Intended Use
The THINK Surgical TCAT® THA Instrument Tray Set is intended to protect, organize, and deliver to the surgical field TCAT tools, instruments and accessories. The trays allow sterilization of tools, instruments and accessories, and maintain sterility of the enclosed devices until used. The trays are wrapped with an FDA-cleared sterilization wrap during the pre-vacuum autoclave sterilization process.
Device Description
The TCAT THAT Instrument Tray Set is intended only for use with TSolution One® Surgical System instruments, tools and accessories. These trays are used to enclose and hold the instruments, tools, and accessories in an organized manner during the sterilization process and subsequent storage and transportation to and from the surgical suite. The trays are designed to fit any standard autoclave and are constructed primarily of anodized aluminum meeting biocompatibility requirements and compatible with repeated steam sterilizations. The trays have perforations to facilitate sterilant penetration, evacuation, and drying. Since the trays are perforated, an FDA cleared sterilization wrap must be used to maintain sterility of the contents. The trays have the same size and same basic configuration: a rectangular base with latchable lid. The trays have perforations with an evenly distributed hole pattern on the lid, bottom, and sides to allow sterilant penetration. The bottom surface and interior shelves of the trays contain stanchions designed to separately hold each individual instrument, tool, and accessory for effective sterilant exposure, evacuation and drying during the entire duration of the sterilization process, as well as ease of locating each instrument when placing in or removing from the tray.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use clearly define the product as a physical instrument tray set for sterilization and organization, with no mention of software, data processing, or AI/ML capabilities. The performance studies focus on sterilization efficacy, packaging, cleaning, and biocompatibility, which are typical for physical medical devices and do not involve AI/ML evaluation.

No
This device is an instrument tray set designed to organize, protect, and sterilize surgical tools. It does not directly provide therapy or treatment to a patient.

No.
The device is described as an instrument tray set intended to protect, organize, and deliver surgical tools and instruments, and to facilitate their sterilization. Its primary function is to hold and transport other devices, not to diagnose medical conditions or provide diagnostic information.

No

The device description clearly states it is constructed primarily of anodized aluminum and is a physical tray set for organizing and sterilizing surgical instruments. It does not mention any software components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "protect, organize, and deliver to the surgical field TCAT tools, instruments and accessories." It also facilitates sterilization and maintains sterility. This is a function related to surgical instruments and their handling, not to testing samples from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics of the trays for holding and sterilizing surgical instruments. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any components used for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening
    • Using reagents or assays

The device is clearly designed to support surgical procedures by managing the instruments used in those procedures.

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

Non-Clinical Performance Testing:

  • Sterilization Efficacy:
    • Purpose: Demonstrate sterilization efficacy of the TCAT THA Instrument Tray Sets containing the maximum inoculated load.
    • Results: The test resulted in no growth and six-log reduction at the half-cycle for both devices of the indicator organism.
  • Packaging:
    • Purpose: Demonstrate that the THINK Surgical TCAT® THA Instrument Tray Set was evaluated with maximum load, wrapped according to use instructions and in the shipping configurations according to a shipping validation test.
    • Results: The results for both trays indicate packaging endpoints were met.
  • Cleaning:
    • Purpose: Demonstrate that that the cleaning instructions for the TCAT THA Instrument Tray Set are valid.
    • Results: The results for both tray indicated cleaning endpoints were met.
  • Biocompatibility:
    • Purpose: Demonstrate that the TCAT THA Instrument Tray Set is biocompatible.
    • Results: Under the conditions of the test, the device extract was not cytotoxic.

Dear George Prendergast:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal

statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.html; good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

The TCAT® THA Instrument Tray Sets were found to be similar to the predicate. Three fundamental similarities are:

  1. Basic design: Both the TCAT THA Instrument Trays and the predicate have a basic lid/base design with latches, handles, perforations, and contoured inserts or sections for containing items for sterilization, storage, and transport. General size, shape, weight, and materials are not identical but are similar.

  2. Fundamental Technology: The TCAT THA Instrument Tray Sets and the predicate allow the sterilant (steam) to penetrate and render its contents sterile by relying on surface perforations.

Primary differences are related to size, shape, intended contents, surface perforations, and appearance.
