Indications for Use
The VERIFY® Chemical Indicator for SYSTEM 1E® and SYSTEM 1® endo Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing Systems is a peracetic acid concentration indicator for routine monitoring of SYSTEM 1E® and SYSTEM 1® endo Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing Systems that employ S40 Sterilant Concentrate in a controlled cycle. The unprocessed Chemical Indicator for SYSTEM 1E® and SYSTEM 1® endo Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing Systems is blue. When exposed in a STERIS automated liquid chemical sterilant processor to a concentration of >1820 ppm (mg/L) peracetic acid found in the S40 use dilution during a controlled 6-minute exposure at 45.5 - 60°C, the indicator changes color from blue through an intermediate beige and then to the endpoint color, pink. The indicator may become more pink when exposed to higher peracetic acid concentrations in S40 sterilant use dilution.
Device Story
Single-use chemical indicator; polypropylene strip with indicator ink; covered by clear, sterilant-permeable laminate. Monitors peracetic acid (PAA) concentration at point of use in automated liquid chemical sterilant processing systems. Principle of operation: oxidation-based bleaching of Lissamine green B dye; color shifts from blue to beige to pink upon exposure to >1820 ppm PAA during 6-minute cycle at 45.5-60°C. Used in clinical settings by healthcare personnel operating STERIS automated processors. Provides visual confirmation of sterilant concentration; ensures cycle parameters met; aids in verifying effective sterilization process; benefits patient by confirming instrument reprocessing quality.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics

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 Anthony Piotrkowski:
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 (the 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 available 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.

#### 3. Device Description
The VERIFY® Chemical Indicator for SYSTEM 1E® and SYSTEM 1® endo Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing Systems is a single-use chemical indicator consisting of a polypropylene strip with indicator ink printed on one end. The indicator is covered by a clear, sterilant-permeable laminate to protect the strip from damage during handling and prevent the indicator ink from leaching from the substrate. The indicator monitors the peracetic acid (PAA) concentration of the STERIS S40 Sterilant Concentrate at the point of use in an automated liquid chemical sterilant processing system that uses S40 Sterilant Concentrate and provides a controlled 6-minute exposure at 45.5 - 60°C during a processing cycle.
#### 4. Intended Use/Indications for Use:
The VERIFY® Chemical Indicator for SYSTEM 1E® and SYSTEM 1® endo Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing Systems is a peracetic acid concentration indicator for routine monitoring of SYSTEM 1E® and SYSTEM 1® endo Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing Systems that employ S40 Sterilant Concentrate in a controlled cycle.
The unprocessed Chemical Indicator for SYSTEM 1E® and SYSTEM 1® endo Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing Systems is blue. When exposed in a STERIS automated liquid chemical sterilant processor to a concentration of >1820 ppm (mg/L) peracetic acid found in the S40 use dilution during a controlled 6-minute exposure at 45.5 - 60°C, the indicator changes color from blue through an intermediate beige and then to the endpoint color, pink. The indicator may become more pink when exposed to higher peracetic acid concentrations in S40 sterilant use dilution.

#### ડ. Description of Technological Characteristics
The proposed device and its predicate are physically identical. The more descriptive intended use statement will identify use of the Chemical Indicator in specific STERIS automated liquid chemical sterilant processors that use S40 Sterilant Concentrate. This includes the indicator's intended use in the SYSTEM 1E Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing System and the SYSTEM 1 endo Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing System.
The proposed device, like the predicate, indicates exposure to a targeted effective concentration of peracetic acid by a color change from blue through intermediate beige and then pink endpoint color when exposed for 6 minutes to concentrations of peracetic acid greater than 1820 ppm at 45.5 - 60°C during the liquid chemical sterilant processing system's standard cycle.
