Intended Use
The MTS System (Multiple Tray Sterilization System) is indicated for enclosing other medical devices that are to be sterilized by a healthcare provider. It is intended to allow sterilization of the enclosed materials and maintain sterility for up to 30 days. The unit must be used with the MTS System Transfer Cart, MTS System Filters and MTS System Integrity Locks. The MTS System is intended to be used in prevacuum steam sterilizers with a prevacuum cycle of 270°F and exposure time of 4 minutes. Use no more than 3 trays per shelf or 25 lbs. per tray. The MTS System was tested and validated with rigid instruments containing lumens with an inner diameter of 0.7mm and an overall length of 500mm as well as lumens with an inner diameter of 1.0mm and an overall length of 850mm. Do not use with instruments containing lumens with an inner diameter smaller than 0.7mm and an overall length longer than 500mm or lumens with an inner diameter smaller than 1.0mm and an overall length longer than 850mm. Use only uncovered, perforated or wire mesh general delivery trays within the MTS System.
Device Description
The MTS System is comprised of the stainless steel sterilization cabinet and adjustable transfer cart. Single use filters and integrity locks with sterilization indicator dots are used with the system for each sterilization cycle. An optional STEAMPlus™ tray record card with STEAMPlus sterilization integrator (SPS Medical) may be utilized by the healthcare provider. Adjustable shelves within the cabinet can hold up to three trays (uncovered, perforated or wire mesh) of devices and/or surgical instruments intended for a single patient surgery. No more than 25 pounds can be loaded per tray for a maximum of 75 pounds per shelf. The MTS300 Cabinet (with four shelves) can hold up to 300 pounds per load and the MTS225 Cabinet (with three shelves) can hold up to 225 pounds per load. The loaded cabinet is deployed from the adjustable transfer cart and processed in pre-vacuum steam sterilizers. Processing includes the standard conditioning phase of the autoclave followed by a sterilization cycle time of a minimum of 4 minutes and a dry cycle of a minimum of 10 minutes. Sterility is maintained for up to 30 days.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical design and sterilization efficacy of a containment system, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
The device is described as a sterilization system intended for enclosing other medical devices to be sterilized, not for treating patients directly. Its purpose is to maintain sterility, making it an auxiliary device for medical procedures rather than a therapeutic one.

No

The device is a sterilization and containment system for other medical devices, not a diagnostic device. Its purpose is to sterilize and maintain the sterility of medical instruments.

No

The device description clearly states it is comprised of a stainless steel sterilization cabinet and adjustable transfer cart, which are physical hardware components.

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 MTS System is for "enclosing other medical devices that are to be sterilized by a healthcare provider." It facilitates the sterilization process and maintains sterility of the enclosed items.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical system (stainless steel cabinet, transfer cart, filters, locks) used for holding and processing medical devices in a steam sterilizer.
  • No mention of in vitro testing: There is no indication that this device is used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to diagnose, monitor, or treat a disease or condition.

The MTS System is a sterilization containment device, which falls under a different category of medical devices than IVDs.

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

Nonclinical data was generated to ensure the MTS Systems meet the intended use. Sterilization efficacy verification studies were performed in accordance with the requirements of ANSI/AAMI ST77:2013 Containment devices for reusable medical device sterilization.
The smaller modified MTS300 System (the MTS225 System) is dimensionally smaller in height and lighter weight. Because of its smaller size, the Volume-to-Vent ratio is less than the MTS300 System.
The MTS Systems (both the MTS225 and MTS300 Systems) have demonstrated the ability to: achieve a 10-6 SAL when sterilizing longer and smaller lumen sized instruments (rigid instruments containing lumens with an inner diameter of 0.7mm and an overall length of 500mm as well as lumens with an inner diameter of 1.0mm and an overall length of 850mm), meet or exceed the shorter minimum dry time of 10 minutes, and maintain sterility for 30 days following rigorous outdoor transportation and storage outside the sterilization facility.

Dear Annette Hillring:

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.
