Safety features include air bleed device, pressure rise indicator in lid, and gasket blow-out slot for pressure relief. Used in clinical settings for instrument sterilization. Output is sterile instruments for reuse. Benefits include effective infection control for solid, non-lumened medical instruments. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics 120V steam sterilizer; 121°C saturated steam process; 18-minute cycle. Features air bleed device, lid-mounted pressure indicator, and gasket blow-out slot for pressure relief. Available in standard (335mm height) and extended (420mm height) body configurations. ## Regulatory Identification A steam sterilizer (autoclave) is a device that is intended for use by a health care provider to sterilize medical products by means of pressurized steam. ## Predicate Devices - KaVoKlave Steam Autoclave ([K910789](/device/K910789.md)) - #M8 Electronic Sterilizer ([K900432](/device/K900432.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Box 154 Off Clarendon Road Blackburn, Lancashire BB1 9UG United Kingdom Contact Person: Robert N. Stevenson Date Summary Prepared: February 20, 1998 (2) Device Proprietary Name: Prestige Medical Series 2100 Clinical Autoclave Common Name: autoclave Classification Name: steam sterilizer (3) Predicates: KaVoKlave Steam Autoclave, K910789 #M8 Electronic Sterilizer, K900432 (4) Device Description: The Series 2100 clinical autoclaves by Prestige Medical are Model numbers 2100 07 (extended body) and 2100 06 (standard body). Both are 120 volt autoclaves, which have a 18 minute sterilization cycle at 121°C. The height of the extended body autoclave is slightly greater than that of the standard body (420mm versus 335mm). (5) Intended Use: The autoclaves are intended to sterilize unwrapped solid instruments (i.e., excluding lumened instruments and dental handpieces) and non-porous loads at cycle parameters of 121°C saturated steam process for 18 minutes. (6) The devices have substantially the same technological characteristics as the devices cleared under K910789 and K900432, and the identical materials, design, composition and function as the products currently marketed under K910789 and K900432. The slight modification reflected in the subject devices is that the "plug and pintle," which performed air bleed, pressure indicator and excess pressure relief functions, has been replaced by three separate components, each of which fulfills one of the functions formerly performed by the plug and pintle. The three separate components are: an air bleed device; a pressure rise indicator in the lid of the product; and a gasket blow-out slot through which a sealing gasket may extrude if necessary. {1} DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Public Health Service Food and Drug Administration 9200 Corporate Boulevard Rockville MD 20850 MAR - 3 1998 Mr. Mark A.

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
