The summary describes a standard steam sterilizer with various pre-programmed cycles and validation against established standards. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any adaptive or learning capabilities.
No
Explanation: The device is a steam sterilizer designed to sterilize medical materials, not to treat or diagnose a patient's condition.
No
Explanation: The device is a steam sterilizer designed for sterilizing medical materials, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical hardware components (steam sterilizers with specific chamber sizes) and the performance studies validate the effectiveness of the physical sterilization process, not just software functionality. While software is mentioned for cycle operation, it is part of a larger hardware system.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "for sterilization of heat and moisture-stable materials used in healthcare facilities." This describes a process for making medical devices or materials sterile, not for performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.
- Device Description: The description details a steam sterilizer with various cycles (Prevaccum, Gravity, Liquid, Leak Test, DART). This aligns with sterilization equipment, not diagnostic equipment.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document 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 treatment decisions based on biological sample analysis.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the effectiveness of the sterilization process (killing biological indicators, achieving sterility assurance levels) and validating the sterilizer's cycles according to sterilization standards (ANSI/AAMI ST8). This is consistent with a sterilizer, not an IVD.
Therefore, the AMSCO Chimeron Medium Steam Sterilizer 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)
Effectiveness of sterilizer function and exposure time recommendations was demonstrated by complete kill of biological indicators and by verifying an appropriate safety factor or sterility assurance level (SAL) of at least 10° probability of survival. STERIS validates its sterilization cycles using recommended practices, standards and guidelines developed by independent organizations such as the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). The AMSCO Chimeron Steam Sterilizers have been validated to meet the requirements of ANSI/AAMI ST8: 2008, December 2008.
The results of the AMSCO Chimeron Steam Sterilizer verification studies demonstrate that the sterilizers perform as intended. These reports can be found in Exhibits P and O:
- . Exhibit P: AAMI ST8: 2008 Validation Study for AMSCO Chimeron Medium Series 26" x 37.5" x 60"
- Exhibit Q: Software Verification and Validation Report; Technical Report . No. 2011-022 for AMSCO Chimeron Sterilizer
The results are summarized as follows:
- Empty chamber testing was performed as described in Section 5.4.2.5 of . ANSI/AAMI-ST8, for the Prevac, Gravity, and Liquid cycles. These cycles demonstrated that the sterilizer is capable of providing steady state thermal conditions within the chamber that are consistent with the predicted sterility assurance level (SAL) in the load. The sterilizer meets the requirements of Sections 4.4.2 of ANSI/AAMI-ST8.
- All GRAVITY cycles were validated using the fabric test pack, described in . Section 5.5.2.1 of ANSI/AAMI-ST8, and were qualified according to Section 5.5.2 ANSI/AAMI-ST8. These cycles demonstrated a sterility assurance level of at least 10° through achievement of a time-at-temperature sufficient to produce an Fo value of at least 12, moisture retention of less than 3% increase in presterilization test pack weight, and no evidence of wet spots.
- All GRAVITY cycles were validated using full load instrument trays, described . in 5.5.4.1 of ANSVAAMI-ST8, and were qualified according to Section 5.5.4 ANSI/AAMI-ST8. These cycles demonstrated a sterility assurance level of at least 100 using half-cycle cycle analysis, moisture retention of less than 20% increase in presterilization weight of the towel, and no evidence of wet spots on the outer wrapper.
- All PREVAC cycles were validated using the fabric test pack, described in Section 5.5.2.1 of ANSI/AAMI-ST8, and were qualified according to Section 5.5.2 ANSI/AAMI-ST8. These cycles demonstrated a sterility assurance level of at least 10 through achievement of a time-at-temperature sufficient to produce an Fo value of at least 12, moisture retention of less than 3% increase in presterilization test pack weight, and exhibited no wet spots.
- All PREVAC cycles were validated using full load instrument trays, described . in 5.5.4.1 of ANSI/AAMI-ST8, and were qualified according to Section 5.5.4 ANSVAAMI-ST8. These cycles demonstrated a sterility assurance level of at least 106 using half-cycle analysis, moisture retention of less than 20% increase in presterilization weight of the towel, and no evidence of wet spots on the outer wrapper.
- All LIQUID cycles were validated using three 1,000 ml flasks, described in . Section 5.5.3.1 of the ANSVAAMI-ST8, and were qualified according to Section 5.5.3 of ANSVAAMI-ST8. These cycles demonstrated a sterility assurance level of at least 10℃ through achievement of a time-at-temperature sufficient to produce an Fo value of at least 12, water loss not exceeding 50 ml, and automatic sealing of the flask closure. The liquid cycle is for non-patient contact use only.
- The DART cycle was validated using the Bowie-Dick Test Pack, as described in . 5.6.1.1 of the ANSI/AAMI-ST8, was qualified according to Section 5.6.1 of the ANSI/AAMI-ST8, and demonstrated a uniform color change throughout the test sheet. The DART cycle uses the same dynamic air removal routines as the 270°F Prevac cycle.
- The software validation for the cycle operation was performed according to . FDA's moderate level of concern recommendations provided in the document "Guidance for the Content for Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices (05/11/05). "
