KIMGUARD* Sterilization Wrap is intended to be used to enclose another medical device that is to be sterilized by a health care provider by pre-vacuum steam at 270°F/132°C for 4 minutes or by 100% ethylene oxide (EtO) with a concentration of 725-735 mg/L at 131°F/ 55°C and 40% - 80% relative humidity for 60 minutes. The wrap is intended to allow sterilization of the enclosed medical device(s) and also to maintain sterility of the enclosed device(s) until opened. The wrap was validated for aeration times for EtO sterilization of 8 hours at 55 °C or 12 hours at 43.3 °C. The wrap was validated for dry times for pre-vacuum steam sterilization of 20 minutes for Models 100, 200, and 300 and for dry times of 30 minutes for Models 400, 500, and 600. KIMGUARD* Sterilization Wrap is not indicated for use for gravity steam sterilization.
Device Story
KIMGUARD* Sterilization Wrap consists of square or rectangular sheets used by healthcare facilities to wrap medical instruments/trays prior to sterilization. The wrap acts as a barrier, allowing sterilant penetration (steam or EtO) while maintaining sterility of contents post-process. The device is a three-layer SMS (spunbond-meltblown-spunbond) polypropylene laminate. Healthcare personnel select the appropriate model (KC100-KC600) based on the weight and type of the load (ranging from 3 lbs to 25 lbs). The wrap is manually applied to enclose the device; the package is then subjected to a validated sterilization cycle. The wrap maintains the sterile state of the enclosed items until the package is opened for clinical use. Benefits include protection of sterile instruments from contamination during storage and transport.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing performed in accordance with FDA guidance for Medical Sterilization Packaging Systems. Evaluations included biocompatibility (irritation and sensitization per ISO 10993), sterilant penetration, dry time, and physical integrity. Sterility maintenance was validated for up to 30 days post-sterilization using various load weights (3 lbs to 25 lbs) and configurations (towels, drapes, metal masses). All results met acceptance criteria.
Technological Characteristics
Three-layer SMS (spunbond-meltblown-spunbond) polypropylene laminate. Dimensions vary by model (KC100-KC600). Compatible with pre-vacuum steam and 100% ethylene oxide sterilization. Not compatible with gravity steam sterilization. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by healthcare providers to enclose medical devices for sterilization via pre-vacuum steam (270°F/132°C, 4 min) or 100% ethylene oxide (55°C, 725-735 mg/L, 40-80% RH, 60 min). Maintains sterility of enclosed devices until opened. Not indicated for gravity steam sterilization.
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.
