# 3. Description of Device:
The 3M™ Attest™ Super Rapid Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide Clear Challenge Pack 1295PCD is designed as a standard method of rapid and reliable routine monitoring and performance qualification of vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization processes.
The 1295PCD Challenge Pack consists of a clear plastic shell, with two individual channels allowing for air removal and sterilant penetration. Those two individual channels connect to a cavity containing the monitoring products and all are covered by a foil lid. The 1295PCD is a single-use device.
Each 1295PCD Challenge Pack contains a 3M™ Attest™ Rapid Readout Biological Indicator (BI) 1295 (pink cap) and a 3MTM Attest™ Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide Tri-Metric Chemical Indicator (CI) 1348. The 1348 CI verifies that the stated values for the three critical parameters of exposure time, temperature, and concentration of vaporized hydrogen peroxide have been achieved and offers an ACCEPT or REJECT reading. The 1295 BI is specifically designed for rapid and reliable routine monitoring of vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization processes when used in conjunction with the 3MTM Attest™ Autoreader 490 having software version 4.0.0 or greater or a 3M™ Attest™ Mini Auto-reader 490M or a 3M™ Attest™ Auto-reader 490H. The presence of fluorescence within the specified incubation time for the 1295 BI in the 490, 490M, or the 490H Auto-reader indicates a sterilization process failure. A printed chemical process indicator is present on the cap of the 1295 BI and is visible through the clear plastic shell of the challenge pack. The

# 5. Comparison of Subiect Device to Predicate Device
# Indications for Use
The 3M™ Attest™ Super Rapid Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide Clear Challenge Pack 1295PCD and the predicate device Sterilucent Process Challenge Device (PCD) test pack have the same intended use. Both the subject device and the predicate device are Single Use biological indicator process challenge devices that are intended to be used in healthcare facilities to accompany products being sterilized and to monitor adequacy of the sterilization process. The Indications for Use are similar in that both the predicate and subject challenge test packs are specifically designed as a method of routine monitoring and performance qualification of vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization processes. The subject device covers different sterilizers and cycles compared to the predicate device. The differences in Indications for Use do not alter the fundamental Intended Use of these products as sterilization process monitors and do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
# Technological Characteristics
The 3M™ Attest™ Super Rapid Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide Clear Challenge Pack 1295PCD has similar technological characteristics compared to the predicate Sterilucent Process Challenge Device (PCD) test pack. The subject device is designed and constructed with a clear plastic tray with channels to the cavity containing the Biological Indicator and Chemical Indicator sealed with a foil lid whereas the predicate device consists of a clear polymer vial containing the Biological Indicator and a challenge tube on one end. Both the subject and predicate challenge packs are designed to increase resistance beyond that measured with a standalone BI and both represent a challenge to the sterilization process based on worse case cycle with load. The process indicator on the predicate challenge pack is present on the PCD whereas the process indicator on the subject device is present on the 1295 BI cap which is visible through the clear test pack. Both process indicators change color upon exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VH2O2) and is used by the customer to verify the challenge pack was exposed to VH2O2.
The differences in technological characteristics between the subject and predicate challenge pack are illustrated in the Device Comparison Table (Table 1).

| BI - Mechanism of Action | The 1295 BI utilizes an enzyme system, which is generated naturally within growing cells of <i>Geobacillus stearothermophilus</i> . The enzyme in its active state is detected by measuring the fluorescence produced by the enzymatic reaction with a non-fluorescent substrate. The resultant fluorescent by product is detected in an Auto-reader. The presence of fluorescence within the specified incubation time in the Auto-reader indicates a sterilization process failure. The 1295 BI can also indicate the presence of <i>G. stearothermophilus</i> organisms by a visual pH color change reaction. | The Sterilucent HC 80TT SCBI indicates the presence of <i>G. stearothermophilus</i> organisms by a visual pH color change reaction. | Similar, the 1295 BI utilizes a fluorescence result and also a visual pH color change reaction. |
