The Clench Relief Mouth Piece PRO RX is indicated for protection of teeth and restorations from injury due to teeth grinding, bruxism, and jaw clenching; temporary relief of TMD and bruxism by reducing muscle tension, and temporary treatment of TMD along with the relief of associated headaches and pains.
The Clench Relief Mouth Piece PRO RX is a custom-fit temporary mouthguard which allows the user to achieve a jaw position that alleviates clenching, grinding, and bruxism and help diminish TMD type muscle pain symptoms along with jaw clicking and popping. It allows the prescriber to set and create a new bite plane for the patient that allows the lower jaw to come down and forward from its habitual bite position thus freeing it from its habitual muscle tension. The mouthguard kits contain the Clench Relief Mouthpiece Frame with alignment guide and Clench Relief Fit Material (VPS putty provided as catalyst and base). The mouthpiece frame is packed with mixed putty and placed passively over the lower teeth. The end user must bite on the alignment guide for 2 minutes while the Clench Relief Fit Material sets. Heating of the mouthguard/putty is not required for molding. The mouthpiece frame and alignment guide are manufactured from ethylvinyl acetate (EVA). The putty is manufactured from vinyl polysiloxane (VPS) which was previously cleared under K821221.
This FDA 510(k) Premarket Notification document pertains to the Clench Relief Mouth Piece PRO RX, a custom-fit temporary mouthguard. The document focuses on demonstrating that this device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices. It does not contain information about a study that establishes acceptance criteria and then proves the device meets those criteria for the purposes of evaluating its clinical performance or efficacy.
Here's an analysis based on the provided text, highlighting the absence of the requested information:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
This information is not provided in the document. The document lists performance data categories such as "Biocompatibility," "Material hardness per ANSI/ADA 99," "Tear strength per ANSI/ADA 99," and "Water sorption per ANSI/ADA 99." However, it does not provide specific acceptance criteria for these tests nor does it report the device's actual performance results against any such criteria. It only states that these studies "were performed...in support of the substantial equivalence determination."
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
This information is not provided as there are no clinical studies or test sets evaluating device performance in the context of efficacy or clinical outcomes mentioned. The "performance data" refers to material property tests rather than clinical trials.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g., radiologist with 10 years of experience)
This information is not applicable as there is no clinical test set requiring expert-established ground truth.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This information is not applicable as there is no clinical test set requiring adjudication.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
This information is not applicable. The device is a physical mouthguard, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool for human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This information is not applicable. The device is a physical mouthguard, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
This information is not applicable as there are no clinical efficacy studies described that would require ground truth. The "performance data" mentioned relates to material characteristics, which are evaluated against established standards (e.g., ISO, ANSI/ADA) rather than a "ground truth" in a clinical sense.
8. The sample size for the training set
This information is not applicable as there is no mention of a training set. The device is a physical product, not a machine learning model.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This information is not applicable as there is no mention of a training set or associated ground truth.
In summary:
The provided FDA 510(k) document is for a medical device (a mouthguard) seeking clearance based on substantial equivalence to existing devices. The document highlights material property testing to ensure safety and compatibility, but it does not include any clinical study data or performance metrics that would typically address a device's clinical efficacy, diagnostic accuracy, or comparative effectiveness in the way an AI-powered device or a drug might. Therefore, most of the specific questions regarding acceptance criteria and study details for such evaluations cannot be answered from this document.

Dear David Frey:
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 (the 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.
