No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties, cleaning, and sterilization validation of a surgical instrument cassette, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No.
This device is designed for organizing, cleaning, sterilizing, transporting, and storing medical devices, not for diagnosing, treating, or preventing disease or affecting the structure or function of the body.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a surgical cassette used for organizing, cleaning, sterilizing, transporting, and storing medical devices. Its function is not to diagnose medical conditions, but rather to facilitate the handling and sterilization of surgical instruments.
No
The device description clearly states it is a container made of polyphenylsulfone with silicone rubber grommets, indicating it is a physical hardware device used for organizing and sterilizing instruments. There is no mention of software as a component or the primary function.
Based on the provided information, the Straumann BLX Cassette is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as organizing, cleaning, sterilizing, transporting, and storing medical devices. This is a function related to the handling and preparation of medical instruments, not the diagnosis of diseases or conditions using in vitro methods.
- Device Description: The description details a container made of plastic with silicone grommets for holding instruments. This aligns with a device for managing surgical tools.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used with biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or for performing tests to diagnose or monitor health conditions.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on cleaning, sterilization, and biocompatibility, which are relevant to devices used in surgical settings, not IVD testing.
- Predicate and Reference Devices: The predicate and reference devices listed are "Kit Boxes and Kit Plates" and "Instrument kits," which are also devices for organizing and managing surgical instruments, not IVDs.
Therefore, the Straumann BLX Cassette falls under the category of a medical device used for the management and preparation of surgical instruments, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Straumann BLX Cassette is used in healthcare facilities to organize, cleaning, sterilize, transport, and store medical devices between surgical uses. The BLX Cassette is not intended to maintain sterility; it is intended to be used in conjunction with a legally marketed, validated sterilization wrap.
The BLX Cassette has been validated for a maximum load of 300 grams, including cassette and instruments.
Sterilization parameters: Pre-vacuum steam: 132°C (270° F) for 4 minutes with 20 minutes drying time.

Device Description
The BLX Surgical Cassette is a container composed of three main components: a lid, a cassette base and a tray, all made of polyphenylsulfone (Radel R5000). The base and the tray have silicone rubber grommets to hold the instruments. The base and tray are printed to indicate the surgical workflow and the position of the instruments within the cassette.
New surgical and prosthetic instruments have been developed to accommodate the new Straumann® BLX Implant System, a line of endosseous dental implants and abutments that are not subject devices to this submission. These new instruments are used for implant bed preparation and abutment removal (if necessary after placement). These devices are all Class I exempt as described in 21 CFR 872.3980 (Endosseous dental implant accessories) and are not subject devices to this submission. The cassette, along with a complete load of instruments, weights 300 g.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Cleaning and Sterilization Validation:
The subject device is a multiple-use device provided non-sterile which needs to be end user sterilized. The cleaning and sterilization procedures reflect the FDA guidance document, "Reprocessing Medical Devices in Health Care Settings: Validation Methods and Labeling Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff, Document issued on: March 17, 2015". Both manual and automated cleaning methods were validated and demonstrated the effectiveness of the recommended manual and automated cleaning processes.
Sterilization Validation:
The sterilization parameters have been validated to a sterility assurance level (SAL) of ≥10° using the biological indicator (BI) overkill method according to ANSI/AAMI/ISO 17665-1 "Sterilization of health care products - Moist heat - Part1: Requirements for the development, validation, and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices". In addition to the SAL validation, dry times were validated using full cycle parameters according to AAMI TIR12:2010 "Designing, testing and labeling reusable medical devices for reprocessing in health care facilities: A guide for medical device manufacturers".
Biocompatibility:
The biological assessment of the BLX Cassette was performed according to ISO 10993-1:2009 "Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" and the biocompatibility evaluation flow chart according to the FDA Guidance document "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, 'Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process', Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff, Document issued on: June 16, 2016".
The following biocompatibility studies were conducted:
- In vitro cytotoxicity according to ISO 10993-12 and ISO 10993-5 .
- Chemical characterization according to ISO 10993-12 and 10993-18.
Results of conducted studies based upon the biological safety profile of the BLX surgical cassette show that they are biocompatible for their intended use.
