Intended Use
Use the 3M™ Comply™ Hydrogen Peroxide Chemical Indicator 1248 as an internal pack process indicator to verify exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide in the STERRAD® 100, 100S, NX® (Standard and Advanced cycles), 100NX® (Standard, Flex, Express and Duo cycles), AMSCO® V-PRO™ 1 (Lumen cycle), AMSCO® V-PRO™ 1 Plus (Lumen and Non Lumen cycles), and AMSCO® V-PRO™ maX Low Temperature Sterilization System (Lumen, Non Lumen, and Flexible cycles) sterilizers. The chemical indicator bar turns from blue to pink after exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide.
Device Story
Chemical indicator for vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization; consists of noncellulosic plastic strip with printed chemical indicator bar and reference color match; used as internal pack process indicator in healthcare facilities; indicator bar changes from blue to pink upon exposure to hydrogen peroxide vapor; provides visual confirmation of sterilization cycle exposure; aids healthcare personnel in verifying sterilization process; no direct patient contact; indirect patient exposure via sterilized instruments deemed minimal.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data included. Performance verified through color change testing across six lots in AMSCO V-PRO maX cycles (Lumen, Non Lumen, Flexible) and stability testing under office lighting for 4 weeks.
Technological Characteristics
Noncellulosic plastic substrate; alkali blue 6B dye indicator; visual color change (blue to pink); 2-year shelf life; 4-week post-exposure endpoint stability; passive chemical indicator; no energy source or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an internal pack process indicator to verify exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide in specified STERRAD and AMSCO V-PRO low-temperature sterilization systems.
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.

## Biocompatibility
The components of the indicator ink used on the 3MTM Comply™ Hydrogen Peroxide Chemical Indicator 1248 are all of low general toxicity. The exposure to the health care professional is minimal and well below any identified toxic thresholds for the compounds. There is no anticipated direct exposure to the patient. Indirect exposure to the patient via potential exposure to medical instruments with the indicator ink is minimal and well below any identified toxic thresholds for the compounds.
#### Summary of Nonclinical Testing
The effectiveness of the 3M™ Comply™ Hydrogen Peroxide Chemical Indicator 1248 is demonstrated by the following tests:
- Color Change in Health Care Facility Cycle Samples from six different lots were verified to meet the requirements for detectable color change in the AMSCO® V-PRO™ maX Low Temperature Sterilization System (Lumen, Non Lumen and Flexible cycles) sterilizer.
- Minimum Exposure Parameters to Affect the Change of the Indicator in Health Care Facility Cycle - Samples from six different lots were evaluated to determine the minimum time required for the color change of the indicator when used in the AMSCO® V-PROTM maX Low Temperature Sterilization System (Lumen, Non Lumen and Flexible cycles).
{7}------------------------------------------------
- End Point Color Stability Samples from six different lots were verified to be stable to storage under typical office lighting conditions for at least one month (4 weeks) post-exposure in a Hydrogen Peroxide Health Care Facility Cycle.
### Conclusion
The 3M™ Comply™ Hydrogen Peroxide Chemical Indicator 1248 is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate, K150622, 3M™ Comply™ Hydrogen Peroxide Chemical Indicator 1248.
