Intended Use
The Self Sealing Sterilization Pouches are intended to be used to enclose another medical devices 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. The Self Sealing Sterilization Pouches are intended for sterilization of dental instruments, excluding complex devices (endoscopes and instruments with lumen/channels). The intended sterilization cycles are listed below: Prevacuum steam; 4 minutes at 132 ℃; 10 minute dry time. Ethylene oxide: 1 hours at 55 ℃; relative humidity between 40%- 80%; 100% ethylene oxide at a concentration of 740 mg/L, 7 day aeration time at 20℃. The pouch's external chemical ink indicators are designed to indicate to the user that the pouch has undergone either a steam or EtO sterilization process. The Self Sealing sterilization Pouches are not intended use for any load with lumen/channels and complex device. The maximum wrapped package weight for each pouch is 540g or 1.19 lbs. The sterilization pouch maintains the enclosed devices up until 6 months post sterilization. The pouches are available in the following sizes: Model(s): 57 x 102mm, 57 x 130 mm, 70 x 255 mm, 83 x 165 mm, 13 x 191 mm, 133 x 279 mm, 133 x 290 mm, 140 x 280 mm, 140 x 330 mm, 190 x 330 mm, 190 x 360 mm, 255 x 380 mm, 279 x 406 mm, 300 x 400 mm, 300 x 474 mm, 305 x 457 mm;
Device Description
There are 18 models of the Self Sealing Sterilization Pouches in this application with different physical specification. These pouches are made from a medical grade paper and plastic (CPP/PET) film that are 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 indicators printed on the medical grade paper will exhibit a color change (EtO- Pink to Yellow/Steam- Blue to Dark Green) after the pouch is exposed to steam or ethylene oxide gas. The validated maintenance of sterility period is 6 months.
More Information

No
The device is a physical sterilization pouch with chemical indicators, and the summary does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would suggest the use of AI/ML.

No
This device is a sterilization pouch intended to maintain the sterility of other medical devices, not to provide therapy itself.

No

The Self Sealing Sterilization Pouches are intended to sterilize and maintain the sterility of enclosed medical devices. The chemical indicators show if a sterilization process (steam or EtO) has occurred, but this is an indicator of process completion, not a diagnosis of a medical condition or disease.

No

The device is a physical product (pouches made of paper and plastic) intended for sterilization and maintaining sterility of other medical devices. It is not software.

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 pouches are used to enclose other medical devices for sterilization and to maintain their sterility. This is a function related to the preparation and storage of medical devices, not the diagnosis of disease or other conditions.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the materials and construction of the pouch, including the sterilization indicators. These are physical characteristics related to packaging and sterilization, not diagnostic testing.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Testing: The non-clinical tests performed are related to the physical properties of the pouch, its ability to maintain sterility, and the effectiveness of the sterilization indicators. These are not tests typically associated with IVD devices.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Device Description

There are 18 models of the Self Sealing Sterilization Pouches in this application with different physical specification.

These pouches are made from a medical grade paper and plastic (CPP/PET) film that are 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 indicators printed on the medical grade paper will exhibit a color change (EtO- Pink to Yellow/Steam- Blue to Dark Green) after the pouch is exposed to steam or ethylene oxide gas. The validated maintenance of sterility period is 6 months.
