Intended Use

The SteriTite universal container system with MediTray products is a reusable sterilization container system intended to be used to enclose other medical devices (blades and lumens), which are to be sterilized, transported and stored by a health care provider. The SteriTite container system is intended for use in STERRAD 200. STERRAD NX and Ozone 125L sterilizers, as well as the sealed containers are intended for pre-vacuum steam flash sterilization (270°F for 4 minutes). The SteriTite perforated bottom container with disposable polypropylene filters (Polypro) must be used for STERRAD Sterilization. The paper filter is recommended for prevacuum steam flash sterilization. For ozone sterilization, either disposable naper or polypropylene filters can be used.

Device Story

Rigid, reusable sterilization container system; anodized aluminum base, passivated stainless steel hardware, silicone gaskets. Includes perforated or solid bases, lids, filter retention plates, and internal instrument trays/baskets (MediTray). Used in operating rooms/sterile processing; operated by healthcare staff. Devices placed inside; container sealed with disposable filters (polypropylene or paper) and tamper-evident locks. Protects instruments during sterilization, transport, and storage. Validated for specific lumen sizes and weights in STERRAD, Ozone, and steam flash cycles. Ensures sterility maintenance via bacterial barrier filtration.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Validation performed using the "overkill method" of sterility assurance. Microbial challenge testing utilized biological indicators and inoculated products in worst-case locations (lumens, opposing corners, under occlusion). Validated for maximum loads (22 lbs for STERRAD, 35 lbs for steam/ozone) and specific lumen dimensions (diameters 1-3mm, lengths 400-850mm) across multiple sterilization cycles in independent laboratories per AAMI standards.

Technological Characteristics

Rigid container system; anodized aluminum body; passivated stainless steel hardware; silicone gaskets. Disposable filter-based bacterial barrier (polypropylene or paper). Vent holes offset to prevent strike-through. Modular design with interchangeable lids/bases. Compatible with STERRAD 200, STERRAD NX, Ozone 125L, and pre-vacuum steam flash sterilization. Complies with ANSI/AAMI ST 77:2006 and ST 79:2006.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by healthcare providers to enclose, sterilize, transport, and store medical devices, including full instrument sets and mixed loads (blades and lumens). Compatible with STERRAD 200, STERRAD NX, Ozone 125L, and pre-vacuum steam flash sterilization. Specific lumen diameter and length constraints apply based on the sterilization cycle.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A sterilization wrap (pack, sterilization wrapper, bag, or accessories, is a device intended to be used to enclose another medical device that is to be sterilized by a health care provider. It is intended to allow sterilization of the enclosed medical device and also to maintain sterility of the enclosed device until used.

| Trade Name: | SteriTite® universal container system |
|------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| Common Name: | Sterilization container with disposable filter, |
| Establishment registration number: | 2248608 |
| Classification name: | Sterilization Wrap |
| Class of Device: | Class II device, |
| Product Code: | 80FRG |
| Review Panel: | General Hospital |

#### Indications for Use:

The SteriTite universal container system with MediTray products is a reusable sterilization container system intended to be used to enclose other medical devices (blades and lumens), which are to be sterilized, transported and stored by a health care provider.

The SteriTite container system is intended for use in STERRAD 200. STERRAD NX and Ozone 125L sterilizers, as well as the sealed containers are intended for pre-vacuum steam flash sterilization (270°F for 4 minutes).

The SteriTite perforated bottom container with disposable polypropylene filters (Polypro) must be used for STERRAD Sterilization. The paper filter is recommended for prevacuum steam flash sterilization. For ozone sterilization, either disposable naper or polypropylene filters can be used.

#### Description of the Device:

The SteriTite universal container system consists of a family of rigid reusable containers and inserts that provide an effective sterilization packaging method for operating room instruments. The SteriTite® container has both solid and perforated base containers. The container is made out of anodized aluminum with passivated stainless steel hardware and

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

silicone gaskets. A stainless steel latching mechanism with handles on both ends secures the lid to the base and provide a method to incorporate tamper proof disposable locks. Each filter retention plate secures a disposable filter for bacterial barrier filtration. Various instrument trays as well as stacked baskets and inserts provide instrument protection and secure devices for sterilization within the container. The lids and bases as well as retention plates of the same model and size are compatible and interchangeable throughout its useful life. Vent holes are offset to prevent strike through. All components may be easily disassembled for cleaning.

#### Performance Data

Case Medical, Inc. follows the "overkill method" of sterility assurance to show an elimination of a biological challenge. Microbial challenge testing included placement of biological indicators and inoculated products in the most difficult-to-sterilize areas of the container in opposing corners, under the lid, inside of lumens, within insert boxes, and under occlusion within the slot of an instrument bracket securing a surgical instrument. The lumens tested are as follows:

| Sterilization Method | Max Diameter Lumen | Max Length Lumen | Material |
|--------------------------------------------------|--------------------|------------------|------------------------------------------------|
| STERRAD 200 Sterilization | 3 mm | 400 mm | Stainless Steel Blades, Lumens and Mixed Loads |
| STERRAD NX Standard cycle | 2 mm | 400 mm | Stainless Steel Blades, Lumens and Mixed Loads |
| STERRAD NX Advance cycle | 1 mm | 500 mm | Stainless Steel Blades, Lumens and Mixed Loads |
| | 1 mm | 850 mm | Porous Lumens (Flexible endoscope) |
| Pre-Vacuum Flash with paper filter Sterilization | 2 mm | 400 mm | Stainless Steel Blades, Lumens and Mixed Loads |
| | 3 mm | 400 mm | Porous Lumens |
| Ozone 125L Sterilization | 3 mm | 470 mm | Stainless Steel Blades, Lumens and Mixed Loads |

All containers were tested with inner baskets or trays representative of the MediTrav line of products.

Furthermore, sample containers were validated in worst-case scenarios. In STERRAD NX and STERRAD 200 Sterilization the maximum load was 22lbs. (STU 10 kg) including the container. In Pre-Vacuum Steam Sterilization and Ozone 125L Sterilization, the maximum load was 35lbs. (15.8 kg.) total weight. The test samples represented a worst-case scenario in the SteriTite line of product based on number of holcs (vents) per contamer volume. Internal stacking of trays and utilization of components was also validated under fractional and half

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

cycle conditions. Validation testing utilizing replicate cycles was conducted in independent laboratories in accordance with available AAMI standards.

#### Substantial Equivalence:

Case Medical's SteriTite container system is substantially equivalent to the company's previously device as well as Aesculap's Sterilcontainer in STERRAD 100s and Ozone 125L, as well as Aesculap's Sterilcontainer and One Tray for prevacuum steam sterilization. The SteriTite container system is the same container previously cleared. However, the STERRAD compatible Aesculap Sterilcontainer is made out of non-anodized aluminum and is thus a different Aesculap Sterilcontainer than that used for steam sterilization. All containers are of equivalent sizes, have gasketed lids that latch, and offer tamper evident features.
