## Device Story

Tristel Duo ULT is a point-of-care high-level disinfectant foam for ultrasound probes. The system consists of two precursor solutions (Base and Activator) housed in a dual-chamber dispenser; depressing the pump mixes the solutions to generate chlorine dioxide in situ. A mesher in the pump head converts the liquid into a ready-to-use foam. Healthcare personnel apply the foam to probes using single-use, non-woven Duo Wipes. The process requires a 2-minute contact time at room temperature. The device includes semi-quantitative Duo Test Strips to verify the Minimum Recommended Concentration (MRC) of ~280ppm. Used in procedure rooms, exam rooms, or central processing units, the device eliminates the need for transport to automated reprocessing equipment, potentially increasing throughput. Clinical benefit includes rapid, effective disinfection of semi-critical devices, reducing infection risk when used according to validated protocols.

## Clinical Evidence

Non-clinical performance testing required, including storage and transport stability, potency testing (sporicidal, mycobactericidal, fungicidal, bactericidal, virucidal), simulated use testing (demonstrating 10^6 kill of resistant mycobacteria), in-use testing on clinically-relevant microorganisms, and material compatibility. Biocompatibility evaluation and human factors testing required.

## Technological Characteristics

Foam-based chemical high-level disinfectant. Includes foam delivery bottle and applicator wipes. Features chemical indicator (Duo Test Strips) for MRC verification. Requires specific contact time (2 minutes) and temperature (room temperature).

## Regulatory Identification

## DEVICE DESCRIPTION

Tristel Duo ULT is a high level disinfectant foam intended to disinfect cleaned, reusable, nonlumened ultrasound probes. Tristel Duo ULT is intended to be used by qualified healthcare personnel. Tristel Duo ULT does not sterilize.

Tristel Duo ULT generates chlorine dioxide foam from two "precursor" solutions (Base Solution and Activator Solution), which are packaged separately within two individual containers and secured together within a single dispenser apparatus known as the "pump" shown in Figure 2. When depressed, the pump dispenses these solutions at equal volumes.

Image /page/1/Figure/11 description: The image shows two bottles connected at the top. The bottle on the left is labeled "Duo Activator", and the bottle on the right is labeled "Duo Base". Both bottles appear to be empty and have a pump mechanism at the top.

Figure 2 - Schematic Representation of Duo Bottle

{2}------------------------------------------------

The components of the Base and Activator solutions chemically react. This reaction generates chlorine dioxide in liquid solution, which is the active germicidal ingredient. A mesher present in the applicator pump causes the formulation to be dispensed as a ready-to-use foam.

The active ingredient in Tristel Duo ULT high level disinfectant is chlorine dioxide, which is generated in situ from the Activator and Base solutions. Tristel Duo ULT also contains other (D) CI (b) 49 ingredients, such as sodium chlorite, citric acid monohydrate. (0) 49)

#### BENEFIT-RISK DETERMINATION

#### Benefit

The current paradigm for high level disinfectants is that they support, through testing, that the high level disinfectants will allow for the semi-critical devices to be high level disinfected to at least 6-log reduction of a mixed suspension of vegetative organisms and 6-log reduction of an appropriate mycobacteria. From an end user perspective. this may decrease reprocessing time, as this is a point of care product and does not require transport to a reprocessing room. The subject high level disinfectant, a chlorine dioxide based foam with two-minute contact time, is intended to be used at the point of care without the need for equipment or installation. With appropriate testing and controls in place, the probable benefit of this feature is that it will provide a new option to healthcare providers for high level disinfection of ultrasound devices. Proper use of this device is also likely to improve the time taken to reprocess ultrasound devices between patients and enable healthcare providers to serve more patients. These probable benefits were supported through non-clinical performance testing including potency testing, simulated-use, and in-use testing.

## Risk

The identified risks have been mitigated with appropriate performance testing (for risks of inadequate potency), biocompatibility testing (for risks of solution/residue toxicity to healthcare provider/patient), as well as addressing human factors and the risk related to active ingredient concentration measurement.

{9}------------------------------------------------

## Patient Perspectives

This submission did not include specific information on patient perspectives for this device.

## Benefit/Risk Conclusion

Based on the performance testing provided (in particular potency test, simulated-use test, in-use test, stability / shelf life test, biocompatibility test, human factor study, compatibility test, reliability test, and labeling, chemical indicator validation), the sponsor has adequately supported that the subject device is a high level disinfectant foam for manually reprocessing ultrasound probes. This feature will provide a new option for high level disinfection of ultrasound probes and is likely to improve the time needed to reprocess ultrasound probes between patients. This testing has also mitigated the probable risk of inadequate potency and the subsequent risk of infection resulting from exposure to inadequately disinfected ultrasound probes. Biocompatibility testing has mitigated the risk of adverse tissue reaction. Chemical indicator validation testing and labeling have mitigated the risk of using high level disinfectant at a concentration lower than MEC/MRC.

In conclusion, given the testing provided above, for the following indication statement:

Tristel Duo ULT is a high level disinfect foam for reprocessing ultrasound probes. It can be used to high level disinfect endocavity transvaginal and transrectal probes, and skin surface transducers that may contact non-intact skin during use.
