• Submission Type: Traditional
• Regulation: 21 CFR 880.2800
• Device Class: Class 2

Intended Use

Cross-Checks P chemical process indicator strips are designed to be used in the Sterrad sterilizer. Cross-Checks P Process Indicator Strips will exhibit a blue to red color change when exposed to hydrogen peroxide during the dillusion phase of the Sterrad cycle. When used as directed, the Cross Checks P strips give visible confirmation that the item has been exposed to hydrogen peroxide during the Sterrad Cycle.

Device Story

SteriTec Cross-Checks P are chemical process indicator strips used to verify exposure to hydrogen peroxide in Sterrad sterilizers. The device consists of indicator ink printed on Tyvek plastic. During the diffusion phase of the sterilization cycle, the indicator undergoes a color change from blue to red. This visual change confirms that the processed item has been exposed to the sterilant. The device is intended for use by healthcare personnel in clinical settings to monitor sterilization cycles. It provides a qualitative visual output that assists in confirming the completion of the sterilization exposure process, thereby helping ensure that items have been subjected to the required sterilization conditions.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance was evaluated by running 200 strips per exposure time interval (10, 15, 25, and 30 minutes) in a Sterrad cycle. Results showed incomplete color change at 10 and 15 minutes, possible pass at 25 minutes, and complete color change at 30 minutes.

Technological Characteristics

Indicator ink printed on Tyvek plastic substrate. Dimensions: 4" x 5/8". Principle: Chemical color change (blue to red) upon exposure to hydrogen peroxide. Class II device (80JOJ).

Indications for Use

Indicated for use as a chemical process indicator in Sterrad sterilizers to provide visible confirmation of exposure to hydrogen peroxide during the diffusion phase of the sterilization cycle.

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.
