The KC300 Model KIMGUARD ONE-STEP* 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. 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 KC300 Model ONE-STEP* wrap was validated for dry times for pre-vacuum steam sterilization of 30 minutes. KIMGUARD ONE-STEP* Sterilization Wrap is not indicated for use for gravity steam sterilization. The KC 300 Model KIMGUARD ONE-STEP* Sterilization Wrap was previously cleared for use in K082177 for use with an ethylene oxide sterilization method of 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.
Device Story
KC300 KIMGUARD ONE-STEP Sterilization Wrap consists of two sheets of polypropylene SMS (spunbond-meltblown-spunbond) fabric ultrasonically seamed on two sides. Used by healthcare providers to enclose medical instruments prior to sterilization. Device acts as a barrier to maintain sterility of contents post-sterilization until opened. Input is the medical device to be wrapped; output is a sterile-packaged instrument set. Used in clinical settings; facilitates aseptic storage and transport of surgical tools. Benefits include maintenance of sterility for up to 30 days post-sterilization.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included biocompatibility (ISO 10993), sterilant penetration, dry time, physical integrity, and sterility maintenance for up to 30 days. Results met all acceptance criteria for pre-vacuum steam sterilization (270°F/132°C for 4 minutes) with a 30-minute dry time.
Technological Characteristics
Two-sheet polypropylene SMS (spunbond-meltblown-spunbond) fabric; ultrasonically seamed. Dimensions: square or rectangular. Sterilization methods: pre-vacuum steam (270°F/132°C) and ethylene oxide. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by healthcare providers to enclose medical devices for sterilization via pre-vacuum steam (270°F/132°C for 4 minutes) or ethylene oxide. Intended for light to moderate weight packages (up to 9 lbs). 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.

Predicate Devices:
Substantial Equivalence: The KC300 Model KIMGUARD ONE-STEP* Sterilization Wrap for pre-vacuum steam sterilization is substantially equivalent to the predicate KIMGUARD ONE-STEP* Sterilization Wrap (Models KC100 KC200, KC300, KC400, KC500, and KC600) (K082177).
The KC300 Model KIMGUARD ONE-STEP* Sterilization Wrap is identical to the predicate KC300 Model KIMGUARD ONE-STEP* Sterilization Wrap in K082177 in design, materials, and intended use (the intended use is being expanded in this 510(k) notification to include pre-vacuum steam sterilization in addition to the previously cleared indication for use with ethylene oxide sterilization). The KC300 Model KIMGUARD ONE-STEP* Sterilization Wrap is comprised of two sheets of KIMGUARD* Sterilization Wrap ultrasonically seamed on two sides. This allows for convenient wrapping with two sheets simultaneously. The sheets of sterilization wrap are square or rectangular fabric produced using a polypropylene three-layer SMS (spunbondmeltblown-spunbond) process.
Summary of Testing:
The KC300 Model KIMGUARD ONE-STEP* Sterilization Wrap performance has been tested in accordance with the applicable requirements recommended in Premarket Notification [510(k)] Submissions for Medical Sterilization Packaging Systems in Health Care Facilities; Draft Guidance for Industry and FDA (March 7, 2002). Testing included biocompatibility (i.e., irritation and sensitization) in compliance with the methods of ISO 10993, sterilant penetration, dry time, and physical integrity. The Wrap has also been tested for the ability to maintain sterility of pack contents after sterilization for up to 30days under standard conditions All results of testing met acceptance criteria.
