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 Andrew Wingen:

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

{1}------------------------------------------------

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 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 (OS) 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.

#### 3. Description of Device:

The 3M™ Attest™ Mini Auto-reader 490M is a compact, 4-well incubator for processing the steam biological indicators 3M™ Attest™ Super Rapid Readout Biological Indicators 1491 and 1492V, as well as the vaporized hydrogen peroxide biological indicator, 3M™ Attest™ Rapid Readout Biological Indicator 1295. These biological indicators (BIs) are used to monitor sterilization processing equipment. After a sterilization cycle is complete, the Bls are removed from the sterilizer, cooled as needed, activated, and placed into any available well in the Mini Auto-reader 490M. Incubation starts automatically, UV fluorescence, measured during each interval, is analyzed by measuring fluorescent by-product of enzyme that occurs naturally during biological growth of the spore. The maximum time-to-result is 24 minutes at 600C. An LED array on the front panel will display the time remaining for each BI, the result (positive or negative), and any error codes that occur. The device includes USB connectivity for in-field firmware updates, downloading data, and communicating to third party instrument tracking systems.

The 3MM Attest™ Mimi Auto-reader 490M is indicated to work as a system with the 1491, 1492V, and is not compatible with other BIs.

## 6. Nonclinical Comparison to the Predicate Device

The 3M™ Attest™ Mini Auto-reader 490M, like the predicate 3M™ Attest™ 490/490H Auto-reader, is designed to automatically read the 3M™ Attest™ Super Rapid Readout Biological Indicators 1491 and 1492V, as well as 3M™ Attest™ Rapid Readout Biological Indicator 1295, at 60°C for a final fluorescent result at 24 minutes. The hardware and firmware utilized by the Attest™ Mini Auto-reader 490M is similar to the predicate Attest™ 490/490H Auto-reader.

The 3M™ Attest™ Mini Auto-reader 490M has additional software functionality and cloud services functionality via the PC App, 3MTM Attest™ Connect, compared to the predicate 490/490H Auto-reader.

The functional areas of comparison of the submission and predicate auto-readers comprised of temperature testing, analytical sensitivity using standard curves of reference dye solutions, signal-to-noise measurements of fluorescent standards during incubation, and analysis of the fluorescence background measurements of both readers. Comparative BI performance was comprised of testing the 1491, 1492V, and 1295 Bls in both auto-readers under positive control conditions, lethal sterlizer conditions (kill cycle), sub-lethal sterilizer conditions (survive cycle), and reduced incubation time.

The Mini Auto-reader 490M was also tested for safety by Underwriters Laboratory and complies to:

- · IEC 61010-1 (2010) 3rd Edition; Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use – Part 1: General requirements, and
- IEC 61010-2-010 (2014) 3rd Edition; Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use – Part 2-010: Particular requirements for the heating of materials.
- IEC 62471 (2008); Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems

The Mini Auto-reader 490M was tested for electromagnetic compatibility and complies to:

- Class A digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules, and .
- IEC 61326-1 (2013); Electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use EMC requirements. .

## 7. Conclusion

Based on the intended use, technological characteristics and non-clinical performance data, the 3MTM Autoreader 490M is as safe, as effective, and performs at least as well as or better than the predicate, the 3M™ Attest™ Autoreader 490/490H cleared under K173437, Class II (21 CFR 880.2800), product code FRC.
