Intended Use
The THINK Surgical TCAT® TKA Instrument Tray is intended to protect, organize and deliver to the surgical field TCAT® tools, instruments and accessories. The tray allows sterilization of TCAT® tools, instruments and maintains sterility of the enclosed devices until used. The tray is wrapped with an FDA-cleared sterilization wrap during the pre-vacuum autoclave sterilization process.
Device Story
TCAT® TKA Instrument Tray is a reusable, perforated container designed to organize, sterilize, store, and transport surgical instruments for TSolution One® Total Knee Application (TKA) procedures. Constructed of anodized aluminum with silicone, nylon, and stainless steel components, the tray features a rectangular base, latchable lid, and a lift-out tray with stanchions to secure specific tools. The device is used in clinical settings; it is loaded with instruments, wrapped in an FDA-cleared sterilization wrap, and processed via pre-vacuum autoclave. The tray facilitates sterilant penetration and drying through its perforated design. It does not provide a sterile barrier independently; it relies on external sterilization wrap. The tray benefits the patient by ensuring surgical instruments are organized, sterile, and ready for use during TKA procedures.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical or animal testing was performed. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including sterilization efficacy (BI Overkill method achieving six-log reduction), shipping/packaging validation per ASTM D4169-16, handle strength testing per ASTM ST77:2013, and verification of product requirements via inspection and laboratory analysis.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Anodized aluminum, silicone, stainless steel, nylon, polyphenylsulfone, polypropylene. Design: Rectangular base, latchable lid, lift-out tray with stanchions. Sterilization: Pre-vacuum steam (132°C, 4 min exposure, 60 min dry). Connectivity: None. Software: None. Standards: ANSI/AAMI/ISO 14937, ASTM D4169-16, ASTM ST77:2013.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the protection, organization, and delivery of TCAT tools, instruments, and accessories to the surgical field for use with the TSolution One® Total Knee Application.
Regulatory Classification

Dear George Prendergast:
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}------------------------------------------------

# Predicate Device:
TCAT® TKA Instrument Tray Set cleared via K200632.
### Device Modifications:
The changes to the predicate device allow tools, instruments and accessories to be utilized during a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedure. The modifications to this device are there is one tray with a lift out tray which contains tools, instruments and accessories for a total knee arthroplasty, the addition of a silicone mat ('utility area'), and the addition of a 13mm Recovery Marker holder.
### Device Description:
The TCAT® TKA Instrument Tray is intended only for use with TSolution One® Total Knee Application instruments, tools and accessories. This tray is used to enclose and hold the instruments, tools and accessories in an organized manner during the sterilization process and subsequent storage and transportation to and from the surgical suite. The tray is designed to fit any standard autoclave and is constructed primarily of anodized aluminum. The tray is compatible with repeated steam sterilizations. The tray has perforations to facilitate sterilant penetration, evacuation and drying. Since the tray is perforated, an FDA-cleared sterilization wrap must be used to maintain sterility of the contents.
{5}------------------------------------------------
The trav has the basic same size and a minor configuration change to the predicate device: a rectanqular base with a latchable lid and a lift out tray. The tray has perforations with an evenly distributed hole pattern on the lid, bottom, and sides to allow sterilant penetration. The bottom tray surface and lift out tray surface contain stanchions designed to separately hold each individual instrument, tool and accessory for effective sterilant exposure, sterilant evacuation and drying the entire duration of the sterilization process, as well as ease of locating each instrument when placing in or removal from the tray. The lift out tray contains a silicone mat which may used to sterilize additional THINK Surgical part.
The instrument tray has been tested only with THINK Surgical instruments, tools and accessories for a 4 minute sterilization cycle of pre-vacuum steam sterilization at 132°C, with a 60 minute dry time. While reuseable, these trays will not be serviced or repaired. The type and maximum number of instruments, tools and accessories included in the tray follow:

### Technological Characteristics:
The modified device, the THINK Surgical TCAT® TKA Instrument Tray is the same as the predicate device which was previously cleared under K200632 in that it:
- . incorporates the same basic design and has similar design features such as inserts, handles and latches
- incorporates the same materials such as aluminum, nylon, silicone and . stainless steel
- is packaged the same as the predicate device ●
- has the same sterilization parameters as the predicate device ●
{7}------------------------------------------------
# Comparison of Technological and Performance Characteristics
Three fundamental characteristics are the same between the subject device and predicate devices:
- 1. Basic design: Both the TCAT® TKA Instrument Tray and the predicate device have a basic lid/trav design with latches, handles, perforations, and contoured inserts or sections for containing items for sterilization, storage and transport. General size, shape, and weight of both the subject device and predicate device are similar. The materials of the subject device and the materials of the predicate device are the same.
- 2. Role in sterile barrier system: The TCAT® TKA Instrument Tray and the predicate device must be wrapped with an FDA-cleared sterilization wrap to maintain sterility. Neither the subject device nor the predicate contains gaskets, valves or filters.
- 3. Fundamental technology: The TCAT® TKA Instrument Tray and the predicate device allow the sterilant (steam) to penetrate and render its contents sterile by relving on surface perforations.
The following tables provide a comparison of technological characteristics between the subject device and the predicate device (Table 4) and a summary of non-clinical performance testing (Table 5).
