The intended use of the 633HC Steam Sterilizer has not changed; Intended for use by health care facilities to sterilize wrapped and unwrapped, porous and nonporous heat and moisture stable items such as surgical instruments and linens by means of pressurized steam.
Device Story
System automates loading/unloading of Getinge 633HC steam sterilizers to improve workflow efficiency in large hospital/offsite reprocessing centers. Components include user interface station, conveyors, and transport shuttles. User scans load car barcode, selects cycle via interface; system automatically transports load to available sterilizer, initiates cycle, and unloads upon completion. Sterilizer controls sterilization process; door remains locked until cycle success. Reduces manual handling of loads. No direct patient contact.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data required for this submission; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
System integrates multiple 633HC steam sterilizers with automated conveyor/shuttle transport. Sterilization principle: saturated steam. Connectivity: NetCOM card for communication between AGS and sterilizers. Software: modified to enable automated door operation and cycle initiation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by health care facilities to sterilize wrapped and unwrapped, porous and nonporous heat and moisture stable items, including surgical instruments and linens, via pressurized steam. Used in high-volume sterile reprocessing centers.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A steam sterilizer (autoclave) is a device that is intended for use by a health care provider to sterilize medical products by means of pressurized steam.

#### Description of Device:
The Getinge 633HC Steam Sterilizer Air Glide System is intended to provide automated loading and unloading of instruments requiring sterilization for increasing hospital work flow efficiencies. The Air Glide System is used with multiple Getinge Model 633HC 51" steam sterilizers with double-door, pass-through configurations. The system consists of a single point user interface station, loading conveyor, load transport shuttles, unloading conveyor and 2 to 7 Getinge Model 633HC Steam Sterilizers.
The 633HC AGS is designed to minimize the manual handling of sterilizer loads during transfer, chamber loading and chamber unloading of 633HC steam sterilizers. Users place the load car on the AGS conveyor, scan the load car with a barcode reader, scan the required cycle from the cycle list and click OK to enter the requirements into the AGS system. The AGS now automatically moves the load car to an available sterilizer and automatically loads the sterilizer, signals the sterilizer to run the required cycle and following a successful cycle will automatically unload the sterilizer on the unload end and move the load to the unload conveyor for pick up. Users do not need to load and unload individual sterilizers. The 633HC sterilizer controls the sterilization cycle as it normally would and does not open the unload door unless the cycle completed without error.
