Aeration time of 8 hours at 60℃ (140°F). - The recommended hydrogen peroxide vapor sterilization cycle is : - · Standard Cycle of STERRAD® 100S - Standard cycle and Advanced cycle of STERRAD® NX - · Standard cycle, Flex cycle and Express cycle of STERRAD® 100NX - · Non Lumen Cycle, Lumen Cycle and Flexible Cycle of V-PRO® maX The steam and EO device are not intended and has not been validated for sterilization of devices that contain lumens. The hydrogen peroxide device has been validated for devices that contain a lumen listed below: - Standard Cycle of STERRAD® 100S - inside diameter ≥ 1 mm and length ≤ 125 mm - inside diameter ≥ 2 mm and length ≤ 250 mm - Standard cycle of STERRAD® NX - · Single channel stainless steel lumens with: - Inside diameter ≥ 1 mm and length ≤ 150 mm - Inside diameter ≥ 2 mm and length ≤ 400 mm - · Single channel PE/PTFE tubing with: - Inside diameter ≥ 1 mm and length ≤ 350 mm - Advanced cycle of STERRAD® NX - · Single channel stainless steel lumens with: - Inside diameter ≥ 1 mm and length ≤ 500 mm - · Single PTFE lumen tubing with: - Inside diameter ≥ 1 mm and length ≤ 1000 mm - · Single channel PE/PTFE flexible endoscopes with: - Inside diameter ≥ 1 mm and length ≤ 850 mm - Standard cycle of STERRAD® 100NX - · Single channel stainless steel lumens with: - Inside diameter ≥ 0.7 mm and length ≤ 500 mm - Single channel PE/PTFE instruments with: - Inside diameter ≥ 1 mm and length ≤ 1000 mm - Flex cycle of STERRAD® 100NX - Single channel PE/PTFE flexible endoscope with: - Inside diameter ≥ 1 mm and length ≤ 850 mm - Lumen Cycle of V-PRO® maX △ Lumened and non-luments with diffusion-restricted spaces such as the hinged portion of forceps and scissors. △ Medical devices, including single, dual and triple channeled rigid endoscopes, with the following configurations: - Single channeled devices with a stainless lumen that is > 0.77mm internal diameter (ID) and < 500mm in length - Dual channeled devices with stainless steel lumens that are ≥ 0.77mm ID and ≤ 527mm in length - · Triple channeled devices with stainless steel lumens that are - ≥1.2 mm ID and ≤ 275 mm in length - ≥1.8 mm ID and ≤ 310 mm in length - Or - ≥2.8 mm ID and ≤ 317 mm in length - Flexible Cycle of V-PRO® maX △ Two flexible endoscopes with a light cord (if not integral to the endoscope) and mat with no additional load. The flexible endoscopes may contain either: - · A single lumen that is ≥ 1 mm ID and ≤ 1050 mm in length - · Or two lumens with: - One lumen that is ≥ 1 mm ID and ≤ 990 mm in length - And the other lumen that is ≥ 1 mm ID and ≤ 850 mm in length - △ One flexible endoscope with a light cord (if not integral to endoscope) and mat and additional non-lumened instruments including instruments with diffusion-restricted areas such as the hinged portion of forceps or scissors. The flexible endoscopes my contain either: ● A single lumen that is ≥ 1 mm ID and ≤ 1050 mm in length - Or two lumens with: - One lumen that is ≥ 1 mm ID and ≤ 990 mm in length - And the other lumen that is ≥ 1 mm ID and ≤ 850 mm in length The external chemical indicators on the pouches/rolls are intended to demonstrate that the device has been exposed to the steam, EO, or hydrogen peroxide sterilization process and to distinguish between processed devices. The chemical indicators change from green to purple or from Pink to Cocoa after exposure to steam, from yellow to brown or from Blue to Brown after exposure to ethylene oxide, and from blue to pink for hydrogen peroxide. The paper version of the pouch is for Steam and EO. The Tyvek version of the pouch is for hydrogen peroxide sterilization only. If stored according to the recommended conditions, the products before sterilization have a maximum shelf life of 5 years(for paper pouch) and 2 years(for Tyvek pouch) from the date of manufacture. The pouches are intended to allow sterilization of the enclosed medical device(s) and also to maintain sterility (SAL=10-6). The subject device is intended and has been validated to maintain sterility of the enclosed devices for 12 months after steam sterilization and 24 months after EO sterilization(for paper pouch), and, 2 years after hydrogen peroxide sterilization (for Tyvek Pouch). The maximum validated pouch load is 2.64 pounds (1.2kg).

The device is made from porous material printed chemical indicator thermally sealed to a plastic film, additionally Self-Seal has medical double side tape. They are divided according to porous material to paper pouch and Tyvek pouch. Paper Pouch are constructed from uncoated medical paper and plastic film; it can be used with steam and EO sterilization. Tyvek Pouch are constructed from an uncoated Tyvek and plastic film, , it can be used with hydrogen peroxide sterilization. The device is preformed sterile barrier systems, sealed 2 sides (roll for left and right) or 3 sides(pouch for left, right and top). The remaining edges can be Heat-Sealed or Self-Sealed to form a sealing system. The Self-Seal pouch permits sealing of the pouch without Heat-Sealing equipment, whereas the Heat-Sealable pouches must be Heat-Sealed prior to the cycle. The pouches and rolls are used to enclose medical devices that are to be sterilized by a healthcare provider following manufacturer's instructions. The medical devices are inserted into Pouches or rolls and sealed. The devices contain chemical process indicator intended to demonstrate that the device has been exposed to the steam, EO and vapor hydrogen peroxide Sterilization.
