Intended Use
The Pillar™ Palatal Implant System is intended for the reduction of the incidence of airway obstructions in patients suffering from mild to moderate OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea).
Device Description
The Pillar™ Palatal Implant System (“System”) is intended as a treatment option for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. The System consists of an implant and a delivery tool. The implants are designed to stiffen the tissue of the soft palate reducing the dynamic flutter which causes snoring. Additionally, the implants reduce the incidence of airway obstruction caused by the soft palate. The implant is a cylindrical shaped segment of braided polyester filaments. The delivery tool is comprised of a handle and needle assembly that allows for positioning and placement of the implant submucosally in the soft palate. The implant is designed to be permanent while the delivery tool is disposable.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on a physical implant and delivery tool, with no mention of AI or ML in the text provided.

Yes

The device is intended to treat a medical condition (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) by physically altering the soft palate to reduce airway obstructions and snoring.

No
The device is described as a treatment for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea by stiffening the soft palate, not for diagnosing these conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of an implant (a physical object made of braided polyester filaments) and a delivery tool (a physical instrument with a handle and needle assembly). These are hardware components, 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 reduce airway obstructions in patients with OSA by stiffening the soft palate. This is a therapeutic intervention performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is an implant and a delivery tool designed to be placed submucosally in the soft palate. This is a physical device used for treatment.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not interact with or analyze such specimens.

The Pillar™ Palatal Implant System is a medical device used for the treatment of a medical condition, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Summary of Performance Studies

The System has been clinically evaluated in support of expanding the current snoring indication to include the treatment of patients with OSA. The clinical results were compared to the clinical results of other products which have an indication for the treatment of OSA. The results were comparable in terms of performance. Clinical data demonstrates the device performs as anticipated and raises no new questions of safety and effectiveness over the predicate 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.”

| DEVICE DESCRIPTION: | The Pillar™ Palatal Implant System (“System”) is intended as a treatment option for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. The System consists of an implant and a delivery tool. The implants are designed to stiffen the tissue of the soft palate reducing the dynamic flutter which causes snoring. Additionally, the implants reduce the incidence of airway obstruction caused by the soft palate. |
| | The implant is a cylindrical shaped segment of braided polyester filaments. The delivery tool is comprised of a handle and needle assembly that allows for positioning and placement of the implant submucosally in the soft palate. The implant is designed to be permanent while the delivery tool is disposable. |
| INTENDED USE: | The System is intended for use in stiffening the soft palate tissue, which may reduce the severity of snoring in some individuals and reduce the incidence of airway obstructions in patients suffering from mild to moderate OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea). |
| EQUIVALENCE TESTING: | The System has been clinically evaluated in support of expanding the current snoring indication to include the treatment of patients with OSA. The clinical results were compared to the clinical results of other products which have an indication for the treatment of OSA. The results were comparable in terms of performance. |
| CONCLUSION: | The Pillar™ Palatal Implant System with the additional OSA indication is substantially equivalent to the current commercially available System which is indicated for snorin in terms of its design and materials and to the Influence Screw In Bone System (K972023) and the Gyrus PLC (formerly Somnus Medical Technologies) Somnoplasty System (K982717) in their indications for use in the treatment of those patients suffering from OSA.
Clinical data demonstrates the device performs as anticipated and raises no new questions of safety and effectiveness over the predicate devices. |
