General dental / medical instrument cassettes intended to hold instruments and accessories in place throughout the entire instrument use, cleaning and sterilization cycle. These cassettes are suitable for Gravity Steam, Pre-vacuum steam and EO sterilization.
Device Story
The C/T Med-Systems Instrument Cassette System is a reusable metal container made of aluminum and stainless steel, designed to organize and secure dental and medical instruments. The system is used in hospitals, operating rooms, and dental offices to hold instruments throughout the entire cycle of use, cleaning, and sterilization. It supports multiple sterilization methods, including Gravity Steam, Pulsing High Vacuum steam, and Ethylene Oxide (EO). Instruments can also be cleaned via chemical sterilant while inside the cassette. The device provides a structured environment for instrument management, reducing handling and potential injury during the sterilization process. Healthcare providers use the cassettes to maintain instrument organization and sterility from the point of use through the cleaning and sterilization workflow.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Performance was established through bench testing in accordance with AAMI TIR No. 12-1994. Testing validated the cassette system's performance under three sterilization methods: Pulsing High Vacuum steam, Gravity steam, and Ethylene Oxide (EO). Ultrasonic cleaning efficacy was also verified by Indiana University.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Aluminum and stainless steel. Form factor: Metal containers in various sizes (typically 1.5" x 3.5" x 1" to 8" x 15.5" x 2.5"). Sterilization compatibility: Gravity Steam, Pulsing High Vacuum steam, and Ethylene Oxide (EO). Design features: Internal instrument holding mechanisms, optional latch system.
Indications for Use
Indicated for holding dental and medical instruments and accessories in place during use, cleaning, and sterilization cycles in hospital, operating room, physician, and dental office settings.
Regulatory Classification
