Intended Use
The STERRAD® 200 Sterilizer is designed for sterilization of both metal and nonmetal medical devices at low temperatures. Because the cycle operates within a dry environment and at low temperatures, it is especially suitable for instruments sensitive to heat and moisture. The STERRAD® 200 Sterilizer can sterilize instruments which have diffusion-restricted spaces. such as the hinged portion of forceps and scissors. Medical devices with only a single stainless steel lumen with the following dimensions can be processed in the STERRAD® 200 Sterilizer. - An inside diameter of 1 mm or larger and a length of 125 mm or shorter* . - An inside diameter of 2 mm or larger and a length of 250 mm or shorter* . - An inside diameter of 3 mm or larger and a length of 400 mm or shorter . Teflon® and polyethylene luments with inside diameters of 6 mm or larger and lengths of 310 mm or shorter can be processed in the STERRAD® 200 Sterilizer. *The validation testing for this lumen size was conducted using a maximum of 12 lumens per load. Hospital loads should not exceed the maximum number of lumens validated by this testing. Note: The validation studies for this sterilizer were performed using the STERRAD cycle consisting of a 6-minute 45-second injection phase followed by a 2-minute diffusion phase and a 2-minute plasma phase. The validation studies were performed using a validation load consisting of four instrument trays each weighing 9.12 lbs. (the total weight of the load was 36.48 lbs.).
Device Description
The STERRAD® 200 Sterilizer is a self-contained stand-alone system of hardware and software designed to sterilize medical instruments and devices, using a patented hydrogen peroxide gas plasma process. Hydrogen peroxide vapor is generated by injecting aqueous hydrogen peroxide into the vaporizer bowl where the solution is heated and transformed into a vapor, introducing the vapor into the process chamber under negative pressure and transforming the vapor into a gas plasma with electrical energy. The equipment (hardware) for the STERRAD® 200 Sterilizer is the same as that of the predicate device, the STERRAD® 100S Sterilizer. (Note: The STERRAD® 200 Sterilizer is available in either a one-door or two-door model, depending on customer preference). The hardware consists of a sterilization chamber onto which is mounted a variety of instruments and components, housed in a covered frame. The system also uses accessories such as a movable carriage for transport of the cart, disposable sterilant cassettes, reusable instrument trays, printer paper and ink cartridges.

Not Found

No
The document describes a sterilization system based on a hydrogen peroxide gas plasma process. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The system relies on a defined chemical and physical process, not data-driven algorithms.

No
The device is a sterilizer for medical instruments, not a device used for treating medical conditions or diseases.

No

Explanation: The STERRAD® 200 Sterilizer is designed for the sterilization of medical devices, not for diagnosing diseases or conditions. Its purpose is to prepare instruments for medical procedures by killing microorganisms.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "self-contained stand-alone system of hardware and software" and details the hardware components involved in the sterilization process.

Based on the provided text, the STERRAD® 200 Sterilizer is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as "sterilization of both metal and nonmetal medical devices at low temperatures." This is a process applied to medical devices themselves, not a test performed on biological samples to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The device description details a system for sterilizing instruments using a hydrogen peroxide gas plasma process. This is a sterilization method, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions

The STERRAD® 200 Sterilizer is a device used to prepare medical instruments for use, ensuring they are free from microorganisms. This falls under the category of a medical device used in the healthcare setting, but not an IVD.

Dear Ms. Bennington:

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.

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); 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.
