The provided document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing System. The submission is to describe a modification for the obsolescence of the support material in the pre-filters. The device is a "SYSTEM 1E Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing System" (P6500), and "SYSTEM 1 endo Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing System" (P6800, P6900).
The acceptance criteria and study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria are as follows:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
| Test | Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance (Result) |
|---|---|---|
| Performance testing with replacement pre-filters | The modification does not affect the performance of the device. | Pass |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
The document states "new testing was performed to evaluate the modified device". However, it does not specify the sample size used for the performance testing with replacement pre-filters nor the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective).
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
This information is not provided in the document. The performance testing is described for a chemical sterilant system, not an AI/diagnostic imaging device that would typically involve expert ground truth establishment.
4. Adjudication method for the test set:
This information is not applicable to the type of device and testing described. The "Pass" result indicates that the device met the pre-defined performance criteria without the need for human adjudication in the context of this specific regulatory submission.
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, and the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
This information is not applicable. The device is a liquid chemical sterilant processing system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic imaging device.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
This information is not applicable. The device is a liquid chemical sterilant processing system, not an AI/algorithm-based device. The "Performance testing with replacement pre-filters" is a standalone test of the device's physical components.
7. The type of ground truth used:
For the performance testing of the replacement pre-filters, the "ground truth" would be the measured performance of the device against established functional and safety specifications. This is inherent in the "Performance testing" result and implies that either design specifications or predefined performance metrics (e.g., filtration efficiency, fluid flow, sterilant concentration maintenance, temperature control) were met. The document indicates that the modification "does not affect the performance of the device," implying a comparison to the performance of the original device.
For the predicate device, the provided tables (Table 1 and Table 2 details the performance of the S40 Sterilant Concentrate) describe various efficacy tests and the organisms used, which serve as the "ground truth" for germicidal claims:
- Sporicidal Activity: Bacillus subtilis, Clostridium sporogenes (in vitro)
- Fungicidal Activity: Trichophyton mentagrophytes (in vitro)
- Bactericidal Activity: Salmonella choleraesuis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (in vitro)
- Viricidal Activity: Herpes simplex Type 1, Adenovirus Type 5, Poliovirus Type 1 (in vitro)
- Tuberculocidal Activity: Mycobacterium terrae (in vitro)
- Simulated-Use Test: Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores in a manual application (result: >= 6 log reduction)
- Clinical In-Use: No surviving microorganisms on representative medical devices tested.
8. The sample size for the training set:
This information is not applicable for this device, as it is not an AI/machine learning device that would require a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
This information is not applicable for this device.

SYSTEM 1endo Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing System, Model P6800, K222615
3. Description of Device
The SYSTEM 1 endo Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing System is a liquid chemical sterilization system, utilizing peracetic acid to process totally immersible semi-critical medical devices and their accessories. The system consists of the SYSTEM 1 endo Processor and S40 Sterilant Concentrate, interchangeable Processing Trays/Containers, and Quick Connects. The current submission is provided to describe a modifications for the obsolescence of the support material in the pre-filters.
The SYSTEM 1 endo Processor is an automated, self-contained device that uses S40 Sterilant Concentrate to create and maintain the conditions necessary for liquid chemical sterilization in 6 minutes. Following processing, the liquid chemically sterilized articles are rinsed with 0.2 micron filtered potable water and are ready for use or may be prepared for storage. The processor, which is computer controlled and continually monitored, provides printed documentation of each cycle.
The SYSTEM 1 endo Processor uses only S40 Sterilant Concentrate. Upon loading the single-use cup, the active ingredient in S40 - peracetic acid - is combined with inert ingredients (builders) to form a use dilution which inhibits corrosion of metals, polymers and other materials.
The interchangeable processing trays/containers are made to accommodate a variety of semi-critical instrument types and models. Each container is designed to maintain instruments in position while specific SYSTEM 1 endo Ouick Connects, if required, facilitate delivery of the sterilant use-solution and rinse water to internal channels. Table 1 compares the proposed and predicate devices.

2. Predicate Device
SYSTEM 1 endo Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing System, Model P6900, K222615
3. Description of Device
The SYSTEM 1 endo Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing System. Model P6900 is a liguid chemical sterilization system, utilizing peracetic acid to process totally immersible semicritical heat-sensitive medical devices and their accessories. The system consists of the SYSTEM 1 endo Processor and S40 Sterilant Concentrate, interchangeable Processing Trays/Containers, and Quick Connects. The current submission is provided to describe a modifications for the obsolescence of the support material in the pre-filters.
The SYSTEM 1 endo Processor is an automated, self-contained device that uses S40 Sterilant Concentrate to create and maintain the conditions necessary for liquid chemical sterilization in 6 minutes. After LCS processing, the liquid chemically sterilized articles are rinsed with 0.2 micron filtered potable water and are ready for use or may be prepared for storage.
The SYSTEM 1 endo Processor uses only S40 Sterilant Concentrate. Upon loading the single-use cup, the active ingredient in S40 - peracetic acid - is combined with inert ingredients (builders) to form a use dilution which inhibits corrosion of metals, polymers and other materials.
The interchangeable processing trays/containers are made to accommodate a variety of semi-critical instrument types and models. Each container is designed to maintain instruments in position while specific SYSTEM 1 endo Quick Connects, if required, facilitate delivery of the sterilant use-solution and rinse water to internal channels. Tables 1 and 2 compare the proposed and predicate devices.
{29}------------------------------------------------
4. Indications for Use
The SYSTEM 1 endo Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing System is intended for liquid chemical sterilization of cleaned, immersible, and reusable semi-critical heatsensitive medical devices and their accessories in healthcare facilities.
The SYSTEM 1 endo Processor automatically 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 45.5 to 60°C and rinses the load with 0.2 micron filtered water.
The SYSTEM 1 endo Processor uses only S40 Sterilant Concentrate to liquid chemically sterilize medical devices.
