## Indications for Use

The Verify Biological Indicator Challenge Pack for Vaporized VH2O2 Sterilization Processes is intended for qualification testing of the Amsco® V-PRO™ 1 (cleared under K073618) and Amsco V-PRO 1 Plus (Lumen and Non Lumen Cycles) Low Temperature Sterilization Systems following installation, relocation, malfunctions or major repairs. The challenge pack is placed in an otherwise empty sterilizer chamber; a hospital-defined challenge load is not included. The challenge pack is not intended for routine monitoring of V-PRO Sterilizers. It has been tested and validated solely for use in periodic testing of the V-PRO 1 and V-PRO 1 Plus Sterilizers. The Verify Biological Indicator Challenge Pack for Vaporized VH2O2 Sterilization Processes is intended for qualification testing of the following cycles: Amsco V-PRO 1 Cycle, Amsco V-PRO 1 Plus Lumen Cycle (Sterilant/Injection 2.1g, 4 injections, 32 min exposure), Amsco V-PRO 1 Plus Non Lumen Cycle (Sterilant/Injection 2.1g, 4 injections, 12 min exposure).

## Device Story

Biological indicator process challenge device for vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VH2O2) sterilization. Contains Verify V-PRO Chemical Indicator (CI) and Verify V24 Self-Contained Biological Indicator (SCBI). Placed in empty sterilizer chamber for qualification testing. Post-cycle, CI checked for color change; SCBI activated via STERIS Verify SCBI HP activator (seals vial, ruptures media ampoule). SCBI incubated at 55-60°C for 24 hours. Pass: media remains orange/non-turbid; Fail: media turns yellow/turbid. Used by healthcare providers in clinical settings to verify sterilizer performance after maintenance or installation.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Resistance characterization demonstrated challenge pack resistance equivalent or greater than the biological model used to validate the V-PRO 1 Plus Non Lumen Cycle. Simulated use evaluation confirmed Verify V-PRO CI and Verify V24 SCBI yielded passing results under worst-case conditions.

## Technological Characteristics

Biological indicator process challenge device containing a chemical indicator and a self-contained biological indicator (SCBI). SCBI requires external activator for media release. Incubation required at 55-60°C. No electronic components or software.

## Regulatory 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. Predicate Device

Verify Biological Indicator Challenge Pack for Vaporized | VH2O2 Sterilization Processes, K073618, January 7, 2009. Cleared as Verify Sirius Biological Indicator Challenge Pack.

#### 3. Description of Device

The Verify Biological Indicator Challenge Pack for Vaporized |VH2O2 Sterilization Processes is used by healthcare providers for qualification testing of the Amsco V-PRO1M 1 Low Temperature Sterilization System and the Amsco® V-PROTM 1 Plus Low Temperature Sterilization System (Lumen and Non Lumen Cycles) following installation, relocation, malfunctions or major repairs. The challenge pack is placed in an otherwise empty sterilizer chamber; a hospital-defined challenge load is not included.

The user places the Verify Biological Indicator Challenge Pack into the Amsco V-PRO Sterilizer and performs a sterilization cycle. After cycle completion, the Verify V-PRO Chemical Indicator (CI) and the Verify V24 Self-Contained Biological Indicator (SCBI) contained in the challenge pack are retrieved. The CI is accessed for a passing color change immediately and the SCBI can either be immediately activated or it can be held at room temperature for a maximum of 72 hours (3 days) prior to activation.

The SCBI is activated by sealing the vial and rupturing the media ampoule using the STERIS Verify SCBI HP activator. The activator automatically seals the SCBI vial and releases the growth media.

The activated SCBI is incubated at 55-60 ℃ for 24 hours. The SCBI indicates a pass if the media remains orange and non-turbid. The SCBI indicates a failure if the media changes from orange to yellow and/or if the media is turbid.
