Intended Use
Cardinal Health DuraBlue™ Sterilization Wrap is intended to enclose another medical device that is to be sterilized by a health care provider using the following modalities: - Pre-vacuum steam at 270°F/132°C for 4 minutes - 100% ethylene oxide (EO) with a concentration of 725-735 mg/L at 131°F/55°C and 40%-80% relative humidity for 60 minutes The wrap is intended to allow sterilization of the enclosed medical device(s) and to maintain sterility of the enclosed device(s). Maintenance of package sterility was validated with real-time aging testing for a duration of 180 days for each indicated modality. For pre-vacuum steam sterilization, the wrap has been validated for dry times of 20 minutes for Models CH100 and CH200 and 30 minutes for Models CH300, CH400, CH500, and CH600. Models CH400, CH500, and CH600 have been validated for pre-vacuum steam sterilization of two lumens 3 mm in diameter or larger and 400 mm in length or less. For EO sterilization, the wrap has been validated for an aeration time of 8 hours at 55℃. Models CH400, CH500, and CH600 have been validated for sterilization of two lumens of 3 mm diameter or larger and 400 mm in length or less for EO sterilization.
Device Description
Cardinal Health DuraBlue™ Sterilization Wraps are double layer sterilization wraps made from 100% polypropylene spunbond-meltblown-spunbond (SMS) fabric. They are intended to be used to enclose another medical device that is to be sterilized by a health care provider pre-vacuum steam at 270°F/132°C for 4 minutes, or 100% ethylene oxide (EO) with a concentration of 725-735 mgL at 131°F/55°C and 40%-80% relative humidity for 60 minutes. This wrap design allows for use of the simultaneous double-wrapping technique and also allows for a sterilized pack to be opened aseptically. This submission covers six different models of Cardinal Heatth DuraBlue™ Sterilization Wrap. Each model is made from material of a different basis weight, though all models utilize the same material technology.

No
The device is a sterilization wrap made of polypropylene fabric, and the description focuses on its physical properties and sterilization efficacy, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is a sterilization wrap intended to maintain sterility of other medical devices, not to treat or diagnose a disease or condition itself.

No

This device is a sterilization wrap intended to maintain the sterility of other medical devices, not to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device is a physical sterilization wrap made of polypropylene fabric, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to enclose other medical devices for sterilization and maintain their sterility. This is a function related to the preparation and storage of medical devices, not the diagnosis of diseases or conditions using samples from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the material and construction of the sterilization wrap, again related to its function in sterilization and maintaining sterility.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples from the human body (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

The device is clearly intended for use in a healthcare setting to facilitate the sterilization and storage of other medical devices.

Substantial Equivalence

The proposed DuraBlue" Sterilization Wrap is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. Both devices:

  • � Have the same intended use
  • Have the same material composition .
  • Have the same physical and chemical properties ●
  • Have the same configurations/dimensions .
  • Are indicated for the same sterilization parameters .
  • Are indicated for the same Maximum Wrapped Package Content Weights .

Summary of Testing

DuraBlue™ Sterilization Wrap performance has been tested in accordance with the applicable requirements recommended in the FDA's Guidance Document Premarket Notification 510(k) Submissions for Medical Sterilization Packaging System in Health Care Facilities; Draft Guidance for Industry and FDA (March 7, 2002) in the predicate Premarket Notifications. Testing included sterlization efficacy, physical properties, event related maintenance of package sterlity, and biocompatibility in compliance with the methods of ISO 10993 for pre-vacuum steam and EO. Data from testing demonstrates that the DuraBlue™ Sterilization Wrap maintains sterlity of the enclosed contents for 180 days following sterilization by pre-vacuum steam and EO.

Dear Mr. Devine:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
