Intended Use

The Aesculap SterilContainer™ S2 System is a reusable rigid sterilization container system intended to be used to enclose another medical device that is to be sterilized by a healthcare provider. It is intended to allow sterilization of the enclosed device and also maintain sterility of the enclosed device until used. This container system is compatible for use in the following sterilization modalities:

  • Ethylene Oxide
  • STERRAD 100NX DUO cycle
  • . STERIZONE VP4

The Aesculap SterilContainer S2 System includes accessories such as silicone mats and organizers, stainless steel baskets, trays, holders, sterilization indicator cards and tamper proof locks.

Device Description

The Aesculap SterilContainer S2 System is a reusable rigid container system intended for sterilization and storage of other medical devices. This container system is compatible for use in the following sterilization modalities:

  • Ethylene Oxide ●
  • STERRAD 100NX DUO cycle
  • STERIZONE VP4 ●

The containers are perforated and made from anodized aluminum and utilize a single-use filter. The SterilContainer S2 System includes accessories such as mats, baskets, trays, instrument holders, organizers, filters, indicator cards and tamper proof locks.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (sterilization container system), not for an AI/ML powered device. As such, the concept of a "test set," "training set," "experts to establish ground truth," "adjudication method," or "MRMC comparative effectiveness study" does not apply to this type of device submission. The performance testing outlined is for sterilization efficacy, simulated use, material compatibility, and cytotoxicity, which are standard for sterilization container systems and do not involve AI/ML components.

Therefore, I cannot extract the information required by your prompt regarding AI/ML device acceptance criteria and study details from this document. The document describes the acceptance criteria and study that proves the device meets those criteria, but these are for a physical sterilization device, not an AI/ML algorithm.

If you are interested in the acceptance criteria and study for the sterilization container itself, I can provide that information based on the document.

However, assuming you are looking for the outlined AI/ML specific information, I must state that the document does not contain it.

Dear Sierra Mertz:

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

{1}------------------------------------------------

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 (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).

PERFORMANCE TESTING

Non-clinical testing was conducted to verify performance of the subject device. The testing summarized below demonstrates that the subject device meets the established acceptance criteria.

Performance TestingPurposeAcceptance CriteriaResults
Sterilization EfficacyTo determine sterilizationeffectiveness of testdevice after processing ina sterilization cycle.A sterility assurance level (SAL) of10-6 will be achieved post sterilization using theBI overkill method and half cycle validation.Biological indicators must be negative for growthafter incubation period.Pass
Simulated UseTo determine the effectivesterilization of flexiblescopes when used withthe test device.A minimum of 1.0 x 106 spores contained withinorganic soil representative of actual useconditions are killed during defined sterilizationcycle. Biological indicators must be negative forgrowth after incubation period.Pass
Material CompatibilityTo assess effects of fulluse cycles on devicecomponents and theirintended functionality.No degradation or impact to functionality at thecompletion multiple sterilization cycles.Pass
CytotoxicityTo determine the potentialof a test device to causecytotoxicity.Testing completed in accordance with ISO10993-5: 2009 to demonstrate no significantcytotoxic reaction after exposure to sterilant.Using the ISO Elution Method, the response tothe article is not greater than 2 (mild reactivity).Pass

CONCLUSION

The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical tests demonstrate that the Aesculap SterilContainer S2 System is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate devices.
