Intended Use

Sterisheet Sterilization Wraps are single use non-woven sterilization wraps intended to enclose medical devices that are to be sterilized at a healthcare facility. They are used in 3-hour and 6hour gas exposures at 50°C in the EOGas 4 Ethylene Oxide Gas Sterilizer.

Device Description

Sterisheet Sterilization Wraps are single use, non-sterilyzation wraps constructed from cellulose, synthetic fibers (polypropylene), and synthetic binders, with the addition of pigmentation. They are used to enclose medical devices that are to be sterilized by a healthcare provider in 3-hour and 6-hour gas exposures at 50°C in the EOGas 4 Ethylene Oxide Gas Sterilizer. Devices must be wrapped following manufacturer's instructions. After completion of the sterilization process. Sterisheet Sterilization Wraps maintain sterility of the enclosed medical devices for 6 month.

AN85 EO Indicators, when placed on the outside of the sterilization wraps, may be used to secure the wrapping material on the devices and to indicate ethylene oxide exposure, offering a convenient way to verify processing in the sterilization cycle. The color of the AN85 EO Indicators changes from yellow-green to blue after exposure to ethylene oxide.

AI/ML Overview

The information provided describes the acceptance criteria and a summary of non-clinical testing for the Sterisheet Sterilization Wrap (K200335), which is intended for use in a 6-hour ethylene oxide (EO) gas sterilization cycle.

Here's an analysis of the requested information based on the provided text:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

TestPurposeAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Compliance to ISO 11607-1
Physical and Chemical PropertiesTo evaluate the package integrity after EO sterilizationVarious standards for various properties (e.g., ISO 536 for Substance, ISO 5636-3 for Permeability, EN 868-2 for Fluorescence and Water repellency)There was no effect on the physical and chemical properties after EO sterilization.
Bacterial Filtration Efficiency and Germ Proofness dry and wet challenge testTo demonstrate that Sterisheet provide a microbial barrier propertyBacterial Filtration Efficiency (ASTM F2101); Germ Proofness dry and wet challenge test (DIN 58953-6)Sterisheet passed all tests and were effective for sterility assurance pre- and post-EO sterilization.
Material CompatibilityTo demonstrate Sterisheet is suitable for use in EO sterilization processes and the associated cycle parametersThe physical, chemical, and microbial barrier properties of Sterisheet are compatible for intended use in EO sterilization per ISO 10993 and USPThe ability of the wraps to act as a microbial barrier was unaffected, and the contents of the packs remained sterile after EO sterilization.
BiocompatibilityTo demonstrate that Sterisheet provides reasonable assurance for safetyBiological evaluation (MEM Elution, Sensitization and Irritation Test) per ISO 10993 and USPNot direct patient-contacting devices; Biological evaluation Showed that Sterisheet met all accepted performance criteria for non-toxicity. No pigment leaches out of Sterisheet during 6-hour EO exposures. With an additional 6-hour aeration, the residual EO detected in Sterisheet met ISO 10993-7 requirements.
Shelf LifeTo evaluate the physical, chemical, and microbial barrier of the processed Sterisheet at the end of the claimed shelf lifeStability demonstrates reasonable assurance for effectivenessThe physical, chemical, and microbial barrier properties of the wraps were verified at the end of 5 years and met specifications.
Performance in the 6-hour Gas exposure in the EOGas 4 Ethylene Oxide Gas Sterilizer
Sterilant PenetrationTo demonstrate Sterisheet allow sterilization of the wrapped devices in half dose, full dose, simulated-use and in-use testingInactivation of 6-Log biological indicators at the worst-case location in the endoscope load wrapped in the Sterisheet for all the testing performedData demonstrate that Sterisheet Sterilization Wraps allow penetration of EO and sterilization of the enclosed devices.
Maintenance of Package SterilityTo demonstrate Sterisheet maintain sterility of the enclosed medical deviceThe sterilized devices wrapped in Sterisheet remain sterileSterility was maintained for 6 months after processing in Sterisheet wrapped endoscopes.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

The document lists "Performance Testing" and "Summary of bench tests" but does not provide details on specific sample sizes for these tests. It indicates that the tests conform to ISO 11607-1, ASTM F2101, DIN 58953-6, ISO 10993, and USP standards. These are bench-level tests (non-clinical) and do not involve human subjects or geographical data provenance in the typical sense. The testing was conducted to prove the performance of the wrap itself.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This information is not applicable as the study described is a non-clinical performance evaluation of a sterilization wrap, not a diagnostic device relying on expert interpretation for ground truth. The "ground truth" here is the outcome of standardized physical, chemical, and biological tests.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

This information is not applicable as the tests are objective laboratory tests rather than subjective assessments requiring adjudication.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

This information is not applicable as MRMC studies are relevant for diagnostic tools, particularly those involving human interpretation of medical images or data, often with AI assistance. The Sterisheet Sterilization Wrap is a medical device for sterilization, not a diagnostic or AI-powered interpretative tool.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

This information is not applicable for the same reasons as above. The device is not an algorithm. The "standalone" performance here refers to the wrap's inherent ability to function as a microbial barrier and allow sterilant penetration.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

The ground truth for the non-clinical tests is established through objective laboratory measurements and validated biological indicators. For example:

  • Physical and Chemical Properties: Measured values against established standards (e.g., ISO for substance, permeability).
  • Bacterial Filtration Efficiency and Germ Proofness: Efficacy in preventing microbial passage according to ASTM and DIN standards.
  • Material Compatibility: Physical, chemical, and microbial barrier properties remaining acceptable after EO exposure.
  • Biocompatibility: Absence of toxicity per ISO 10993 and USP (MEM Elution, Sensitization, Irritation).
  • Sterilant Penetration: Inactivation of 6-Log biological indicators.
  • Maintenance of Package Sterility: Absence of microorganism growth after storage.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not applicable. The Sterisheet Sterilization Wrap is not an AI/ML device that requires a "training set." The tests are empirical demonstrations of its physical, chemical, and biological performance.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This information is not applicable as there is no training set for this device.

Summary of Non-Clinical Testing

Performance Testing

Sterisheet Sterilization Wraps conform to all applicable requirements for packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices for EO sterilization, based on ISO 11607-1. Performance testing was conducted to show that Sterisheet Sterilization Wraps perform as intended to allow sterilization and maintain sterility of the enclosed medical device. Sterilization efficacy testing demonstrated a sterility assurance level of 106 using the half dose validation method under worst-case conditions. Shelf life studies demonstrated after completion of the EOGas 4 sterilization process, sterility is maintained for 6 months. The performance of Sterisheet Sterilization Wraps is summarized in Table 5-4.
