More Information

No
The device is a physical sterilization container system and the summary does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No.

This device is a sterilization container system designed to hold other medical devices for sterilization and maintain their sterility, not to treat a disease or condition itself.

No

The device is a sterilization container system, not a diagnostic device. Its purpose is to sterilize and maintain the sterility of other medical devices, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical container system made of materials like anodized aluminum and PTFE, intended for enclosing other medical devices for sterilization. It is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a "reusable sterilization container system... intended to be used to enclose another medical device that is to be sterilized by a healthcare provider." This describes a device used in the sterilization process of other medical devices, not a device used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components and function of the container system for sterilization.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information
    • Detecting diseases or conditions
    • Using reagents or assays

The device's function is to facilitate the sterilization and maintenance of sterility for other medical devices, which falls under the category of medical device accessories or sterilization equipment, not in vitro diagnostics.

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

The SterilContainer with PrimeLine Pro Lid was fully validated for pre-vacuum steam and IUSS sterilization cycles. The validations were conducted in accordance with FDA guidance and available AAMI standards by a qualified testing laboratory. The performance testing demonstrates substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. The following performance testing has been completed to ensure substantial equivalence. Test were performed in best/mid/worst case sized regarding vent to volume ratio and container size.

Performance Properties
Sterilization Efficacy: Testing demonstrated a 6 log reduction and a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10-6 using the biological (BI) overkill method and half-cycle validation.
Whole Package Microbial Aerosol Challenge: After exposure to a defined amount of aerosol microorganisms contents maintained sterility.
Event Related Sterility Maintenance (30, 180, and 365 days): The test reports demonstrated that the SterilContainer with PrimeLine Pro Lid consistently maintained sterility of the contents after processing followed by a 30, 180, and 365 day event related storage under conditions which simulate hospital sterile package handling and storage conditions as long as the barrier is not compromised.
Mechanical Cleaning (Protein Analysis): The study results validate that the mechanical cleaning instructions were effective in removing gross amounts of soil from the SterilContainer with PrimeLine Pro Lid to a protein level of less than 6.4µg/cm² per device.
Mechanical Cleaning (Hemoglobin Analysis): The study results validate that the mechanical cleaning instructions were effective in removing gross amounts of soil from the SterilContainer with PrimeLine Pro Lid to a hemoglobin level of less than 2.2 µg/cm² per device.
Manual Cleaning (Protein Analysis): The study results validate that the manual cleaning instructions were effective in removing gross amounts of soil from the SterilContainer with PrimeLine Pro Lid to a protein level of less than 6.4µg/cm² per device.

TECHNOLIGICAL CHARACTERISTICS (compared to predicates)

The SterilContainer with PrimeLine Pro Lid is made from anodized aluminum (AMg1). The only difference between the subject device and the predicate lid is material of the lid. The original Primeline Lid (K073168) is constructed of a plastic polymer, but uses the exact same integrated PTFE filter and retention plate system of the subject SterilContainer with PrimeLine Pro Lid. This new lid is manufactured from the same aluminum type material that is used for other Aesculap SterilContainer Lids (K112671/K053389/K792258).

6

The SterilContainer with PrimeLine Pro Lid is compatible for use with pre-vacuum steam and IUSS sterilization which are the cycles that the Primeline Lid (K073168) was cleared for use with (steam and flash). Aesculap's Sterilization Container System was cleared for use in pre-vacuum steam and pre-vacuum IUSS among other sterilization modalities.

The SterilContainer with PrimeLine Pro Lid is offered in variety of colors and sizes (full, 3/4, and half).

PERFORMANCE DATA

The SterilContainer with PrimeLine Pro Lid was fully validated for pre-vacuum steam and IUSS sterilization cycles. The validations were conducted in accordance with FDA guidance and available AAMI standards by a qualified testing laboratory. The performance testing demonstrates substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. The following performance testing has been completed to ensure substantial equivalence. Test were performed in best/mid/worst case sized regarding vent to volume ratio and container size.

Performance PropertiesResults
Sterilization EfficacyTesting demonstrated a 6 log reduction and a sterility
assurance level (SAL) of 10-6 using the biological (BI)

Whole Package Microbial
Aerosol ChallengeAfter exposure to a defined amount of aerosol
microorganisms contents maintained sterility.
Event Related Sterility
Maintenance (30, 180, and
365 days).The test reports demonstrated that the SterilContainer with
PrimeLine Pro Lid consistently maintained sterility of the
contents after processing followed by a 30, 180, and 365
day event related storage under conditions which simulate
hospital sterile package handling and storage conditions as
long as the barrier is not compromised.
Mechanical Cleaning
(Protein Analysis)The study results validate that the mechanical cleaning
instructions were effective in removing gross amounts of
soil from the SterilContainer with PrimeLine Pro Lid to a
protein level of less than 6.4µg/cm² per device.
Mechanical Cleaning
(Hemoglobin Analysis)The study results validate that the mechanical cleaning
instructions were effective in removing gross amounts of
soil from the SterilContainer with PrimeLine Pro Lid to a
hemoglobin level of less than 2.2 µg/cm² per device.
Manual Cleaning (Protein

instructions were effective in removing gross amounts of
soil from the SterilContainer with PrimeLine Pro Lid to a
protein level of less than 6.4µg/cm² per device.
Manual Cleaning
(Hemoglobin Analysis)The study results validate that the manual cleaning
instructions were effective in removing gross amounts of
soil from the SterilContainer with PrimeLine Pro Lid to a
protein level of less than 2.2 µg/cm² per device.

CONCLUSION

The SterilContainer with PrimeLine Pro Lid is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. The conclusions drawn from the non-clinical tests demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well or better than the legally marketed predicate device.
