No
The document describes a standard steam sterilizer with factory-programmed cycles and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities. The performance studies focus on sterilization efficacy based on established standards.

No.
The device is a sterilizer for medical instruments and materials, not a device used for diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease in patients.

No

This device is a sterilizer, designed to clean and sterilize medical instruments and materials, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device is a steam sterilizer, which is a piece of hardware designed to sterilize medical materials. While it contains software for cycle operation, it is fundamentally a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the Belimed Steam Sterilizer TOP 5000, model 5-5-9, is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the sterilization of medical devices and materials used in healthcare facilities. This is a process applied to medical devices themselves, not a test performed on biological samples to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics and function of a steam sterilizer, which is a piece of equipment used for disinfection/sterilization.
  • 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
    • Measuring analytes

The device is clearly intended for the sterilization of medical instruments and materials, which falls under the category of medical devices used for processing and preparing other medical devices for use.

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

Efficacy of sterilizer function and exposure time recommendations ate ultimately shown by complete kill of biological indicators and verifying an appropriate safety factor or sterility assurance level (SAL) of at least 10 ° reduction. SAUTER AG vaiidates its sterilization cycles by recommented bractions, standards and guidelines developed by various independent organizations such as the Association, for Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). Prior to release, the Belilizer TOP 5000 were validated to meet the requirements of AAMI/ANSI-ST8-2001.

The results of the Belimed Steam Sterilizer TOP 5000 verification studies demonstrate that the sterilizer performs as intended and are summarized as follows:

  • All PREVAC cycles verified using the fabric test pack, as described in Section 5.5.2 AAMI/ANSI-. ST8:2001 were qualified according to section 5.5.2.5 ANSI/AAMI-ST8. These cycles demonstrated a sterlity assurance level of at least 10f through achievement of a time-at-temperature sufficient to produce an F0 of at least 12 by ½ cycle, a moisture retention of tess than 3% increase in presterilization test pack weight, and exhibited no wet spots.
  • All PREVAC cycles verified using full load instruments trays were qualified according to section 5.5.4 . of ANSI/AAMI-ST8: 2001. These cycles demonstrated a sterility assurance level of at least 10through achievement of a time-at-temperature sufficient to produce an F0 of a least 10 by 10 vole, a moisture retention of less than 20% increase in pre-sterilization weight of the towel, and exhibited no wet spots on the outer wrapper.
  • All FLASH cycles verified using the unwrapped instrument tray were qualified according to section . 5.5.5.1 AAMI/ANSI-ST8:2001 and ANSI/AAMI ST37:1996 section 7.7.3 . These cycles demonstrated a sterility assurance level of at least 106 through achievement of a time-attemperature sufficient to produce an F0 of at least 12 by ½ cycle and exhibited no we's spos.
  • All LIQUID cycles verified using three 1'000 ml flasks, as described in section 5.5.3 of AAMI/ANSI-. ST8:2001, were qualified according to section 5.5.3.5. These cycles demonstrated a sterility assurance level of at least 10-6 through achievement of a time-at-temperature sufficient to produce an FO of at least 12 by ½ cycle, a water loss not exceeding 50 ml, and automatic sealing of the flask closure. A temperature of 121°C was achieved and maintained in the ligulation of the liquid for at least 12 minutes.
  • The BD cycle was verified using the Bowie-Dick Test Pack were qualified according to section 5.6 of . AAMI/ANSI-ST8, and demonstrated a uniform color change throughout the teost sheet.
  • The software validation for the cycle operation was performed according to FDA's moderate level of . concern recommendations provided in the document "Guidance for the Content for Pre-market Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices (May 2005)".

SAFETY:

SAUTER AG sterilizers including the Belimed Steam Sterilizer TOP 5000 have been designed, constructed and tested to meet the safety and performance requirements of various national safety codes and standards. The Belimed Steam Sterilizer TOP 5000 complies with the following requirements:

.

HAZARDS-FAILURE OF PERFORMANCES

Failure of the sterilization process can lead to incidence of cross contamination, the transmission of potentially infectious organisms from one infected person to another who was not otherwise infected prior to the incident.

To avoid failure, the user must ensure the materials, instruments and devices to be sterilized are thoroughly cleaned, that the manufacturer's instructions for use are followed., that the cycle to be used for each type of sterilizer load has been validated, that the sterilizer has been maintained in accordance with the sterilizer's manufacturer's maintenance schedule and is operating properly, and that each sterilizer load is monitored with available and validated biological and chemical sterilization process indicators.

Today, there are many steam sterilizers in daily use in hospitals throughout the United States. The incident of sterilizer malfunction or sterilization process failure is relatively rare considering the wide spread use of steam sterilizers. Further, there are no known reports in the literature of patient infection that have resulted from steam sterilizer failure. The technology designed in Belimed Steam Sterilizer TOP 5000 provides microprocessor controller safeguards that aborts the cvcle and give appropriate signals, alerts and warnings when required conditions have not been met or when a malfunction occurs.
