Intended Use
The KARL STORZ Metal Sterilization Trays are intended only for use to encase and protect specific KARL STORZ reusable medical devices for sterilization in pre-vacuum steam sterilization cycle (132ºC for four minutes with a 20 minute dry time). When used in conjunction with an FDA cleared sterility of the enclosed medical device is maintained until used. The system has been validated with devices with working channels >= 0.2mm and a maximum length of 240mm.
Device Description
The KARL STORZ-ENDOSCOPE Metal Sterilization Trays are intended only for use to encase various KARL STORZ reusable medical devices for sterilization in steam cycles. The sterilization trays are not intended to maintain sterility by themselves. Prior to sterilization. the trays must be double-wrapped with an appropriate FDA-cleared sterilization wrap to provide a microbial barrier which allows sterilant to permeate throughout the interior of the loaded tray. The tray configurations are all baskets, available in various sizes, which are designed to encase KARL STORZ medical devices, such as light cables, instruments, rigid telescopes, semi-rigid telescopes, etc. All systems consist of a stainless steel metal mesh base and lid. Lids are attached to the trays with assembled hardware. The sterilization trays are constructed from mesh material to allow for permeation of sterilant during sterilization. The mesh basket design has a higher percentage of open cells than metal mesh allowing for complete permeation. The trays have latches designed to fasten the lid onto the base. Other tray components include silicone instrument holders to secure instruments and provide protection of the medical devices in the sterilization tray.

No
The device description and performance studies focus solely on the physical properties and sterilization efficacy of metal sterilization trays, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is a sterilization tray intended to encase and protect reusable medical devices for sterilization, not to treat any medical condition or disease.

No

This device is a sterilization tray intended to encase and protect reusable medical devices during steam sterilization. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical sterilization tray made of stainless steel mesh with a lid and silicone instrument holders. It is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the trays are for "encasing and protecting specific KARL STORZ reusable medical devices for sterilization." This is a function related to the preparation and maintenance of medical devices, not for performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical characteristics of the trays (metal mesh, latches, silicone holders) and their purpose in facilitating steam sterilization. There is no mention of reagents, samples, or any components typically associated with in vitro diagnostic testing.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on sterilization efficacy, dry time, and cleaning effectiveness. These are relevant to the sterilization process of medical devices, not to the performance of a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

In summary, the KARL STORZ Metal Sterilization Trays are accessories used in the sterilization process of reusable medical devices. They do not perform any diagnostic function on biological samples, which is the defining characteristic of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Description:

The KARL STORZ-ENDOSCOPE Metal Sterilization Trays are intended only for use to encase various KARL STORZ reusable medical devices for sterilization in steam cycles. The sterilization trays are not intended to maintain sterility by themselves. Prior to sterilization. the trays must be double-wrapped with an appropriate FDA-cleared sterilization wrap to provide a microbial barrier which allows sterilant to permeate throughout the interior of the loaded tray.

The tray configurations are all baskets, available in various sizes, which are designed to encase KARL STORZ medical devices, such as light cables, instruments, rigid telescopes, semi-rigid telescopes, etc. All systems consist of a stainless steel metal mesh base and lid. Lids are attached to the trays with assembled hardware.

The sterilization trays are constructed from mesh material to allow for permeation of sterilant during sterilization. The mesh basket design has a higher percentage of open cells than metal mesh allowing for complete permeation. The trays have latches designed to fasten the lid onto the base.

510(k) Premarket Notification KARL STORZ Sterilization Travs- Metal

Intended Use:

The KARL STORZ Metal Sterilization Trays are intended to protect medical device instrumentation and facilitate the sterilization process by sterilant penetration and air removal. When used in conjunction with an FDA cleared sterilization wrap, sterility of the enclosed medical device is maintained until used.

KARL STORZ has validated the KARL STORZ Metal Sterilization Trays for use in steam sterilizers. Most of the metal sterilization trays are used with rigid telescopes, instruments and cables that do not have lumens. The system was validated with a miniature scope with an irrigation channel lumen diameter of 0.2mm and a length of 240mm.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics:

The KARL STORZ Metal Sterilization Trays are comparable to Symmetry Medical Polyvac Surgical Instrument Delivery System (K012105). The Symmetry Medical system also includes plastic and hybrid trays however only the Symmetry Medical metal tray are considered as a predicate.

Steam enters the KARL STORZ metal sterilization trays through mesh openings in the tray base and lid. After sterilization, sterility is maintained by the FDA cleared sterilization wrap. All of these characteristics are the same as the predicate device.

The devices and the predicate have essentially the same indications for use and perform in a similar manner.
