Intended Use

Sterisheet Sterilization Wraps are single use non-woven sterilization wraps intended to enclose medical devices that are to be sterilized at a healthcare facility. They are used in the 12 hour sterilization cycle at 20-29°C in the Anprolene AN75 Ethylene Oxide Gas Sterilizer.

Device Story

Single-use non-woven sterilization wrap; composed of cellulose, polypropylene fibers, and synthetic binders. Used by healthcare personnel to enclose medical devices prior to sterilization in Anprolene AN75 Ethylene Oxide (EO) gas sterilizer. Cellulose allows EO penetration while providing microbial barrier; synthetic fibers/binders provide mechanical strength and drapeability. Used with AN85/AN86 EO indicators to verify processing. After 12-hour sterilization cycle, wrap maintains sterility of enclosed devices for at least 3 months. Benefits include effective sterilization and post-processing sterility maintenance for surgical instruments and medical devices.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing included compliance with ISO 11607-1 for package integrity, material compatibility, and biocompatibility. Sterilization efficacy validated using half-dose method to achieve 10^-6 sterility assurance level (SAL). Shelf-life studies confirmed sterility maintenance for at least 3 months post-processing.

Technological Characteristics

Non-woven wrap; materials: cellulose, polypropylene, synthetic binders. Dimensions: 18"x18" to 54"x72". Sensing: uses external AN85/AN86 EO indicators (yellow-green to blue color change). Complies with ISO 11607-1. Designed for EO gas sterilization.

Indications for Use

Indicated for healthcare facilities to enclose medical devices for sterilization in the Anprolene AN75 Ethylene Oxide Gas Sterilizer (12-hour cycle, 20-29°C). Validated for loads up to 24 lbs metal instruments, 3 lbs fabric, or 3.5 lbs plastic devices.

Regulatory Classification
