steam Indicator Tape 1355, are as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate, 3M Comply 1322 Lead Free Steam Indicator Tape (K101528), Class II (21 CFR 880.2800), product code JOJ.
§ 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).
