DEVICE: Sterrad (10705037016532)

A device, typically in the form of a paper sheet, envelope, bag, wrap, or similar, intended to be used to contain medical devices that are to be sterilized. It is designed to allow sterilization of the enclosed medical device and also to maintain sterility of the device until the packaging is opened for use of the device, or until a predetermined shelf date is expired. This is a single-use device.

A sterilization indicator designed to be placed within a sterilizing chamber, and to respond with a characteristic chemical and/or physical change (non-electrical) to one or more of the physical conditions within the chamber, to validate the sterilization process. It may be presented in one of a variety of forms (e.g., tape, test pack, tag). This is a single-use device.

A mains electricity (AC-powered) device heated by electrical currents passing through a heating block containing simple resistors (usually coils of nickel-chromium wire) for the purpose of growing microorganisms and cells that require oxygen (O2) for growth. Aerobic incubators are typically used for serology and crystallization studies, tissue culture work, paraffin wax embedding and in vitro fertilization (IVF).

A container intended to provide a suitable platform for placing/containing many medical/surgical/dental instruments and related items for use during a clinical procedure; it might, in addition, be used during, but not dedicated to, reprocessing/sterilization procedures. It is a receptacle in one of a variety of designs, typically with moulded positions for placing the instruments; it might include a lid and/or removable identification tags. This is a reusable device.

A sterilization indicator consisting of a standardized, viable population of microorganisms (e.g., bacterial spores known to be resistant to the mode of sterilization being monitored) that will display a change when exposed to an effective sterilization outcome indicating that sterilization parameters have been met. This is a single-use device.
