Intended Use

The TSO3 Model 125L is an Ozone Sterilizer intended for use in the sterilization processing of reusable medical devices in health care facilities. The TSO3 Ozone Sterilizer, Movol 1252. is designed for sterilization of both metal and non-metal medical devices at low temperatires. The sterilization cycle operates at very low pressure and low temperature, consequently it is suitable for processing medical devices sensitive to heat and moisture. The TSO3 Ozone Sterilizer, Model 125L, is designed to sterilize instruments and devices with diffusion-restricted spaces, such as the hinged portion of forceps and sciators.

Device Story

TSO3 Ozone Sterilizer Model 125L is a low-temperature, low-pressure sterilization system for pre-cleaned reusable medical devices. Device requires USP grade oxygen, water, and electricity; operates as a standalone or recessed unit. Sterilization process uses ozone; by-products are oxygen and low-humidity water vapor. No aeration required post-cycle; items are cool to touch and ready for immediate use or storage. Compatible with non-woven wraps, pouches, and anodized aluminum containers. Factory-programmed control system manages cycle. Healthcare providers use OZO-TEST biological indicators and chemical indicators to verify performance. Benefits include safe processing of heat/moisture-sensitive instruments and diffusion-restricted spaces like hinges.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Validation performed using the 'overkill' approach to demonstrate effectiveness for extended lumen claims. Testing conducted using half-cycles to achieve a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10^-6 for stainless steel lumens ranging from 0.9mm to 4mm internal diameter and 485mm to 700mm in length.

Technological Characteristics

125-liter sterilization chamber; ozone-based sterilization; low-temperature/low-pressure process. Compatible with non-woven wraps, pouches, and anodized aluminum containers. Requires USP grade oxygen, water, and electricity. Factory-programmed control system. No exhaust gas ventilation required if room is adequately ventilated.

Indications for Use

Indicated for sterilization of reusable metal and non-metal medical devices, including those with diffusion-restricted spaces (e.g., hinged forceps, scissors) and heat/moisture-sensitive instruments, in healthcare facilities.

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.

## Description of Device

TSO3 Ozone Sterilizer, model 125L is intended to sterilize medical devices that has been previously cleaned.

The sterilization chamber has a capacity of 125 liters (4.3 cu. ft.).

It requires USP grade oxygen, water and electricity. Model 125L could be installed as a free standing unit or recessed behind the wall. No exhaust gas ventilation duct is required as long as the room is adequately ventilated. By-products are oxygen and low humidity water vapor.

Model 125L is equipped with a unique factory-programmed control system.

Non-woven wrapping material or pouches and anodized aluminum containers are used as packaging for medical devices to be sterilized.

OZO-TEST® self-contained Biological Indicators (B. stearothermophilus) are recommended for use in evaluating cycle performance.

TSO3 Chemical Indicators are available for this process.

No aeration is needed following the sterilization cycle. The sterilized items are cool to the touch and can be removed immediately and used, or stored for future use.

# Effectiveness

Model 125L validation testing for extended lumen claims was performed using the « overkill » approach to demonstrate the effectiveness of the process.

## Safety

Safety of the TSO3 Ozone Sterilizer, model 125L was demonstrated into the original 510(k) submission (K020875). The content of the actual submittal does not compromise the safety of the device.
