DEN230085 is an FDA 510(k) submission (not cleared) for the VERIFY RESI-TEST SLIDE-THRU Cleaning Process Protein (CPP) Indicator. Classified as Qualitative Cleaning Process Protein Indicator (product code SDC), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Steris (Mentor, US). The FDA issued a Not Cleared (DENG) decision on November 12, 2024 after a review of 330 days.

This device falls under the General Hospital FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 880.6930 - the FDA general hospital device framework. The Traditional 510(k) pathway requires demonstration of substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device - a standard the FDA determined was not met in this submission.

Device pattern: Regulatory edge-case submission. High predicate equivalence gap. With 330 days under review and no clearance granted, this submission reflects a case where the FDA could not confirm sufficient predicate equivalence - often indicating either a novel device category or unresolved safety and performance questions.
