## CLINICAL DATA:
No clinical data is required for this device classification submission.
### SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE TESTING:
Belimed validates its sterilization cycles by recommended practices, standards and quidelines developed by various independent organizations such as the Association for Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). Prior to release, Belimed Steam Sterilizer MST-H were validated to meet the requirements of ANSI/AAMI ST8:2013.
The results of the Belimed Steam Sterilizer MST-H verification studies demonstrate that the sterilizer performs as intended and is summarized as follows:
- The Prevac cycle where the maximum tray capacity is changing to 25 lbs. was qualified according to AAMI ST8:2013 section 5.5.4. This cycle demonstrated a sterility assurance level of at least 10° through achievement of a time-at-temperature sufficient to produce an F0 of at least 12 minutes by half cycle, moisture retention of less than 20% increase in pre-sterilization weight of the towel, and exhibited no wet spots on the outer wrapper.
- The Immediate Use Gravity cycle where the maximum tray capacity is changing from 17 lbs. to 25 lbs. was qualified according to AAMI ST8:2013 section 5.5.5.1.
# STANDARDS USED:
Belimed's sterilizers, including the Belimed Steam Sterilizer MST-H, models 9-6-12, and 9-6-18, have been designed and constructed to meet the safety and performance requirements of various national safety codes and standards.
