The device is a chemical solution for sterilization and the description focuses on its chemical composition, intended use in specific sterilizers, and performance in sterilization tests. There is no mention of AI or ML.
No.
Vapo Solution™ is an alcohol solution intended for use in sterilizers to sterilize medical and dental surgical instruments, not to treat or diagnose patients.
No
Explanation: Vapo Solution™ is an alcohol solution used to sterilize medical and dental surgical instruments, not to diagnose diseases or conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "specific solution of various alcohols, acetone, ketone, formaldehyde, and distilled water," which is a chemical substance, not software.
Based on the provided information, no, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use of Vapo Solution™ is to sterilize medical and dental surgical instruments within a specific type of sterilizer (Harvey Chemiclave). This is a process for making instruments safe for use on patients, not for performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.
- Device Description: The device is described as a chemical solution used in a sterilization process. It does not involve the analysis of biological specimens.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the efficacy of the solution in killing bacterial spores (Bacillus stearothermophilus) on instruments, which is a measure of sterilization effectiveness, not diagnostic accuracy.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease based on the analysis of such samples.
In summary, Vapo Solution™ is a chemical sterilant used in a medical device (a sterilizer) to prepare instruments for use. It does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.

Statistical analysis indicates that the Vapo Solution™ is equal to or better than the predicate. Vapo-Steril® solution in killing spore strips of Bacillus stearothermophilus when tested according to method used for such testing.
Conclusion: From non-clinical tests, the Model 5000 shows no significant difference in survivors for the two solutions; the Models 5500 and 6000 show a significant difference in survivors at shorter cycle times (Vapo Solution™ has fewer survivors), but no significant difference at longer cycle times. The two solutions are substantially the same in efficacy.
