No
The 510(k) summary describes a chemical sterilizing and disinfecting solution and its performance in germicidal and biocompatibility testing. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would incorporate AI or ML.

No.
Sporox is a liquid chemical germicide intended for the high-level disinfection of heat-sensitive medical equipment, not for direct therapeutic use on patients.

No
The device is a chemical germicide used for high-level disinfection of medical equipment, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device is a liquid chemical germicide, which is a physical substance, not software.

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 "high level disinfection of heat sensitive medical equipment." This is a process for reprocessing medical devices, not for performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the chemical composition and mechanism of action as a germicide.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information. The performance studies focus on germicidal activity and material compatibility, not diagnostic accuracy.

Therefore, Sporox® Sterilizing & Disinfecting Solution is a medical device used for reprocessing, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

Reckitt & Colman conducted testing that demonstrated Sporox's pactericidal, fungicidal, virucidal, sporicidal, and tuberculocidal activity, utilizing appropriate AOAC use dilution, fungicidal, uberculocidal and sporicidal methods. Additionally, the Company conducted acute dermal toxicity, acute oral toxicity, primary skin rritation, in-vitro hemolysis, primary eye irritation, neutral red iptake bioassay, and 28-day oral toxicity testing, consistent with -DA's guidance on biocompatibility testing. See FDA, Use of International Standard ISO-10993, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing, #G95-1 (May 1, 1995). These tests demonstrated the product's safety for use as a Ilouid chemical sterilant. The Company also conducted stability studies demonstrating the product has a minimum of two years stability if unopened and stored according to label instruction, and that the product can be reused for up to 21 days when used at 20℃ according to label instructions.

The Company demonstrated the compatibility of Sporox with medical devices and device materials, as set forth in the product's labeling, by conducting studies with actual devices, in both simulated use and clinical applications, and by conducting a rigorous evaluation of a number of difference plastics, metals, and elastomers commonly used in medical devices and noted in the product label. The materials were exposed to a Sporox solution, containing 7.42% hydrogen peroxide content for 500 hours at 20°C (equivalent to 1000 disinfectant cycles).

The Company conducted testing consistent with FDA's "Guidance on the Content and Format of 510(k) Submission for Liquid Chemical Germicides," demonstrating extremely low levels of residuals associated with reprocessing of even very complex medical devices. The levels were significantly below levels which are expected to induce toxic or harmful effects.

Reckitt & Colman Inc. has submitted actual use testing and information that demonstrates the safety and efficacy of Sporox® for use as a liquid chemical sterilant. The company has submitted testing for Sporox® utilizing endoscopes after patient use and using inoculated endoscopes. The product was marketed previously for thirteen years with no experience of adverse effects. Documentation of Sporox® use by the Mayo Clinic in the clinical setting was submitted by the company.

Description of Devices: 4.0

Sporox is a nominal 7.5% hydrogen peroxide solution, buffered with phosphoric acid. Hydrogen peroxide, the active ingredient in Sporox, ® exerts i s germicide via a strong oxidation reaction of cellular components.

Intendud Use: 5.0

Sporox® is intended to be used as a ready-to-use liquid chemical sterilant for the sterilization or high-level disinfection of heat-sensitive medical egujpment for which alternative methods of terminal reprocessing are not suitable or available.

Technological Characteristics: 6.0

Both Sporox® and the predicate device, Cidex, are liquid chemical sterilants for sterilization or high-level disinfection of heat-sensitive medical equipment for which alternative methods of terminal reprocessing are not suitable or available. They differ primarily in their active ingredient, the need fc r activation, contact conditions and reuse period. Cidex's active ingredient is 2.5% dialdehyde and, unlike Sporox, it requires activation. The contact time as a sterilant is 6 hours at 20°C for Sporox, and 10 hours at 25℃ for Cidex®. The contact time for disinfection is 30 minutes at 20℃ for Sporox® and 90 minutes at 25℃ for Cidex.® Finally, Sporox® can be reused for up to 21 days and Cidex can be reused for up to 28 days.
