Intended Use

The Amsco V-PRO 1 and V-PRO 1 Plus Low Temperature Sterilization Systems, with VAPROX HC Sterilant, are vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilizers intended for use in the terminal sterilization of cleaned, rinsed and dried reusable metal and nonmetal medical devices used in healthcare facilities. The pre-programmed sterilization cycles operate at low pressure and low temperature and are thus suitable for processing medical devices sensitive to heat and moisture. The Amsco V-PRO 1 Cycle, which is identical to the V-PRO 1 Plus Lumen Cycle, was cleared under K062297 and can sterilize: * Instruments with diffusion-restricted spaces such as the hinged portion of forceps and scissors . Medical devices with a single stainless steel lumen with: . o an inside diameter of 1 mm or larger and a length of a 125 mm or shorter o an insider diameter of 2 mm or larger and a length of 250 mm or shorter o an inside diameter of 3 mm or larger and a length of 400 mm or shorter * The validation testing for all lumen sizes was conducted using a maximum of twenty (20) lumens per load. Hospital loads should not exceed the maximum number of lumens validated by this testing. The validation studies were performed using a validation load consisting of two instrument trays and two pouches for a total weight of 19.65 lbs. The Amsco V-PRO 1 Plus Low Temperature Sterilization System's Non Lumen Cycle was cleared under K083097 and can sterilize: ** Non-lumened instruments including non-lumened instruments with stainless steel diffusion-restricted areas such as the hinged portion of forceps or scissors. ** The validation studies were conducted using a validation load consisting of two instrument trays and two pouches for a total weight of 19.65 lbs.

Device Story

Self-contained, stand-alone vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilizers; used in healthcare facilities for terminal sterilization of heat/moisture-sensitive reusable medical devices. Devices process instruments via pre-programmed low-pressure, low-temperature cycles using VAPROX HC Sterilant. Modifications include updated software, odor filters, vacuum pump oil, ARS filters, and gas ballast filters to enhance usability and address customer requests. Healthcare providers load cleaned/dried instruments into trays/pouches; system performs automated sterilization cycle. Output is a sterile medical device ready for clinical use. Benefits include effective sterilization of complex, sensitive instruments without thermal damage.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Validation studies performed using a 19.65 lb load (two trays, two pouches) to confirm sterilization efficacy for specified lumen sizes and non-lumened instruments. Performance testing for modified hardware components (filters, oil) confirmed they meet or exceed current performance criteria. Software validation confirmed appropriate functionality.

Technological Characteristics

Vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilizer; operates at low pressure/temperature. Components: ARS filters, gas ballast filters, vacuum pump. Software-controlled cycles. Stand-alone form factor. Sterilant: VAPROX HC.

Indications for Use

Indicated for terminal sterilization of cleaned, rinsed, and dried reusable metal and nonmetal medical devices in healthcare facilities. Suitable for heat- and moisture-sensitive devices, including those with diffusion-restricted spaces (e.g., hinged forceps/scissors) and single stainless steel lumens (min 1mm ID/125mm length, 2mm ID/250mm length, or 3mm ID/400mm length).

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.
