No
The device description and intended use are solely focused on a physical container system for sterilization, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
No
The device is a sterilization container system, not a device used for therapy, diagnosis, or treatment. It is intended to contain and allow sterilization of other medical devices.
No
This device is a sterilization container system, not a diagnostic device. It is used to hold other medical devices for sterilization and transportation, and does not perform any diagnostic functions.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components (container bottoms, baskets, lids) and the intended use involves physical processes (sterilization, storage, transport). There is no mention of software as a component or function of the device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for containing other medical devices for sterilization and storage. It does not mention any use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body for the purpose of providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
- Device Description: The description details a system of containers, baskets, and lids designed for sterilization packaging. It does not describe any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the sterilization efficacy, sterility maintenance, and load capacity of the container system. They do not involve any testing related to diagnostic accuracy or the analysis of biological specimens.
IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine human specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for medical purposes. This device is a sterilization and storage system for other medical devices, which is a different category of medical device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Miltex Rigid Sterilization Container System is intended for use in hospitals and health care facilities to contain other medical devices that are to be sterilized and to allow sterilization of the enclosed medical devices, including surfaces and lumens, using gravity steam sterilizers. The recommended gravity steam sterilization cycle parameters are 45 minutes exposure at 121 deg C and a 20 minute dry time. 2 metal lumens 3-mm in diameter and up to 200-mm in length were validated. The container is intended for use with non-porous materials such as stainless steel surgical instruments.
For effective sterilization and drying, the weight of the single container, basket and basket contents should not exceed the following: 16 lbs for the one-half size container, 20 lbs for the three-quarter size container, and 25 lbs for the full size container.
Sterilized devices may be stored and transported within the container. The container is intended to maintain sterility for a maximum of 60 days as long as the integrity of the container has not been compromised.
Containers should not be stacked when used within gravity steam sterilizers.

Dear Dr. Patricia Kihn:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Page 2 -- Dr. Patricia Kihn
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
