The SterilContainer S System is a reusable sterilization container system (consisting of perforated bottoms and perforated lids with filter retention plates, and single use polypropylene filters) intended to be used to enclose another medical device that is to be sterilized by a healthcare provider. This container system has been validated with flexible endoscopes and accessories, cables, and camera heads. It is intended to allow sterilization of the enclosed device and also maintain sterility of the enclosed device until used. This container system is compatible for use with the STERRAD 100NX DUO Cycle. The SterilContainer S System includes accessories such as silicone mats, baskets, trays, racks, filters, indicator cards, locks, and instrument holders.

Device Story

SterilContainer S System is a reusable rigid container for sterilization and storage of medical devices; constructed of non-anodized aluminum with disposable polypropylene filters. Used in healthcare facilities to enclose instruments (flexible endoscopes, cables, camera heads) during STERRAD 100NX DUO sterilization cycles. System includes accessories: silicone mats, baskets, trays, racks, and tamper-proof locks. Device functions as a protective barrier; allows sterilant penetration while maintaining sterility post-process. Healthcare providers place instruments in containers; process in STERRAD 100NX DUO; store until needed. Ensures sterility maintenance for up to 365 days. Benefits include protection of delicate instruments and sterile storage.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Validated using biological overkill method and half-cycle validation in STERRAD 100NX DUO cycle. Demonstrated 12-log reduction and SAL of 10^-6. Simulated use testing achieved 6-log reduction of G. stearothermophilus. Sterility maintenance validated for 365 days.

Technological Characteristics

Rigid container system; non-anodized aluminum; disposable polypropylene filters; silicone gaskets. Sizes: Full, 1/2, 3/4. Accessories: stainless steel baskets, racks, trays, silicone mats. Sterilization: STERRAD 100NX DUO (hydrogen peroxide gas plasma).

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by healthcare providers to enclose medical devices, including flexible endoscopes, accessories, cables, and camera heads, for sterilization and maintenance of sterility until use.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

These validations were conducted by a qualified testing laboratory. The performance testing demonstrates that the device meets the acceptance criteria for each test. | Performance Testing | Results | |--------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Sterilization Efficacy/ Lethality Study | Testing demonstrated a 12 log reduction and a sterility assurance level (SAL) of $10^{-6}$ using the biological (BI) overkill method and half-cycle validation. | | Maintenance of Sterility | Maintenance Sterility for the proposed devices remains unchanged and continues to provide an effective barrier for maintaining sterility of the contents after sterilization for 365 days event related storage under conditions which simulate hospital sterile package handling and storage conditions still applies for the DUO cycle. | | Simulated Use | Testing demonstrated that a 6-log reduction of G. stearothermophilus suspended in artificial soil medium is achieved for the Aesculap, Inc. SterilContainer S Containers when processed through a full cycle in the STERRAD 100NX DUO Cycle in healthcare facilities. | | Inactivation Kinetics | No growth was observed from three different injection doses for load configuration 1, 2 and 3 respectively. | | Aerosol Challenge | The Aerosol challenge remains unchanged from the predicates as the container as well as the gaskets of the container remain the same as cleared in predicates. Predicate device data is still relevant for the proposed device. | | Material Compatibility | Material Compatibility test data has not changed and remains the same as cleared in predicate. | | Biocompatibility | The biocompatibility of the container remains unchanged from the predicates as the materials of the container remains the same as cleared in the predicate. | ## CONCLUSION The non-clinical testing demonstrates that the SterilContainer S System for use in the STERRAD 100NX DUO Cycle is as safe, as effective and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate device, the Aesculap SterilContainer S System for use in the STERRAD 200, STERRAD NX (Std. & Adv.) and STERRAD 100NX (Std. and Flex) Cycles (K093493) .
