Read the full statement (178 words)
The Intuitive Surgical Endoscope Sterilization Tray is intended for use to encase and protect compatible da Vinci Xi endoscopes for sterilization in any of the following sterilization machines/cycles:
* STERRAD 100NX sterilization system using the Express cycle
* STERRAD 100S sterilization system using the Standard cycle
* Steris V-PRO maX using the Non Lumen, Flexible, or Lumen cycles
* Steris V-PRO 1 Plus using the Non Lumen or Lumen cycles
* Steris V-PRO 1 using the V-PRO/Lumen cycle
The sterilization cycle parameters of the sterilizers are preset by the manufacturers and are not adjustable. The maximum product load per tray is one da Vinci Xi Endoscope. The length of the da Vinci Xi Endoscope is approximately 600 mm and the diameter of the shaft is 8.8 mm. The maximum weight of the tray and endoscope is 8.9 Ibs. The Endoscope Sterilization Tray is not intended to maintain sterility; it is intended to be used in conjunction with a legally marketed, validated, FDA-cleared STERRAD and Steris compatible sterilization wrap in order to maintain sterility of the enclosed medical instrument.
