## Indications for Use

The Stryker System 9 Sterile Battery Container is a reusable rigid sterilization container intended to allow for sterilization, by hospitals, surgery centers, and healthcare facilities, of the enclosed, compatible Stryker Sterile Battery Packs and maintain sterility of the enclosed device until used. The container is validated for use with compatible battery packs in low temperature hydrogen peroxide sterilization cycles.

## Device Story

System 9 Sterile Battery Container is a reusable rigid container for sterilizing Stryker battery packs via low-temperature hydrogen peroxide cycles. Device consists of a Radel (PPSU) base and stainless-steel lid with filter retention plate and single-use polypropylene filters. User loads battery pack into base, attaches lid, secures latching mechanism, and applies tamper-evident lock. Container maintains sterile barrier for up to 45 days post-sterilization. Used in healthcare facilities; operated by clinical staff. Output is a sterilized, protected battery pack ready for clinical use. Sterilization verification performed via indicator strips. Design allows battery charging while maintaining sterile barrier. Benefits include safe, efficient sterilization and storage of power components for surgical equipment.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only. Performance validated via sterilization efficacy (ISO 14937, ISO 22441), toxicological risk assessment (ISO 10993-17), cleaning validation (AAMI ST98), maintenance of sterility (AAMI ST77), simulated use design validation, and human factors engineering (IEC 62366-1).

## Technological Characteristics

Rigid, reusable container. Base: Radel (PPSU). Lid: Stainless steel. Filter: Single-use polypropylene. Sterilization: Low-temperature hydrogen peroxide (STERRAD/Steris V-PRO cycles). Dimensions: Small (3.2"H x 4.2"W x 12.9"L), Large (3.9"H x 4.2"W x 12.9"L). Standards: ISO 14937, ISO 22441, ISO 10993-17, ISO 17664-1, AAMI TIR 12, AAMI ST98, AAMI ST77, IEC 62366-1.

## 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.

Trade/Device Name: System 9 Sterile Battery Container Regulation Number: 21 CFR 880.6850 Regulation Name: Sterilization Wrap Regulatory Class: Class II Product Code: KCT Dated: September 19, 2024 Received: September 19, 2024

Dear Megan Guilbault:

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 (the 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"

{1}------------------------------------------------

(https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30. Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90. Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the OS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).

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); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.

All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rue"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advicecomprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

# 1.8 Summary of Non-Clinical Testing

The intended use of the subject device and the predicate device are identical, and the technological characteristics are similar. The differences between the two devices do not raise any new or different types of questions of safety and effectiveness.

Risk management was conducted in accordance with ISO 14971.

A suite of non-clinical testing was performed in accordance with applicable standards. See table below:
