'Readout Predicate' for RBIP-ST30™: 3M Attest 490 Auto-reader, K103277. ## Description of Device: # BCR-30-min ВГМ The BCR-30-min BITM is designed to be used with its readout accessory, the RBIP-ST30™ robotic processor, for validating and challenging performance of gravity displacement steam sterilization cycles at 250°F (121°C). The BCR-30-min BI™ consists of a strip (6.0 x 60 mm) of filter paper (Whatman GF/A) inoculated in the center with about 106 living spores of Geobacillus stearothermophilus ATCC No. 7953. The strip is packaged in a #30 blue glassine pouch (1 x 3 inch). The BCR-30-min BITM should be placed in the center of the load or in the most difficult to sterilize area. {4}------------------------------------------------ #### RBIP-ST30™ Readout Accessory In the RBIP-ST30™, the spores of the BCR-30-min BI™ are first converted into Fspores™ and then they are incubated for 30 min at 55±2°C to allow germination of living Fspores™. The device utilizes the fact that F-spores™ are not fluorescent per se but produce intense fluorescence when germinated. Accordingly, the RBIP-ST30™ detects failure of a steam sterilization cycle when significant fluorescence is present. The RBIP-ST30™ is designed to automatically process the BCR-30-min BI™ to obtain a fluorescence reading within 30 minutes. The fluorescence results at 30 minutes meet the FDA's requirement of > 97% alignment with the result after the conventional incubation time of 7 days. #### Indications for Use: Use the BCR-30-min BITM and the RBIP-ST30™ together for monitoring performance of gravity displacement steam sterilization cycles of 30 minutes at 250°F (121°C). The BCR-30-min BI™ in conjunction with the RBIP-ST30TM provides final fluorescence results in 30 minutes. # Substantial Equivalence of BCR-30-min BI™ to "Intended Use" Predicate Device 3M Attest™ 1292 Rapid Readout Biological Indicator (K090569): Performance of the BCR-30-min BITM was determined using three (3) separate spore lots from independent spore cultures. A Summary of the Nonclinical Testing is shown in the table below. | DEVICE CHARACTERISTICS | "INTENDED USE PREDICATE"<br>3M Attest™ 1292 BI, K090569 | NEW DEVICE<br>BCR-30-min BI™ | |-------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Intended use<br>• Method of sterilization | Gravity displacement steam | Gravity displacement steam | | Indications for Use | Use the 3M Attest 1292 RRBI and the 3M Attest 490 Auto-reader together for monitoring:<br>1.

Testing of the BCR-30-min BI™ summarized above was conducted following the FDA guidance and standards below: - . FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff Biological Indicator (BI) Premarket Notification 510(k) Submissions; October 4, 2007. - . ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11138-1:2006/(R) 2010 Sterilization of health care products -Biological indicators - Part 1: General Requirements. - . ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11138-3:2006/(R) 2010 Sterilization of health care products -Biological indicators - Part 3: Biological indicators for moist heat sterilization processes - United States Pharmacopeia, Chapter <1035> Biological Indicators for Sterilization . and Chapter <55> Biological Indicators - Resistance Performance Tests. The results of these tests show that the BCR-30-min BI™, when used with the RBIP-ST30™, complies with ANSVAAMI/ISO 11138-1:2006/(R) 2010 and ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11138-3:2006/(R) 2010, the USP requirements for biological indicators, as well as the FDA's Guidance for Biological Indicators. # Substantial Equivalence of RBIP-ST30™ to "Readout Predicate" Device 3M Attest 490 Auto-reader: Since the RBIP-ST30™ is a required readout accessory of the BCR-30-min BT™, the performance of the RBIP-ST30™ was determined at each step during the validation of the BCR-30-min BI™. The table below shows the functionality and characteristics of the new device compared to the predicate. | DEVICE CHARACTERISTICS | "READOUT PREDICATE"<br>3M Attest 490 Auto-reader<br>(K103277) | NEW DEVICE<br>RBIP-ST30TM | |------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Intended use | The 3M Attest 490 Auto-reader is<br>designed to incubate and<br>automatically read the 3M AttestTM<br>1492 BI for a final fluorescent result<br>at 30 min. | The RBIP-ST30TM readout<br>accessory is designed to<br>incubate and automatically read<br>the BCR-30-min BITM for a final<br>fluorescent result at 30 min. | | Incubation Temperature | $56\pm2$ °C | $55\pm2$ °C | {6}------------------------------------------------ | Basis of Rapid Readout | Fluorescence of BI medium | Fluorescence of F-spores™ | |------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------| | Method of Fluorescence<br>Detection | UV LED, optical filters, sensing by<br>photodiode | Blue LED, optical filters,<br>detection, sensing by CCD array | | Indicator of Adequate<br>Sterilization Cycle | (-) on LCD Display. | Fluorescence below cut-off<br>value | | Indicator of Possible<br>Sterilization Cycle Failure | (+) on LCD Display.
