Indications for Use
The EZ-TRAX™ Zimmer G7 Acetabular System / Taperloc Complete Hip System Containment Device is intended for use as an accessory in healthcare facilities to organize, enclose, reprocess, transport, and store Zimmer G7 Acetabular System / Taperloc Complete Hip System devices between surgical uses. The EZ-TRAX™ Zimmer G7 Acetabular System / Taperloc Complete Hip System Containment Device is not intended on its own to maintain sterility; it is intended to be used in conjunction with a legally marketed, validated, FDA-cleared sterile barrier system.
Device Story
The EZ-TRAX™ is a sterilization cassette (tray system) used in healthcare facilities to organize and protect reusable surgical instruments (e.g., impactors, trials, reamers, broaches) during steam sterilization, transport, and storage. The device consists of a perforated anodized aluminum base and lid with stainless steel handles, aluminum dividers, and medical-grade thermoplastic polymer posts. It is not a sterile barrier itself and must be used with an FDA-cleared sterile barrier system. The device is processed in standard hospital autoclaves using dynamic air removal steam sterilization (270°F/132°C for 4 minutes). It protects internal components from damage and facilitates sterilant penetration through its perforated design. Healthcare providers use the tray to manage instrument sets, ensuring they are properly cleaned and sterilized before surgical procedures. The system supports safe handling and organization of orthopedic instrument sets, reducing the risk of damage during reprocessing cycles.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Validations included material compatibility (25 cycles), mechanical cleaning efficacy (hemoglobin <2.2 ug/cm2, protein <6.4 ug/cm2), MEM elution cytotoxicity, sterilization validation (SAL 10^-6), thermal profile, drying time, and mechanical handle strength (50 lbs force).
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Anodized aluminum, stainless steel, medical-grade thermoplastic polymers. Design: Perforated base/lid with locking latch. Sterilization: Dynamic air removal steam (132°C/270°F). Standards: AAMI ST77, AAMI ST8, AAMI TIR12, AAMI TIR30, ISO 10993-5, ISO 14937, ISO 17665-1, ASTM F32018, ASTM F3293. Connectivity: None (standalone).
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in healthcare facilities to organize, enclose, reprocess, transport, and store Zimmer G7 Acetabular System / Taperloc Complete Hip System reusable surgical instruments between surgical uses. Not intended to maintain sterility independently; must be used with an FDA-cleared sterile barrier system. Not for use with lumened devices.
Regulatory Classification
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.

Dear Joseph Azary:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal
{1}------------------------------------------------
statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
