Intended Use
The SklarLite™ Rigid Sterilization Container System is intended for use in hospitals and health care facilities to contain other medical devices that are to be sterilized. Containers allow sterilization of the enclosed medical devices, including surfaces and lumens, using high vacuum steam sterilizers at 270°F for 4 minutes with 30 minutes (minimum) dry time. The containers have been validated for sterilization of up to two instruments with lumens no smaller than 2.4 mm I.D. in diameter and no longer than 380 mm in length for the Full-Size (580mm x 280mm) and Mid-Size (465mm x 280mm) containers, and no smaller than 1.0 mm I.D. in diameter and no longer than 250 mm in length for the Half-Size (285mm x 280mm) containers have been validated for a combined maximum load of 25lbs. with up to two internal stacked baskets and up to two silicon mats (one mat per basket) for the Full-Size, Mid-Size and Half-Size containers. Both solid and perforated bottom containers, maximum depth 150mm/each, can be stacked a maximum of 3 containers high during sterilization. Sterilized devices may be stored and transported within the container. The container is intended to maintain sterility of the contents for up to six (6) months.
Device Description
The SklarLite" Rigid Sterilization Container System consists of a family of rigid, re-usable, stackable, sealed containers that provide an effective sterilization packaging method for medical devices. Container bottoms and lids, within a given size, are interchangeable. Containers can be fitted with safety lids, protecting filters during storage and/or transport. The system consists of the following components: - Container bottoms (both perforated and non-perforated versions) . - Container lids (both perforated and non-perforated_versions)_ . - Container baskets . - Container labels . - Disposable filters . The container system is designed for sterilant penetration through perforations in the lid and container bottom models that are perforated. Containers are offered in six colors. Filter media and sterilization indicator cards should be used in conjunction with the containers. Containers are protected by disposable plastic security seals.
More Information

No
The device is a rigid sterilization container system, a physical container for sterilizing other medical devices. The description focuses on its physical characteristics, sterilization process validation, and comparison to a predicate device, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

No.
This device is a sterilization container system intended to hold other medical devices for sterilization, storage, and transport, not to provide therapeutic treatment itself.

No

This device is a sterilization container system designed to hold other medical devices for sterilization, storage, and transport, not to diagnose medical conditions or analyze patient data.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as container bottoms, lids, baskets, labels, and disposable filters, indicating it is a hardware 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 that are to be sterilized" and for "sterilization of the enclosed medical devices." It is a sterilization packaging system.
  • Device Description: The description details the components of a rigid sterilization container system, including bottoms, lids, baskets, labels, and filters. These are all components related to the physical containment and sterilization of medical devices.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. IVDs are used on patient samples, not on other medical devices for sterilization.

The device's function is to facilitate the sterilization and storage of other medical devices, which falls under the category of a general medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Valerio:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.
