The GUS ASTRA TEE™ automated reprocessor facilitates high-level disinfection and rinsing of 1 or 2 transsophageal ultrasound probes using FDA cleared and PCI Medical approved high-level liquid disinfectants.

The GUS ASTRA VR™ automated reprocessor facilitates high-level disinfection and rinsing of 1 or 2 endovaginal and/or endorectal ultrasound probes using FDA cleared and PCI Medical approved high-level liquid disinfectants.

Device Description

The ASTRA Product Family of automated reprocessors are floor standing electromechanical lab equipment that facilitate high-level liquid disinfection of ultrasound probes that have been enzymatically pre-cleaned.

The GUS ASTRA TEE and GUS ASTRA VR are automated reprocessors which are identical with the exception of the disinfection chamber configuration necessary to compensate for two different types of ultrasound probes. The GUS ASTRA TEE is an automated reprocessor which enables high-level disinfection and rinsing for transesophageal (TEE) ultrasound probes. The GUS ASTRA VR is an automated reprocessor which enables high-level disinfection and rinsing for endovaginal and/or endorectal ultrasound probes.

Both ASTRA systems utilize predefined programs based upon the high-level liquid disinfectant (HLD) used during the disinfection and potable water rinsing cycles. The system controls the HLD temperature and cycle times which are fixed, no user configuration is available. The device will perform the defined automated disinfection and rinsing cycles based upon the HLD specifications. The microprocessor controlled interface monitors temperature and liquid levels of the HLD in the disinfection chamber and the reservoir. Optical sensors are used for HLD reservoir presence and probe identification. Additional user inputs include unique probe identification (for disinfection records) and the results entry of the Minimum Recommended Concentration (MRC) test using test strips and minimum concentration levels as defined by the HLD manufacturer. A sensor located on the disinfection chamber door is used to initiate the cycle after the user has input the required information. User retrievable data/information regarding reprocessing is accessible through a USB port.

AI/ML Overview

This appears to be a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, specifically automated reprocessors for ultrasound probes. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device ("TD-100 Transesophageal Probe Disinfector").

The information provided does not describe an AI/ML-based device, a comparative effectiveness study with human readers, or an algorithm-only standalone study. Therefore, sections pertaining to these aspects (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) cannot be answered from the provided text.

The acceptance criteria relate to the physical and functional performance of the device, focusing on its ability to control the high-level disinfectant (HLD) process and user safety. The "study" mentioned refers to verification and validation testing to ensure the device meets these performance specifications and is substantially equivalent to the predicate.

Here's the breakdown of the information that can be extracted:


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria / Performance AttributeReported Device Performance
Control of HLD temperature, soak time, and rinse cycle to facilitate ≥6 Log reduction of M. terrae at each site tested using FDA cleared Metricide OPA.Device repeatedly maintains time and temperature required for disinfection. (This implies facilitating ≥6 Log reduction based on HLD specifications.)
Maintain time and temperature required for disinfection as per HLD specificationsPassed
Safety and EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) testingPassed
Simulated use and residual testingPassed (6 log reduction of M. terrae, residual testing ISO10993-5 cytotoxic effect of <= 2)
In-use testingPassed (complete kill)
UL 61010 electrical safetyPassed as per METLabs testing
Electromagnetic (EMC) compatibilityPassed as per METLabs testing
Theory of Operation (Control time, temperature, and fluid levels to maintain optimal conditions for disinfection and rinsing as established by HLD manufacturers)ASTRA TEE and ASTRA VR same as predicate (TD-100).
Disinfection time control (Timing Chip & Software)Substantially equivalent to TD-100. Time control parameters are contingent to HLD Type and manufacturer specifications.
Disinfection temperature control (Temperature sensor & Software)Substantially equivalent to TD-100. Temperature control parameters are contingent to HLD Type and manufacturer specifications.
HLD warming capability (Warmer pad)Substantially equivalent to TD-100.
Liquid Level Control (HLD and rinse)HLD Level control by sensor; Rinse level control by sensor. Substantially equivalent to TD-100 (which uses volume control for HLD and sensor for rinse).
Overflow Protection (Sensor & Software)Same as predicate.
Probe Detection (Sensor/microswitch & Software)Same as predicate.
HLD Vapor Control (Door, fan & filter)Same as predicate.
User Interface (Text based interface, 4 button keypad, USB port)Substantially equivalent to TD-100 (which uses 15 button keypad, Printer). ASTRA TEE and ASTRA VR utilize USB port and Barcode Scanner, unlike predicate's printer and manual keypad input.
HLD MRC (Minimum Recommended Concentration) VerificationOperator must verify MRC. Substantially equivalent to TD-100 (which requires operator to verify HLD expiration date, MRC not specified).
Compatible HLDsUses FDA cleared HLDs (Metricide OPA) per specifications. Substantially equivalent to TD-100 (which uses TD-100 specific FDA cleared HLD (TD-5)).
Disinfectant UsageApproved for re-use per HLD specifications OPA up to 14 days or when MRC test fails. Substantially equivalent to TD-100 (which is single use). Usage contingent to HLD Type and manufacturer specifications.
Rinse waterPotable water filtered with FDA cleared 0.2µm bacteria retention filter. Substantially equivalent to TD-100 (which uses potable water). Usage contingent to HLD Type and manufacturer specifications.
RinsingPer HLD. Same as predicate.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
The document
does not specify a "sample size" in the context of typical AI/ML testing (e.g., number of cases or images). The testing appears to be primarily laboratory-based and simulated use testing of the device itself.
Data provenance is not explicitly stated as country of origin, but the testing was conducted to U.S. and international standards (e.g., UL, ISO, EN, ANSI/AAMI/IEC) for medical devices. The nature of the testing suggests it is prospective in the sense of verifying device performance against established standards.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
Not applicable. Ground truth in this context relates to the validated performance criteria of the disinfection process, not expert-labeled medical data.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. This is not a study involving human reader interpretation or adjudication.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
No, this type of study was not done. The device is an automated reprocessor, not an AI diagnostic aid.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. The device is a physical reprocessor, not an algorithm. The device's "standalone" performance is assessed through its ability to independently control the disinfection process parameters.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The "ground truth" for this device's performance is derived from:

  • HLD (High-Level Disinfectant) manufacturer specifications: These define the required time and temperature for effective disinfection.
  • Industry standards: Such as ISO 10993-5 (cytotoxicity), UL 61010-1/CSA C22.2 No. 61010-1 (electrical safety), EN 61326-1 (EMC), ANSI/AAMI/IEC 62304 (Medical Device Software).
  • Microbiological performance standards: e.g., achieving ≥6 Log reduction of M. terrae.

8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI/ML model for this device.

    Component selection was carefully performed to select materials that have appropriate electrical safety rating, fire safety rating, and to be compatible with select FDA cleared HLDs.

Differences

Both reprocessors are derived from the same base unit (identical software, electronics, plumbing, valves, sensors, warming pad, cabinet, etc.) which is configurable to become either a er demand. To configure a base unit, TEE and VR specific components (e.g. disinfection chamber, chamber door, cable holder, etc.) are

used to accommodate the differences between TEE and VR ultrasound probe geometries.

Device Operational Overview

The ASTRA Product Family of automated reprocessors are designed to control the temperature of the high-level liquid disinfectant (HLD), the disinfection time, and the rinse cycles used to

automatically loads the appropriate preset parameters based on the barcode of the scanned HLD bottle. After the probes are enzymatically pre-cleaned per hospital protocol, reprocessing in the ASTRA is initiated through the use of a simple user interface. The operator presses Enter to start the cycle and uses the onboard barcode reader to scan and load 1 or 2 probes and to s MRC status at the next prompt. The user will

on completion of the disinfection cycle. The

ASTRA systems use select FDA cleared high-level liquid disinfectant to safely and effectively disinfect medical devices. By automating the disinfection process through validated software and hardware, the ASTRA Product Family of automated reprocessors help users improve their disinfection outcomes by controlling and tracking the critical process parameters and recording the key operational data.

The GUS ASTRA TEE and GUS ASTRA VR are automated reprocessors which are identical with the exception of the disinfection chamber configuration necessary to compensate for two different types of ultrasound probes. The GUS ASTRA TEE is an automated reprocessor which enables high-level disinfection and rinsing for transesophageal (TEE) ultrasound probes. The GUS ASTRA VR is an automated reprocessor which enables high-level disinfection and rinsing for endovaginal and/or endorectal ultrasound probes.

Both ASTRA systems utilize predefined programs based upon the high-level liquid disinfectant (HLD) used during the disinfection and potable water rinsing cycles. The system controls the HLD temperature and cycle times which are fixed, no user configuration is available. The device will perform the defined automated disinfection and rinsing cycles based upon the HLD specifications. The microprocessor controlled interface monitors temperature and liquid levels of the HLD in the disinfection chamber and the reservoir. Optical sensors are used for HLD reservoir presence and probe identification. Additional user inputs include unique probe identification (for disinfection records) and the results entry of the Minimum Recommended Concentration (MRC) test using test strips and minimum concentration levels as defined by the HLD manufacturer. A sensor located on the disinfection chamber door is used to initiate the cycle after the user has input the required information. User retrievable data/information regarding reprocessing is accessible through a USB port.

Performance Characteristics

The ASTRA Product Family of automated reprocessors utilizes the same technology and highlevel disinfection approach employed by the predicate device, the TD-100 cleared under K051305. It should be noted that TD-100 system is comprised of the instrument and proprietary TD-5 HLD. The TD-100 controls time, temperature, and rinse parameters using the TD-5 proprietary HLD to achieve a ≥6 Log reduction. The ASTRA controls time, temperature, and rinse parameters to facilitate a ≥6 Log reduction by the FDA approved HLD. As a result, this submission primarily focuses on the performance specification of the instrument and controls (time, temperature, and rinse) common to both devices.

The ASTRA system and the TD-100 both control the HLD temperature, soak time, and rinse cycle to facilitate ≥6 Log reduction of M. terrae on enzymatically cleaned probes.
