More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use describe a tablet formulation for oral lubrication, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes
Explanation: The device is intended to provide temporary relief for symptoms of xerostomia (dry mouth) and promotes lubrication of oral mucosa, which are therapeutic claims.

No

The device description and intended use indicate that SINCLAIR SST™ is for promoting lubrication and providing temporary relief for dry mouth symptoms by dissolving a tablet in the mouth. It does not mention diagnosing any condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device is a tablet formulation, which is a physical product, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to promote lubrication of oral mucosa and provide temporary relief for dry mouth symptoms. This is a therapeutic or palliative function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is a tablet that dissolves in the mouth to provide electrolytes. This is a physical/chemical action within the oral cavity, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing a sample (blood, saliva, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing information for the diagnosis of a disease or condition.
  • Predicate Devices: The predicate devices listed (Salivart and Caphosol) are also products intended for the relief of dry mouth, not for diagnostic purposes.

In summary, the device's function is to alleviate symptoms of dry mouth, which falls under the category of a therapeutic or palliative device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
