The device is an autoclave, used for sterilizing medical equipment, which is a treatment/prevention function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "120 volt front loading autoclave" and describes its physical mechanism of action (boiling water, pressurizing chamber, steam sterilization). This indicates it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to sterilize medical and dental equipment. This is a process performed on instruments, not on biological samples from a patient for diagnostic purposes.
- Device Description: The device is an autoclave that uses steam sterilization. This is a physical process for killing microorganisms on surfaces, not a method for analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description 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 is clearly designed for the sterilization of reusable medical instruments, which falls under the category of medical devices used for infection control, not in vitro diagnostics.

Device Description
The Saniclave 250 by Revolutionary Science (model number RS-SC-250) is a 120 volt front loading autoclave.
Explanation of how the device functions: The Saniclave works like most other table top steam sterilizers by boiling water in a pressurized vessel (or chamber). As the water boils, the chamber pressurizes and the steam sterilizes the instruments placed inside.
Scientific concepts that form the basis for the device: The Saniclave technology is based on the scientific concept that prolonged saturated pressurized steam at or over a temperature of 121degrees Celsius kills bacteria.
Significant physical performance characteristics: Device design: Material used: The following materials were used in the construction of the Saniclave: Chamber (including door): Draw formed stainless steel Exterior enclosure: ABS thermoformed plastic Base plate: Galvanized steel Seal: Injection molded silicone Plumbing: extruded silicone tubing Solenoid valve: Cast brass and plastic Heater: Tubular heating element, nichrome wire and Incoloy sheathe. Circuit board with surface mount electronics This device has no direct or indirect patient contact.
Basic physical properties: The single heating element (permantently affixed to the bottom inside the chamber with bulkhead fittings) generates all heat for the autoclave, including preheat, sterilization and dry modes. It is immersed in the water of the chamber. When the cycle is initiated, the heater turns on and boils the water.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Physical and biological testing were performed in accordance with ANSVAAMI ST55:2016. Testing showed that Saniclave 250 meets all applicable requirements of this standard. Physical testing measured pressure and temperature inside the chamber in an empty and fully loaded state. Five precalibrated temperature sensors were placed inside the chamber measuring temperature in the front, back, upper, lower, and middle of the chamber so as to provide a good understanding of the temperature distribution in the chamber. One precalibrated pressure transducer was used to monitor pressure. Temperature and pressure was found to be within operating parameters. A loaded test with one tray and 4.5 lbs was performed with instruments (including hinged and knurled devices but not lumens) and inoculated with G. Bacillus Stearothermophilus in an artificial soil so as to present the greatest challenge to sterilization. A cycle was run and the inoculum tested. No growth was observed.
A separate test was also performed with the additional trocars (with lumens measuring 3mm inner diameter and 70mm in length) using 3 trays and 8.0 lbs inoculated with G. Bacillus Stearothermophilus in an artificial soil so as to present the greatest challenge to sterilization. A cycle was run and the inoculum tested. No growth was observed.

Outside dimensions: 16"x13.5"x21" Internal chamber dimensions (including door): 9" diameter x 10.5" deep
Comparison to Predicate Device:
The Saniclave 250 employs the same materials in construction as the Saniclave 200. It has the same factoryprogrammed cycle parameters. The only two significant differences between these two machines are: 1. A large unwrapped cycle has been added to accommodate 3 trays and 8lbs of trocars, lumened devices and solid instruments evenly distributed among the trays. This cycle is initiated with the same button as the smaller 4.5 Ibs unwrapped cycle but has been tested with the larger load. 2. Lumened devices of 3mm inner and 70mm in length are claimed in the indications for use.
These differences do not raise new questions for safety or effectiveness. The additional weight and trocars were tested and support a 10 6 SAL for the full sterilization cycle following the gravity steam sterilization half-cycle of 121 degrees C for 15 minutes.
