Intended Use

The Smart-Well Model 1710 EZTest Incubator is intended for use with the Smart-Read EZTest Steam self-contained biological indicator (SCBI). When an activated Smart-Read EZTest Steam SCBI is placed into one of the incubation cavilies the LED in front of the cavity will illuminate amber, which indicates that the incubator electronically recognizes the Smart-Read EZTest Steam SCBI unit for incubation. Smart-Read EZTest is a Self-contained Biological Indicator (SCBI) intended for use in determining the efficacy of steam sterilization processes. The SCBI may be used in the following steam sterilization cycles: Gravity 121°C 30 minutes; Gravity 132°C 10 minutes; Flash Gravity 132°C 3 minutes*; Pre-Vac 132°C 4 minutes; Pre-Vac 135°C 3 minutes. *Unwrapped nonporous devices only. Each incubation cavily also has an electronic monitoring system that detects if the Bl is either purple or yellow. The Smart-Well Model 1710 EZTest Incubator can also be supplied with a printer which documents each individual Smart-Read EZTest Steam SCBI tested. The printer can also display information that is normally entered into a log book. The printer can also be configured to display Bl exposure information that includes Bl Lot number, Sterilizer number, User identification and Cycle ID. If no selection is made for these options during the BI Wizard set up, the printed report will print a "?" mark indicating no selection was made. The printed record will always indicate incubation cavity being reported. Bl results (status), incubation start date and time when the SCB! was placed into the incubation cavity and the total time of incubation. The result options are 1) NEGATIVE (purple)-incubation time completed with no detectable color change in the Smart-Read EZTest unit, 2) POSITIVE (yellow)—time that a yellow color was detected in the Smart-Read EZTest unit, or 3) TESTING-when a printout is requested and event 1) or 2) have not happened. These results are easily verified by the user as performed in all conventional incubators without printers.

Device Story

Smart-Well Model 1710 EZTest Incubator; benchtop device for steam sterilization efficacy monitoring. Inputs: activated Smart-Read EZTest Steam SCBI units. Operation: electronic monitoring system detects color change (purple/yellow) of SCBI within incubation cavities; LED indicators confirm recognition of SCBI. Output: visual status (LED), printed documentation of BI results (negative/positive/testing), incubation start time, and total incubation duration. Used in clinical/sterile processing environments by healthcare staff. Printer provides automated log of BI lot, sterilizer ID, user ID, and cycle ID. Benefits: standardized, documented verification of sterilization efficacy; replaces manual logbook entries.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Incubator with multiple incubation cavities; electronic monitoring system for colorimetric detection (purple/yellow) of biological indicators; optional integrated printer for documentation; LED status indicators; electrical power source.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in determining the efficacy of steam sterilization processes using Smart-Read EZTest Steam self-contained biological indicators (SCBI) in gravity and pre-vacuum steam sterilization cycles.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Biological sterilization process indicator: 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. Physical/chemical sterilization process indicator: 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.

Dear Ms. Wilson:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

### Indications for Use

The Smart-Well Model 1710 EZTest Incubator is intended for use with the Smart-Read EZTest Steam self-contained biological indicator (SCBI).

When an activated Smart-Read EZTest Steam SCBI is placed into one of the incubation cavilies the LED in front of the cavity will illuminate amber, which indicates that the incubator electronically recognizes the Smart-Read EZTest Steam SCBI unit for incubation.

Smart-Read EZTest is a Self-contained Biological Indicator (SCBI) intended for use in determining the efficacy of steam sterilization processes. The SCBI may be used in the following steam sterilization cycles:

| Cycle Type | Cycle Temperature | Cycle Exposure Time |
|---------------|-------------------|---------------------|
| Gravity | 121°C | 30 minutes |
| Gravity | 132°C | 10 minutes |
| Flash Gravity | 132°C | 3 minutes* |
| Pre-Vac | 132°C | 4 minutes |
| Pre-Vac | 135°C | 3 minutes |

*Unwrapped nonporous devices only.

Each incubation cavily also has an electronic monitoring system that detects if the Bl is either purple or yellow.

The Smart-Well Model 1710 EZTest Incubator can also be supplied with a printer which documents each individual Smart-Read EZTest Steam SCBI tested. The printer can also display information that is normally entered into a log book. The printer can also be configured to display Bl exposure information that includes Bl Lot number, Sterilizer number, User identification and Cycle ID. If no selection is made for these options during the BI Wizard set up, the printed report will print a "?" mark indicating no selection was made.

The printed record will always indicate incubation cavity being reported. Bl results (status), incubation start date and time when the SCB! was placed into the incubation cavity and the total time of incubation. The result options are 1) NEGATIVE (purple)-incubation time completed with no detectable color change in the Smart-Read EZTest unit, 2) POSITIVE (yellow)—time that a yellow color was detected in the Smart-Read EZTest unit, or 3) TESTING-when a printout is requested and event 1) or 2) have not happened.
