No
The summary describes a standard steam sterilizer with pre-programmed cycles and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

No
The device is a sterilizer for medical and dental instruments, not a device used for treating patients.

No
The device is a sterilizer intended for heat and moisture resistant medical and dental instruments, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device is described as a gravity table-top steam sterilizer, which is a physical piece of equipment with hardware components like a chamber, compressor, and filter. The description and testing summary clearly indicate it is a hardware device with integrated software for control.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as sterilizing medical and dental instruments and cloth packs. This is a process performed on medical devices themselves, not on biological samples from a patient to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The description details a steam sterilizer, which is a piece of equipment used for disinfection/sterilization, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health
    • Using reagents or assays

Therefore, the iMax 9.5 DS Sterilizer is a medical device used for sterilization, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Software and performance testing was conducted to determine the safety and effectiveness of the proposed iMax 9.5 DS Sterilizer for its' intended use. The testing included electrical safety testing, electromagnetic compatibility testing and physical testing to ensure that all design requirements were fulfilled. Biological testing was conducted to verify the sterilization efficacy of the preprogrammed process parameters. Additional testing was conducted using both laboratory-inoculated and clinically contaminated dental handpieces to confirm that the iMax 9.5 Sterilizers could be used for the sterilization of complex lumened devices. The results confirm that the iMax 9.5 DS Sterilizer is safe and effective for the sterilization of steam-compatible medical and dental instruments, including dental handpieces.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE 6.

Both the proposed and predicate devices are gravity-fed microprocessorcontrolled table top steam sterilizers consisting of a sterilization chamber with a water storage and transport system, heating elements for steam generation, and a valve system for exhausting air and steam for the chamber. Differences in the technical features between the proposed and predicate devices are limited to minor differences in chamber volume, dimensions, etc.

PERFORMANCE TESTING 7.

Software and performance testing was conducted to determine the safety and effectiveness of the proposed iMax 9.5 DS Sterilizer for its' intended use. The testing included electrical safety testing, electromagnetic compatibility testing and physical testing to ensure that all design requirements were fulfilled. Biological testing was conducted to verify the sterilization efficacy of the preprogrammed process parameters. Additional testing was conducted using both laboratoryinoculated and clinically contaminated dental handpieces to confirm that the iMax 9.5 Sterilizers could be used for the sterilization of complex lumened devices.
