Please refer to the company’s website for more information and for their FDA 510k listing and for access to the IFU.

Case Medical, Inc. follows the “overkill method” of sterility assurance to show an elimination of a biological challenge. All SteriTite containers were tested with inner baskets, trays and components representative of the MediTray® line of products. Testing was designed to simulate worst-case scenarios with half cycles utilized with end of shelf-life concentrations of hydrogen peroxide for low temperature sterilization. The validation testing was conducted at qualified laboratories in accordance with FDA guidance and available ANSI/AAMI standards such as ANSI/AAMI ST77, AAMI TIR 12 and ANSI/AMMI ST79
