Intended Use
The DDS 7000 is a countertop convective dry heat sterilizer designed for use in Healthcare facilities for the sterilization of un-bagged dental instruments that can withstand exposure temperatures up to 216°C (420° F). There is a single software-controlled cycle that includes a warm-up and cool down phase in addition to the 3-minute sterilization (exposure) phase. Sterilize (exposure) starts when the RTD/control temperature reaches the operating temperature set point of 190°C (374° F). Complete cycle times average 34-44 minutes and are load dependent. The DDS 7000 achieves optimum results by uniform load distribution utilizing a dedicated rack and tray system as detailed below. 1) Maximum recommended loads validated for the DDS 7000-115 sterilizer: - a) Maximum load for a four (4)-rack configuration is four (4) plier racks each holding nine (9) orthodontic pliers each for a total of thirty-six (36) pliers. Other maximum load configuration options are: 32 pliers on eight mini vertical racks; or 20 pliers and hand instruments on four Combo Racks -(OR)- b) Maximum load for a full tray configuration is one (1) Horizontal Tray each holding up to six (6) orthodontic pliers or up to (12) single-handle hand instruments. Other maximum load combinations include: (5) orthodontic pliers with up to (2) single-handle hand instruments; or (4) orthodontic pliers with up to (4) single-handle hand instruments; or (3) orthodontic pliers with up to (6) single-handle hand instruments, or (2) Orthodontic pliers with up to (8) single-handle hand instruments; or (1) Orthodontic pliers with up to (10) single-handle hand instruments. - (OR)- c) Maximum load for the one (1) half tray and two (2) racks is one (1) Half Tray holding three (3) Orthodontic pliers or six (6) single-handle hand instruments in combination with two (2) plier racks capable of holding nine (9) pliers each for a total of eighteen (18) pliers on plier racks. Other maximum load combinations include: (2) orthodontic pliers with up to (2) single-handle hand instruments in combination with two (2) plier racks capable of holding nine (9) pliers each for a total of eighteen (18) pliers on plier racks; or (1) orthodontic pliers with up to (4) singlehandle hand instruments in combination with two (2) plier racks capable of holding nine (9) pliers each for a total of eighteen (18) pliers on plier racks.
Device Description
The DDS 7000, like the DDS 5000 is a convective dry heat batch sterilizer capable of sterilizing un-bagged dental instruments and cooling them for immediate use. It is designed for use with a dedicated rack system that provides for uniform loading to achieve optimum load distribution. The DDS 7000 is equipped with a replaceable HEPA filter to comply with ANSI/AAMI ST50: 2004 cooling requirements. The HEPA filter has a filtration efficiency of 99.7% for 0.3-micron particles. The DDS 7000 is a software-controlled device that allows for the user to preprogram options such as display units (Celsius or Fahrenheit), audible alarm enabled/disabled and safety interlock enabled/disabled The DDS 7000 monitors the entire cycle and will provide diagnostic error codes in the event of any failure or disruption to the sterilization cycle. A printable log is available for the most recently performed cycle that includes pass/fail notification and error codes if applicable
More Information

No
The description focuses on software control for pre-programmed options and monitoring, not adaptive learning or complex pattern recognition characteristic of AI/ML.

No

Explanation: The device is a sterilizer for dental instruments, designed to make them safe for use, not to treat any medical condition in a patient.

No
The DDS 7000 is a sterilizer designed to clean medical instruments, not to diagnose medical conditions or provide diagnostic information.

No

The device is a countertop sterilizer, which is a physical piece of equipment with hardware components (heating elements, RTD, HEPA filter, racks, trays, etc.), even though it is software-controlled.

Based on the provided text, the DDS 7000 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as a "countertop convective dry heat sterilizer designed for use in Healthcare facilities for the sterilization of un-bagged dental instruments." This describes a device used to sterilize medical instruments, not to perform tests on biological samples to diagnose conditions.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the sterilization process, temperature control, filtration, and software features related to the sterilization cycle. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described are focused on the sterilization efficacy (killing spores and achieving a sterility assurance level), which is relevant to sterilization devices, not IVDs.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring analytes
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status
    • Using reagents or assays

Therefore, the DDS 7000 is a medical device used for sterilization, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

Temperature studies were performed on full, partial and empty chambers. Performance testing of the DDS 7000 was performed using Bacillus atrophaeus spore strips and inoculated tools using the same organism. Half cycle kills result in an overall 12-log reduction of spores and thus produces a 106 sterility assurance level (SAL). This testing showed that the DDS 7000 is as safe and effective and performs as well if not better than the predicate device (DDS 5000).
