Device Description
Tuttnauer autoclave models 6990 SP-1A: 66120 SP-1A: 69150 SP-2A: 69120 L USA SP-2A; 69180 SP-2HA; and 6690 L USA SP-1V are all prevacuum autoclaves that utilize saturated steam as the sterilizing agent. Each of these autoclaves is designed for sterilization of heat stable medical devices; wrapped solids, hollow and porous products, as well as liquids for non-clinical applications in open or closed (but not sealed) containers. Each of the six Tuttnauer autoclave models is a steam sterilizer composed of a pressure vessel with steam jacket, heating elements, a water reservoir, a water pump, and a vacuum pump, Each autoclave is pre-programmed with twelve sterilization cycles, and each has two test programs: (1) a "Bowie & Dick Test," and (2) an "Air Leakage Test." The six autoclaves are equipped with the capability to shut down automatically. An emergency stop push button that is mounted on the front panel is an available option for customers with specific needs. The control software, which is identical to that used in the autoclayes cleared under K032192, allows for automatic operation of all six autoclaves. The microcomputer technology employed in the autoclaves ensures that the entire cycle will operate on a fully-automatic basis. Therefore, no further intervention is necessary after setting the pre-selected parameters and starting operation of the autoclaye.
More Information

K850264, K850264A, K032192

No
The description mentions "microcomputer technology" and "automatic operation" based on "pre-selected parameters," which are characteristic of traditional programmed control systems, not AI/ML. There is no mention of learning, adaptation, or data-driven decision making beyond pre-defined cycles.

No
This device is an autoclave designed for sterilizing heat-stable medical devices and liquids, meaning it prepares other devices for therapeutic use rather than being a therapeutic device itself.

No.
The device is an autoclave, which is used for sterilization of medical devices, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is an autoclave composed of a pressure vessel, heating elements, pumps, etc., which are hardware components. While it mentions control software, the device itself is a physical sterilizer.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the sterilization of heat stable medical devices in healthcare settings. This is a process performed on medical equipment, not a test performed on biological samples to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The device is an autoclave, which uses steam to sterilize. This is a physical process for decontamination, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

Therefore, this Tuttnauer autoclave is a medical device used for sterilization, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Substantial Equivalence:

All six Tuttnauer autoclave models referenced above (Models 6990 SP-1A; 66120 SP-1 A: 69150 SP-2A: 69120 L USA SP-2A: 69180 SP-2HA; and 6690 L USA SP-1V) are claimed to be substantially equivalent to the autoclaves cleared under the following 510(k) numbers:

K850264 (non-computer controlled autoclaves) K850264A (non-computer controlled autoclaves) K032192 (computer controlled autoclaves)

The six Tuttnauer autoclave models covered by this 510(k) notification differ in the size of their chambers (dimensions and volume) and in their door configurations. All six models have been previously cleared by FDA in their manual form; the six models covered herein only differ from these previously cleared devices in that they contain electronic control panels to allow for automatic usage. As there is no change to factors affecting sterilization, such as cycle time, temperature, or pressure, these six devices should be equivalent to the predicate devices cleared under the three 510(k) numbers listed above.

General Description:

Tuttnauer autoclave models 6990 SP-1A: 66120 SP-1A: 69150 SP-2A: 69120 L USA SP-2A; 69180 SP-2HA; and 6690 L USA SP-1V are all prevacuum autoclaves that utilize saturated steam as the sterilizing agent. Each of these autoclaves is designed for sterilization of heat stable medical devices; wrapped solids, hollow and porous products, as well as liquids for non-clinical applications in open or closed (but not sealed) containers.

The key differences between the six models covered by this 510(k) notification are (1) chamber dimensions/chamber volume, and door configuration. These differences are summarized here:

The six Tuttnauer models covered herein are substantially the same as models cleared under 510(k) numbers K850264 and K850264A. Both of these 510(k) notifications and clearances cover the manual versions of the automatic autoclaves subject to this 510(k) application. Tuttnauer has modified the control panel of the manual autoclaves, replacing the current manual control panel with an electronic control panel. CDRH has already cleared a similar manual-toelectronic change in 510(k) number K032192. Therefore, all three of these 510(k) notifications and subsequent clearances are claimed as predicate devices for all six of the autoclaves in this 510(k) application.

Design and Materials:

Each of the six Tuttnauer autoclave models is a steam sterilizer composed of a pressure vessel with steam jacket, heating elements, a water reservoir, a water pump, and a vacuum pump, Each autoclave is pre-programmed with twelve sterilization cycles, and each has two test programs: (1) a "Bowie & Dick Test," and (2) an "Air Leakage Test." The six autoclaves are equipped with the capability to shut down automatically. An emergency stop push button that is mounted on the front panel is an available option for customers with specific needs.

The control software, which is identical to that used in the autoclayes cleared under K032192, allows for automatic operation of all six autoclaves. The microcomputer technology employed in the autoclaves ensures that the entire cycle will operate on a fully-automatic basis. Therefore, no further intervention is necessary after setting the pre-selected parameters and starting operation of the autoclaye.

Comparison to Cleared Devices:

The only material component that is being changed on these six devices is the substitution of a manual control panel with an electronic control panel, including operational software. This electronic control panel/operational software package was previously cleared as a modification to two existing Tuttnauer autoclaves under 510(k) number K032192. This control panel/software substitution does not affect the intended use of the six devices included in this notification, and the fundamental scientific technology of the six devices is not altered.

Intended Use:

All six Tuttnauer autoclave models referenced above (Models 6990 SP-1A; 66120 SP-1A; 69150 SP-2A; Model 69120 L USA SP-2A; 69180 SP-2HA; and Model 6690 L USA SPl V) are designed for sterilization of heat stable medical devices; wrapped solids, hollow and

porous products, as well as liquids for non-clinical applications in open or closed (but not sealed) containers. Indication for use statement is attached

Because of the difficulty to standardize the liquid cycle load. This cycle in not intended for sterilization of materials that come into contact with patients and should only be used for non-clinical applications only.

Technology Considerations:

Each of the six Tuttnauer autoclave models is a steam sterilizer composed of a pressure vessel with steam jacket, heating elements, a water reservoir, a water pump, and a vacuum pump.

Non-Clinical Testing:

Tuttnauer conducted validation studies in accordance with ANSI/AAMI ST8 (2001). Testing showed that the sterilizers meet all aspects of the standard, including physical and microbiological performance requirements. Successful sterilization was accomplished in all tests performed.

Conclusion:

For all of the foregoing reasons, Tuttnauer believes that the six Tuttnauer autoclave models described in this 510(k) notification may be safely marketed in the United States.
