It is intended to allow sterilization of the enclosed materials and maintain sterility for up to 30 days until used. The unit must be used with the SteriCUBE System Transfer Cart, SteriCUBE System Filters and SteriCUBE System Integrity Locks. The SteriCUBE 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 SteriCUBE System was tested and validated with 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. Do not use with instruments containing lumens with an inner diameter smaller than 0.7mm 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 SteriCUBE System. ## Device Story SteriCUBE Multiple Tray Sterilization System (MTS225/MTS300) consists of stainless steel sterilization cabinet and adjustable transfer cart; used to house surgical instruments during steam sterilization. Healthcare providers load uncovered, perforated, or wire mesh trays into cabinet; cabinet deployed into prevacuum steam sterilizer via transfer cart. System utilizes disposable paper filters and optional reusable ceramic drain filter to maintain sterility. Output is sterilized, protected instrument set. Benefits include maintained sterility for 30 days post-processing. Device operates in clinical sterilization departments; requires specific filters and integrity locks for function. Clinical decision-making relies on successful sterilization verification via indicators. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Sterilization efficacy validated per ANSI/AAMI ST77:2013. Testing confirmed 10^-6 SAL for specified lumen sizes (0.7mm x 500mm and 1.0mm x 850mm) and verified sterility maintenance for 30 days with a 5-minute dry cycle. ## Technological Characteristics 16 gauge stainless steel cabinet; adjustable transfer cart; disposable paper filters; optional ceramic drain filter. Dimensions/capacity: MTS300 (4 shelves, 300 lbs), MTS225 (3 shelves, 225 lbs). Sterilization: Prevacuum steam (270°F, 4 min). Connectivity: None. Software: None. ## 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 - MTS225 and MTS300 Multiple Tray Sterilization Systems ([K190541](/device/K190541.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The SteriCUBE System is comprised of the stainless steel sterilization cabinet and adjustable transfer cart. An optional reusable ceramic drain filter and single use filters and integrity locks with sterilization indicator dots are used with the system for each sterilization cycle. The optional ceramic drain filter should be replaced every 6 months or after 160 uses, whichever comes first. 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 4 minutes and a dry cycle of a minimum of 5 minutes. Sterility is maintained for up to 30 days. | Continued on next page {4}------------------------------------------------ # Section 5: 510(k) Summary, continued | Indications for

Systems do not affect the technological characteristics. The cabinet material
remains stainless steel and a filtration system utilizing disposable paper filters
of the same material from the same supplier is the method by which
sterilization is achieved and maintained. The optional reusable drain ceramic
filter and paper filter separators are available for user convenience and
performance data confirms their effectiveness. 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. | | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--| | | The SteriCUBE Systems (both the SteriCUBE 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 the shorter minimum dry time of 5 minutes, and maintain sterility for 30 days. | | | Performance
Data | Nonclinical data was generated to ensure the SteriCUBE System continues to
meet the intended use. Sterilization efficacy verification studies were
performed in accordance with the appropriate requirements of ANSI/AAMI
ST77:2013 Containment devices for reusable medical device sterilization. | | | Conclusions | In accordance with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and 21 CFR
807, and based upon the information and scientifically valid data provided in
this premarket notification, SteriCUBE, LLC, concludes that the subject
device, the SteriCUBE Systems (SteriCUBE MTS225 and MTS300 Systems)
is as safe, as effective and perform as well as the predicate device, the
MTS225 and MTS300 Multiple Tray Sterilization Systems (K190541). | | --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/HO/subpart-g%E2%80%94general-hospital-and-personal-use-miscellaneous-devices/KCT/K222328](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/HO/subpart-g%E2%80%94general-hospital-and-personal-use-miscellaneous-devices/KCT/K222328) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
