## Intended Use

The EvoTech™ System is intended for use as a washer / disinfector for reprocessing flexible endoscopes that do not contact normally sterile areas of the body.

## Device Story

EvoTech™ Integrated Endoscope Disinfection System is a two-basin washer/disinfector for flexible endoscopes. Device processes endoscopes via automated leak test, block test, pre-rinse, wash, disinfection (50-55°C), rinse, and alcohol flush. Uses CIDEX® OPA Concentrate diluted to in-use concentration; disinfectant discarded after each cycle. Includes on-board Minimum Effective Concentration (MEC) monitor. Operated in healthcare facilities to ensure high-level disinfection of semi-critical devices. Output provides reprocessed endoscopes for clinical reuse; automated monitoring ensures disinfection parameters are met, reducing risk of cross-contamination.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing and simulated use studies performed per FDA 1993 guidance. Simulated use achieved 6-log10 reduction of Mycobacterium terrae using CIDEX OPA Concentrate (0.055% MEC) at 50°C without manual cleaning. In-use clinical testing of reprocessed endoscopes showed no growth in sterility testing. Biocompatibility analysis confirmed OPA residual levels are non-toxic. Material compatibility testing showed minimal effect over multiple cycles.

## Technological Characteristics

Two-basin washer/disinfector. Sensing: On-board MEC monitor, automated leak/block testing. Energy: Thermal (50-55°C). Connectivity: Not specified. Sterilization/Disinfection: High-level chemical disinfection using CIDEX OPA. Form factor: Integrated system.

The EvoTech System, a washer / disinfector, is indicated for use with the Performance data high level disinfectant CIDEX® OPA Concentrate, (MEC of 0.055%, minimum temperature of 50℃ for a contact time of 5 minutes) to achieve high-level disinfection of flexible endoscopes. Endoscopes must be manually cleaned prior to placement in the EvoTech System. The System includes an on-board MEC monitor, performs automated leak test, block test and post processing alcohol flush. The EvoTech System was tested using the standard array of tests defined Efficacy Testing in the FDA Guidance on Premarket Notification [510(k)] Submission for Automated Endoscope Washers, Washer / Disinfectors, and Disinfectors Intended for Use in Health Care Facilities, august, 1993 Simulated Use Testing: The high level disinfectant indicated for use with the EvoTech System was tested for efficacy in a simulated use environment. A 6 Logio reduction of Mycobacterium terrae was achieved when flexible endoscopes, contaminated with spores and artificial soil and were exposed to CIDEX OPA Concentrate In Use solution without cleaning. The diluted CIDEX® OPA Concentrate at an MEC of 0.055% OPA concentration at 50°C is effective against Mycobacterium terrae in artificial soil. In Use Testing: Endoscopes used in a clinical environment were reprocessed in the EvoTech System without manual cleaning. Sterility testing demonstrated no growth. An endoscope reprocessed in the EvoTech System was evaluated for Biocompatibility residue levels. The analysis indicates that the level of OPA residual remaining on an endoscope is not likely to cause toxic effects in humans. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Material The EvoTech System using CIDEX OPA Concentrate In-Use solution compatibility was evaluated for its effect on materials commonly used in medical devices.
