## Device Story

The Microfracture Instrument Sterilization Tray (MFX-TRAY) is a containment device designed to hold specific surgical instruments during steam sterilization. It is constructed from metal and plastic with perforations to allow steam penetration. The tray is used in clinical settings to organize and protect instruments during the sterilization process. It is compatible with pre-vacuum and gravity steam sterilization cycles. The device ensures that instruments are properly contained and exposed to sterilization conditions, facilitating safe instrument reprocessing for surgical use.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Sterilization validation was conducted in accordance with AAMI TIR 12 requirements using an FDA-cleared sterilization wrap with a maximum load of 8.1 lbs (3.67 kg).

## Technological Characteristics

Constructed of metal and plastic with perforations for steam penetration. Designed for pre-vacuum and gravity steam sterilization cycles (270°F/132°C). Validation performed per AAMI TIR 12.

## 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. It is intended to allow sterilization of the enclosed medical device and also to maintain sterility of the enclosed device until used.

Dear Ms. Roberts:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Page 2 - Ms. Roberts

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in vour Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115.
