AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for medical devices (TheraBreath Dry Mouth Oral Rinse and TheraBreath Dry Mouth Lozenges), seeking to establish substantial equivalence to predicate devices. This document does not contain information about an AI/ML medical device, nor does it describe acceptance criteria and a study proving a device meets those criteria for such a device.

Instead, it's a submission for an over-the-counter dry mouth relief product. The "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in this context refer to non-clinical tests (biocompatibility, shelf-life, physical properties) to demonstrate the safety and performance of the new products are comparable to existing, legally marketed products.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for detailed information about an AI/ML device's acceptance criteria and studies based on the provided text. The document does not describe:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance for an AI/ML device.
  • Sample sizes, data provenance, expert numbers/qualifications, or adjudication methods for an AI/ML test set.
  • MRMC comparative effectiveness studies or standalone AI algorithm performance.
  • Methods for establishing ground truth for training or test sets in an AI/ML context.

Dear Barbara Fant:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

{1}------------------------------------------------

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

Comparison of Technological Characteristics

TheraBreath Dry Mouth Oral Rinse and TheraBreath Dry Mouth Lozenges are substantially equivalent to Dr. Fresh Orazyme Dry Mouth Mouthwash (K111250) and to MedActive Oral Relief Spray and Gel (K152201) in intended use, design, materials, chemical composition, and performance. The products are all artificial saliva agents designed for relief from dry mouth symptoms. TheraBreath Dry Mouth Oral Rinse and Dr. Fresh Orazyme Dry Mouth Mouthwash both contain salivary enzymes. The TheraBreath and MedActive products contain Spilanthes Extract as a flavor. TheraBreath Dry Mouth Oral Rinse and TheraBreath Dry Mouth Lozenges are both manufactured for and distributed in the U.S.A. by Dr. Harold Katz. LLC (dba TheraBreath; Los Angeles, California). Dr. Fresh Orazyme Dry Mouth Mouthwash is manufactured and distributed in the U.S.A. by Dr. Fresh, LLC (Buena Park, California).

The primary technological differences between the oral rinses are that: (1) the proprietary composition of the salivary enzymes in TheraBreath and Orazyme products are very similar, but not identical; (2) the product raw materials and chemical composition are similar, but not identical; and, (3) the TheraBreath products are directed for use as needed, whereas, Orazyme is directed for use 2 to 3 times per day.

Brief Summary of Non-Clinical Tests and Results

Testing of the TheraBreath dry mouth products was performed to determine product composition and demonstrate conformity with product specifications for color, appearance, pH, specific gravity, and preservative efficacy. Biocompatibility testing of the TheraBreath oral rinse and lozenge formulations was performed according to ISO 10993-5 for cytotoxicity and according to ISO 10993-10 for mucosal sensitization and irritation. The products passed all tests in conformity with the standards and testing determined that the TheraBreath dry mouth products were non-cytotoxic, non-sensitizing, and non-irritating. Accelerated aging testing was performed to establish a 3 year shelf-life for TheraBreath Dry Mouth Oral Rinse and real-time aging was performed to establish a 2 year shelf-life for TheraBreath Dry Mouth Lozenges.

Comparative laboratory testing was performed for TheraBreath Dry Mouth Oral Rinse and Dr. Fresh Orazyme Dry Mouth Mouthwash and confirmed that the physical properties were similar for the two products for pH, specific gravity, odor, color and appearance.
