The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and sterilization efficacy of a container system, with no mention of AI or ML.
No.
The device is a sterilization container system, serving to enclose and maintain the sterility of other medical devices. It is not directly used for therapy on a patient.
No.
The device is a sterilization container system, intended to maintain the sterility of other medical devices. It does not perform any diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "container system" made from "non-anodized Aluminum" and utilizes "disposable (single use) polypropylene filters," indicating it is a physical hardware device.
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 "reusable sterilization container system intended to enclose another medical device that is to be sterilized by a healthcare provider." This describes a device used in the process of sterilizing other medical devices, not a device used to perform tests on biological samples to diagnose conditions.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics of the container system and its use in sterilization processes. There is no mention of reagents, samples, or analytical procedures typically associated with IVDs.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies described relate to sterilization efficacy, sterility maintenance, material compatibility, and simulated use in a sterilization process. These are not the types of studies conducted for IVDs, which would focus on analytical performance (sensitivity, specificity, etc.) for detecting analytes in biological samples.
In summary, the SterilContainer S is a medical device used for the sterilization and storage of other medical devices, not a device used for in vitro diagnostic testing.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The SterilContainer S is a reusable sterilization container system (consisting of perforated bottoms and perforated lids with filter retention plates, and single use polypropylene filters) intended to be used to enclose another medical device that is to be sterilized by a healthcare provider. This container system has been validated with stainless steel and Teflon lumens, hinged, and knurled instruments. It is intended to allow sterilization of the enclosed device and also maintain sterility of the enclosed device until used. This container system is compatible for use with the V-PRO 60 Low Temperature Sterilization System's Lumen, Non Lumen and Flexible Cycles. The SterilContainer Sincludes accessories such as silicone mats, baskets, trays, racks, eyepiece holders and sleeve holders.
The SterilContainer S was demonstrated to maintain the sterility of its contents for 180 days following successful sterilization.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The SterilContainer S has been fully validated for the Steris V-PRO 60 Sterilizer. These validations were conducted by a qualified testing laboratory. The performance testing demonstrates substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.
Performance Properties: Sterilization Efficacy
Results: Testing demonstrated a 6 log reduction to no growth in a half cycle validation. This testing supports a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10-6 in a full cycle validation.
Performance Properties: Whole Package Microbial Aerosol Challenge
Results: After exposure to a defined amount of aerosol microorganisms contents maintained sterility
Performance Properties: Event Related Sterility Maintenance
Results: Testing demonstrated the ability to provide an effective barrier for maintaining sterility of the contents after processing followed by a 180 day event related storage under conditions which simulate hospital sterile package handling and storage conditions.
Performance Properties: Material Compatibility
Results: After 100 cycles of processing no visible or functional changes were observed
Performance Properties: Simulated Use
Results: A worst case dual channel flexible endoscope was reproducibly sterilized under worst case simulated use testing conditions in the Flexible Cycle.

PERFORMANCE DATA
The SterilContainer S has been fully validated for the Steris V-PRO 60 Sterilizer. These validations were conducted by a qualified testing laboratory. The performance testing demonstrates substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.
| Performance Properties | Results |
|---|---|
| Sterilization Efficacy | Testing demonstrated a 6 log reduction to no growth in a half |
| cycle validation. This testing supports a sterility assurance level | |
| (SAL) of 10-6 in a full cycle validation. | |
| Whole Package Microbial | |
| Aerosol Challenge | After exposure to a defined amount of aerosol |
| microorganisms contents maintained sterility | |
| Event Related Sterility | |
| Maintenance | Testing demonstrated the ability to provide an effective |
| barrier for maintaining sterility of the contents after | |
| processing followed by a 180 day event related storage | |
| under conditions which simulate hospital sterile package | |
| handling and storage conditions. | |
| Material Compatibility | After 100 cycles of processing no visible or functional |
| changes were observed | |
| Simulated Use | A worst case dual channel flexible endoscope was |
| reproducibly sterilized under worst case simulated use | |
