The sterilization trays are not intended to maintain sterility by themselves. Prior to sterilization, the trays must be double-wrapped with an appropriate FDA-cleared sterilization wrap to provide a microbial barrier which allows sterilant to permeate throughout the interior of the loaded tray. The tray configurations, available in various sizes, are designed to encase KARL STORZ medical devices, such as light cables, instruments, rigid telescopes, semi-rigid telescopes, etc. All systems consist of a RADEL plastic base and lid. Lids are attached to the trays with assembled hardware. Some trays have a RADEL inner tray and/or silicone rubber mat. The sterilization trays are constructed with perforated/ventilated sides and lids to allow for permeation of sterilant during sterilization. The trays have latches designed to fasten the lid onto the base. Other tray components include silicone instrument holders to secure instruments and silicone mats to provide protection of the medical devices in the sterilization tray. {4}------------------------------------------------ Intended Use: The KARL STORZ RADEL Sterilization Trays are intended only for use to encase and protect specific KARL STORZ reusable medical devices for sterilization in pre-vacuum steam sterilization cycles (132℃ 4 minutes).
