Device Description:
Summit Medical Inc. InstruSafe Instrument Protection Systems are cassettes / trays used to enclose and hold surgical instruments
and instrument accessories in an organized manner during the sterilization process and subsequent storage and transportation. The
cassettes / trays do not have direct patient contact. The cassettes / trays by themselves do not maintain sterility. The cassettes / trays
are different sizes of the same basic configuration: a rectangular base with latchable cover. The cassettes / trays have perforations
to allow sterilant penetration. The cassettes / trays contain silicone inserts in the base and/or cover to hold, organize and protect the
surgical instruments within the cassette / tray during the sterilization process and subsequent storage and transportation.
