No
The summary describes a bacterial enzyme indicator for monitoring steam sterilization, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No
The device is used for monitoring sterilization processes, not for treating diseases or conditions in patients.

No

The device is described as an "interactive, bacterial enzyme indicator" used for monitoring "saturated steam sterilization processes." It is not used to diagnose a medical condition in a patient.

No

The device description and intended use clearly indicate a physical, multiple, interactive, bacterial enzyme indicator used for monitoring sterilization processes, not a software application.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to monitor saturated steam sterilization processes. This is a quality control measure for sterilization equipment, 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 description "multiple, interactive, bacterial enzyme indicator" further supports its role in monitoring sterilization effectiveness, likely by detecting the presence or absence of bacterial enzymes after the sterilization process.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document lacks any mention of:
    • Testing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Diagnosing, treating, or monitoring a medical condition
    • Patient age range or anatomical site
    • Performance metrics typically associated with diagnostic tests (sensitivity, specificity, etc.)

Therefore, the RSI Rapid Indicator is a device used in a laboratory or healthcare setting, but its function is related to quality control of sterilization, not in vitro diagnostic testing.

§ 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).

Dear Mr. Sliva:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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, Druq, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions The general controls provisions of the Act of the Act. include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labelinq, and prohibitions aqainst misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General requlation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP requlation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does
