Intended Use
The PRO-LITE Sterilization Trays are used to contain medical devices for sterilization in the Lumen, Non Lumen, Flexible, and Fast Non Lumen Cycles of the V-PRO Low Temperature Sterilization Systems. Prior to placing in the Sterilizer, the trays must either be: wrapped with a legally marketed sterilization wrap for use in the V-PRO Low Temperature Sterilization Systems or placed inside a legally marketed pouch for enclosing trays in the V-PRO Low Temperature Sterilization Systems. The PRO-LITE Sterilization Trays are not intended to maintain sterility; they are intended to be used in conjunction with a validated, FDA-cleared sterilization wrap or pouch in order to maintain sterility of the enclosed medical instruments.
Device Story
PRO-LITE Sterilization Trays are containment devices for medical instruments during low-temperature sterilization. Trays consist of a mineral-filled polypropylene base and lid with clamping mechanisms and ventilation holes for sterilant penetration. Optional silicone mats and organizers stabilize and cushion instruments. Used in clinical settings by healthcare staff; trays are loaded with instruments, wrapped or pouched, and processed in V-PRO sterilizers. Output is a sterilized instrument set ready for storage. Benefits include protection of delicate instruments and validated sterilization of complex devices, including those with diffusion-restricted spaces (hinged instruments, endoscopes).
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included sterilant penetration efficacy for Fast Non Lumen cycles and titanium diffusion-restricted spaces, drying/aeration, material compatibility, biocompatibility, and cleaning validation. All tests passed.
Technological Characteristics
Mineral-filled polypropylene tray base/lid; medical-grade silicone (USP Class VI) mats/organizers; stainless steel components. Vent-to-volume ratio 0.135 in^-1. Designed for V-PRO low-temperature hydrogen peroxide sterilization. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for containing medical devices during sterilization in V-PRO Low Temperature Sterilization Systems (Lumen, Non Lumen, Flexible, and Fast Non Lumen cycles). Patient population includes those requiring surgical procedures involving rigid, semi-rigid, or flexible endoscopes, and instruments with diffusion-restricted spaces (e.g., hinged forceps/scissors). Contraindications: Not for maintaining sterility independently; must be used with validated sterilization wrap or pouch.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A sterilization wrap (pack, sterilization wrapper, bag, or accessories, is a device intended to be used to enclose another medical device that is to be sterilized by a health care provider. It is intended to allow sterilization of the enclosed medical device and also to maintain sterility of the enclosed device until used.

### Dear Jennifer Nalepka:
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. 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 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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820);

#### 3. Description of Device
The PRO-LITE Sterilization Trays contain medical devices for sterilization in the V-PRO Low Temperature Sterilization Systems: V-PRO 1, V-PRO 1 Plus, V-PRO maX, V-PRO 60 and V-PRO maX 2 Low Temperature Sterilization Systems. The trays are available in various sizes, outlined in Table 5-1, to accommodate the loads to be processed. The proposed trays are similar in design to the predicate Sterilization Trav (K160912) and are composed of a base and a lid. The lid includes clamping mechanisms designed to secure the lid onto the base. There are numerous holes in the base and lid for sterilant penetration. The tray is categorized as a cassette and requires complete enclosure in a legally-marketed sterilization wrap or pouch to maintain sterility of the enclosed devices. Both the base and the lid for the proposed tray are made of a mineral-filled polypropylene material.

Table 5-1. External Dimensions of Tray Line
Optional instrument organizers are provided as accessories to the trays and allow stabilization of various cylindrical medical devices during processing. Table 5-2 lists the organizer sizes. The organizers are either "blank" and are used to partition the tray or have a device holding portion into which the devices are inserted. At the organizer base is a flapped groove that is used to position the organizer within a PRO-LITE Sterilization Tray.

Table 5.2. Instrument Organizer Model Numbers
Optional sterilization mats are provided as accessories to the trays. The mats, which are used to cushion and stabilize devices placed into the trays, are available in sizes as shown in Table 5-3 to fit the nine PRO-LITE Sterilization Travs. The mats are a diamond grid design with "fingers" that extend from each corner of the diamond and at the midpoint of each diamond side. The fingers cushion and stabilize instruments, helping to prevent the instruments from freely moving in the tray during packaging, sterilization and storage. The cushioning and stabilization qualities help protect delicate instruments placed into the trays.

The purpose of this submission is to add claims and clarify the use of tray models in the V-PRO Sterilizers for:
- use in the V-PRO maX 2 Fast Non Lumen Cycle ●
- . the sterilization of titanium mated surfaces (diffusion-restricted spaces) in the V-PRO 1 Plus, maX, and maX 2 Sterilizers Non Lumen Cycle
- addition of the V-PRO maX 2 Sterilizer to the indications for use in the . Lumen. Non Lumen and Flexible Cvcles of the V-PRO 1. 1 Plus and maX Sterilizers (the V-PRO maX 2 Sterilizer Lumen, Non Lumen, and Flexible Cycles are identical, with the exception of the condition phase of the Lumen Cycle, to the previously cleared cycles listed in Table 5-4).
- Clarification of which tray models are used in which sterilizers listed in the Indications for Use. Tray model VP0053 does not fit within the V-PRO 60 Sterilizer and therefore tray model VP0053 is being removed from the Indications for Use for the V-PRO 60 Sterilizer.

| Package Integrity | | Not applicable. The Sterilization tray meets<br>the definition of a "tray" in ANSI/AAMI<br>ST77:2013, Containment devices for reusable<br>medical device sterilization, therefore package<br>integrity and maintenance of package integrity<br>testing are not applicable. | |
| Demonstration of Effective Drying and<br>Aeration | | Residual hydrogen peroxide<br>levels shall be below<br>acceptable levels after<br>exposure to worst case<br>Sterilizer Cycle conditions. | PASS |
| Demonstration of Material Compatibility | | After processing through<br>multiple worst case<br>sterilization cycles, the trays<br>and accessories shall retain<br>functionality. | PASS |
| Demonstration of Biocompatibility | | Component materials shall be<br>non-cytotoxic after exposure to<br>worst case Sterilizer Cycle<br>conditions. | PASS |
| Demonstration of Effective Cleaning | | Clean following automated and<br>manual cleaning. | PASS |
