More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a reusable sterilization container system and its accessories. There is no mention of AI or ML technology in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The device's function is purely mechanical and related to sterilization and storage.

No.
The device is a sterilization container system used to enclose other medical devices for sterilization and maintain their sterility, not to treat a disease or condition itself.

No

The device is a sterilization container system used to hold other medical devices for sterilization and to maintain their sterility. It does not perform any diagnostic functions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of anodized aluminum and stainless steel, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to enclose other medical devices for sterilization and maintain their sterility. This is a function related to the preparation and storage of medical devices, not the diagnosis of diseases or conditions using samples from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics of the container system and its compatibility with different sterilization methods. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD device, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health
    • Reagents or assays

The Aesculap SterilContainer System is a medical device used in the process of preparing other medical devices for use, specifically sterilization and storage. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

TECHNOLIGICAL CHARACTERISTICS(compared to predicate(s))

The Aesculap SterilContainer is compatible for use in pre-vacuum steam, pre-vacuum immediate use steam and EtO. These SterilContainers are a similar shape and size as the immodiate devices. The material used is the same as that used to manufacture the predicate devices. The new three-quarter size eight inch (187mm) container is exactly the same as the dontainers that received clearance in K944864, K053389, and K073168 with the exception of its size. This container represents the worst case vent to volume ratio for the SterilContainer System.

Dear Ms. Adams:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
