Intended Use
The SteriTite® container system is designed for use in hospitals and health care facilities to contain medical devices for sterilization, storage, transportation, and aseptic presentation of contents. It is intended to be used to sterilize medical devices including surfaces and lumens in steam, gas (EO) and gas plasma (STERRAD Sterilization). The SteriTite container is designed to maintain sterility of the contents until it is used. The SteriTite container system and MediTray product is intended to be used to contain medical devices for sterilization, storage, transportation and aseptic presentation of contents in health care facilization of surfaces and lumented dev in EO. Metal lumens 2.2mm diameter or larger and length up to 45.7 cm and porous (silicone) lumened devices 3 mm diameter or larger and length up to 40 cm were validated. The SterTite container is designed to maintain sterility of the contents until it is used
Device Description
The SteriTite container system consists of a family of rigid reusable scaled containers that provide an effective sterilization packaging method for medical devices. Cases and lids are interchangeable. A part number and lot number identify each component of the container, including lid, base, retaincr/valve plate and insert basket or tray. The SteriTite system is designed for sterilant penetration through vents/perforations in the lid and in perforated bottom models in the base of SteriTite sealed containers as well. MedifFray case trays, baskets and insert boxes may be placed within sealed containers or wrapped.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a rigid reusable container system for sterilizing medical devices and does not mention any computational or analytical functions that would involve AI or ML.

No
The device is described as a system for containing medical devices for sterilization, storage, and transport, not for directly treating a condition or disease.

No

This device is a container system designed for sterilizing, storing, and transporting medical devices, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a system of rigid reusable containers, which are physical hardware components, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is designed to contain medical devices for sterilization, storage, transportation, and aseptic presentation. It is used on medical devices to prepare them for use, not on biological specimens to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics of the container system and how it facilitates sterilization and maintains sterility. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring analytes
    • Providing diagnostic, prognostic, or screening information
    • Using reagents or calibrators

The SteriTite container system is a medical device used in the sterilization process of other medical devices. It is a critical component in ensuring the safety and sterility of instruments used in healthcare settings, but it does not perform a diagnostic function.

Dear Ms. Frieze:

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. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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.

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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4618.
