Intended Use
The Perpak™ Sterilization Tyvek Pouch is intended to provide health care workers with an effective method to enclose devices intended for sterilization in the LOWTEM Crystal 120 Sterilizer. The device is intended to allow sterilization of enclosed devices and also to maintain sterility of the enclosed devices until used up to 3 years post sterilization.
Device Description
The Perpak™ Sterilization Tyyek Pouch is intended to be used to contain medical devices to be terminally sterilized in the LOWTEM Crystal 120 Sterilization System.

More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a sterilization pouch and its physical performance characteristics, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is a sterilization pouch used to maintain the sterility of other medical devices, not to directly treat or diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device is a sterilization pouch used to enclose and maintain the sterility of other medical devices, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device is a physical pouch made of Tyvek and plastic film, intended for containing medical devices during sterilization and maintaining sterility. It is a hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided information, the Perpak™ Sterilization Tyvek Pouch is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to enclose devices for sterilization and maintain their sterility. This is a function related to the sterilization and storage of medical devices, not the diagnosis of diseases or conditions using samples from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces the role of containing and maintaining sterility of medical devices during and after sterilization.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

Therefore, the Perpak™ Sterilization Tyvek Pouch falls under the category of a medical device used in the sterilization process, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Priscilla Chung:

We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"

1

(https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30. Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90. Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review. the OS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.

All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rue"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advicecomprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

For comprehensive regulatory information about mediation-emitting products, including information about labeling regulations, please see Device Advice (https://www.fda.gov/medicaldevices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance) and CDRH Learn (https://www.fda.gov/training-and-continuing-education/cdrh-learn). Additionally, you may contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education (DICE) to ask a question about a specific regulatory topic. See the DICE website (https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-advice-comprehensive-regulatoryassistance/contact-us-division-industry-and-consumer-education-dice) for more information or contact DICE by email (DICE@fda.hhs.gov) or phone (1-800-638-2041 or 301-796-7100).

Technological Comparison Discussion

The subject device is the same as the predicate device in the intended use, design, and technological characteristics. The difference is that the subject device does not include chemical indicator as the sterilizer which is used with the subject device uses a 510k cleared chemical indicator. Another difference is that the material compositions and we performed various performance tests to support the subject device performance.

9. Conclusion

The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical tests demonstrate that the subject device in 510(k) submission K241123, the Perpak™ Sterilization Tyvek Pouch, is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate device cleared in K180672.
