Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

  • Are these instrument trays designed for single-use or can they be reused in a clinical setting?

    These trays are explicitly designed for reuse in clinical settings. They are made of stainless steel and are intended to be sterilized repeatedly using prevacuum steam or high-temperature gravity steam methods, ensuring they remain safe for ongoing use in hospitals.

  • What sterilization methods are compatible with these instrument trays, and why?

    The trays are engineered specifically for prevacuum steam sterilization and high-temperature gravity steam sterilization. This design ensures that all contents inside receive optimal exposure to the sterilant, maintaining efficacy and preventing contamination during the sterilization cycle.

  • How are these trays regulated, and what does that mean for their use in hospitals?

    These trays are regulated under the FDA’s 510(k) clearance process (K092551) and are classified under product code KCT for surgical instrument trays. The clearance confirms they meet FDA standards for reusable medical devices intended for hospital use, as reviewed by the General Hospital Advisory Committee.

  • Are these trays suitable for organizing and transporting instruments in any clinical environment, or are they limited to specific settings?

    While the trays are intended for hospital use, their design—reusable stainless steel with steam sterilization compatibility—makes them suitable for any clinical setting where organized storage and transport of reusable surgical instruments are required, such as operating rooms, endoscopy suites, or procedure rooms.
