The enspire™ 3000 Series Cleaning and Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing System is intended to effectively provide a pressure monitor, clean, provide liquid chemical sterilization, rinse, and air purge validated immersible, semicritical, heat sensitive medical devices such as flexible endoscopes and their accessories.
The validated cleaning process replaces cleaning for endoscopes other than duodenoscopes. Manual cleaning of duodenoscopes according to the manufacturer's written instructions for use is required prior to placement in the enspire™ 3000 Series Processor.
The enspire™ 3000 Series Processor uses only Revital-Ox 2X Concentrate Enzymatic detergent to clean and S40 Sterilant Concentrate to liquid chemically sterilize medically dilutes the S40 Sterilant Concentrate to its use dilution (> 1820 mg/L peracetic acid), liquid chemically sterilizes the load during a controlled 6-minute exposure at 46.6 to 55°C and rinses the load with 0.2-micron filtered water.
The enspire 3000 Cleaning and Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing System (CLCSPS) is a medical device processing system used for cleaning and liquid chemically sterilizing immersible, reusable, semi-critical, heat-sensitive devices such as flexible endoscopes and their accessories. The system consists of the enspire 3000 Processor, Revital-Ox 2X Concentrate Enzymatic Detergent, S40 Sterilant Concentrate and Max Flow Connectors.
The enspire 3000 Cleaning and LCSPS is an automated, self-contained device for the effective cleaning and liquid chemical sterilization of semi-critical medical devices and their accessories. The devices will not require manual cleaning prior to processing in the enspire 3000 Processor with the exception of duodenoscopes which must be manually cleaned per the manufacturer's instructions for use. In addition, prior to placement in the enspire 3000 processor, the device will undergo a manual leak test and the user will ensure the lumens are not blocked. If the device has internal channels or lumens, Max Flow Connectors are used to facilitate the delivery of detergent, sterilant use-solution and rinse water to internal channels. Once the device is positioned in the enspire 3000 processor, the unit will create and maintain the conditions necessary for effective cleaning and liquid chemical sterilization of the load. At the beginning of the processing cycle, automated pressure monitoring is performed to assess the integrity of the flexible endoscope throughout the process. The enspire 3000 processor maintains inflation of the processed device to reduce the risk of ingress of fluid during processing and the pressure monitoring is repeated at the end of the processing cycle. At the end of the processing cycle, the cleaned and liquid chemically sterilized devices are rinsed with 0.2 micron filtered potable water followed by a HEPA-filtered air purge to aid in drying the endoscope. The processor, which is computer controlled and continually monitored, provides documentation of each cycle.
The enspire 3000 processor utilizes Revital-Ox 2X Concentrate Enzymatic Detergent for cleaning and S40 Sterilant Concentrate for liquid chemical sterilization. S40 Sterilant Concentrate is a single use chemical sterilant concentrate; its active ingredient, peracetic acid, is combined with inert ingredients (builders) to form a use dilution which inhibits corrosion of metals, polymers and other materials.

§ 876.1500 Endoscope and accessories.
(a)
Identification. An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.(b)
Classification —(1)Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I for the photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
