More Information

Not Found

No
The device is a sterilization tray, a passive container for medical instruments, and the description focuses on its material, sterilization compatibility, and physical properties. There is no mention of any computational or analytical functions that would involve AI/ML.

No
The device is a sterilization tray used to hold medical instruments during processing; it does not directly treat or diagnose any medical condition.

No
The Sonopet iQ Sterilization Tray is used to enclose and organize reusable medical instruments for sterilization, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a reusable device manufactured of perforated stainless steel, indicating it is a physical hardware product, not software.

Based on the provided information, the Sonopet iQ Sterilization Tray is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the tray is for enclosing and organizing reusable medical instruments during processing and sterilization. It is not used to perform tests on biological samples or to diagnose conditions.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its function as a container for sterilization, made of stainless steel.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD device, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening
    • Reagents, calibrators, or controls

The device is a medical device used in the processing and sterilization of other medical devices. Its function is related to infection control and preparing instruments for surgical or other medical procedures, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

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

Summary of Nonclinical Testing:

Sterilization and Dry Time Validation

Sterilization validations were performed to verify the effectiveness of steam sterilization of a fully loaded Sonopet iQ Sterilization Tray sterilized in a rigid sterilization container and double-wrapped with sterilization wrap. Tests were performed using an autoclave cycle with pre-vacuum air removal. The study evaluated the resistance of biological indicators (Bls) with 10° Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores to pre-vacuum steam autoclave half cycle exposures. Dry time was evaluated after sterilization. The Sonopet iQ Sterilization Tray was validated per ANSI/AAMI/ISO 17665-1.

Cleaning Validation

A manual and automated cleaning validation was performed per AAMI TIR 30:2011 to validate the cleaning instructions. The results indicate that the recommended cleaning methods were effective in removing soil from all designated surfaces of the Sonopet iQ Sterilization Tray that might be accessible to the end user.

Biocompatibility

Biocompatibility testing was conducted on all materials used in construction of the Sonopet iQ Sterilization Tray per ISO 10993-5 using the MEM Elution method. Test article extracts showed grade 2 or less cell lysis and reactivity, indicating the materials met acceptable cytotoxicity levels.

Design Verification

Design verification testing included verification of the handle strength and weight per ANSI/AAMI ST77, stacking features per DIN EN 868-8, and latch force.

Life Cycle Testing

Life cycle testing was performed to verify that the Sonopet iQ Sterilization Tray maintained functional quality requirements, material integrity, and traceability (artwork and UDI legibility) after exposure to repeated pre-vacuum steam sterilization cycles, automated washing cycles and simulated functional use of the components, which included kitting the tray, latch and handle actuation).

All results of performance testing met acceptance criteria.

Dear Rebecca Walker:

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/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) 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).
