The device description clearly states the device is a physical container system made from aluminum and polypropylene, indicating it is a hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided text, the Aesculap Sterilcontainer S is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a "reusable sterilization container system intended to be used to enclose another medical device that is to be sterilized by a healthcare provider." It's about sterilizing and maintaining the sterility of other medical devices.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical container and its materials, designed for sterilization and storage.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide medical information. The Aesculap Sterilcontainer S's function is entirely related to the sterilization and storage of other medical instruments.
