Validated sterilization parameters include pre-vacuum steam and gravity. ## Device Story MIS Spine Frame Instrument Case (model 50000MSF) is a reusable container for storage, transport, and steam sterilization of surgical instruments (retractor blades, frame components, lighting accessories). Device consists of aluminum base, lid, and lift-out tray with silicone, aluminum, stainless steel, and nylon inserts. Features surface perforations for steam penetration; no gaskets, valves, or filters. Used in healthcare facilities; operated by clinical staff. Instruments are placed inside, the case is wrapped in an FDA-cleared sterilization wrap, and subjected to validated pre-vacuum or gravity steam sterilization cycles. Output is a sterile, organized set of instruments ready for surgical use. Benefits include protection of instruments during transport and maintenance of sterility post-processing. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing: sterilization efficacy (biological indicators showing 6-log reduction), cleaning validation, and biocompatibility (MEM elution test, non-cytotoxic). ## Technological Characteristics Materials: Aluminum (base, lid, tray), Silicone, Stainless Steel, Nylon (inserts). Design: Perforated lid/base/tray; vent-to-volume ratio 0.110. Sterilization: Steam (Pre-vacuum 132°C/4 min; Gravity 121°C/30 min). Dimensions: 11" x 23.5". Standards: AAMI ST77:2006. ## Regulatory Identification A sterilization wrap (pack, sterilization wrapper, bag, or accessories, is a device intended to be used to enclose another medical device that is to be sterilized by a health care provider. It is intended to allow sterilization of the enclosed medical device and also to maintain sterility of the enclosed device until used. ## Predicate Devices - Sonicision™ Sterilization Tray ([K131170](/device/K131170.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

50000MSF, is intended to hold surgical instruments such as retractor blades,
retractor frame components, lighting accessories, and blade or frame accessories
during storage, transportation, and sterilization, as indicated. It is composed of
materials that can be reused with steam sterilization methods and DCG graphics may
be used. It has a distribution of perforations on the outer surfaces and between case
levels that allow for optimal steam penetration. Vent to volume is .110. It is reusable | | | | | | | | | | | | | {4}------------------------------------------------ Submitter: Product: Thompson Surgical Instruments, MIS Spine Frame Instrument Case Inc. and provided to the customer in a non-sterile conditions. This case can be described as an accessory for the Thompson Retractor. Technological and The MIS Spine Frame Instrument Case was found to be similar to the predicate. Performance Three fundamental similarities are: Characteristics: Basic design: Both the MIS Spine Frame Instrument Case and the predicate 1. have a basic lid/base design with latches, handles, perforations, and contoured inserts or sections for containing items for sterilization, storage, and transport. General size, shape, weight, and materials are not identical but are similar. 2. Role in sterile barrier system: The MIS Spine Frame Instrument Case and the predicate must be enclosed with a qualified FDA cleared sterilization wrap to maintain sterility. Neither contains gaskets, valves, or filters. 3. Fundamental Technology: The MIS Spine Frame Instrument Case and the predicate allow the sterilant (steam) to penetrate and render its contents sterile by relying on surface perforations. > Primary differences are related to minor variances in size, shape, intended contents, surface perforations, and overall look. However, performance data demonstrate that the differences do not adversely affect safety and effectiveness. Please see further comparison below. | | Proposed: MIS Spine Frame

Test evidence supporting sterilization efficacy, cleaning, and biocompatibility are provided in the submission. A brief discussion of tests used to support the conclusion of substantial equivalence with the predicate device is provided below. Sterilization efficacy: The MIS Spine Frame Instrument Case and the predicate containing the maximum load were inoculated with biological indicators placed in areas of the trays deemed to be most difficult for sterilant (steam) to penetrate. Following inoculation, the trays were wrapped in FDA cleared sterilization wraps. {6}------------------------------------------------ | Submitter:

reduction of the indicator organism. | | | | Cleaning: The MIS Spine Frame Instrument Case was tested for cleanability. The
results indicated a pass. Supporting evidence is included in the submission. | | | | Biocompatibility: The MIS Spine Frame Instrument Case is considered non-cytotoxic
as based on MEM elution test results. Supporting evidence is found in the
