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* NOTE: Trays must be legally marketed for use in the V PRO Low Temperature or STERRAD Sterilization Systems and contain a vent surface area to tray volume ratio ≥ 0.135 in-1 with the maximum number of instrument organizers installed. to be sterilized in the: Lumen. Non Lumen. Flexible. Fast Non Lumen and Fast Cvcles of the V-PRO® Low Temperature Sterilization Systems Default Cycle of the STERRAD 100S Sterilizer Standard and Advanced Cycles of the STERRAD NX and NX with ALLClear Technology Sterilizers Express, Standard, Flex Scope and DUO Cycles of the STERRAD 100NX with ALLClear Technology Sterilizers 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
Vis-U-All Low Temperature Sterilization Pouches/Tubing and PRO-LITE Sterilization Trays are containment systems for medical devices processed in V-PRO or STERRAD low-temperature sterilization systems. Pouches are constructed of Tyvek and plastic film; trays are mineral-filled polypropylene with silicone mats/organizers. Devices are placed directly into pouches or inside trays, which are then pouched or wrapped. The system maintains sterility post-sterilization. Used in clinical settings by healthcare providers. The submission expands existing lumen and endoscope claims for specific V-PRO cycles. Performance is verified through half-cycle, simulated-use, and in-use testing to ensure sterilant penetration and sterility maintenance.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included half-cycle verification of mated surfaces, half-cycle efficacy, simulated-use testing, and in-use investigations using patient-soiled, clinically-cleaned medical instruments. All tests passed.
Technological Characteristics
Pouches: Tyvek and plastic film. Trays: Mineral-filled polypropylene base/lid with stainless steel components. Accessories: Medical grade silicone (USP grade VI) mats and organizers. Vent surface area to tray volume ratio ≥ 0.135 in-1. Sterilization: Low-temperature (V-PRO/STERRAD).
Indications for Use
Indicated for healthcare providers to enclose medical devices, trays, or small items for sterilization in specified V-PRO and STERRAD low-temperature sterilization cycles. Applicable to rigid, semi-rigid, and flexible endoscopes, and non-lumened devices with diffusion-restricted spaces (e.g., hinged forceps/scissors).
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 Anthony Piotrkowski:
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.
{1}------------------------------------------------
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) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); 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 https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

#### Intended Use/ Indications for Use 4.
The Vis-U-All Low Temperature Sterilization Pouches/Tubing Intended use remains the same. The indications for use are being modified to expand lumen claims. A detailed comparison of the cleared and proposed indications for use are provided in Table 2.
### 5. Comparison of the Modified Device to the Predicate
The proposed and predicate devices are single use sterilization pouches for use in V-PRO Sterilizers. Table 2 summarizes the difference between the proposed device and predicate device cleared under K183401.
