Since I didn't have access to an agar plate to see if my instruments were sterile or just clean, I used the sterilizer and then swirled the tips of the instrument in a sterile test tube filled with sterile saline. I covered the tube and then waited for cloudiness. After a few days, nada. So I spun the saline down and then looked for a pellet in the bottom of the tube. Still nada.

Lastly, I poured out the supernatant and placed a drop of the saline on a slide. No bacteria!

The outer box says "sanitizer" but the label on the unit says "sterilizer", so it's a bit confusing, but it seems to get hot enough for me to be comfortable using it for "clean" procedures, but for surgery? Autoclave.
