The STATCLAVE G4 is a dynamic-air-removal (pre-vacuum) table-top steam sterilizer intended for use by a health care provider to sterilize medical products by means of pressurized steam. It is suitable for the sterilization of dental and medical instruments that are validated to be steam. The STATCLAVE G4 has not been designed to sterilize liquid loads, bio-medical waste or materials not compatible with steam sterilization. The processing of such loads may result in incomplete sterilization and / or damage to the autoclave.
Device Story
STATCLAVE G4 is a table-top dynamic-air-removal (pre-vacuum) steam sterilizer; used by healthcare providers in clinical settings to sterilize medical/dental instruments. Device utilizes pressurized steam to achieve sterilization; operates via pre-programmed cycles (Solid/Unwrapped, Solid/Wrapped, Hollow/Unwrapped, Hollow/Wrapped, Textiles/Porous Wrapped, Rubber & Plastic). User selects cycle based on load type; device executes sterilization parameters (temperature/exposure time/drying time). Output is sterilized instruments ready for clinical use. Benefits include effective pathogen reduction on reusable medical devices, supporting infection control workflows.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Dynamic-air-removal (pre-vacuum) table-top steam sterilizer. Operates at 121°C or 132°C. Features multiple cycle programs for solid, hollow, textile, and rubber/plastic loads. Capacity up to 6.0 kg. Standalone unit.
Indications for Use
Indicated for healthcare providers to sterilize dental and medical instruments (solid, hollow, textiles, rubber, plastic) validated for steam sterilization. Not for liquid loads, bio-medical waste, or steam-incompatible materials.

Dear Teresa Boyce:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's
{1}------------------------------------------------
requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
