Indications for Use
The Stryker T4 Hytrel Zipper Toga is a component of a personal protection system that is intended to provide a barrier between the operating environment and the members of the surgical team in order to help protect against contamination and/or exposure of infectious body fluids and harmful microorganisms.
Device Story
The Stryker T4 Hytrel Zipper Toga is a component of the Stryker Personal Protection System, which includes a ventilation helmet, hood, toga, and rechargeable battery. The toga serves as a protective barrier for surgical team members in the operating room. It is designed to prevent contact with infectious body fluids and microorganisms. The device functions as a physical shield; it does not involve electronic processing or clinical decision-making outputs.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Equivalence was established through laboratory testing of material properties including viral penetration, synthetic blood penetration, water resistance (impact penetration and hydrostatic pressure), flammability, and tear resistance.
Technological Characteristics
The device is a surgical gown (toga) constructed from Hytrel material. It functions as a physical barrier component of a personal protection system. It does not utilize energy sources, software, or connectivity. Sterilization and specific ASTM standards are not detailed in the provided text.
Indications for Use
Indicated for members of the surgical team to provide a barrier against contamination and exposure to infectious body fluids and microorganisms in the operating environment.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Surgical apparel are devices that are intended to be worn by operating room personnel during surgical procedures to protect both the surgical patient and the operating room personnel from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. Examples include surgical caps, hoods, masks, gowns, operating room shoes and shoe covers, and isolation masks and gowns. Surgical suits and dresses, commonly known as scrub suits, are excluded.
Special Controls
*Classification.* (1) Class II (special controls) for surgical gowns and surgical masks. A surgical N95 respirator or N95 filtering facepiece respirator is not exempt if it is intended to prevent specific diseases or infections, or it is labeled or otherwise represented as filtering surgical smoke or plumes, filtering specific amounts of viruses or bacteria, reducing the amount of and/or killing viruses, bacteria, or fungi, or affecting allergenicity, or it contains coating technologies unrelated to filtration (e.g., to reduce and or kill microorganisms). Surgical N95 respirators and N95 filtering facepiece respirators are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 878.9, and the following conditions for exemption:(i) The user contacting components of the device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible. (ii) Analysis and nonclinical testing must: (A) Characterize flammability and be demonstrated to be appropriate for the intended environment of use; and (B) Demonstrate the ability of the device to resist penetration by fluids, such as blood and body fluids, at a velocity consistent with the intended use of the device. (iii) NIOSH approved under its regulation. (2) Class I (general controls) for surgical apparel other than surgical gowns and surgical masks. The class I device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 878.9.
