Lastly, the pouch's external chemical ink indicators are designed to indicate to the user that the pouch has undergone either a steam or EO sterilization process.

The SIGMA sterilization pouch and roll is offered in the following 5 types:

  • Self-sealing sterilization pouches: These pouches are made from a medical grade plastic film that . 0 is heat sealed on three sides. The forth side has an adhesive strip that is used to seal the pouch. Release paper used in the pouch is a laminated sheet with composing structure of PE/paper/PE. It is a strip to cover the adhesive area and is released before seal the pouch. The medical grade paper conforms to recognized material standards and can be sterilized by steam or ethylene oxide gas. The Process Indicators Ink printed on the medical grade paper will exhibit a color change after the pouch is exposed to steam or ethylene oxide gas.
  • Sterilization pouches, Flat: These pouches has the same components with the Self-sealing . sterilization pouches, except the forth side is left opened instead of an adhesive strip and will be heat-sealed when using.
  • Sterilization pouches, Gusseted: These pouches are the same with the Sterilization pouches, flat, . except that the plastic film is folded on both longest sides instead of flat. This design is convenient to enclose the medical devices with certain height.
  • Sterilization rolls, Flat: These rolls are made from a medical grade paper and plastic film that are heat sealed on opposite two sides. It will be cut into the suitable length and the opened sides will be heat-sealed. The indicators printed on the medical grade paper are the same with the self-sealing sterilization pouches.
  • Sterilization rolls, Gusseted: These rolls are the same with the flat sterilization roll, except that the plastic film is folded on both longest sides instead of flat. This design is convenient to enclose the medical devices with certain height.
AI/ML Overview

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance:
The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes used for each specific test within the validation studies. The studies reference adherence to international standards (AAMI, ISO, ASTM), which typically define appropriate sample sizes for such tests.
The data provenance can be inferred as originating from testing laboratories in connection with Sigma Medical Supplies Corp., which is based in Taiwan. The studies appear to be prospective, as they were conducted specifically for the validation of the SIGMA Sterilization Pouch and Roll.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts:
This information is not provided in the document. The studies rely on established international standards and laboratory testing rather than expert-based ground truth for the performance criteria of sterilization pouches and chemical indicators.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
This information is not provided in the document. The validation methods described are primarily objective physical and chemical tests, rather than subjective assessments requiring adjudication.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done:
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is typically used for diagnostic devices involving human interpretation of images or clinical data. The SIGMA Sterilization Pouch and Roll is a Class II device for sterilization wraps and indicators, and its performance is evaluated through laboratory testing against established physical and chemical standards.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done:
Yes, the studies described are standalone performance evaluations of the device itself (the pouches and their integrated chemical indicators). This is inherent to the nature of testing sterilization packaging and chemical indicators, which are designed to function independently based on physical and chemical principles, without human interpretation of "algorithm-only" performance in the context of AI.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
The ground truth used for these studies is based on established scientific and engineering principles codified in international consensus standards (AAMI, ISO, ASTM). These standards define the acceptable performance parameters for sterilant penetration, drying time, aeration, biocompatibility, package integrity, material compatibility, sterility maintenance, and chemical indicator efficacy. The "ground truth" is therefore the successful compliance with these predefined objective criteria.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
This is not applicable. The device is a physical product (sterilization pouch and roll) and does not involve AI or machine learning algorithms that require a training set. The validation studies focused on testing the manufactured product's compliance with performance standards.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
This is not applicable, as there is no training set for this device.

Effectiveness and Safety

{9}------------------------------------------------

The SIGMA sterilization pouch and roll has the identical intended use and indication for use as the predicate devices. Substantial equivalence to prodicate devices was established by testing the Sterilant Penetration: Drying Time: Aeration-Biocompatibility, Package Integrity, Material Compatibility, Sterility Maintenance, and Chemical Indicator Efficacy.

The SIGMA sterilization pouch and roll validates its effectiveness and safety using recommended practice, standards and guidelines developed by independent organizations such as the Association for the advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). The SIGMA sterilization pouch and roll was validated to meet the requirements of ANSVAAMI/ISO 11607-1:2006, Version three, September 2008.

The results of the SIGMA sterilization pouch and roll validation studies demonstrate that the sterilization pouches perform as intended. The results are summarized as follows:

  • . The Sterilant Penetration, Drying Time, Aeration, testing performed as described in AAMI / ANSI / ISO 17665-1:2006, ISO TS 17665-2:2009, AAMI / ANSI / ISO 11135-1:2007, and AAMI / ANSI / ISO 10993-7:2008. The testing results demonstrate the ability of the Sigma Sterilization Pouch and Roll to effectively adequate sterilant penetration to the most difficult areas to reach inside the packaging. The results confirm that the sterilant is able to penetrate the Sigma Sterilization Pouch and Roll and sustain direct contact with the medical instrument inside the package. And the result of aeration time validation test meets the requirements AAMI / ANSI / ISO 10993-7:2008.
  • � The Biocompatibility testing performed as described in ISO 10993-10:2010(E), ISO 10993-1:2009/Cor. 1:2010(E), ISO 10993-12:2007(E), and ISO/IEC 17025:2005. The testing results demonstrate the Sigma Sterilization Pouch and Roll showed "negative reaction". And the SIGMA sterilization pouch and roll meets the requirements ISO 10993-10:2010(E).
  • The Package Integrity, Material Compatibility, Sterility Maintenance testing performed as described in AAMI / ANSI / ISO 11607-1:2006, ISO 1924-2, ISO 5636-3, ASTM D 3078-02, ASTM D882, ASTM F 2251-03, ASTMD 1004, ASTME 1140-07, ASTME 1929-98 (04), ASTME 88-2007, ASTM F 1980-2007, ASTMF 1980-2007, and ASTM F 1608-00. The testing results demonstrate the ability of the Sigma Sterilization Pouch and Roll to effectively adequate Package Integrity.

● The Chemical Indicator Efficacy testing performed as described in AAMI / ANSI / ISO 11140-1:2005. The testing demonstrates the ability of the Sigma Sterilization Pouch and Roll to effectively stability of the Process Indicators Ink before use, the lasting quality (color stability) of the color change, the completeness and uniformity of the color change and color change is all or none at the conditions measured, unless a color standard is provided on the indicator. And the SIGMA sterilization pouch and roll meets the requirements ISO 11140-1:2005.
