Device Story
Chemical indicator strip for vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization monitoring; non-cellulose coated strip in film laminate. Input: exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide (time, temperature, concentration). Operation: color changes from blue to pink along strip; progression visible through window with 'REJECT' and 'ACCEPT' zones. Used in healthcare facilities for pack control monitoring within wrapped trays, rigid containers, or pouches. Output: visual colorimetric indicator of sterilization cycle completion. Healthcare providers use output to verify sterilization parameters were achieved; ensures sterility assurance of processed items; benefits patient by confirming effective sterilization of surgical instruments.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Simulated use testing performed in the STERIS V-PRO s2 sterilizer across Lumen, Non-Lumen, Flexible, and Fast cycles. Results confirmed the indicator correctly transitions to 'ACCEPT' in complete cycles and remains in 'REJECT' for incomplete cycles.
Technological Characteristics
Non-cellulose based coated indicator strip in film laminate. Colorimetric sensing principle (blue to pink). Shelf life: 15 months. Endpoint specs: 5.1 mg/L concentration, 1 minute exposure, 50°C temperature.
Indications for Use
Indicated for pack control monitoring of hydrogen peroxide sterilization cycles in specified STERRAD and STERIS V-PRO systems. No specific patient population or contraindications defined.
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 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™ Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide Tri-Metric Chemical Indicator 1348/1348E is a chemical indicator consisting of a non-cellulose based coated indicator strip sensitive to vaporized hydrogen peroxide, contained in a film laminate.
The 3M™ Attest™ CI 1348/1348E verifies that the stated values for the three critical parameters of exposure time, temperature, and amount of vaporized hydrogen peroxide have been achieved within a package or containment device (i.e. wrapped trays, rigid containers, sterilization pouches, and other types of packs) and/or at a specific location within the load or empty chamber.
Upon exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide, the color of the coated indicator strip progressively changes from blue toward pink along the strip. The progression of the blue to pink color change along the strip is visible through a window with marked "REJECT" and "ACCEPT" zones. The extent of the progression depends on exposure time, temperature, and amount of vaporized hydrogen peroxide.
## 4. Indications for Use
Use the 3M™ Attest™ Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide Tri-Metric Chemical Indicator 1348/1348E for pack control monitoring of the following hydrogen peroxide sterilization sterilizers and cycles: STERRAD® 100S System, STERRAD® NX® System (Standard and Advanced cycles), STERRAD® NX® System with AllClear™ Technology (Standard and Advanced cycles), STERRAD® 100NX® System (Standard, Flex, Express and Duo cycles) STERRAD® 100NX® System with AllClear™ Technology
