Intended Use
The Vis-U-All Low Temperature Sterilization Pouches/Tubing are sterilization containment pouches for use by health care providers to enclose: medical devices in a single or double pouch configuration trays* containing medical devices in a single or double pouch configuration small items requiring surface sterilization in a single pouch configuration within a tray* to be sterilized in the Lumen, Non Lumen, Flexible, Fast Non Lumen and Fast Cycles of the V-PRO® Low Temperature Sterilization Systems. The pouches maintain the sterility of the enclosed devices until used. When used to enclose medical devices, the pouches are intended to contain the devices in such a manner as to leave a minimum of one inch between the devices and seal on all sides. When used to enclose a tray, the tray must fit loosely within the pouch.
Device Story
Sterilization containment pouches/tubing; Tyvek and plastic film construction; used by healthcare providers to enclose medical devices/trays for low-temperature sterilization in V-PRO systems. Pouches maintain sterility post-sterilization. Input: medical instruments/trays; Output: sterile, contained devices. No internal electronics or software; purely physical barrier. Benefit: ensures sterility maintenance of instruments until point of use.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing included sterilization efficacy in V-PRO s2 Fast Cycle and extended claims for V-PRO 60/s2 Non Lumen and Flexible cycles. Pouch integrity tests (tensile strength, burst strength, seal strength, microbial retention) showed no statistical difference between processed and unprocessed samples. Hydrogen peroxide residuals confirmed acceptable for dermal contact.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Tyvek and plastic film. Form factor: self-seal pouches, heat-seal pouches, and tubing. Sterilization compatibility: V-PRO Low Temperature Sterilization Systems (vaporized hydrogen peroxide). Features: chevron opening, chemical process indicator for EO. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for healthcare providers to enclose medical devices, trays, or small items for sterilization in V-PRO Low Temperature Sterilization Systems. Compatible with Lumen, Non Lumen, Flexible, Fast Non Lumen, and Fast cycles. Supports various rigid, semi-rigid, and flexible endoscopes, and instruments with diffusion-restricted spaces (e.g., hinged forceps/scissors) with specified lumen dimensions.
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. 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 requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part
{1}------------------------------------------------
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/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.htm); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) 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.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm.
