Device Description
The SteriTite® Rigid Container System consists of a family of rigid containers that provide an effective stcrilization packaging method for operating room instruments. The SteriTite® perforated base containers include a vented base and a vented lid with filter retention plates. The SteriTite® unit consists of an anodized aluminum sealed case with a microbial barrier filltration system that allows effective penetration by the sterilant. The SteriTite® perforated base containers with baskets have been validated for surfaces and lumens in STERRAD 100S Sterilization. For STERRAD 100 and 100S Sterilization each stainless stccl filter retention plate secures a disposable round non-woven polypropylene disposable bacterial filter. Silicone gaskets are permanently attached to the filter retention plates and lid with silicone adhesive. A stainless stcel latching mechanism with handles on both ends secures the lid to the base and provides a method to incorporate tamperproof disposable locks. The disposable filter # SCF02 is a nonwoven polypropylene material.

No
The document describes a rigid sterilization container system and its validation for use with a specific sterilization process. There is no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities that would suggest the use of AI or ML.

No
This device is a sterilization container system intended for sterilizing surgical instruments and devices; it does not directly provide therapy.

No
The device is a rigid sterilization container system used for sterilizing surgical instruments, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical container system made of anodized aluminum with a filtration system, silicone gaskets, and a stainless steel latching mechanism. It is a hardware device used for sterilizing surgical instruments.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as being for the "sterilization of surgical instruments and devices" in a specific sterilization system (STERRAD 100S). This is a process related to preparing medical devices for use, not for performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "rigid container system" used for "stcrilization packaging." This aligns with a device used in the sterilization process, not for in vitro diagnostics.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples, detect diseases, or provide any diagnostic information.
  • Focus on Sterilization: The entire document focuses on the device's compatibility and performance within a sterilization system, including validation studies related to microbial inactivation.

In summary, the device's purpose is to facilitate the sterilization of surgical instruments, which is a process separate from in vitro diagnostics.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The SteriTite® Container with non-woven nolypropylene filter containing instrument basket and load was validated under half cycle conditions in the STERRAD 100S System. The efficacy of the Case Medical container was clearly demonstrated for blades and lumens using the overkill method. Containers in combination of 10" in total height or 8" high for any one container were tested and found to be efficacious. The same combinations were previously validated in the prior 510k K991023 for the STERRAD 100 System.
Additional studies were performed to demonstrate the effects of sterilant volume on microbial inactivation kinetics.
Reuse testing of the container and inserts was accomplished previously for 100 cycles in the STERRAD 100 Sterilization System. The product proved to be effective and compatible upon completion. Equivalency of the sealed container to a wrapped instrument tray was dcmonstrated.
The SteriTite® Container was independently tested according the following standards for its performance in STERRAD 100S Sterilization. ASP conducted testing in accordance with the following U.S. and international standards:
AAMI ST 34 " Guideline for the use of ethylene oxide and steam biological indicators in industrial sterilization processes. "
ANSVAAMI ST33-1996 " Good Hospital Practice: Guidelines for the Selection and Use of Reusuble Rigid Sterilization Container Systems."

BIOCOMPATIBILITY

As stated previously in the cleared 510k # K991023 Kimguard was extensively tested in the standard spectrum of biocompatibility testing.

This included USP Acute Systemic Toxicity, Human Patch Test and Guinea Pig Sensitization Test. All test results were negative,

The Biocompatibility validation of the SteriTite container matcrials was addressed by ASP reference to "Toxicity of Sterilant and Process By-Products" in which aluminum, silicone, stainless steel, polypropylene were tested and found to be non-cytoxic and found to be compatible with the STERRAD System. This was included in the STERRAD 100 510(k). The toxicity of the stcrilant has not changed.

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.

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.
