This device has the same pressure and temperature ratings as the smaller 3-quart DUO Mini and the 6-quart IP-DUO60 v3 version that we use. There is a newer model, Instant Pot Max, that gets up to and sustains 15psi. Theoretically this would be much more effective at sterilization than the DUO models.
