Indications for Use

The STERRAD® 200 Sterilizer is designed for sterilization of both metal and nonmetal medical devices at low temperatures. Because the cvcle operates within a dry environment and at low temperatures, it is especially suitable for instruments sensitive to heat and moisture. The STERRAD® 200 Sterilize can sterilize instruments which have diffusion-restricted spaces, such as the hinged portion of forceps and scissors. Medical devices with only a single stainless steel lumen with the following dimensions can be processed in the STERRAD® 200 Sterilizer. - An inside diameter of 1 mm or larger and a length of 125 mm or shorter* ● - An inside diameter of 2 mm or larger and a length of 250 mm or shorter* ● - An inside diameter of 3 mm or larger and a length of 400 mm or shorter . Teflon® and polyethylene lumen instruments with inside diameters of 6 mm or larger and lengths of 310 mm or shorter can be processed in the STERRAD® 200 Sterilizer. *The validation testing for this lumen size was conducted using a maximum of 12 lumens per load. Hospital loads should not exceed the maximum number of lumens validated by this testing. Note: The validation studies for this sterilizer were performed using the STERRAD cycle consisting of a 6-minute 45-second injection phase followed by a 2-minute diffusion phase and a 2-minute plasma phase. The validation studies were performed using a validation load consisting of four instrument trays each weighing 9.12 lbs. (the total weight of the load was 36.48 lbs).

Device Story

STERRAD 200 Sterilizer is a stand-alone system for low-temperature sterilization of heat/moisture-sensitive medical instruments. Process: aqueous hydrogen peroxide injected into vaporizer; transformed into vapor; introduced into process chamber under negative pressure; converted to gas plasma via electrical energy. System includes sterilization chamber, carriage, disposable sterilant cassettes, and reusable trays. Operated in clinical settings to ensure instrument sterility. Hardware is identical to predicate STERRAD 100S. Benefits include effective sterilization of complex, diffusion-restricted devices without heat damage.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Validation studies utilized the "overkill" approach with B. stearothermophilus spores. Testing confirmed efficacy for various lumen sizes (1x125mm, 2x250mm, 3x400mm, 6x310mm), surface sterilization, mated surfaces, and pouched configurations. Additional testing included bacteriostasis/fungistasis, simulated use, toxicity, and chemical indicator functionality. All tests passed.

Technological Characteristics

Hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilization system. Operates under negative pressure with electrical energy for plasma generation. Hardware includes sterilization chamber, carriage, and disposable cassettes. Compatible with stainless steel, Teflon, and polyethylene materials. Stand-alone system.

Indications for Use

Indicated for sterilization of heat- and moisture-sensitive metal and nonmetal medical devices, including those with diffusion-restricted spaces (e.g., hinged instruments) and specific stainless steel, Teflon, or polyethylene lumens.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An ethylene gas sterilizer is a nonportable device intended for use by a health care provider that uses ethylene oxide (ETO) to sterilize medical products.

Teflon® and polyethylene lumen instruments with inside diameters of 6 mm or larger and lengths of 310 mm or shorter can be processed in the STERRAD® 200 Sterilizer.

*The validation testing for this lumen size was conducted using a maximum of 12 lumens per load. Hospital loads should not exceed the maximum number of lumens validated by this testing.

Note: The validation studies for this sterilizer were performed using the STERRAD cycle consisting of a 6-minute 45-second injection phase followed by a 2-minute diffusion phase and a 2-minute plasma phase.

#### 4.0 DESCRIPTION OF DEVICE

The STERRAD® 200 Sterilizer is a self-contained stand-alone system of hardware and software designed to sterilize medical instruments and devices, using a patented hydrogen peroxide gas plasma process. Hydrogen peroxide vapor is generated by injecting aqueous hydrogen peroxide into the vaporizer bowl where the solution is heated and transformed into a vapor, introducing the vapor into the process chamber under negative pressure and transforming the vapor into a gas plasma with electrical energy.

The equipment (hardware) for the STERRAD® 200 Sterilizer is the same as that of the predicate device, the STERRAD® 100S Sterilizer. (Note: The STERRAD® 200 Sterilizer is available in either a one-door or two-door model, depending on customer preference). The hardware consists of a sterilization chamber onto which is mounted a variety of instruments and components, housed in a covered frame. The system also uses accessories such as a movable carriage for transport of the cart, disposable sterilant cassettes, reusable instrument trays, printer paper and ink cartridges.
