Intended Use

The Amsco® V-PRO™ maX Low Temperature Sterilization System, with VAPROX™ HC Sterilant, is a vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilizer intended for use in the terminal sterilization of cleaned, rinsed and dried reusable metal and nonmetal medical devices used in healthcare facilities. The three pre-programmed sterilization cycles (Lumen Cycle, Non Lumen Cycle, and Flexible Cycle) operate at low pressure and low temperature and are thus suitable for processing medical devices sensitive to heat and moisture.

Device Story

Amsco V-PRO maX is a vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) sterilizer for heat/moisture-sensitive reusable medical instruments. Device utilizes VAPROX HC Sterilant; operates via three pre-programmed cycles: Lumen, Non Lumen, and Flexible. System performs conditioning, sterilization, and aeration phases at low pressure/temperature. Used in healthcare facilities by trained staff. Output is sterile, ready-to-use instruments. Benefits include rapid processing without cool-down/aeration periods. Software modifications enhance usability and address customer requests.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Validation studies performed using specific load configurations (e.g., 19.65 lbs for Lumen/Non-Lumen cycles; 24.0 lbs for Flexible cycle). Testing confirmed sterilization efficacy for specified lumen dimensions and load types using biological indicators (Verify V24 SCBI) and process indicators.

Technological Characteristics

Vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilizer; uses VAPROX HC Sterilant. Operates at low pressure/temperature. Features three cycles: Lumen, Non Lumen, Flexible. Chamber/vaporizer temperature 50/60°C. Software-controlled cycles with automated conditioning, sterilization, and aeration phases.

Indications for Use

Indicated for terminal sterilization of cleaned, rinsed, and dried reusable metal and nonmetal medical devices in healthcare facilities. Includes rigid endoscopes, hinged instruments (forceps/scissors), and flexible endoscopes (ENT, Urology, bronchoscopes) with specific lumen diameter/length constraints. Contraindicated for devices not compatible with vaporized hydrogen peroxide or those not cleaned/dried per instructions.

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.

#### Predicate Device 2.

Amsco® V-PROTM maX Low Temperature Sterilization System (K102330)

#### 3. Description of Device

The Amsco V-PRO maX Low Temperature Sterilization System is a new sterilizer model to be added to the Amsco V-PRO family of sterilizers. The V-PRO product line currently consists of the Amsco V-PRO 1 and Amsco V-PRO 1 Plus Sterilizers.

The V-PRO maX Sterilizer has three pre-programmed cycles: the Lumen Cycle (K062297), the Non Lumen Cycle (K083097) and the Flexible Cycle (K102330). The V-PRO maX Low Temperature Sterilization System is intended for terminal sterilization of cleaned, rinsed, dried and packaged reusable surgical instruments used in healthcare facilities.

The V-PRO maX Sterilizer uses VAPROX HC Sterilant to sterilize the intended devices through exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP). Its three preprogrammed cycles all utilize a conditioning phase, a sterilization phase and an aeration phase. The packaged sterilized devices are ready for use at the completion of the cycle; no cool down or aeration period is required.

The Flexible Cycle has been designed to sterilize surgical flexible endoscopes (such as those used in ENT, Urology and Surgical care) and bronchoscopes. The flexible endoscopes can be single or dual channeled and they may be processed in a flexible endoscope-only load or in combination with non-lumened medical instruments. The cycle is approximately 35 minutes long.

The Verify V24 SCBI (K073244 and K09051), Verify VH2O2 Process Indicator (K091174), V-PRO Sterilization Trays (K070769), and Vis-U-All Tyvek pouches (K070765, K071087, and K090371) have been validated for use in the V-PRO maX Sterilizer.
