## Indications for use
The Genesis(TM) Low Temperature Reusable Rigid Sterilization Container System is a device intended to be used to enclose another medical device that is to be sterilized by a healthcare provider. It allows sterilization of the enclosed medical device and maintains sterility of the enclosed device until used for a maximum of 180 days. Containers are suitable for various STERRAD and V-PRO low temperature sterilization modalities when used as described in the instructions for use. Reusable baskets and accessory items (pins, dividers, mats, etc.) are intended to organize and secure enclosed medical devices during sterilization and storage of the container. Data cards are used to record information regarding a specific sterilization process load. Filter media allows ingress and egress of sterilant while providing a microbial barrier. Tamper evident arrows provide a visual indication that the container system has not been inadvertently opened prior to use. Each arrow contains a modality-specific external process indicator that serves as a visual indication that the system has been exposed to a specific sterilization cycle parameter. Data cards, filters and tamper evident arrows are single use only.
