Component selection was carefully performed to select materials that have appropriate electrical safety rating, fire safety rating, and to be compatible with select FDA cleared HLDs.
# Differences
Both reprocessors are derived from the same base unit (identical software, electronics, plumbing, valves, sensors, warming pad, cabinet, etc.) which is configurable to become either a er demand. To configure a base unit, TEE and VR specific components (e.g. disinfection chamber, chamber door, cable holder, etc.) are
used to accommodate the differences between TEE and VR ultrasound probe geometries.
# Device Operational Overview
The ASTRA Product Family of automated reprocessors are designed to control the temperature of the high-level liquid disinfectant (HLD), the disinfection time, and the rinse cycles used to
automatically loads the appropriate preset parameters based on the barcode of the scanned HLD bottle. After the probes are enzymatically pre-cleaned per hospital protocol, reprocessing in the ASTRA is initiated through the use of a simple user interface. The operator presses Enter to start the cycle and uses the onboard barcode reader to scan and load 1 or 2 probes and to s MRC status at the next prompt. The user will
on completion of the disinfection cycle. The
ASTRA systems use select FDA cleared high-level liquid disinfectant to safely and effectively disinfect medical devices. By automating the disinfection process through validated software and hardware, the ASTRA Product Family of automated reprocessors help users improve their disinfection outcomes by controlling and tracking the critical process parameters and recording the key operational data.
The GUS ASTRA TEE and GUS ASTRA VR are automated reprocessors which are identical with the exception of the disinfection chamber configuration necessary to compensate for two different types of ultrasound probes. The GUS ASTRA TEE is an automated reprocessor which enables high-level disinfection and rinsing for transesophageal (TEE) ultrasound probes. The GUS ASTRA VR is an automated reprocessor which enables high-level disinfection and rinsing for endovaginal and/or endorectal ultrasound probes.

Both ASTRA systems utilize predefined programs based upon the high-level liquid disinfectant (HLD) used during the disinfection and potable water rinsing cycles. The system controls the HLD temperature and cycle times which are fixed, no user configuration is available. The device will perform the defined automated disinfection and rinsing cycles based upon the HLD specifications. The microprocessor controlled interface monitors temperature and liquid levels of the HLD in the disinfection chamber and the reservoir. Optical sensors are used for HLD reservoir presence and probe identification. Additional user inputs include unique probe identification (for disinfection records) and the results entry of the Minimum Recommended Concentration (MRC) test using test strips and minimum concentration levels as defined by the HLD manufacturer. A sensor located on the disinfection chamber door is used to initiate the cycle after the user has input the required information. User retrievable data/information regarding reprocessing is accessible through a USB port.
# Performance Characteristics
The ASTRA Product Family of automated reprocessors utilizes the same technology and highlevel disinfection approach employed by the predicate device, the TD-100 cleared under K051305. It should be noted that TD-100 system is comprised of the instrument and proprietary TD-5 HLD. The TD-100 controls time, temperature, and rinse parameters using the TD-5 proprietary HLD to achieve a ≥6 Log reduction. The ASTRA controls time, temperature, and rinse parameters to facilitate a ≥6 Log reduction by the FDA approved HLD. As a result, this submission primarily focuses on the performance specification of the instrument and controls (time, temperature, and rinse) common to both devices.
The ASTRA system and the TD-100 both control the HLD temperature, soak time, and rinse cycle to facilitate ≥6 Log reduction of M. terrae on enzymatically cleaned probes.
