More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes instrument trays for sterilization and storage, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is an instrument tray designed for containing, protecting, and facilitating the sterilization of surgical instruments, not for directly treating a medical condition.

No
The device is described as instrument trays used for storage, sterilization, and transport of surgical instruments. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is an instrument tray, which is a physical hardware component used for containing and sterilizing surgical instruments.

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 trays are for containing, storing, sterilizing, and transporting reusable surgical instruments. This is related to the processing and handling of surgical tools, not the testing of biological samples or the diagnosis of diseases.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces the purpose of containing and protecting surgical instruments during processing.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, providing diagnostic information, or being used in a laboratory setting for testing purposes.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.
