Indications for Use
The Celerity™ HP Chemical Indicator is a Type 1 vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization process indicator. It is designed to distinguish between processed and unprocessed units, when placed within packs to be sterilized, through a visible change from red to orange/yellow or lighter, when the device has been exposed to the: Lumen, Non Lumen, Flexible, Fast Non Lumen, Fast or Specialty sterilization cycle of a V-PRO® Low Temperature Sterilization System, or Standard, Advanced, Express, Flex Scope or Duo cycles of an ASP STERRAD® System, including those systems with ALLClear Technology.
Device Story
Chemical indicators monitor vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) sterilization cycles. Devices consist of reactive indicator ink printed on polypropylene or spun-bonded polyolefin substrates. When exposed to VHP, ink undergoes a visible color change (e.g., magenta to orange/yellow), confirming exposure to sterilization conditions. Used in clinical settings by healthcare personnel to verify that packs have undergone a sterilization cycle. Output is a visual color change; informs clinical decision-making by ensuring only processed items are used. Benefits include preventing the use of non-sterile instruments.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Simulated use testing was performed to verify the indicators' performance in the V-PRO maX 2 Sterilizer Specialty cycle. Acceptance criteria included complete color change and no reversion (or adherence for tape). All testing met acceptance criteria.
Technological Characteristics
Chemical indicators conforming to ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11140-1:2014. Materials: polypropylene or spun-bonded polyolefin with proprietary reactive indicator ink. Mechanism: chemical reaction to VHP resulting in color change. Form factors: strips, labels, or crepe paper tape. No electronic components or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as a Type 1 vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization process indicator to distinguish between processed and unprocessed units in V-PRO Low Temperature Sterilization Systems and ASP STERRAD Systems.
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.

### 2. Device Description
The VERIFY VH2O2 Indicator Tape (Indicator Tape) is a 3/" wide crepe paper tape printed with diagonal stripes of a vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) reactive ink. The ink is sealed with a varnish, the function of which is to inhibit removal of the ink via transference or by the adhesive (as the tape is dispensed). The reactive ink meets the performance specifications for a Type 1 process indicator for vaporized hydrogen peroxide as defined in ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11140-1:2014.
### 3. Indications for Use:
The Indicator Tape is intended to secure items wrapped in synthetic wrap materials until used and to distinguish between processed and unprocessed units through a color change from the start color (pink) to peach, yellow or lighter. The Indicator Tape is also intended to be used as an external process indicator when applied to synthetic wrap materials and/or Tyvek pouches.
The tape may be used in the following sterilization cycles:
- . Lumen, Non Lumen, Fast Non Lumen, Fast, Flexible, and Specialty Cycles of the V-PRO: 1, 1 Plus, maX, maX 2, 60, and s2 Low Temperature Sterilization Systems.
- STERRAD® 100S Sterilizer (Default Cycle)

### ട്. Performance Testing
Performance testing was completed to simulate typical in-use applications in a V-PRO maX 2 Sterilizer Specialty cycle.
Table 5-8. Verification Results Summary
| Testing | Acceptance Criteria | Study Result |
|-----------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Simulated Use Testing | • Complete color change<br>• Remain adhered after cycle | • Complete color change<br>• Remained adhered after cycle |
The results of the performed testing demonstrate that the VERIFY [VH2O2 Indicator Tape performs as intended.
### 6. Conclusion
Based on the intended uses, technological characteristics and non-clinical performance data, the subject device is as safe, as effective and performs at least as safely and effectively as the legally marketed predicate device (K183293, Class II as per 21 CFR 880.2800, product code JOJ).
