The Enbio PRO is an air-removal (pre-vacuum) table-top steam sterilizer intended for use by a health care provider to sterilize medical products by means of pressurized steam. It has a hermetically sealed, heated chamber made from aluminum, with two heaters sink inside chamber walls. Inside this chamber, the sterilized load is placed on a special perforated tray. After closing the chamber, the user selects the appropriate sterilization program through the TFT touch screen.
The actual sterilization phase starts after the pre-vacuum phase. The aluminum steam generator produces superheated steam and applies it inside the chamber. That steam penetrates the sterilized instruments. The set temperature is maintained inside the chamber depending on the selected sterilization cycle (121C° or 134°C), during a specified time (30 minutes or 4 minutes). After that time all the steam accumulated inside the chamber is pumped out and the drying cycle begins. When sterilization is finished, device displays to the user that process is completed, and that the load is sterile. The user can then safely open the chamber and remove tools.

The intended use and general indications for use of the Enbio PRO and Enbio S are same as both devices are air-removal (pre-vacuum) table-top steam sterilizers intended for use by a health care provider to sterilize medical products by means of pressurized steam. They are suitable for the sterilization of dental and medical instruments that are validated to be sterilized by steam. Both devices are not designed to sterilize liquid loads, bio-medical waste or materials not compatible with steam sterilization.
Their specific indications for use differ with respect to the exposure time, drying time and maximum load, as discussed below.
The Enbio PRO has a larger sterilization chamber and maximum load capacity compared to the Enbio S. Therefore, the weight and dimensions of the two devices are slightly different. The exposure times and drying times (for the sterilization programs offered by the two devices) are slightly different; however, these parameters are within the standard values established for the respective sterilization temperatures. Also, the performance and effectiveness of the Enbio PRO for all sterilization programs and load types has been validated per AAMI ANSI ST55:2016. In addition, the Electrical Safety of the Enbio PRO is demonstrated through testing conducted in compliance with standards IEC 61010-1 and IEC 61010-2-040. The Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) of Enbio PRO is demonstrated through testing conducted in compliance with IEC 60601-1-2.
Also, the firmware for Enbio PRO is updated (since the clearance of Enbio S under K213991) to support these differences. The updated firmware has been validated using the same methodology that was used to validate the software and firmware for the predicate Enbio S cleared under K213991.
