## Indications for Use

The Olympic Pasteurmatic 3000 and Olympic Pasteurmatic 3500 are intended for cleaning and high-level disinfection of respiratory therapy and anesthesia equipment by killing vegetative bacteria and viruses, in a hot water bath at ~160° -~170° F for 30 minutes.

## Device Story

The Olympic Pasteurmatic 3000 and 3500 are medical washer-disinfectors for respiratory therapy and anesthesia equipment. The device uses a stainless steel tank and rotating baskets to immerse parts in 160° - 170° F water for 30 minutes. The rotation forces water through tubes to displace air bubbles, ensuring contact for high-level disinfection. The 3000 model features 9,000 watts of heating capacity, while the 3500 features 15,000 watts for faster heating. The system is operated by clinical staff in healthcare settings. It replaces electromechanical controls from the predicate with a digital user interface. The device benefits patients by providing high-level disinfection of reusable equipment, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance testing was conducted to demonstrate that the Pasteurmatic 3000 and 3500 meet or exceed the performance of the predicate device.

## Technological Characteristics

Medical washer-disinfector; stainless steel tank and rotating basket construction; heating elements (9,000W for 3000 model, 15,000W for 3500 model); digital user interface; hot water immersion (160° - 170° F) disinfection principle.

## Regulatory Identification

A medical washer-disinfector is a device that is intended for general medical purposes to clean, decontaminate, disinfect, and dry surgical instruments, anesthesia equipment, hollowware, and other medical devices.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Medical Washers and Medical Washer-Disinfectors.”(1) Medical washer-disinfectors that are intended to clean, high level disinfect, and dry surgical instruments, anesthesia equipment, hollowware, and other medical devices.
(2) Medical washer-disinfectors that are intended to clean, low or intermediate level disinfect, and dry surgical instruments, anesthesia equipment, hollowware, and other medical devices are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 880.9.

#### 1.1.4 Predicate Device

Olympic Pasteurmatic System (K953645).

# Device Description 1.1.5

The Olympic Pasteurmatic 3000 and Olympic Pasteurmatic 3500 are used for the cleaning and high-level disinfection of reusable and disposable breathing circuit parts used in Respiratory Therapy and Anesthesia. Pasteurization kills pathogenic vegetative bacteria and viruses by immersion in water at 160° - 170° F for 30 minutes. Full immersion pasteurization has been identified by the Centers for Disease Control as suitable for high-level disinfection of all parts not used subcutaneously.

The Olympic Pasteurmatic 3000 and Olympic Pasteurmatic 3500 are identical systems with the exception of the heater capacity. The Pasteurmatic 3000 has three 3,000 watt heaters for a system capacity of 9,000 watts. The Pasteurmatic 3500 has three 5,000 watt heaters for a system capacity of 15,000

{1}------------------------------------------------

watts to allow more rapid heating of the water during the pasteurization cycle when used as a combined washerpasteurizer.

Both systems rotate stainless steel baskets of tubes and parts vertically in a stainless steel tank during both washing and pasteurizing. This forces water through the full length of the tubes and drives out all the air bubbles.

# 1.1.6 Intended Use

The Olympic Pasteurmatic 3000 and Olympic Pasteurmatic 3500 are intended for cleaning and high-level disinfection of respiratory therapy and anesthesia equipment by killing vegetative bacteria and viruses, in a hot water bath at ~160° -~170° F for 30 minutes.

## Comparison to Predicate Device 1.1.7

The Pasteurmatic 3000 and Pasteurmatic 3500 perform all the functions of the Olympic Pasteurmatic system using a digital user interface in place of the electromechanical timer and controls used in the predicate device. Additional convenience features have been added to the Pasteurmatic 3000 and Pasteurmatic 3500.

# 1.1.8 Summary of Comparison Tests

Tests were performed to demonstrate that the performance of the Pasteurmatic 3000 and Pasteurmatic 3500 meet or exceed that of the predicate device.

Dear Mr. Hesler:

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 (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. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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.
