STERIS (NYSE:STE) has obtained 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on two new sterilization devices and one clearance for a minor enhancement on an existing product. Details of the new products were fairly sketchy, as a STERIS spokesman declined to provide much information until after the products are launched at an unspecified time. But a look at a list of September 510(k) clearances on the FDA’s website provided a few details. One new product is a small steam sterilizer called the Chimeron that’s part of the Mentor, Ohio, company’s Amsco product line. The device was assigned to an FDA gastroenterology and urology advisory committee.
