The product is Steris’ V-PRO maX 2 Low Temperature Sterilization System, which is a sterilization system with a specialty cycle. 

It “can effectively sterilize surgical instruments such as patient-specific surgical guides … and anatomical models that are fabricated via 3D printing processes and that are intended for single-use during operative procedures,” the FDA said.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
