The Airwayease MAS is intended to reduce or alleviate night time snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea.
The Airwayease MAS is intended to reduce or alleviate night time snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
The Airwayease MAS is an intra-oral device used for treating Snoring and mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnoea. It consists of two custom fitted trays which fit over the upper and lower teeth and engage by means of interchangeable lugs. The device functions as a mandibular repositioner, which acts to increase the patient's pharyngeal space during sleep and improves their ability to exchange air during sleep.
The device is custom made for each patient and has the adjustment mechanism enabling the amount of mandibular advancement as well as vertical change to be set by the dentist or physician at the time of fitting the device.
The ranges of mandibular advancement are up to 7mm from the starting point of the construction bite supplied by the dentist, as well as 7mm of vertical opening from the starting point of the construction bite supplied by the dentist.
Lateral movement of the jaw is limited by the device and as such this device is contra-indicated for those patients requiring the ability to move their lower jaw in a lateral direction whilst wearing the device.
Vertical opening for the Airwayease MAS is unrestricted except by that of the patient's individual physiology.
The provided 510(k) summary for the "Airwayease MAS" device does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria.
The document is a typical 510(k) submission, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than conducting a de novo performance study with specific acceptance criteria.
Therefore, I cannot populate the table or provide details about a study with the specific elements requested (sample size, data provenance, expert ground truth, adjudication, MRMC, standalone performance, training set details) because this information is not present in the provided text.
The document primarily focuses on:
- Device Description: What the Airwayease MAS is and how it functions.
- Intended Use and Target Population: Who the device is for and what it treats.
- Material Composition: Details about the materials used and their prior clearance/biocompatibility.
- Comparison to Predicate Device: A detailed comparison table highlighting similarities and differences with existing devices (SomnoMed MAS flex K0703004, OASYS K030440, TAP III K062951).
- Substantial Equivalence Claim: The core argument for 510(k) clearance, stating that differences in materials do not significantly affect safety or effectiveness.
- FDA Clearance Letter: Official communication from the FDA confirming clearance based on substantial equivalence.
In summary, none of the requested study design and results information is available in the provided text.

Device Description:
The Airwayease MAS is an intra-oral device used for treating Snoring and mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnoea. It consists of two custom fitted trays which fit over the upper and lower teeth and engage by means of interchangeable lugs. The device functions as a mandibular repositioner, which acts to increase the patient's pharyngeal space during sleep and improves their ability to exchange air during sleep.
{1}------------------------------------------------
The device is custom made for each patient and has the adjustment mechanism enabling the amount of mandibular advancement as well as vertical change to be set by the dentist or physician at the time of fitting the device.
The ranges of mandibular advancement are up to 7mm from the starting point of the construction bite supplied by the dentist, as well as 7mm of vertical opening from the starting point of the construction bite supplied by the dentist.
Lateral movement of the jaw is limited by the device and as such this device is contra-indicated for those patients requiring the ability to move their lower jaw in a lateral direction whilst wearing the device.
Vertical opening for the Airwayease MAS is unrestricted except by that of the patient's individual physiology.
Intended use - The Airwayease MAS is intended to reduce or alleviate night time snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea.
Target population - Adult patients 18 years or older who have a problem with snoring or obstructive sleep apnoea.
Environment of Use - The device is initially fitted under the supervision of a licensed practitioner (dentist or physician) and is subsequently used in either a home environment or in a sleep laboratory.
Materials - The material composition of the Airwayease MAS is identical to the Ivocap Elastomer cleared in K896130. No colorants or additives have been added to the originally cleared Ivocap Elastomer. NO evidence of biocompatibility issues with previous use of the same material in other dental appliances is known. The lugs in the Airwayease MAS which are made from DuPont Nylon and is identical to that used in the predicate appliance EMA (K971794), no evidence is known that biocompatibility is an issue.
{2}------------------------------------------------
Comparison to Predicate Device:
The Airwayease MAS is substantially equivalent to the SomnoMed MAS Flex "S" with the soft lining material (SMH Flex "S") for retention. The two types of retention are the same and the Airwayease MAS is entirely made out of- "Ivocap Elastomer" m which is technologically advanced to grip around the tooth creating a good retention which is designed for patient comfort, this negates the need for metal retention such as ball clasps. The Ivocap Elastomer also allows the interchangeable adjustment components to be removed and exchanged in the event of a desired change in position for the lower jaw. In the event that the components are exchanged they might simply be secured into the base with acrylic, making them secure. This difference does not have significant effect on the safety or effectiveness of the Airwayease MAS.

The difference between the intended device Airwayease MAS and the predicate devices are the materials. All of the predicates act as mandibular advancement splints for the treatment of Snoring and mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnoea. This difference does not have significant effect on the safety or effectiveness of the Airwayease MAS.
Justification for the use of the Ivocap Elastomer in the fabrication of the Airwayease MAS is to be able to have a secure well fitting appliance that is able to withstand the destructive forces of the mouth. The material provides comfort in the flexibility of the material when being worn at night and this same flexibility reduces the occurrence of breakages suffered by other rigid materials used in other MAS devices.

§ 872.5570 Intraoral devices for snoring and intraoral devices for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.
(a)
Identification. Intraoral devices for snoring and intraoral devices for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea are devices that are worn during sleep to reduce the incidence of snoring and to treat obstructive sleep apnea. The devices are designed to increase the patency of the airway and to decrease air turbulence and airway obstruction. The classification includes palatal lifting devices, tongue retaining devices, and mandibular repositioning devices.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for these devices is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Intraoral Devices for Snoring and/or Obstructive Sleep Apnea; Guidance for Industry and FDA.”
