Intended Use
Terragene Bionova® SCBI (BT220, BT221, BT222, BT223) is a self-contained biological indicator inoculated with viable 10f Geobacillus stearothermophilus bacterial spores and is intended for monitoring the effication processes. Oneach Terragene Bionova® SCB is a chemical process indicator that changes color from pink to brown when exposed to steam. Terragene Bionova® PCD (PCD220-C. PCD222-C. PCD222-C. PCD222-2) provides a defined challenge resistance against the claimed cycles shown below and also demonstrated resistance equivalence to the AAMI/ANSI 16 towel pack. The device provides routine monitoring and sterilizer qualification testing steam sterilization processes. Terragene Bionova® IC10/20FR Reader Incubates at 60 ℃ and reads the Terragene Bionova® SCBI (BT220, BT221, BT222, and BT223) for fluorescent results at 30 minutes (BT221, BT222), and 3 hours (BT220)
Device Story
System comprises self-contained biological indicators (SCBI) containing Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores, process challenge devices (PCD), and an automated reader-incubator. SCBIs include chemical process indicators (pink-to-brown color change). Reader-incubator maintains 60°C; detects fluorescence from SCBI enzymatic activity to provide rapid sterilization results (30 minutes to 3 hours). Used in clinical settings to monitor steam sterilization efficacy; provides objective verification of sterilization cycles. Replaces traditional long-term incubation methods; enables faster release of sterilized instruments.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance validated through resistance testing against AAMI/ANSI 16 towel packs, fluorescence detection sensitivity, and verification of sterilization cycle efficacy across specified gravity displacement and dynamic air removal parameters.
Technological Characteristics
System includes SCBIs with Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores, PCDs, and a 60°C reader-incubator. SCBIs feature chemical process indicators (pink-to-brown). Fluorescence-based detection of enzymatic activity. Connectivity: Standalone reader-incubator. Sterilization: Steam.
Indications for Use
Indicated for monitoring steam sterilization processes, including routine monitoring and sterilizer qualification testing. Used by healthcare personnel in clinical settings to verify sterilization efficacy.
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 Raymond Kelly:
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.
