Indications for Use
The Crosstex VH2O2 Chemical Indicators are intended for use as process indicators for all vaporized hydrogen peroxide cycles in the STERRAD® 100S, 200, 100NX (Standard, Duo, Flex & Express), NX (Standard & Advanced), STERIS® V-PRO® 1, V-PRO® 1 Plus, V-PRO® maX, and Sterilucent™ PSD-85 sterilization processes. The Crosstex VH2O2Chemical Indicators are intended to be used by health care providers with articles such as sterilization wraps, containers, cassettes, or pouches to distinguish between processed and unprocessed units. Chemical indicators change to a color of blue after exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide. Colors other than blue such as yellow/green should be treated as a process failure.
Device Story
Crosstex VH2O2 Chemical Indicators are process indicators used in vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization cycles. The device consists of a synthetic substrate treated with H2O2-sensitive indicator ink, available in label, card, strip, or tape formats. Healthcare providers place the indicator with sterilization wraps, containers, cassettes, or pouches before processing. Upon exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide, the indicator ink undergoes a chemical reaction, changing color from yellow/green to blue. This visual change allows providers to distinguish between processed and unprocessed units. If the indicator does not turn blue, it indicates a process failure. The device is used in clinical settings to ensure that items have been subjected to the sterilization process, aiding in the management of sterile supplies.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance was evaluated per ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11140-1:2014 standards. Testing confirmed the device transitions to blue in STERRAD 100NX DUO cycles without ink bleeding. Biocompatibility testing per ISO 11140-2:2014 confirmed no toxic substance release or ink migration. Post-sterilization color stability was verified after 6 months of fluorescent light exposure.
Technological Characteristics
Synthetic substrate with H2O2-sensitive indicator ink. Form factors include label, card, strip, and tape. Operates via chemical reaction to vaporized hydrogen peroxide. Complies with ISO 11140-1:2014 (Type 1 Process Indicator) and ISO 11140-2:2014. Shelf-life is 2 years.
Indications for Use
Indicated for monitoring all vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization cycles in STERRAD 100S, 200, 100NX, NX, STERIS V-PRO 1, V-PRO 1 Plus, V-PRO maX, and Sterilucent PSD-85 systems. Used by healthcare providers with sterilization wraps, containers, cassettes, or pouches to distinguish processed from unprocessed units.
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.

Dear Pablo Martinez:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's
{1}------------------------------------------------
requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
