No.
This device is a high-level disinfectant and sterilant for medical devices, not a therapeutic device itself. Its purpose is to clean and sterilize other medical devices, not to directly treat a patient.
No
Explanation: The device is a high-level disinfectant and sterilant for medical devices, not a diagnostic device. Its purpose is to kill microorganisms, not to diagnose diseases or conditions.
No
The device is a chemical disinfectant solution, not a software program. The description details its chemical composition and intended use for disinfecting and sterilizing medical devices.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the high-level disinfection and sterilization of reusable medical devices (specifically heat-sensitive, semi-critical, and critical devices like endoscopes). This is a process performed on medical devices to make them safe for use, not a test performed on a biological sample to diagnose a condition or provide information about a patient's health.
- Device Description: The device is a chemical solution designed to kill microorganisms. It does not contain components or reagents intended for analyzing biological samples.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the efficacy of the disinfectant in killing various microorganisms and sterilizing/disinfecting medical devices. This is consistent with the evaluation of a disinfectant/sterilant, not an IVD.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, providing diagnostic information, or using techniques typically associated with IVDs (like immunoassays, molecular diagnostics, etc.).
In summary, the device is a disinfectant/sterilant for medical devices, which falls under a different regulatory category than In Vitro Diagnostics.

Device Description
Extended Use Aldahol High Level Disinfectant (HLD) is an aqueous solution that requires the combination of two parts, the unactivated Extended Use Aldahol HLD solution, packaged in gallon-sized containers, and a red Activator Buffer Salt Solution packaged in a smaller container included with the unactivated Extended Use Aldahol HLD solution container.
Once activated, the red/red-orange Extended Use Aldahol HLD as manufactured contains 3.4% w/w of glutaraldehyde and 20.1% w/w of isopropanol in a buffered salt solution of a surfactant, and potassium acetate intended to enhance the antimicrobial activity of the glutaraldehyde
The microbial mode of action of glutaraldehyde has been extensively studied and reviewed since glutaraldehyde was introduced as a disinfectant in the late 1960's. All of these reviews indicate that glutaraldehyde cross-links proteins and lipoproteins of microbes to denature the proteins and lipoproteins, thus killing the cells.
