Intended Use

KIMGUARD ONE-STEP® Sterilization Wraps are intended to enclose another medical device that is to be sterilized by a healthcare provider using:

  • V-PRO® 60 Low Temperature Sterilization System that include:
    • o Lumen Cycle
    • Non Lumen Cycle o
    • Flexible Cycle O

KIMGUARD* ONE-STEP® Sterilization Wrap (KC100, KC200, KC300, KC400, KC500 and KC600) are intended to allow sterilization of the enclosed medical device(s) and also maintain sterility of the enclosed device(s) until used.

Device Description

KIMGUARD* ONE-STEP® Sterilization Wrap is comprised of two sheets of KIMGUARD* Sterilization Wrap that is ultrasonically seamed on two edges. This seamed configuration allows for convenient wrapping of an article using two sheets simultaneously.

The blue or white sheets of sterilization wrap are square or rectangular fabric produced using a three-layer SMS (spunbound-meltblown-spunbound) process. The blue wrap fabric is composed of polypropylene with the addition of less than 2% by weight of phthalocyanine blue pigment, less than 1% by weight titanium dioxide pigment, and less than 0.008% by weight of anti-static treatment. The white sheet has the same material composition but contains no blue pigment. The wrap allows a sterilized package to be opened aseptically.

AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, but based on the provided document, the information required to compose the detailed response for "acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" as requested is not available. The document is a 510(k) summary for a sterilization wrap, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than providing a detailed study report with specific acceptance criteria and performance metrics in the format requested for a device that typically involves AI or human interpretation.

Specifically, the document states:

  • "All results of testing met acceptance criteria demonstrating that the KIMGUARD* ONE-STEP® Sterilization Wrap allows sterilization of contents by the V-PRO® 60 Low Temperature Sterilization System (Lumen Cycle, Non Lumen Cycle, and Flexible Cycle) and maintains sterility of contents until used."
  • It lists a "Summary of Testing Performed" table with "Results" as "Passed" for "Sterilant Penetration", "Maintenance of Package Integrity (30 Days)", "Performance Testing", and "Material Biocompatibility."

However, it does not provide:

  1. A table of specific acceptance criteria and reported device performance (e.g., quantifiable metrics like sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, or other performance thresholds with numerical results). The results are simply stated as "Passed."
  2. Sample sizes used for the test set and data provenance.
  3. Number of experts and their qualifications used to establish ground truth.
  4. Adjudication method.
  5. Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study details.
  6. Standalone (algorithm only) performance.
  7. Type of ground truth used.
  8. Sample size for the training set.
  9. How ground truth for the training set was established.

The document describes a medical device (sterilization wrap) which functions as a physical barrier and facilitator of sterilization, not an AI-powered diagnostic or interpretive device. Therefore, the types of studies and performance metrics typically associated with AI/software-as-a-medical-device (SaMD) are not applicable here.

§ 880.6850 Sterilization wrap.

(a)
Identification. A sterilization wrap (pack, sterilization wrapper, bag, or accessories, is a device intended to be used to enclose another medical device that is to be sterilized by a health care provider. It is intended to allow sterilization of the enclosed medical device and also to maintain sterility of the enclosed device until used.(b)
