Device Description
**Celerity 5 HP BI**
The product is intended to monitor the vapor phased hydrogen peroxide sterilization cycles described in the indications for use. It produces an optical change (signal) that is detected by the STERIS proprietary reader, STERIS Celerity Incubator, within 5 minutes to confirm the viability of the biological indicator at the end of a sterilization process. The product consists of Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores and a defined nutrient media in a plastic vial. A reporter enzyme, which is produced by the organism, reacts with a fluorogenic substrate within the defined nutrient media to produce a fluorescent moiety.
**Celerity 5 HP Challenge Pack**
The Celerity 5 HP Challenge Pack is used in the sterile processing department, usually by service technicians or biomedical technicians to qualify the unit following installation, relocation, malfunctions or major repairs and for routine requalification testing. It consists of a Celerity 5 HP Biological Indicator, a Celerity HP Chemical Indicator, and a layer of absorptive foam within a Tyvek pouch.
The intended change to the devices is to update the secondary container and product labeling. Specifically, the clear cellophane wrapper around the product carton will be replaced by a clear, laminated pouch. Labeling on the carton and the Instructions for Use (IFU) will be updated to specify that the product must remain stored in its original laminated pouch to maintain the claimed shelf-life. Additionally, a storage disclaimer label will be added to the exterior of the pouch to notify users of this change. Finally, this submission is intended to establish a 3-month in-use shelf-life following pouch opening, not to exceed the original expiration date.

Intended Use
The RAPICIDE™ PA Test Strips are chemical indicators used after the disinfection cycle to ensure that the RAPICIDE™ PA High-Level Disinfectant solution is met the minimum recommended concentration of 850ppm peracetic acid. The RAPICIDE PA Test Strips are designed for use by trained personnel who reprocess endoscopes and their accessories in facilities where endoscopies are performed.
Device Description
Rapicide PA High-Level Disinfectant Test Strip has the ability to measure the disinfectant use solution concentration above 850 ppm Peracetic Acid (PAA). This is the minimum recommended concentration (MRC) of PAA for Rapicide PA high-level disinfectant. If the solution is at or below MRC, the test strip pad will indicate a failure by turning dark grey, blue grey, violet grey, light grey, or white (no change in color). A passing result will be indicated by the test strip pad turning solid black after contact with solution at concentrations of 1100 ppm ± 20 ppm PAA.

Device Description
The VERIFY STEAM Integrating Indicator is a single use device used by healthcare providers to monitor steam sterilization cycles. The VERIFY STEAM Integrating Indicator is included in a pack, pouch, container, tray or other containment device in a steam sterilizer and the load is processed in accordance with the sterilizer's manufacturer's directions. Prior to the use of the processed items, the integrator is observed. If the dark bar on the device enters the ACCEPT (OK) window, the integrator is read as a PASS to indicate that the steam sterilization criteria for the cycle have been met. If the dark bar on the device does not enter the ACCEPT (OK), the integrator is read as a FAIL, indicating that sufficient steam sterilization criteria has not been met and processed materials should be subjected to another steam sterilization cycle prior to 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.

Intended Use
The enspire™ 3000 Series Cleaning and Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing System is intended to effectively provide a pressure monitor, clean, provide liquid chemical sterilization, rinse, and air purge validated immersible, reusable, semi-critical, heat sensitive medical devices such as flexible endoscopes and their accessories.
The validated cleaning process replaces cleaning for endoscopes other than duodenoscopes. Manual cleaning of duodenoscopes according to the manufacturer's written instructions for use is required prior to placement in the enspire™ 3000 Series Processor.
The enspire™ 3000 Series Processor uses only Revital-Ox 2X Concentrate Enzymatic detergent to clean and S40 Sterilant Concentrate to liquid chemically sterilize medical devices. It automatically dilutes the S40 Sterilant Concentrate to its use dilution (> 1820 mg/L peracetic acid), liquid chemically sterilizes the load during a controlled 6-minute exposure at 46.6 to 55°C and rinses the load with 0.2-micron filtered water.
Device Description
The enspire 3000 Cleaning and Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing System (CLCSPS) is a medical device processing system used for cleaning and liquid chemically sterilizing immersible, reusable, semi-critical, heat-sensitive devices such as flexible endoscopes and their accessories. The system consists of the enspire 3000 Processor, Revital-Ox 2X Concentrate Enzymatic Detergent, S40 Sterilant Concentrate and Max Flow Connectors.
The enspire 3000 Cleaning and LCSPS is an automated, self-contained device for the effective cleaning and liquid chemical sterilization of semi-critical medical devices and their accessories. The devices will not require manual cleaning prior to processing in the enspire 3000 Processor with the exception of duodenoscopes which must be manually cleaned per the manufacturer's instructions for use. In addition, prior to placement in the enspire 3000 processor, the device will undergo a manual leak test and the user will ensure the lumens are not blocked. If the device has internal channels or lumens, Max Flow Connectors are used to facilitate the delivery of detergent, sterilant use-solution and rinse water to internal channels.
Once the device is positioned in the enspire 3000 processor, the unit will create and maintain the conditions necessary for effective cleaning and liquid chemical sterilization of the load. At the beginning of the processing cycle, automated pressure monitoring is performed to confirm the integrity of the flexible endoscope throughout the process. The enspire 3000 processor maintains inflation of the processed device to prevent ingress of fluid during processing and the pressure monitoring is repeated at the end of the processing cycle to ensure that the device is leak tight after cleaning and liquid chemical sterilization. At the end of the processing cycle, the cleaned and liquid chemically sterilized devices are rinsed with 0.2 micron filtered potable water followed by a HEPA-filtered air purge to aid in drying the endoscope. The processor, which is computer controlled and continually monitored, provides documentation of each cycle.
The enspire 3000 processor utilizes Revital-Ox 2X Concentrate Enzymatic Detergent for cleaning and S40 Sterilant Concentrate for liquid chemical sterilization. S40 Sterilant Concentrate is a single use chemical sterilant concentrate; its active ingredient, peracetic acid, is combined with inert ingredients (builders) to form a use dilution which inhibits corrosion of metals, polymers and other materials.
