The device description and summary of performance studies focus on the mechanical function of the intraoral appliance and its similarity to predicate devices, with no mention of AI or ML.
Yes
Explanation: The device is intended to aid in the reduction and management of snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, which are medical conditions, making it a therapeutic device.
No
The device is described as an intraoral appliance used for the reduction and management of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, not for diagnosing these conditions. Its function is to comfortably hold the mandible forward to reduce symptoms.
No
The device description clearly states it is an "intraoral appliance" made of physical materials (copolyester, acrylic resin, orthodontic resin bond) that is fitted to the teeth and worn during sleep. This indicates it is a physical medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Sleep Splint Function: The Sleep Splint is an intraoral appliance worn during sleep. It physically manipulates the mandible to reduce snoring and sleep apnea. It does not analyze any biological samples from the patient.
The Sleep Splint is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than in vitro diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

Device Description
The Sleep Splint is a prescription only, intraoral appliance that is fitted to the upper and lower teeth, and worn during sleep for the purpose of reducing the incidence of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.
The Sleep Splint is made of copolyester (acrylic resin for the previous version) and features an orthodontic resin bond which can be custom-fitted by a dentist. It comfortably holds the mandible 5 mm to 7 mm forward. An important technical characteristic of this device is its minimal coverage of teeth; only the bite surface is covered by the upper and lower splints. This makes tongue repositioning more comfortable and also enhances fit for patients who have artificial front teeth. Also, by blocking out undercuts of the mold in the process of fabricating the Sleep Splint, it will not only fit the patient more comfortably but also have less impact on each tooth.

§ 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.”

510(K) SUMMARY REPORT
Kenzo Nakagawa, DDS, PhD Submitter: Nakagawa Dental Clinic 13-20 Higashiyanagida-cho, Koshigaya, Saitama 343-0814 Japan Tel: +81-48-965-2121 Fax: +81-048-965-1937 E-mail: info@kenshinkai.or.jp Contact Person: Maki Sakuraba (Official Correspondent) Makimed, Inc. 225 First Street, Mineola, NY 11501 Tel: 516-742-6705 Fax: 603-619-7888 E-mail: makimed@msn.com May 8, 2006 Date Prepared: 21 CFR 872.5570 Classification Reference: Device Class: Class II LRK - Anti-Snoring Device Product Code: Common /Usual Name: Oral Appliance Device/Trade Name: Sleep Splint Snore Guard (K882303) Predicate Device(s): The Silencer (K954530)
Intended Use:
The Sleep Splint is intended to be prescribed to adult patients to aid in the reduction and management of snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
Device Description/Technical Characteristics:
The Sleep Splint is a prescription only, intraoral appliance that is fitted to the upper and lower teeth, and worn during sleep for the purpose of reducing the incidence of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.
1
The Sleep Splint is made of copolyester (acrylic resin for the previous version) and features an orthodontic resin bond which can be custom-fitted by a dentist. It comfortably holds the mandible 5 mm to 7 mm forward.
An important technical characteristic of this device is its minimal coverage of teeth; only the bite surface is covered by the upper and lower splints. This makes tongue repositioning more comfortable and also enhances fit for patients who have artificial front teeth. Also, by blocking out undercuts of the mold in the process of fabricating the Sleep Splint, it will not only fit the patient more comfortably but also have less impact on each tooth. Clinical/non-clinical data support that these unique characteristics have significantly enhanced patient comfort and ease without sacrificing effectiveness.
Comparisons to Predicate Devices:
The difference between this device and predicate devices is only the design of the device. This difference does not have a significant impact on the safety or effectiveness of the device. All the devices are custom-fitted by a dentist, utilize heat sensitive acrylic or thermoplastic dental/medical grade materials, and comfortably reposition the mandible to keep the airway open.
Published clinical/non-clinical data suggest that the Sleep Splint works in a similar manner to other comparable devices, and the intended use is the same. The general differences between the device and predicate devices are minor and do not raise new safety concerns.
Conclusion:
The Sleep Splint is appropriate for its intended use, and raises no new concerns of safety and effectiveness over the predicate devices.

Dear Dr. Sakuraba:
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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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.
