Indications for Use
The V-PRO 1, V-PRO 1 Plus and V-PRO maX 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 metal and nonmetal medical devices used in healthcare facilities. The 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. The V-PRO 60 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 metal and nonmetal medical devices used in Healthcare facilities. The 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
V-PRO series (1, 1 Plus, maX, 60) are vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) sterilizers using VAPROX HC Sterilant; designed for terminal sterilization of heat/moisture-sensitive medical devices in healthcare facilities. Systems operate at low pressure/temperature; pre-programmed cycles (Lumen, Non-Lumen, Flexible) accommodate specific device geometries (lumened/non-lumened, endoscopes). Processed devices are ready for immediate use post-cycle; no aeration required. Healthcare personnel load cleaned/rinsed/dried instruments into trays/pouches; system performs automated sterilization cycle. Output is sterile, ready-to-use medical equipment. Modification removes eye-contacting material restrictions and adds polyurethane compatibility to Lumen Cycle. Safety verified via residual H2O2 testing, cytotoxicity, and ocular irritation studies (ISO 10993-10) compared to predicate.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification included residual hydrogen peroxide analysis, cytotoxicity testing (neat and diluted), and ocular irritation studies per ISO 10993-10. Results demonstrated that processed materials were non-cytotoxic and non-irritants, with H2O2 residues below levels of concern. Polyurethane compatibility was confirmed via material degradation and cosmetic change assessment.
Technological Characteristics
Vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) sterilizer using VAPROX HC Sterilant. Operates at low pressure and low temperature. Compatible with stainless steel, titanium, and polyurethane. Features pre-programmed cycles (Lumen, Non-Lumen, Flexible).
Indications for Use
Indicated for terminal sterilization of cleaned, rinsed, and dried metal and nonmetal medical devices in healthcare facilities. Compatible with heat/moisture-sensitive devices including rigid/semi-rigid endoscopes, flexible endoscopes, bronchoscopes, and instruments with diffusion-restricted spaces (e.g., hinged forceps/scissors).
