The summary describes a low-temperature sterilization system with pre-programmed cycles based on physical parameters (pressure, temperature, time, sterilant concentration). There is no mention of AI, ML, or any form of adaptive or learning algorithms. The performance studies focus on sterilization efficacy and material compatibility, not on the performance of any AI/ML component.
No
Explanation: This device is a sterilizer for medical devices, not a therapeutic device used in patient treatment.
No
Explanation: The Amsco V-PRO MAX Low Temperature Sterilization System is described as a sterilizer used for the terminal sterilization of reusable medical devices. It cleans, rinses, and dries medical instruments and does not provide any diagnostic information or analysis of patient conditions.
No
The device is a physical sterilization system that uses vaporized hydrogen peroxide to sterilize medical devices. It is not solely software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a "vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilizer intended for use in the terminal sterilization of cleaned, rinsed and dried reusable metal and nonmetal medical devices used in healthcare facilities." This describes a device used to sterilize medical instruments, not a device used to perform tests on biological samples to diagnose diseases or conditions.
- Device Description: The description reinforces its function as a sterilizer, detailing its cycles and how it uses vaporized hydrogen peroxide to sterilize medical devices.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases
The device's purpose is to make medical instruments safe for reuse by eliminating microorganisms, which is a function of sterilization, not in vitro diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Amsco V-PROTM MAX Low Temperature Sterilization System, with VAPROX™ HC Sterilant, is a vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilizer intended for use in the terminal sterilization of cleaned, rinsed and dried reusable metal and nonmetal medical devices used in healthcare facilities. The three pre-programmed sterilization cycles (Lumen Cycle, Non Lumen Cycle, and Flexible Cycle) operate at low pressure and low temperature and are thus suitable for processing medical devices sensitive to heat and moisture.
The Amsco V-PRO MAX Low Temperature Sterilization System's Lumen Cycle, cleared under K062297, can sterilize:
- Instruments with diffusion-restricted spaces such as the hinged portion . of forceps and scissors
- Medical devices, including rigid endoscopes, with a single stainless . steel lumen with:
- an inside diameter of 1 mm or larger and a length of 125 mm or o shorter
- an insider diameter of 2 mm or larger and a length of 250 mm or o shorter
- an inside diameter of 3 mm or larger and a length of 400 mm or o shorter
- a The validation testing for all lumen sizes was conducted using a maximum of twenty (20) lumens per load. Hospital loads should not exceed the maximum number of lumens validated by this testing. The validation studies were performed using a validation load consisting of two instrument trays and two pouches for a total weight of 19.65 Ibs.
The Amsco V-PRO MAX Low Temperature Sterilization System's Non Lumen Cycle, cleared under K083097, can sterilize:
Non-lumened instruments including non-lumened rigid endoscopes and non-lumened instruments with stainless steel diffusion-restricted areas such as the hinged portion of forceps or scissors.
- b The validation studies were conducted using a validation load consisting of two instrument trays and two pouches for a total weight of 19.65 lbs.
The Amsco V-PRO MAX Low Temperature Sterilization System's Flexible Cycle, the subject of this submission, can sterilize single or dual lumen surgical flexible endoscopes (such as those used in ENT, Urology and Surgical Care) and bronchoscopes in either of two load configurations:
-
Two flexible endoscopes with a light cord (if not integral to endoscope) and mat with no additional load.
The flexible endoscopes may contain either: -
a single lumen with an inside diameter of 1 mm or larger and a : length of 1050 mm or shorter
-
or two lumens with: .
- one lumen having an inside diameter of 1 mm or larger and a . length of 998 mm or shorter
- and the other lumen having an inside diameter of 1 mm or . larger and a length of 850 mm or shorter
-
C The validation studies were conducted with two flexible endoscopes, each packaged into a tray with silicone mat and light cord (if not integral to endoscope).
-
One flexible endoscope with a light cord (if not integral to endoscope) and mat and additional non-lumened instruments including instruments with diffusion-restricted areas such as the hinged portion of forceps or scissors.
The flexible endoscope can contain either:
- a single lumen with an inside diameter of 1 mm or larger and a . length of 1050 mm or shorter
- or two lumens with: .
- one lumen having an inside diameter of 1 mm or larger and a . length of 998 mm or shorter
- and the other lumen having an inside diameter of 1 mm or . larger and a length of 850 mm or shorter

Device Description
The Amsco V-PRO MAX Low Temperature Sterilization System is a new sterilizer model to be added to the Amsco V-PRO family of sterilizers. The V-PRO product line currently consists of the Amsco V-PRO 1 and Amsco V-PRO 1 Plus Sterilizers.
The V-PRO MAX Sterilizer has three pre-programmed cycles: the Lumen Cycle (K062297), the Non Lumen Cycle (K083097) and the Flexible Cycle (subject of this submission). The V-PRO MAX Low Temperature Sterilization System is intended for terminal sterilization of cleaned, rinsed, dried and packaged reusable surgical instruments used in healthcare facilities.
The V-PRO MAX Sterilizer uses VAPROX HC Sterilant to sterilize the intended devices through exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP). Its three preprogrammed cycles all utilize a conditioning phase, a sterilization phase and an aeration phase. The packaged sterilized devices are ready for use at the completion of the cycle; no cool down or aeration period is required.
The Flexible Cycle has been designed to sterilize surgical flexible endoscopes (such as those used in ENT, Urology and Surgical care) and bronchoscopes. The flexible endoscopes can be single or dual channeled and they may be processed in a flexible endoscope-only load or in combination with non-lumened medical instruments. The cycle is approximately 35 minutes long.
The Verify V24 SCBI (K073244 and K09051), Verify VH2O2 Process Indicator (K091174), V-PRO Sterilization Trays (K070769), and Vis-U-All Tyvek pouches (K070765, K071087, and K090371) have been validated for use in the V-PRO MAX Sterilizer.
