Device Class
Class 2
Indications for Use
The Olympic Pasteurmatic 3000 and Olympic Pasteurmatic 3500 are intended for cleaning and high-level disinfection of respiratory therapy and anesthesia equipment by killing vegetative bacteria and viruses, in a hot water bath at ~160° -~170° F for 30 minutes.
Device Story
The Olympic Pasteurmatic 3000 and 3500 are medical washer-disinfectors for respiratory therapy and anesthesia equipment. The device uses a stainless steel tank and rotating baskets to immerse parts in 160° - 170° F water for 30 minutes. The rotation forces water through tubes to displace air bubbles, ensuring contact for high-level disinfection. The 3000 model features 9,000 watts of heating capacity, while the 3500 features 15,000 watts for faster heating. The system is operated by clinical staff in healthcare settings. It replaces electromechanical controls from the predicate with a digital user interface. The device benefits patients by providing high-level disinfection of reusable equipment, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing was conducted to demonstrate that the Pasteurmatic 3000 and 3500 meet or exceed the performance of the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Medical washer-disinfector; stainless steel tank and rotating basket construction; heating elements (9,000W for 3000 model, 15,000W for 3500 model); digital user interface; hot water immersion (160° - 170° F) disinfection principle.
Indications for Use
Indicated for cleaning and high-level disinfection of reusable and disposable respiratory therapy and anesthesia equipment via hot water immersion (160° - 170° F) for 30 minutes to kill vegetative bacteria and viruses.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

# Device Description 1.1.5
The Olympic Pasteurmatic 3000 and Olympic Pasteurmatic 3500 are used for the cleaning and high-level disinfection of reusable and disposable breathing circuit parts used in Respiratory Therapy and Anesthesia. Pasteurization kills pathogenic vegetative bacteria and viruses by immersion in water at 160° - 170° F for 30 minutes. Full immersion pasteurization has been identified by the Centers for Disease Control as suitable for high-level disinfection of all parts not used subcutaneously.
The Olympic Pasteurmatic 3000 and Olympic Pasteurmatic 3500 are identical systems with the exception of the heater capacity. The Pasteurmatic 3000 has three 3,000 watt heaters for a system capacity of 9,000 watts. The Pasteurmatic 3500 has three 5,000 watt heaters for a system capacity of 15,000
{1}------------------------------------------------
watts to allow more rapid heating of the water during the pasteurization cycle when used as a combined washerpasteurizer.
Both systems rotate stainless steel baskets of tubes and parts vertically in a stainless steel tank during both washing and pasteurizing. This forces water through the full length of the tubes and drives out all the air bubbles.
# 1.1.6 Intended Use
The Olympic Pasteurmatic 3000 and Olympic Pasteurmatic 3500 are intended for cleaning and high-level disinfection of respiratory therapy and anesthesia equipment by killing vegetative bacteria and viruses, in a hot water bath at ~160° -~170° F for 30 minutes.
## Comparison to Predicate Device 1.1.7
The Pasteurmatic 3000 and Pasteurmatic 3500 perform all the functions of the Olympic Pasteurmatic system using a digital user interface in place of the electromechanical timer and controls used in the predicate device. Additional convenience features have been added to the Pasteurmatic 3000 and Pasteurmatic 3500.
# 1.1.8 Summary of Comparison Tests
Tests were performed to demonstrate that the performance of the Pasteurmatic 3000 and Pasteurmatic 3500 meet or exceed that of the predicate device.
