The load configurations listed in these tables are those used during testing validations of the sterilizer. These configurations follow AAMI Standard ST8: Hospital steam sterilizers where {3}------------------------------------------------ applicable (fabric packs are process challenge devices as described in ANSI/AAMI ST8 and were made to be consistent with the packs described in ANSI/AAMI ST8). - For guidance on processing loads in the sterilizer, refer to AAMI Standard ST79: Comprehensive guide to steam sterilization and sterility assurance in health care facilities. - 2. Vacuum leak test parameters are not adjustable. - Cooldown rate 3. - 4. . At the end of an immediate use cycle, PREVAC 2 cycle, PREVAC 3 cycle, or a PREVAC 5 cycle items may NOT be dry. Drying time may be added if required. - 5. User facility must validate the cycle if the load includes containers larger than 1000 mL. - 6. Use vented or open containers only. - 7. The recommended minimum exposure time and temperature for unwrapped, nonporous, flash cycle loads (e.g. metal instruments) is 3 minutes at 275°F (135°C) or 4 minutes at 270°C (132°C). - 8. A small load of one-liter containers requires an exposure time of 45 min. ## Intended Use: The Getinge 400HC-E/500HC-E Series Steam Sterilizer is intended for use by health care facilities and to be used to sterilize wrapped and unwrapped porous and nonporous heat and moisture stable items such as surgical instruments and linens by means of pressurized steam. #### Comparisons to Predicate Device: Similarities between the Getinge 400HC-E/500HC-E Series Steam Sterilizer and the identified predicates are: - . Intended use is the same: Intended for use by health care facilities to sterilize wrapped and unwrapped, porous and nonporous heat and moisture stable items such as surgical instruments and linens by means of pressurized steam. - Operating Principle is the same: Saturated steam is the sterilizing agent. ● - Materials of construction are the same: Vessel material is Stainless Steel SA240-316Ti. There is no direct patient contact associated with this device. - . Cycle Types: The cycle types offered are the same; Prevac (135°C, 132°C), Gravity (121°C, 135°C), Immediate Use (135°C) and Liquids 121°C (not for sterilization of liquids used directly for patient contact). - Performance Testing: Factory recommended cycles were tested per industry ● standards and guidelines and effectiveness of sterilizer function was demonstrated by complete kill of biological indicators. Getinge Sterilizers have been validated to meet the requirements of ANSI/AAMI ST8:2008 Hospital Steam Sterilizers. {4}------------------------------------------------ The differences between the Getinge 400HC-E/500HC-E Series Steam Sterilizer and the predicate devices are: - The Getinge 400HC-E/500HC-E Series Steam Sterilizer provides the addition . of 132°C Prevac cycles and a touch screen user interface as cleared on the 700HC-E Series Steam Sterilizer as K120441. # Summary of Performance Testing: Factory recommended cycles were tested per industry standards and quidelines and effectiveness of sterilizer function was demonstrated by complete kill of biological indicators. Getinge Sterilizers have been validated to meet the requirements of ANSI/AAMI ST8:2008 Hospital Steam Sterilizers. The results of Getinge 400HC-E/500HC-E Series Steam Sterilizer validation testing demonstrate that the sterilizer performs as intended. Summary of testing: - . Empty chamber testing performed for all cycles as described in ANSI/AAMI ST8:2008 Hospital Steam Sterilizers section 5.4.2.5. The results demonstrated that the sterilizer is capable of providing steady-state thermal conditions within the chamber that are consistent with the predicated sterility assurance level (SAL) in the load. - All PREVAC and GRAVITY cycles were validated using fabric process . challenge packs as described in ANSI/AAMI ST8:2008 section 5.5.2. The results from this testing demonstrated a sterility assurance level of at least 10° through achievement of time at temperature sufficient to produce an Fo value of at least 12, complete Bl kill and moisture retention of less than 3% increase in pre-sterilization test pack weight including no visible wet spots. - All PREVAC (excluding PREVAC 2 and PREVAC 5 that have shortened drying . times) and GRAVITY cycles were validated using wrapped instrument process challenge devices as described in ANSI/AAMI ST8.2008 section 5.5.4. The results from this testing demonstrated a sterility assurance level of at least 10° through achievement of time at temperature sufficient to produce an Fo value of at least 12, complete BI kill and moisture retention of less than 20% increase in pre-sterilization weight of the towel including no visible wet spots on the outer wrapper. - All Immediate Use (Flash) cycles were validated using a unwrapped non-. porous process challenge device as described in ANSI/AAMI ST8:2008 section 5.5.5. The results from this testing demonstrated a sterility assurance level of at least 106 through achievement of time at temperature sufficient to produce an Fo value of at least 12 and complete BI kill. - Liquid loads cycles were validated using 3 one liter flasks as described in . ANSI/AAMI ST8:2008 section 5.5.3. The results from this testing demonstrated a sterility assurance level of at least 108 through achievement of time at temperature sufficient to produce an Fo value of at least 12, complete Bl kill and water loss not exceeding 50ml. {5}------------------------------------------------ Getinge Sourcing LLC FDA 510(k) Summary Device: 400HC-E/500HC-E Series Steam Sterilizer - Bowie Dick cycle was validated using the Bowie-Dick test pack as described in .
