TRADE NAME: Steelco VS Series Steam Sterilizers, models 262839, 262851, 262869
COMMON NAME: Steam Sterilizer
DEVICE CLASSIFICATION: Class II
DEVICE Steam Sterilizer
PANEL: General Hospital
CLASSIFICATION NAMES: Steam Sterilizer, 21 CFR 880.6880, classification code FLE
PREDICATE DEVICES: AMSCO 600 Steam Sterilizer K183410
DEVICE DESCRIPTION: The Steelco VS Series Steam Sterilizers use saturated steam, generated from a house steam utility (e.g. boiler system) or from a steam generator, to sterilize heat-stable health care products.
The sterilizer accomplishes this by removing the air in the chamber, exposing the load to saturated steam for a defined combination of time and temperature, and drying the load. Removal of air from the chamber occurs using either of two methods, gravity displacement or mechanical vacuum. Once the air removal phase is completed, the sterilizer progresses to the steam exposure phase. During the steam exposure phase, every surface of the load is exposed to saturated steam for a defined combination of time and temperature. Once the steam exposure phase is completed, steam is removed from the chamber and the load is dried using the latent heat in the load and the vacuum pump.
The sterilizers are generally operated by technicians in a central service or sterile processing department of healthcare facilities. Sterilizers may also be located in a surgical suite to allow for Immediate Use Steam Sterilization (IUSS) for instances where an instrument is needed immediately for a procedure (e.g. after an instrument has been dropped and there is no replacement readily available). Standard practices for use of sterilizers in health care facilities are provided by various organizations (e.g. ANSI/AAMI ST79).
#### INTENDED USE/INDICATIONS FOR USE:
At no time will there be patient contact. The Steelco VS Series Steam Sterilizers are designed for sterilization of heat and moisture-stable materials used in healthcare facilities and are equipped with twelve factory-programmed cycles, shown in the table below:
