Intended Use

The TSO1-Model 125L is an Ozone Sterilizer intended for use in the sterilization processing of reusable medical devices in Health Care Facilities. The TSO3 Model 125L Ozone Sterilizer is designed for sterilization of both metal and non-metal medical devices at low temperatures. The sterilization cycle operates at very low pressure and low temperatures, consequently it is suitable for processing medical devices sensitive to heat and moisture.

The TSO-125L Ocone Sterilizer is designed to sterilize instruments and devices with diffusion-restricted spaces, such as the hinged portion of forceps and scissors.

The TSO--125L Ozone Sterilizer is also designed to process medical devices having a single stainless steel lumen with:

  • an inside diameter of 2 mm or larger and a length of 250 mm or shorter;

  • an inside diameter of 3 min or larger and a length of 470 mm or shorter;

  • an inside diameter of 4 mm or larger and a length of 600 mm or shorter.

Note: Testing conducted employing half cycle with a SAL of 10 with no survivors.

The packaging compatible with the TSO3-Model 125L Ozone Sterilizer are TSO3 sterilization pouch and rigid anodized aluminum containers using disposable cellulose filter paper.

Device Description

TSO model 125L Ozone Sterilizer is intended to sterilize reusable medical devices that have been previously cleaned. Ozone is generated within the sterilizer to provide an efficient sterilant without the concerns for transporting, handling and disposing of toxic chemicals. The sterilization chamber has a capacity of 125 liters (4 cu. ft.). It requires medical grade oxygen, water and clectricity.

The Model 125L is equipped with a unique factory-programmed control system for processing reusable medical devices.

Processed medical instruments requires no aeration time at the end of the sterilization cycle. The TSO3 sterilization pouch and anodized aluminum sterilization containers are used as packaging for medical devices to be sterilized.

The TSO3 OZO-TEST™ self-contained Biological Indicator (B. stearothermophilus) is recommended for use in evaluating cycle performance. TSO3 Chemical Indicator is recommended for use to differentiate between processed and unprocessed loads and to indicate that the load has been exposed to the sterilization process.

Model 125L could be installed as a free standing unit or recessed behind a wall. No exhaust gas ventilation duct is required in a room that is adequately ventilated.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, the TSO3-125L Ozone Sterilizer. It does not describe an AI medical device or a study involving human readers or AI assistance. Therefore, most of the requested information regarding AI device acceptance criteria, comparative effectiveness studies, and ground truth establishment for AI models cannot be extracted from this document.

However, I can provide information related to the device's effectiveness and safety as described in the document.

Biological Indicator Challenge"Half cycle with a SAL of 10 with no survivors" using B. stearothermophilus (OZO-TEST™ self-contained Biological Indicator).

Information Not Applicable or Not Found in the Document:

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. This document describes a sterilizer, not an AI model validated with a test dataset of medical images or patient encounters. The effectiveness testing references an "overkill" approach, which is a common method for sterilizer validation, but it doesn't specify a "test set" in the context of an AI model's performance.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth in this context would refer to results of sterility testing, which doesn't involve medical image interpretation by experts.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable.
  4. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable. This device is a sterilizer and does not involve human readers interpreting data with or without AI assistance.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. The device is a sterilizer, not an algorithm.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): For sterility, the ground truth is typically the absence of viable microorganisms after processing. The document mentions using B. stearothermophilus biological indicators to evaluate cycle performance, implying a microbiological method for ground truth.
  7. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. No AI model is described.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable. No AI model is described.

Summary of the Study:

The document describes the validation of the TSO3-125L Ozone Sterilizer. The primary "study" or validation approach mentioned for effectiveness is the "overkill" method, which is a standard microbiological approach for sterilizer validation to establish a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL). This method involves challenging the sterilizer with a high concentration of bacterial spores (specifically Geobacillus stearothermophilus, formerly Bacillus stearothermophilus, as per the OZO-TEST™ BI) to demonstrate its ability to sterilize across a wide range of conditions, thus ensuring a high probability of sterility for less challenging actual loads. The document states "half cycle with a SAL of 10 with no survivors," which is a common way to demonstrate a robust sterilization process.

The document emphasizes safety through compliance with electrical and mechanical standards and the use of risk analysis techniques (FTA-MIT and FMECA). Compatibility with specific medical device types (e.g., lumen dimensions) and packaging materials is also detailed through testing.

Description of Device

TSO model 125L Ozone Sterilizer is intended to sterilize reusable medical devices that have been previously cleaned. Ozone is generated within the sterilizer to provide an efficient sterilant without the concerns for transporting, handling and disposing of toxic chemicals. The sterilization chamber has a capacity of 125 liters (4 cu. ft.). It requires medical grade oxygen, water and clectricity.

The Model 125L is equipped with a unique factory-programmed control system for processing reusable medical devices.

Processed medical instruments requires no aeration time at the end of the sterilization cycle. The TSO3 sterilization pouch and anodized aluminum sterilization containers are used as packaging for medical devices to be sterilized.

The TSO3 OZO-TEST™ self-contained Biological Indicator (B. stearothermophilus) is recommended for use in evaluating cycle performance. TSO3 Chemical Indicator is recommended for use to differentiate between processed and unprocessed loads and to indicate that the load has been exposed to the sterilization process.

Model 125L could be installed as a free standing unit or recessed behind a wall. No exhaust gas ventilation duct is required in a room that is adequately ventilated.

Effectiveness

Model 125L Validation testing was performed using the « overkill » approach to demonstrate the effectiveness of the process.

This process has been demonstrated to be effective on medical devices packaged in the TSO3 sterilization pouch and in rigid anodized aluminum sterilization containers using disposable cellulose filter paper.

Safety

Model 125L sterilizer have been designed, constructed and tested to meet the safety and performance requirements of various North American safety codes and standards. The TSO3-125L sterilizer complies with the applicable portions of the following standards:

  • Canadian Standard Association (CSA) Standard C22.2 No 1010.1 ●
  • Underwriters Laboratory Standard UL 61010A-1 .
  • Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Part 18 / EN 55011
  • . International Electrotechnical Commisssion (IEC) Standard IEC 60601-1-2

A Fault Tree Analysis and Mitigation (FTA-MIT) and a Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) has been conducted on the Model 125L entire system to ensure safety features and control redundancies has been implemented in the design and will be maintained during the manufacturing, installation, maintenance and servicing of the sterilizers.

To ensure optimum performance, the user must ensure the materials, instruments and devices to be sterilized are thoroughly cleaned, that the instrument manufacturer's instructions are followed, and that each sterilization load is monitored with biological and chemical sterilization process indicators.
