Explanation: The device, PRO-LITE™ Sterilization Trays, is described as being used to contain medical devices for sterilization. Its purpose is to facilitate the sterilization process and maintain sterility of enclosed instruments, not to diagnose medical conditions or provide diagnostic information.

No

The device description clearly states the device is a physical tray made of mineral-filled polypropylene material, designed to contain medical devices for sterilization. It is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to contain medical devices for sterilization in specific sterilization systems. This is a function related to the processing and handling 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 tray, its materials, and its function in the sterilization process. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • 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 analytes
    • Providing diagnostic information
    • Using reagents or assays

The device is clearly intended for use in the sterilization of medical instruments, which is a process related to infection control and device reprocessing, not in vitro diagnostics.

The lid includes clamping mechanisms designed to secure the lid onto the base. There are numerous holes in the base and lid for sterilant penetration. The tray is categorized as a cassette and requires complete enclosure in a legally-marketed sterilization wrap or pouch to maintain sterility of the enclosed devices. Both the base and the lid for the proposed tray are made of a mineral-filled polypropylene material.

Optional instrument organizers are provided as accessories to the trays and allow stabilization of various cylindrical medical devices during processing.
Optional sterilization mats are provided as accessories to the trays. The mats, which are used to cushion and stabilize devices placed into the trays, are a diamond grid design with "fingers" that extend from each corner of the diamond and at the midpoint of each diamond side. The fingers cushion and stabilize instruments, helping to prevent the instruments from freely moving in the tray during packaging, sterilization and storage. The cushioning and stabilization qualities help protect delicate instruments placed into the trays.

The purpose of this submission is to add claims and clarify the use of tray models in the V-PRO Sterilizers for:

  • use in the V-PRO maX 2 Fast Non Lumen Cycle ●
  • . the sterilization of titanium mated surfaces (diffusion-restricted spaces) in the V-PRO 1 Plus, maX, and maX 2 Sterilizers Non Lumen Cycle
  • addition of the V-PRO maX 2 Sterilizer to the indications for use in the . Lumen. Non Lumen and Flexible Cvcles of the V-PRO 1. 1 Plus and maX Sterilizers (the V-PRO maX 2 Sterilizer Lumen, Non Lumen, and Flexible Cycles are identical, with the exception of the condition phase of the Lumen Cycle, to the previously cleared cycles listed in Table 5-4).
  • Clarification of which tray models are used in which sterilizers listed in the Indications for Use. Tray model VP0053 does not fit within the V-PRO 60 Sterilizer and therefore tray model VP0053 is being removed from the Indications for Use for the V-PRO 60 Sterilizer.
