Intended Use
The Ellipse Supplemental Instrument Trays are intended to organize, protect, and transport instruments during steam sterilization and subsequent storage. Sterility of the enclosed instruments is not maintained unless used in conjunction with an FDA-cleared sterilization wrap using the following cycle: Pre-vacuum Steam Sterilization parameters: 132°C for 4 minutes with 40 minutes dry time
Device Story
Ellipse Supplemental Instrument Trays consist of reusable, rigid, perforated anodized aluminum containers designed to organize, protect, and transport surgical instruments during steam sterilization and storage. The system includes a lid, base tray, and an optional insert tray for the reamer model. Instruments are secured using medical-grade Class VI silicone holders and stainless steel hardware. The device is used in clinical settings by healthcare personnel to prepare instruments for sterilization. The trays are placed in an FDA-cleared sterilization wrap and processed via pre-vacuum steam sterilization (132°C for 4 minutes, 40-minute dry time). The device ensures instruments remain organized and protected during the sterilization cycle and subsequent storage, facilitating efficient clinical workflows and maintaining instrument integrity.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Sterilization validation confirmed a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10^-6 per ISO 17665-1 and AAMI TIR 12. Dry time validation confirmed effectiveness at 40 minutes. Material integrity and functionality were verified after 100 sterilization cycles. Biocompatibility testing (MEM elution assay on L-939 mouse fibroblasts) confirmed non-cytotoxicity. Cleaning validation (manual and automated) met acceptance criteria for hemoglobin, protein, and TOC levels.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Anodized aluminum, stainless steel, medical-grade Class VI silicone. Design: Rigid, perforated containers with silicone instrument holders. Sterilization: Pre-vacuum steam (132°C, 4 min). Connectivity: None. Software: None. Dimensions: 510mm x 250mm x 45mm (Instrument Tray) and 510mm x 250mm x 87mm (Reamer Tray).
Indications for Use
Indicated for organizing, protecting, and transporting reusable medical instruments during steam sterilization and subsequent storage. No specific patient population, age, or gender restrictions apply.
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.

*For use with the Supplemental Reamer Tray
10. Performance Testing: Non-clinical performance testing was conducted to establish substantial equivalence of the Ellipse Supplemental Instrument Trays to the predicate device. Sterilization validation testing was conducted to confirm that a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10° was achieved at the validated sterilization parameter in the pre-vacuum steam sterilization cycle according to ISO 17665-1 and AAMI TIR 12. Dry time validation was performed following full cycles. Performance testing was conducted to demonstrate that the function and physical construction of the Ellipse Supplement Trays and its components are maintained after exposure to 100 sterilization cycles.
Conclusion: Based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, non-clinical 11. performance data, and a comparison to the predicate device, the Ellipse Supplemental Instrument Trays have been shown to be substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device.
