It is intended to allow sterilization of the enclosed materials and maintain sterility for up to 30 days. The unit must be used with the MTS System Transfer Cart, MTS System Filters and MTS System Integrity Locks. The MTS System is intended to be used in prevacuum steam sterilizers with a prevacuum cycle of 270°F and exposure time of 4 minutes. Use no more than 3 trays per shelf or 25 lbs. per tray. The MTS System was tested and validated with rigid instruments containing lumens with an inner diameter of .7mm and an overall length of 500mm as well as lumens with an inner diameter of 1.0mm and an overall length of 850mm. Do not use with instruments containing lumens with an inner diameter smaller than .7mm and an overall length longer than 500mm or lumens with an inner diameter smaller than 1.0mm and an overall length longer than 850mm. Use only uncovered, perforated or wire mesh general delivery trays within the MTS System. ## Device Story MTS225 and MTS300 are stainless steel sterilization cabinets designed to enclose medical devices during steam sterilization; used with MTS System Transfer Cart, disposable filters, and integrity locks. Healthcare providers load uncovered, perforated, or wire mesh trays into the cabinet; cabinet is deployed into a prevacuum steam sterilizer via the transfer cart. System facilitates sterilization and maintains sterility for 30 days post-processing. Optional STEAMPlus tray record cards/integrators may be used. Device benefits include standardized containment for reusable instruments, ensuring sterility maintenance during storage and transport. The MTS225 is a smaller, lighter version of the predicate MTS300, offering identical sterilization performance with reduced drying time requirements. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Studies performed per ANSI/AAMI ST77:2013. Validated sterilization efficacy to 10^-6 SAL for rigid instruments with lumens (0.7mm ID/500mm length and 1.0mm ID/850mm length). Confirmed 10-minute minimum dry time and 30-day sterility maintenance following rigorous outdoor transportation and storage. ## Technological Characteristics 16-gauge stainless steel cabinet; disposable heavy-duty sterilization wrap filters; adjustable transfer cart for deployment. Prevacuum steam sterilization (270°F, 4-minute exposure). Dimensions vary by model (MTS225/MTS300). No electronic components or software. ## 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. ## Predicate Devices - MTS300 Multiple Tray Sterilization System ([K152014](/device/K152014.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

K152014 | | Device Description | The MTS System is comprised of the stainless steel sterilization cabinet and
adjustable transfer cart. Single use filters and integrity locks with sterilization
indicator dots are used with the system for each sterilization cycle. An
optional STEAMPlus™ tray record card with STEAMPlus sterilization
integrator (SPS Medical) may be utilized by the healthcare provider. | | | Adjustable shelves within the cabinet can hold up to three trays (uncovered,
perforated or wire mesh) of devices and/or surgical instruments intended for a
single patient surgery. No more than 25 pounds can be loaded per tray for a
maximum of 75 pounds per shelf. The MTS300 Cabinet (with four shelves)
can hold up to 300 pounds per load and the MTS225 Cabinet (with three
shelves) can hold up to 225 pounds per load. | | | The loaded cabinet is deployed from the adjustable transfer cart and processed
in pre-vacuum steam sterilizers. Processing includes the standard
conditioning phase of the autoclave followed by a sterilization cycle time of a
minimum of 4 minutes and a dry cycle of a minimum of 10 minutes. Sterility
is maintained for up to 30 days. | | Indications for Use | The MTS System (Multiple Tray Sterilization System) is indicated for
enclosing other medical devices that are to be sterilized by a healthcare
provider. It is intended to allow sterilization of the enclosed materials and

Characteristics
with the
Predicate
Device | Modifications introduced into the MTS300 Multiple Tray Sterilization
Systems do not affect the technological characteristics. The cabinet material
remains stainless steel and a filtration system utilizing disposable filters of the
same material from the same supplier is the method by which sterilization is
achieved and maintained. The cabinet continues to be deployed into the
sterilization chamber with an adjustable transfer cart. The sterilization
parameters and sterility maintenance specifications are identical to the
predicate device. | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Nonclinical
Testing | Nonclinical data was generated to ensure the MTS Systems meet the intended
use. Sterilization efficacy verification studies were performed in accordance
with the requirements of ANSI/AAMI ST77:2013 Containment devices for
reusable medical device sterilization.
The smaller modified MTS300 System (the MTS225 System) is
dimensionally smaller in height and lighter weight. Because of its smaller
size, the Volume-to-Vent ratio is less than the MTS300 System.
The MTS Systems (both the MTS225 and MTS300 Systems) have
demonstrated the ability to: achieve a 10-6 SAL when sterilizing longer and smaller lumen sized instruments (rigid instruments containing lumens with an inner diameter of 0.7mm and an overall length of 500mm as well as lumens with an inner diameter of 1.0mm and an overall length of 850mm), meet or exceed the shorter minimum dry time of 10 minutes, and maintain sterility for 30 days following rigorous outdoor transportation and storage outside the sterilization facility. | | Conclusion | The nonclinical tests demonstrate that the MTS225 and MTS300 Multiple
Tray Sterilization Systems are as safe, as effective, and perform as well as or
better than the legally marketed device, the MTS300 Multiple Tray
Sterilization System (K152014). | --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/HO/subpart-g%E2%80%94general-hospital-and-personal-use-miscellaneous-devices/KCT/K190541](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/HO/subpart-g%E2%80%94general-hospital-and-personal-use-miscellaneous-devices/KCT/K190541) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
