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

Performance test data in accordance with ANSI/AAMI ST77 (bench, durability, corrosion resistance, cleaning, and sterilization tests) demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and that the design output meets the design input requirements. The testing conducted consisted of dimensional measurements, functional verification, biological safety assessment, cleaning and sterilization and package testing.

The subject Endoscope Sterilization Tray underwent verification testing of dimensional and functional specifications. Trays were assessed for sharp edges, compatible materials, latch security, lid and base interchangeability, weight, and tray markings. The subject device successfully passed all requirements described in the protocol. These results demonstrate that the Endoscope Sterilization Tray meets the functional requirements.

Based upon the toxicological assessment of the material characterization, the established biocompatibility results of the predicate device for intracutaneous injection, sensitization and hemolysis testing for the same materials and same intended clinical use, and the provisions of ISO 10993-1, the biological risk evaluation has determined that the subject Endoscope Sterilization Tray is biocompatible for its intended use as a containment device.

Sterilization validation testing was conducted in the STERRAD 100NX sterilization system using the Express and DUO cycles, in the STERRAD 100S sterilization system using the Standard cycle and in the V-PRO maX using the Non Lumen cycle. The subject Endoscope Sterilization Tray, in combination with an FDA cleared sterilization wrap, passed the sterilization validations.

The subject Endoscope Sterilization Tray (P/N 400490-04) was evaluated for the ability of the wrapped tray to maintain sterility during routine handling that would be encountered in the clinical setting. The sterilized wrapped tray was showered with an aerosol of spores and incubated. After incubation the tray was tested for positive growth. The tray successfully demonstrated negative growth. These results verify that, when wrapped and sterilized, the tray will maintain sterility after routine handling.

The subject Endoscope Sterilization Tray underwent Limits of Reuse testing. The Iimits of reuse study consisted of repeated sterilization cycles. Each tray was inspected for damage to the cover, base and latches at the beginning of the study and again after completion of all sterilization cycles. The subject tray passed all requirements as described in the protocol.

The subject Endoscope Sterilization Tray was packaged and subjected to simulated shipping testing per ASTM D4169-09 to ensure that both the product and packaging are validated for customer shipment. Packaged Endoscope Sterilization Trays were subjected to environmental conditioning, initial manual handling (drop testing), vehicle vibration, vehicle stacking (compression), etc. The packaging and the Endoscope Sterilization Tray passed all inspection criteria.

The subject and predicate devices have the same intended use, indications for use, and materials.

Summary of Non-Clinical Testing:

Performance test data in accordance with ANSI/AAMI ST77 (bench, durability, corrosion resistance, cleaning, and sterilization tests) demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and that the design output meets the design input requirements. The testing conducted consisted of dimensional measurements, functional verification, biological safety assessment, cleaning and sterilization and package testing.

The subject Endoscope Sterilization Tray underwent verification testing of dimensional and functional specifications. Trays were assessed for sharp edges, compatible materials, latch security, lid and base interchangeability, weight, and tray markings. The subject device successfully passed all requirements described in the protocol. These results demonstrate that the Endoscope Sterilization Tray meets the functional requirements.

Based upon the toxicological assessment of the material characterization, the established biocompatibility results of the predicate device for intracutaneous injection, sensitization and hemolysis testing for the same materials and same intended clinical use, and the provisions of ISO 10993-1, the biological risk evaluation has determined that the subject Endoscope Sterilization Tray is biocompatible for its intended use as a containment device.

Sterilization validation testing was conducted in the STERRAD 100NX sterilization system using the Express and DUO cycles, in the STERRAD 100S sterilization system using the Standard cycle and in the V-PRO maX using the Non Lumen cycle. The subject

Endoscope Sterilization Tray, in combination with an FDA cleared sterilization wrap, passed the sterilization validations.

The subject Endoscope Sterilization Tray (P/N 400490-04) was evaluated for the ability of the wrapped tray to maintain sterility during routine handling that would be encountered in the clinical setting. The sterilized wrapped tray was showered with an aerosol of spores and incubated. After incubation the tray was tested for positive growth. The tray successfully demonstrated negative growth. These results verify that, when wrapped and sterilized, the tray will maintain sterility after routine handling.

The subject Endoscope Sterilization Tray underwent Limits of Reuse testing. The Iimits of reuse study consisted of repeated sterilization cycles. Each tray was inspected for damage to the cover, base and latches at the beginning of the study and again after completion of all sterilization cycles. The subject tray passed all requirements as described in the protocol.

The subject Endoscope Sterilization Tray was packaged and subjected to simulated shipping testing per ASTM D4169-09 to ensure that both the product and packaging are validated for customer shipment. Packaged Endoscope Sterilization Trays were subjected to environmental conditioning, initial manual handling (drop testing), vehicle vibration, vehicle stacking (compression), etc. The packaging and the Endoscope Sterilization Tray passed all inspection criteria.

Conclusion:

The conclusions drawn from the comparison of the intended use, and technological characteristics and the results of the nonclinical tests demonstrate that the subject device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed predicate device K180964.
