Indications for Use

Use the VERIFY Incubator for Assert VH2O2 Self Contained Biological Indicators (Incubator) to incubate and automatically read VERIFY Assert VH2O2 Self-Contained Biological Indicators at 57 °C for a fluorescent result within 20 minutes.

Device Story

The VERIFY Incubator is a benchtop reader/incubator used to monitor sterilization cycles. It accepts VERIFY Assert VH2O2 Self-Contained Biological Indicators (SCBI) containing Geobacillus stearothermophilus. The device maintains a constant temperature (55-60°C) to facilitate the outgrowth of the biological indicator. It uses UV LEDs to excite a fluorescent moiety produced by enzymatic activity within the SCBI; a photodiode detects the resulting fluorescence. If fluorescence increases, the device identifies the SCBI as 'positive,' indicating a potential sterilization failure. Results are communicated to the user via an LCD screen, audible alarms, and front-panel LED indicators. The device is operated by healthcare personnel in clinical environments. It provides rapid (20-minute) results, allowing for timely assessment of sterilization cycle success or failure, thereby helping to ensure the sterility of processed medical instruments.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance testing demonstrated >97% alignment between the 20-minute fluorescent read and 7-day growth results, consistent with FDA guidance for reduced incubation time. Testing confirmed the device correctly identifies positive results for abbreviated cycle exposures and negative results for full cycle exposures. Alarm, LED, and print functions were verified as operational.

Technological Characteristics

Benchtop incubator/reader with 8 wells. Operates at 55-60°C. Uses UV LED excitation and photodiode detection for fluorescence. Powered by 100-240 VAC with 12 VDC conversion. Factory calibrated. Complies with IEC 61010-1, IEC 61010-2-010, and EMC standards (FCC Part 15, IEC 61326, EN 55011).

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in clinical settings to incubate and automatically read VERIFY Assert VH2O2 Self-Contained Biological Indicators (SCBI) to monitor sterilization cycle 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.

The measurement of fluorescence is initiated by placement of a VERIFY Assert SCBI into any of the incubation wells and pressing the adjacent "ACTION" button. When an SCBI is placed into a well, the auto-reader detects its presence. Upon pressing the button associated with that well, a blinking yellow light indicates that incubation is in process and the read initiated. A "positive" reading is interpreted as an indication of a potential sterilization cycle failure. A "positive" finding is indicated to the user by red light on the front panel adjacent to the well, by an audible alarm, and by text displayed on the LCD screen. The alarm must be muted by the operator when a positive result is obtained. The LCD screen provides instructions for the user to turn off the alarm for that specific SCBI. Should another BI become "positive", the alarm will sound again and the above actions are repeated. If the result is not positive at the end of the incubation time, the result is negative. Negative results are identified by a green light on the front panel adjacent to the well with the "negative" BI and by text on the LCD. | The measurement of fluorescence is initiated by placement of an Attest SCBI into any of the incubation wells. The reader/incubator wells are color-coded to match the color of the top of the SCBIs. The incubator block may be color coded. When a BI is placed into a well, its presence is detected. The LCD screen below the SCBI shows the time remaining to complete the incubation period. Detection of a positive result is indicated by a '+' sign on the LCD screen, accompanied by an audible alarm. A positive result is indicative of a sterilization cycle failure. The alarm must be muted by the operator when a positive result is obtained. Pressing the mute button disables the alarm only for the specific SCBI which was just identified as positive. Should another BI become "positive", the alarm will again sound. If the result is not positive at the end of the incubation time, the result is negative. Negative results are identified by a '- 'sign on the LCD screen. | Both have similar modes of operation only one type of biological indicator is intended for use with the proposed device so no color coding is required and both alarm for a positive BI. | | Feature | VERIFY Incubator for Assert VH2O2 SCBI (proposed) | Attest 390 (K123546) Predicate | Comparison | | Indication of Results | Positive - audible alarm, visual LED lights and screen Negative - no alarm, visual indication with LED lights and LCD screen User must acknowledge results | Positive – audible alarm (if enabled), “+” indication on LCD panel, and flashing of LCD panel backlighting Negative - no alarm, “- ”indication on LCD panel | Similar Indication of Results | | Compliance | Electrical Safety and EMC Testing • IEC 61010-1 (2010) Third Ed • IEC 61010-2-010 (2013) Third Ed Electromagnetic compatibility • USA Title 47, Code of Federal Regulations (2007) for: • Radiated Emissions (FCC Part 15, Subpart B, Class A) • Conducted Emissions (FCC Part 15, Subpart B, Class A) • IEC 61326:2013 - • EN 55011:2009, Inc.
