Indications for Use

Use the Celerity HP Incubator to incubate and automatically read Celerity 20 HP Biological Indicators at 57 °C for a fluorescent result within 20 minutes.

Device Story

The Celerity HP Incubator is a benchtop reader/incubator used to monitor sterilization efficacy. It accepts Celerity 20 HP Biological Indicators (BIs) containing Geobacillus stearothermophilus. The device maintains a constant 57 °C temperature to facilitate enzyme-based outgrowth of the microorganisms. An internal photodiode detects fluorescence generated by enzyme cleavage of a substrate within the BI. The device features 8 incubation wells; users initiate the process by inserting a BI and pressing an 'ACTION' button. Results are displayed via front-panel LED lights (red for positive/failure, green for negative/pass), an audible alarm, and an LCD screen. Positive results indicate potential sterilization cycle failure, requiring operator acknowledgment. The device is intended for use by healthcare personnel to verify sterilization performance.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance verification included electrical safety (UL 61010-1, UL 61010-2-010), electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 61326-1, FCC Part 15), and functional testing of alarms, LEDs, and output systems. All tests met established acceptance criteria.

Technological Characteristics

Benchtop incubator/reader with 8 wells. Sensing principle: UV LED excitation and photodiode detection of fluorescence. Temperature range: 55-60 °C. Power: 100-240 VAC with 12 VDC conversion. Factory calibrated. Compliance: IEC 61010-1, IEC 61010-2-010, IEC 61326, FCC Part 15.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in clinical or healthcare settings to incubate and automatically read Celerity 20 HP Biological Indicators at 57 °C to detect viable Geobacillus stearothermophilus microorganisms following a sterilization process.

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.

Description of Device Celerity HP Incubator (Incubator) is an incubator/reader designed for use specifically with the Celerity 20 HP Biological Indicator (BI). The incubator/reader provides a constant temperature range to allow for activation and outgrowth of Geobacillus stearothermophilus which is detected by an enzyme that cleaves the a substrate leading to production of a fluorescent moiety. The presence of an increasing fluorescence signal due to increasing concentrations of this fluorescent moiety in the BI is detected by the incubator/reader and indicates the presence of viable test microorganisms. ### ട.

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 reader/incubator wells are arranged in 2 banks of 4 wells and preset to 57℃.
