Intended Use
The Sterilucent Sterilization Container System is a device intended to enclose another medical device that is to be sterilized by a healthcare provider. It is intended to allow sterilization of the enclosed medical device and also to maintain sterility of the enclosed device until used. This container system is intended to be used in the Sterilucent PSD-85 Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilizer Lumen Cycles. The sterility maintenance period has been validated for a period of up to 180 days. Reusable baskets and accessory items (clips, posts, pins, dividers, bars and mats) are intended to organize and secure enclosed medical devices during sterilization, transport, and storage of the container. Consumable accessory items (filter media, data card and tamper evident arrows) provide a range of functions and are indicated as single-use devices. Filter media allows ingress of sterilant while providing a microbial barrier. Data cards are used to record information regarding a specific sterilization process load. Tamper evident arrows provide a visual indication that the container system has not been inadvertently opened prior to use. Each arrow contains an external process indicator that serves as a visual indication that the system has been exposed to the Sterilization process.
Device Description
The Sterilucent Sterilization Container System is an assortment of rigid, reusable, stackable containers that are used to sterilize other medical devices and maintain sterility of those devices until used. The container system is comprised of a lid, bottom, filter, tamper evident arrows, and data cards. The container system houses reusable baskets of varying depths and organizing accessory items that are used to organize and secure surgical instrumentation and/or other medical devices.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and sterilization efficacy of a container system, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No

This device is a sterilization container system, intended to sterilize other medical devices and maintain their sterility. It does not directly treat or diagnose a disease or condition in a patient.

No

The device is a sterilization container system, intended to sterilize other medical devices and maintain their sterility, not to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly outlines a system comprised of physical components like a lid, bottom, filter, tamper evident arrows, and data cards, which are all hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for sterilizing and maintaining the sterility of other medical devices. It is used by healthcare providers in a healthcare setting.
  • Device Description: The description details a system of containers and accessories for holding and organizing medical devices during sterilization.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. The device's function is purely related to the sterilization and storage of other medical instruments.

Therefore, the Sterilucent Sterilization Container System falls under the category of a sterilization accessory or medical device accessory, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

Sterilization performance studies were conducted for the Sterilization Container System and all acceptance criteria were met. Sterilization efficacy testing demonstrated a 12 log reduction and a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10 ° using the biological indicator (BI) overkill method and half-cycle validation under worst case conditions. Real time event related shelf life studies demonstrated sterility maintenance for a 180 day time period. Whole package microbial challenge testing, exposing a container to a minimum of 1 x 10^6 Bacillus atrophaeus colony forming units (CFU) via an aerosol challenge, demonstrated appropriate microbial barrier properties following exposure to the Sterilucent hydrogen peroxide sterilization processes under worst case conditions.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

Sterilization efficacy testing demonstrated a 12 log reduction and a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10 °.

Indications for UseThe Sterilucent Sterilization Container
System is a device intended to be used to
enclose another medical device that is to
be sterilized by a healthcare provider. It
is intended to allow sterilization of the
enclosed medical device and also to
maintain sterility of the enclosed device
until used. The container system is
intended to be used in the Sterilucent
PSD-85 Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilizer
Lumen and Non-Lumen Cycles.
Reusable baskets and accessory items
(clips, posts, pins, dividers, brackets, bars
and mats) are intended to organize and
secure enclosed medical devices during
sterilization, transport, and storage of the
container.The Genesis Reusable
Rigid Sterilization
Container System is a
device intended to be used
to enclose another medical
device that is to be
sterilized by a healthcare
provider. It allows
sterilization of the
enclosed medical device
and maintains sterility of
the enclosed device until
used for a maximum of
180 days.
Containers are suitable for
dynamic air removal (pre-
vacuum) steam
Consumable accessory items (e.g. filter
media, data card and tamper evident
arrows) provide a range of functions and
are indicated as single-use devices. Filter
media allows ingress and egress of
sterilant while providing a microbial
barrier. Data cards are used to record
information regarding a specific
sterilization process load. Tamper evident
arrows provide a visual indication that
the container system has not been
inadvertently opened prior to use. Each
arrow contains an external process
indicator that serves as a visual indication
that the system has been exposed to the
Sterilucent VHP sterilization process.use pre-vacuum steam
sterilization and 100%
ethylene oxide sterilization
when used as described in
the instructions for use.

6. Summary of Non-Clinical Performance Data

Sterilization performance studies were conducted for the Sterilization Container System and all acceptance criteria were met. Sterilization efficacy testing demonstrated a 12 log reduction and a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10 ° using the biological indicator (BI) overkill method and half-cycle validation under worst case conditions. Real time event related shelf life studies demonstrated sterility maintenance for a 180 day time period. Whole

package microbial challenge testing, exposing a container to a minimum of 1 x 106 Bacillus atrophaeus colony forming units (CFU) via an aerosol challenge, demonstrated appropriate microbial barrier properties following exposure to the Sterilucent hydrogen peroxide sterilization processes under worst case conditions.

7. Summary of Clinical Performance Data

N/A - No clinical tests were conducted for this submission.

8. Overall Performance Conclusion Statement

The non-clinical studies demonstrated that the Sterilization Container System is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate device for the sterilization of the enclosed medical devices and maintains sterility of those devices for a period of up to 180 days. The proposed device and the predicate device are composed of the same designs, materials, and manufacturing characteristics. The proposed device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
