The device description and intended use focus on the chemical composition and physical properties of the solution as a mouth rinse, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
Yes.
The device is indicated for conditions such as dryness of the mouth or throat (hyposalivation, xerostomia) and as an adjunct to standard oral care in treating mucositis, with the stated purpose of ameliorating pain and relieving dryness. These uses demonstrate its therapeutic intent.
No
The document describes Caphosol as a treatment for dry mouth and mucositis, not a device used to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly states that Caphosol is an electrolyte solution comprising two separately packaged aqueous solutions that are mixed together. This indicates a physical product, not software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use of Caphosol is to treat symptoms like dryness of the mouth and throat, and mucositis. It is a therapeutic and palliative treatment, not a diagnostic tool.
- Device Description: Caphosol is described as an electrolyte solution used as a mouth rinse. It is a physical substance applied to the oral cavity to provide relief and improve oral hygiene. It does not analyze samples from the body to provide diagnostic information.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of Caphosol being used to detect, measure, or analyze any biological markers or substances for the purpose of diagnosing a disease or condition.
IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. Caphosol does not fit this description.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Caphosol is indicated for dryness of the mouth or throat (hyposalivation, xerostomia), regardless of the cause and regardless of whether the conditions is temporary or permanent. Caphosol is also indicated as an adjunct to standard oral care in treating the mucositis that may be caused by radiation or high dose chemotherapy. Relief of dryness of the oral mucosa in these conditions is associated with an amelioration of pain.
Caphosol may be used for for relief of dryness of the oral mucosa when hyposalivation results from the following: surgery, radiotherapy near the salivary glands, chemotherapy; infection or dysfunction of the salivary glands; inflammation of the mouth or throat; fever; emotional factors such as fear or anxiety: obstruction of the salivary ducts; Sjögren's syndrome; and Bell's Palsy,
Caphosol is also indicated for dryness of the oral mucosa due to drugs such as antihistamines or atropine or other anticholineryic agents that suppress salivary secretion.
It may be used as part of an oral hygiene program for patients with dry mouth. Caphosol provides intensive hygiene of the oral cavity, and may be used to help relieve bad taste and to relieve offensive nasal discharge and crusting.

Device Description
Caphosol is an clectrolyte solution resembling human saliva, designed in part to replace the normal ionic and pH balance in the oral cavity. It is intended as a mouth rinse to moisten, lubricate, and clean the oral cavity including the mucosa of the mouth, tongue and throat. Caphosol maintains moistness in the oral cavity. It relieves diffuse dryness and fissuring of the oral mucosa, as well as painful tongue conditions due to hyposalivation. Patients having this condition are also prome to dental caries and candidal infections.
Caphosol is a partial substitute for natural saliva. Caphosol facilitates chewing and speaking; loosens tough mucus; prevent mucous membrancs from sticking together; helps remove nasal crust and relieve nasal soreness; improves adherence of dentures, and also relieves bad taste. The purpose of this premarket notification is to expand the claims for Caphosol to allow Caphosol to be marketed as an adjunct to standard oral care for treating the mucositis that may be mansed by radiation or high dose chemotherapy. Relief of dryness of the oral mucosa in these conditions is associated with an amelioration of pain.
Caphosol is a preparation comprising two separately packaged aqueous solutions, a phosphate solution (Caphosol A) and a calcium solution (Caphosol B) which when both ampoule solutions are combined in equal volumes form a solution supersaturated with respect to both calcium and phosphate ions. The solution after mixing the contents of solutions A and B contains:
