- Adroit Medical Systems, Inc. believes that SafePASS Sterilization Pouches are a(3) substantially equivalent to the various sizes of SupraShield hospital sterilization wrap, 510(k) number K921243, marketed by V. Mueller, a division of Allegiance Healthcare Corporation (formerly a division of Baxter International Corporation).
- SafePASS Sterilization Pouches are pouches made of previously 510(k) cleared a(4) sterilization wrap material. SafePASS Sterilization Pouches are provided to the end user in a partially folded condition, representing the first step of a patented folding system. After inserting the item or items to be sterilized, the pouch is closed by making the final two folds as described in the instructions for use. Once closed in this method and sterilized, the pouch allows convenient aseptic presentation of the enclosed device by following that section of the instructions for use.
SafePASS Sterilization Pouches are provided in both single and double thickness versions.
Included in this section is the draft labeling and instructions for use.
- SafePASS Sterilization Pouches are intended for use as sterility barrier packaging in a(5) the steam sterilization of various medical devices, kits, instruments, etc.
- Safe PASS Sterilization Pouches are manufactured using the same material that is used a(6) to produce the SupraShield Sterilization Wrap product.
The difference is how the finished device is presented to the end user. For a SafePASS Sterilization Pouch, a sheet of material is folded over and sealed along two edges forming a pouch. This pouch then has a portion of the open end folded concentrically back over itself, thereby forming a cuff. From this point, the user inserts the item or items to be sterilized and closes the pouch by making the final two folds as instructed in

the directions for use. The SupraShield Sterilization Wrap is provided to the end user as a flat sheet with the user folding it around the item to be sterilized as desired.
In some situations it is desired that two layers of sterilization wrap be used. For those situations SafePASS Sterilization Pouches will be available in both a single thickness and a double thickness version.
- This section is not required for this submission because substantial equivalence is based b on intended use and device characteristics and specifications, and not on an assessment of performance data.

- Measure the circumference of the longest dimension and divide by 2. 1.
An item where the longest dimension is 22" in circumference would Example: require a SafePASS ™ that is at least 12" wide; 22 divided by 2 equals 11.
- Measure the circumference of the shortest dimension and divide by 2. 2.
An item where the shortest dimension is 20" in circumference would Example: require a SafePASS ™ that is at least 10" wide; 20 divided by 2 equals 10.
The most efficient SafePASS The for this example would be model 1211 or 1211R
