No
The document describes a steam sterilizer and its validation against established standards for sterility. There is no mention of AI or ML technology in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The focus is on mechanical design, materials, and sterilization cycle validation.
No.
The device is a steam sterilizer intended for sterilizing medical instruments and materials, not for directly treating a patient's disease or condition.
No
This device is a steam sterilizer, a medical device for sterilizing instruments and materials. Its function is to kill microorganisms, not to diagnose medical conditions.
No
The device is a steam sterilizer, which is a piece of hardware. While it mentions updated software, the core function and description are centered around the physical sterilizer unit.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to sterilize medical devices and materials (surgical instruments, hard goods, linens) using steam. This is a process applied to the devices themselves, not a test performed on biological samples to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The description clearly identifies it as a "Steam Sterilizer" or "Autoclave" and a "Class II, Product Code FLE Medical Device as defined by CFRS880.6880". CFRS880.6880 specifically covers "Sterilizers, Steam, Hospital". IVD devices are typically classified under different sections of the CFR.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information.
Therefore, the PRIMUS PSS8 Steam Sterilizer Series is a medical device used for sterilization, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
PRIMUS has validated sterilizer performance for each load cycle type to ensure that the exposure time, provided in the directions for use statements, have been proven to assure the safety and effectiveness of the PRIMUS PSS8 series sterilizer. Internal validation protocols are documented and deemed to be comply to the ANSI/AAMI ST8:2001, Hospital steam sterilizers - (Sterility); a harmonized standard recognized FDA as applicable to the validation of steam sterilizers intended for use in hospitals and other health care facilities and that have a volume greater than 2 cubic feet (ft') (56 liter {L] ) with no exclusions taken. The recognized standard established the minimum construction requirements and performance requirements for hospital sterilizers, using saturated steam as the sterilizing agent.
Declarations of Conformance made by PRIMUS to recognized standards are based on a verification of product performance data, that was independently validated with BI indicators exposed during validation for each cycle type published within the Indications for Use statement. Data output from the validation report was reviewed and found to meet Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10th when the sterilizer is used and maintained as directed.

-
PRIMUS PSS8 Pressure Vessels are designed, manufactured and tested in accordance with American . Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), Section VIII, Division 1 Unfired Pressure Vessels.
Validated software designed into the PRIMUS PSS8 series sterilizer provides for fail-safe controls that give appropriate warnings and signals when required conditions have not been met or if unit malfunctions. The technology designed into the PRIMUS PSS Steam Sterlizer Series provides for fail safe controls that provide end users with appropriate warnings and signals when required conditions have not been met or malfunctions occurs. Safety warnings and signals are challenged and verified on each unit, as a function of routine process control testing, during a 100% Factory Acceptance Test conducted at final inspection. Results are documented and maintained in the Device History Record (DHR).
Effectiveness:
PRIMUS has validated sterilizer performance for each load cycle type to ensure that the exposure time, provided in the directions for use statements, have been proven to assure the safety and effectiveness of the PRIMUS PSS8 series sterilizer. Internal validation protocols are documented and deemed to be comply to the ANSI/AAMI ST8:2001, Hospital steam sterilizers - (Sterility); a harmonized standard recognized FDA as applicable to the validation of steam sterilizers intended for use in hospitals and other health care facilities and that have a volume greater than 2 cubic feet (ft') (56 liter {L] ) with no exclusions taken. The recognized standard established the minimum construction requirements and performance requirements for hospital sterilizers, using saturated steam as the sterilizing agent.
Declarations of Conformance made by PRIMUS to recognized standards are based on a verification of product performance data, that was independently validated with BI indicators exposed during validation for each cycle type published within the Indications for Use statement. Data output from the validation report was reviewed and found to meet Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10th when the sterilizer is used and maintained as directed.
Operator Information
PRIMUS provides information in the User's Manual that is intended to ensure safe and effective use of the sterilizer. Additional information concerning recommended practices for end users in monitoring sterilizer performance can be found in the ANSI/AAMI ST79:2006 Comprehensive guide to steam sterility assurance in the health
