System contains medical devices during steam sterilization processes. Containers and trays are stackable. Used in clinical settings to facilitate sterilization of surgical instruments. Healthcare providers place instruments into MediTray components, secure them within the SteriTite container, and subject the assembly to steam sterilization. The valve plates allow for steam penetration and air removal while maintaining a sterile barrier post-sterilization. Benefits include organized instrument handling and protection of sterile contents. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Sterilization performance studies were conducted at independent laboratories for the SteriTite container with FlashTite valve plates. Testing included both containerized MediTray products and wrapped MediTray products. All acceptance criteria were met, demonstrating validation for the intended use. ## Technological Characteristics Rigid reusable sterilization container system. Components include lid, base, and valve plates. MediTray accessories include baskets, trays, racks, silicone mats, brackets, posts, and partitions. Designed for steam pre-vacuum and gravity sterilization cycles. Stackable design. ## Regulatory Identification A sterilization wrap (pack, sterilization wrapper, bag, or accessories, is a device intended to be used to enclose another medical device that is to be sterilized by a health care provider.
