Intended Use

The CELERITY 20 HP Challenge Pack is intended for qualification testing of the V-PRO Low Temperature Sterilization System following installation, relocation, malfunctions or major repairs and for routine requalification testing. The Challenge Pack is placed in an otherwise empty sterilizer chamber; a hospital-defined challenge load is not included. The challenge pack is not intended for routine monitoring of the V-PRO Sterilizers. It has been tested and validated solely for use in periodic testing of the sterilizers.

Device Story

Challenge pack contains self-contained biological indicator (SCBI) and chemical indicator (CI) within sealed pouch; used for qualification/requalification of V-PRO Low Temperature Sterilization Systems. Healthcare provider places pack in empty sterilizer chamber; performs sterilization cycle. Post-cycle, CI checked for color change; SCBI activated by puncturing cap to release media. SCBI incubated at 55-60°C in CELERITY HP Incubator for viability determination within 20 minutes. Output provides verification of sterilization process efficacy. Used in clinical settings to ensure system performance after maintenance or installation. Benefits patient by confirming sterilization equipment functions correctly, reducing risk of improperly sterilized instruments.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance testing included simulated use testing in worst-case loads and cycle-specific testing to ensure the pack provides an equivalent or greater challenge to the sterilization cycle than the biological model under worst-case conditions. All tests met acceptance criteria.

Technological Characteristics

Sealed sterilization pouch containing SCBI, CI, and barrier material. Requires CELERITY HP Incubator for SCBI processing (55-60°C incubation). Connectivity: Standalone system. Sterilization: V-PRO Low Temperature Sterilization System. Technical design is functionally identical to predicate, utilizing cleared BI and CI components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for qualification and routine requalification testing of V-PRO Low Temperature Sterilization Systems following installation, relocation, malfunctions, or major repairs. Not for routine monitoring of sterilizers.

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.

Predicate Device VERIFY V24 Biological Indicator Challenge Pack K140499 #### 3. Description of Device The CELERITY 20 HP Challenge Pack (pack), is used by healthcare providers for qualification testing of the V-PRO Low Temperature Sterilization Systems. The pack is placed in an otherwise empty sterilizer chamber; a hospital-defined challenge load is not included. The user places the pack into the V-PRO Sterilizer and performs a sterilization cycle. After cycle completion, the VERIFY HPU Chemical Indicator (CI) and the CELERITY 20 HP Biological Indicator* (BI) contained in the pack are retrieved. The CI is assessed for a passing color change immediately and the BI can either be immediately activated or it can be held at room temperature for a maximum of 72 hours (3 days) prior to activation. The BI is activated by sealing the vial and thus puncturing the cap to release the contained media. The activated SCBI is incubated at 55-60 ℃ in the CELERITY HP Incubator** for a final determination of viability within 20 minutes of incubation. #### 4. Intended Use/ Indications for Use The CELERITY 20 HP Challenge Pack is intended for qualification testing of the V-PRO Low Temperature Sterilization System following installation, relocation, malfunctions or major repairs and for routine requalification testing.
