#### 3. Description of Device:
3MTM Attest™ Rapid Readout Biological Indicator 1295:
The 3M™ Attest™ Rapid Readout Biological Indicator 1295 is a self-contained biological indicator specifically designed for rapid and reliable routine monitoring of vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization processes when used in conjunction with the 3MTM Attest™ Auto-reader 490H or the 3MTM Attest™ Auto-reader 490 having software version 4.0.0 or greater or a 3MTM Attest™ Mini Auto-reader 490M. The 1295 BI is a single-use device composed of a plastic sleeve containing a spore carrier and media ampoule, enclosed with a color-coded cap. A chemical process indicator printed with stripes which change from blue toward pink upon exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide is located on the top of the cap. The detection of fluorescence upon incubation of the 1295 BI in one of the designated Attest™ Auto-readers indicates a sterilization failure.
3M™ Attest™ Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide Tri-Metric Chemical Indicator 1348/1348E: The 3M™ Attest™ Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide Tri-Metric Chemical Indicator 1348/1348E is a chemical indicator consisting of a non-cellulose based coated indicator strip sensitive to vaporized hydrogen peroxide, contained in a film laminate. There has been no change to the product construction compared to the predicate submission, K212022.
{7}------------------------------------------------
#### 3M™ Attest™ Rapid Readout Biological Indicator 1295 and
#### 3M™ Attest™ Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide Tri-Metric Chemical Indicator 1348/1348E
The 3M™ Attest™ CI 1348/1348E verifies that the stated values for the three critical parameters of exposure time, temperature, and concentration of vaporized hydrogen peroxide have been achieved within a package or containment device (i.e. wrapped trays, rigid containers, sterilization pouches, and other types of packs) and/or at a specific location within the load or empty chamber.
Upon exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide, the color of the coated indicator strip progressively changes from blue toward pink along the strip. The progression of the blue to pink color change along the strip is visible through a window with marked "REJECT" and "ACCEPT" zones. The extent of the progression depends on exposure time, temperature, and concentration of vaporized hydrogen peroxide.
#### 4. Indications for Use
Use the 3M™ Attest™ Rapid Readout Biological Indicator 1295 in conjunction with the 3M™ Attest™ Auto-reader 490H or 490 Auto-reader having software version 4.0.0 or greater or 490M Auto-reader as a standard method of routine monitoring of vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization processes in the following systems:
