Device Class
Class 2
Intended Use
Use the 3M Attest Super Rapid 5 Steam-Plus Challenge Pack 41482V in conjunction with the 3M Attest Autoreader 490 or 3M Attest Auto-reader 490H having software version 4.0.0 or greater to qualify or monitor dynamic-air-removal steam sterilization cycles of 4 minutes at 270°F (132°C) and 3 minutes at 275°F (135°C).
Device Story
Challenge pack contains 1492V biological indicator (BI) and steam chemical integrator within medical index card layers; overwrapped and labeled. Used in healthcare facilities to monitor steam sterilization efficacy. BI provides rapid fluorescent readout via 3M Attest Autoreader (490/490H); fluorescence indicates sterilization failure. Chemical integrator provides immediate accept/reject result for emergency implant load release. External process indicator changes color (yellow to brown/darker) upon steam exposure. Healthcare providers use results to verify sterilization cycle success; failure results prevent use of processed items, ensuring patient safety by preventing use of non-sterile instruments.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing demonstrated the challenge pack is at least as resistant as the AAMI 16-towel PCD and provides greater resistance than the biological indicator alone. Compliance with ISO 11138-1:2017, ISO 11138-3:2017, ISO 11140-1:2014, and USP <1035>/<55> standards confirmed.
Technological Characteristics
Challenge pack consists of medical index card layers, die-cut to hold indicators, overwrapped. Includes 1492V biological indicator (60±2°C incubation) and steam chemical integrator. External process indicator (yellow to brown). Connectivity via 3M Attest Autoreader 490/490H (v4.0.0+). Standards: ISO 11138-1/3, ISO 11140-1, ANSI/AAMI ST79.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualifying or monitoring dynamic-air-removal steam sterilization cycles (4 min at 270°F/132°C or 3 min at 275°F/135°C) in healthcare facilities using 3M Attest Autoreader 490/490H (v4.0.0+).
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 Mary Fretland:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for
{1}------------------------------------------------
devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

## Indications for Use
Use 3M™ Attest™ Super Rapid 5 Steam-Plus Challenge Pack 41482V in conjunction with the 3MTM Attest™ Auto-reader 490 or 3M™ Attest™ Auto-reader 490H having software version 4.0.0 or greater to qualify or monitor dynamic-air-removal steam sterilization cycles of 4 minutes at 270°F (132°C) and 3 minutes at 275°F (135°C).
## Description of Device:
The 3M™ Attest™ Super Rapid 5 Steam-Plus Challenge Pack 41482V is specifically designed to qualify or routinely challenge dynamic-air-removal steam sterilization cycles of 4 minutes at 270°F (132°C) and 3 minutes at 275°F (135°C).
The 41482V Challenge Packs consist of multiple layers of medical index cards, some of which are die-cut to contain monitoring products. The pack is overwrapped and secured with a label. The Challenge Pack has the same design as the predicate device except for a change to the chemical integrator contained within the Challenge Pack. Each 41482V Challenge Pack contains a 1492V BI and a 3M™ Attest™ Steam Chemical Integrator. The 1492V BI is specifically designed for a rapid fluorescent result when used in conjunction with the 3M™ Attest™ Autoreader 490 or the 3MTM Attest™ Auto-reader 490H (software version 4.0.0 or greater). A fluorescence change indicates a steam sterilization process failure. 3MTM Attest™ 1492V BI controls are provided with the Challenge Packs. The 3M™ Attest™ Chemical Integrator offers an immediate Accept/Reject result that allows for implant load early release in emergency situations as defined in AAMI ST79. Each Challenge Pack has a process indicator on the outside of the device that changes from yellow to brown or darker when exposed to steam.
