Intended Use
The enspire 3000 Chemical Indicator is a peracetic acid concentration indicator for routine monitoring of the liquid chemical sterilization cycle of the enspire 3000 employing S40 Sterilant. The unprocessed enspire 3000 Chemical Indicator is blue. When exposed in the enspire 3000 processor to a concentration of >1820 ppm (mg/L) peracetic acid found in the S40 use dilution during a controlled 6-minute exposure at 45.5 - 60°C, the indicator color changes from the start to the pass color. See reference colors on the bottle.
Device Description
The enspire 3000 Chemical Indicator is a chemical indicator strip consisting of indicator ink containing the reactive chemicals printed on one end of a polypropylene strip. The product is manufactured by application of the indicator ink by screen printing to a substrate with the indicator ink printed thereon. A clear, sterilant-permeable polyether block amide laminate is adhesively bonded to the polypropylene strip following printing of the ink, completely covering the ink. Modification for Which Clearance is Being Sought: There were no physical changes to the device and are no new indications for use. The labeling was modified to include an additional pass reference color and a gradient between the original and new pass reference colors to improve user interpretation of chemical indicator.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device is a chemical indicator strip that changes color based on chemical exposure. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest AI/ML is involved. The modification is a labeling change to improve user interpretation of the color change.

No
Explanation: The device is a chemical indicator used to monitor the peracetic acid concentration in a liquid chemical sterilization cycle. It is not applied to a patient for diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.

No

The device is a chemical indicator used to monitor the concentration of peracetic acid in a sterilization cycle, not to diagnose a medical condition in a patient.

No

The device is a physical chemical indicator strip with ink and laminate, not a software program.

Based on the provided information, the enspire 3000 Chemical Indicator is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to monitor the concentration of peracetic acid in a liquid chemical sterilization cycle. This is a quality control measure for a sterilization process, not a test performed on a biological sample from a human or animal to diagnose a condition, monitor treatment, or screen for disease.
  • Device Description: The device is a chemical indicator strip that changes color based on exposure to a chemical (peracetic acid). It does not involve the analysis of biological specimens.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description lacks any mention of analyzing biological samples, diagnosing conditions, or providing information about a patient's health status.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) for the examination of specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The enspire 3000 Chemical Indicator does not fit this definition.
