Device Description: KimGuard Smart-Fold* Sterilization Wrap is comprised primarily of two pieces of KimGuard Sterilization Wrap fabric (the blue base layer and the white intermediate layer). The fabric is a nonwoven spunbondmeltblown-spunbond (SMS) fabric composed of a top (inner) layer of spunbond, a center laver of meltblown, and a bottom (outer) layer of spunbond. SMS nonwoven fabrics are composed of polypropylene and white titanium dioxide and phthalocyanine blue pigments. Two strips of blue SMS are adhesively bonded to the white SMS intermediate layer for added strength. The reinforcement strips also contain a "reference line" feature designed to indicate proper sterilization tray placement to the user. Adhesive tape strips with release liners are included to secure the inner layers of the package. Users remove the release liners and use these adhesive strips to secure the wrap prior to sterilization. The Smart-Fold product also incorporates handles and pulls tabs comprised of blue SMS material and adhesive branding labels for aseptic opening.
Predicate Device: The KimGuard Smart-Fold* Sterilization Wrap (Models KC250, KC450, KC550, and KC650) is substantially equivalent to the predicate KimGuard One-Step* Sterilization Wrap (Models KC100, KC200, KC300, KC400, KC500, and KC600) (K082177).
Substantial Equivalence: The modified design of KimGuard Smart-Fold* Sterilization Wrap is substantially equivalent to the predicate Kimberly-Clark KimGuard* One-Step* Sterilization Wrap (K082177) in intended use, design, and materials.
Summary of Testing: KimGuard Smart-Fold* Sterilization Wrap has been tested in compliance 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in Premarket Notification [510(k)] Submissions for Medical Sterilization Packaging Systems in Health Care Facilities; Draft Guidance for Industry and FDA (March 7, 2002).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 irritation and sensitization biocompatibility 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 30 days under standard conditions. All test results met acceptance criteria.
