Indications for Use
Gemini Sterilization Wraps are 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 such content until used. Gemini Sterilization Wrap is validated for use in steam or STERRAD sterilization processes in the following sterilization modes and cycles:
Device Story
Gemini Sterilization Wrap consists of square or rectangular sheets of five-layer SSMMS (spunbond-spunbond-meltblown-meltblown-spunbond) polypropylene fabric. Used by healthcare providers to wrap medical devices prior to sterilization; requires double-wrapping technique. Protects contents during steam or STERRAD sterilization processes and maintains sterility during storage. Available in five weights (Lightweight to Super Heavyweight) to accommodate varying load sizes and types, including metal masses and lumens. Healthcare providers select appropriate wrap model based on load weight and sterilization cycle. Benefits include maintaining aseptic conditions for sterilized instruments until point of use. Shelf life is two years post-steam sterilization and 180 days post-STERRAD sterilization.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing included maintenance of sterility (package integrity) for steam (2 years) and STERRAD (180 days), sterilant penetration, and biocompatibility (ISO 10993-10). Physical properties tested per ASTM/AATCC standards (air permeability, basis weight, burst strength, water penetration, tensile/tear strength) on lightest and heaviest weights pre- and post-STERRAD exposure. All tests passed.
Technological Characteristics
Five-layer SSMMS polypropylene fabric; contains <2% phthalocyanine blue and <0.35% titanium dioxide. Dimensions 12"x12" to 54"x90". Single-use. Tested per ASTM D737-04, D3776, D3786, D5034, D5587 and AATCC 127. Sterilization via steam (pre-vacuum/gravity) or STERRAD (50, 200S, 100NX DUO).
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by healthcare providers to enclose medical devices for sterilization and to maintain sterility of the contents until use. Validated for steam and STERRAD sterilization processes.

Dear Ms. Jennifer Mason:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

1 Individual results may differ due to factors such as variations in handling practices, wrapping techniques, and folding methods. Results may also differ due to the use of irregularly shaped contents, which may put added stress on the wrap. Each healthcare facility should determine for itself which wrap model is most appropriate for each intended use.
2 It is recommended to not exceed the maximum wrapped package content weights indicated for each wrap model. Furthermore, it is recommended to not exceed the number, weight, and size of individual content types that were validated for the Gemini Sterilization Wraps (i.e .: the weight of the metal mass).

As previously described in K113353, Gemini Sterilization Wrap is offered to the marketplace as bulk packages of single ply sheets for use by customers in accordance with standard hospital practices which require that two sheets are used each time a medical device or collection of medical devices are wrapped.
Gemini Sterilization Wrap items are square or rectangular sheets of fabric produced using a five-layer SSMMS (spunbond-spunbond-meltblown-meltblown-spunbond) process.
The standard blue wrap fabric is made of polypropylene with the addition of less than 2% of phthalocyanine blue pigmentation and less than 0.35% titanium dioxide white pigmentation. The wrap allows for aseptic opening of the sterilized package.
Gemini Sterilization Wrap is available in sizes ranging from 12"x12" to 54"x90" across the five different material weights/models.

# Discussion of Similarities and Differences
The proposed Gemini Sterilization Wrap is substantially equivalent in intended use, materials, device features / specifications and function in comparison to the predicate (K113353) Gemini Sterilization Wrap. As noted in the table above, these characteristic comparisons render the devices identical. The difference between subject/predicate devices is related to:
- Maintenance of Sterility (Shelf Life): Extending the maintenance of sterility from 180 days to two years for steam sterilization based on real time stability studies. The completed stability studies were identical to the in-process stability studies described within K113353.
- Addition of STERRAD® Systems: STERRAD® 50 Cycle, STERRAD® 200 S Cycle and STERRAD® 100NX™ Duo Cycle.
This product modification involving the subject and predicate devices does not significantly alter the Gemini Sterilization Wrap or raise questions regarding safety or effectiveness.
Information within this Premarket Notification demonstrates that there are no significant differences in technological characteristics between Medline's Gemini Sterilization Wrap and the cited predicate device K113353.

# Summary of Non-Clinical Testing
### TABLE 9: Summary of Performance Testing
| Study | Performance Results | |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------|
| Maintenance of<br>Sterility ( Package<br>Integrity) | Steam Pre-Vacuum & Steam Gravity Cycles<br>(Real Time Event Related Two Years Shelf<br>Life) | Passed |
| | STERRAD® (Real Time Event Related 180<br>Days Shelf Life) | Passed |
| Pre-Vacuum Steam and Gravity Sterilant Penetration | | Passed |
| STERRAD® 50 Cycle, STERRAD® 200 S Cycle and<br>STERRAD® 100NX™ DUO Cycle) Sterilant Penetration | | Passed |
| Post Sterilization Biocompatibility Testing (Primary Skin Irritation<br>Testing - ISO 10993-10) | | Passed |
The following performance testing was conducted on the lightest weight and the heaviest weight Gemini Sterilization Wrap both pre-sterilization and after exposure to a STERRAD® 100NX™ DUO cycle.
Air permeability - per ASTM D737-04 R2012 Basis weight - per ASTM D3776 Material burst strength - per ASTM D3786 Resistance to water penetration - per AATCC127 Tensile strength and elongation - per ASTM D5034 Tear strength - per ASTM D5587
The safety and effectiveness of Medline's Gemini Sterilization Wrap is adequately supported by the substantial equivalence information, materials information, and Design Control activities referenced within this Premarket Notification.
# Summary of Clinical Testing
Not applicable.
# Basis for Determination of Substantial Equivalence/Conclusion
Based on the intended use, technological characteristics, performance data, and nonclinical tests performed, the subject Gemini Sterilization Wrap are substantially equivalent to, and are as safe and as effective as, the legally marketed predicate device, Gemini Sterilization Wrap, cleared under K113353 under regulation 21 CFR 880.6850, product code FRG.
