Indications for Use
Use the 3M™ Comply™ Hydrogen Peroxide Indicator Tape 1228 to secure packs and as an external pack process indicator to differentiate unprocessed items from items processed in the STERRAD® 100, 100S, NX® (Standard and Advanced cycles) and 100NX® (Standard, Flex, Express and Duo cycles) sterilization processes. The tape is suitable for use on non-woven disposable wraps and peel pouches. The chemical indicator stripes turn from blue to pink after exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide.
Device Story
Device is a chemical indicator tape used to secure sterilization packs and provide visual confirmation of exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide. Consists of non-cellulosic plastic backing with pressure-sensitive adhesive and chemical indicator stripes (alkali blue 6B dye). Used in healthcare facilities to differentiate processed from unprocessed items. Upon exposure to hydrogen peroxide vapor in specified STERRAD® cycles, indicator stripes undergo a color change from blue to pink. Healthcare personnel apply tape to external surfaces of wraps or pouches; visual inspection of color change post-sterilization confirms exposure to the process. Benefits include simple, reliable verification of sterilization cycle exposure for medical instruments.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data included. Effectiveness demonstrated via bench testing, including verification of color change and post-sterilization adhesion across six lots in STERRAD® NX® and 100NX® cycles, and assessment of endpoint color stability for 12 months.
Technological Characteristics
Non-cellulosic plastic backing; pressure-sensitive adhesive; alkali blue 6B dye indicator ink. Color change: blue to pink. Shelf life: 18 months. Endpoint stability: 12 months. Sterilization process: vaporized hydrogen peroxide.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an external pack process indicator to differentiate processed from unprocessed items in STERRAD® 100, 100S, NX®, and 100NX® sterilization cycles. Suitable for use on non-woven disposable wraps and peel pouches in healthcare settings.
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.

### Biocompatibility
The components of the indicator ink used on the 3M™ Comply™Hydrogen Peroxide Indicator Tape 1228 are all of low general toxicity. The exposure to the health care professional is minimal and well below any identified toxic thresholds for the compounds. There is no anticipated exposure to medical instruments with the ink, nor to the patient.
### Effectiveness
The effectiveness of the 3M™ Comply™ Hydrogen Peroxide Indicator Tape 1228 is demonstrated by the following tests:
- Performance in a Health Care Facility Cycle Samples from six different lots were verified to meet the requirements for detectable color change and poststerilization adhesion in the STERRAD® NX® (Standard and Advanced cycles) and the STERRAD® 100NX® (Standard, Flex, Express and Duo cycles) sterilizers.
- Minimum Exposure Parameters to Affect the Change of the Indicator in a Health Care Facility Cycle - Samples from six different lots were evaluated to determine the minimum time required for the color change of the indicator when used in the STERRAD NX® (Standard and Advanced cycles) and the STERRAD® 100NX® (Standard, Flex, Express and Duo cycles) sterilizers.
- End Point Color Stability Samples from four different lots were verified to be stable to storage under typical office lighting conditions for at least twelve months post-exposure in a Hydrogen Peroxide Health Care Facility Cycle.
## Conclusion
Testing was conducted to confirm performance of the 3M™ Comply™ Hydrogen Peroxide Indicator Tape 1228 with the STERRAD® NX® and STERRAD® 100NX® per FDA's Premarket Notification [510(k)] Submissions for Chemical Indicators; Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, December 19, 2003.
The 3M™ Comply" Hydrogen Peroxide Indicator Tape 1228 is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. There are no new questions of safety or effectiveness.
