The summary describes an automated reprocessor for disinfecting ultrasound probes, focusing on electromechanical functions and disinfection parameters. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would indicate the use of such technologies.
No
The device is an automated reprocessor designed to disinfect ultrasound probes, not directly treat a patient's condition.
No
The device is described as an automated reprocessor for high-level disinfection and rinsing of ultrasound probes, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is "floor standing electromechanical lab equipment," indicating it is a hardware device with software components, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to facilitate high-level disinfection and rinsing of ultrasound probes. This is a process performed on medical devices (the probes) to prepare them for use, not a test performed on a biological sample to diagnose a condition or provide information about a patient's health.
- Device Description: The device is described as "floor standing electromechanical lab equipment that facilitate high-level liquid disinfection." This aligns with equipment used for reprocessing medical devices, not for performing diagnostic tests.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
- Providing diagnostic information about a patient
- Using reagents or assays for testing
The device's function is to clean and disinfect medical equipment, which falls under the category of medical device reprocessing, not in vitro diagnostics.

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 disinfect ultrasound probes in accordance with HLD manufactures' instructions. The system 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 scan their ID. The operator then enters the HLD's MRC status at the next prompt. The user will be notified of the probe's disinfection status upon 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 ASTRA TEE® and 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 ASTRA TEE® is an automated reprocessor which enables highlevel disinfection and rinsing for transesophageal (TEE) ultrasound probes. The 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.

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. No material changes were made from the predicate device.
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 ASTRA TEE® or ASTRA VR™ based on customer 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 disinfect ultrasound probes in accordance with HLD manufactures' instructions.

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 devices, cleared under K150504. Only the software has been re-activated to recognize the additional HLDs (Cidex OPA and Resert XL) originally targeted as part of K150504 for approval as part of this current Traditional 510k submission. The ASTRA controls time, temperature, and rinse parameters used to facilitate a ≥6 Log reduction by the select FDA approved HLDs. As a result, this submission primarily focuses on the performance specification of the instrument and controls (time, temperature, and rinse) common to both devices as it relates to the select HLDs.
The ASTRA systems control the HLD temperature, soak time, and rinse cycle to facilitate ≥6 Log reduction of M. terrae on enzymatically cleaned probes.
