Intended Use
The THINK Surgical TCAT® TKA Instrument Tray is intended to protect, organize and deliver to the surgical field TCAT® tools, instruments and accessories. The tray allows sterilization of TCAT® tools, instruments and maintains sterility of the enclosed devices until used. The tray is wrapped with an FDA-cleared sterilization wrap during the pre-vacuum autoclave sterilization process.
Device Description
The TCAT® TKA Instrument Tray is intended only for use with TSolution One® Total Knee Application instruments, tools and accessories. This tray is used to enclose and hold the instruments, tools and accessories in an organized manner during the sterilization process and subsequent storage and transportation to and from the surgical suite. The tray is designed to fit any standard autoclave and is constructed primarily of anodized aluminum. The tray is compatible with repeated steam sterilizations. The tray has perforations to facilitate sterilant penetration, evacuation and drying. Since the tray is perforated, an FDA-cleared sterilization wrap must be used to maintain sterility of the contents. The trav has the basic same size and a minor configuration change to the predicate device: a rectanqular base with a latchable lid and a lift out tray. The tray has perforations with an evenly distributed hole pattern on the lid, bottom, and sides to allow sterilant penetration. The bottom tray surface and lift out tray surface contain stanchions designed to separately hold each individual instrument, tool and accessory for effective sterilant exposure, sterilant evacuation and drying the entire duration of the sterilization process, as well as ease of locating each instrument when placing in or removal from the tray. The lift out tray contains a silicone mat which may used to sterilize additional THINK Surgical part.
