Intended Use
The O'Brien MPA is intended to reduce snoring and to treat mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. This individually fabricated, non-sterile prescription device is a single patient, multi-use product for use at home or in a sleep laboratory.
Device Description
The O'Brien MPA is made of thermal plastic material (ADA approved materials). It is a very simple device that fits snugly over the upper and lower anterior teeth in such a way as to keep the mandible in a stationary, anterior protrusive position. The reason for this is to physically open the airway and thus potentially reduce the occurrence of snoring and sleep apnea. (This theory of airway management is common, standard operating procedures in the emergency medical field for airway management purposes.) The device also includes air channels to allow breathing through the mouth.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the physical mechanism of the device and explicitly states "Not Found" for mentions of AI, DNN, or ML, as well as training and test sets.

Yes
The device is described as treating mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, which is a medical condition, and reducing snoring, which can be considered a therapeutic outcome.

No
The device is described as treating snoring and sleep apnea by physically opening the airway, not by diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is made of thermal plastic material and fits over teeth, indicating it is a physical, hardware-based device.

Based on the provided information, the O'Brien MPA is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to reduce snoring and treat mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea by physically altering the position of the mandible to open the airway. This is a mechanical intervention directly on the patient's anatomy.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical appliance made of thermal plastic material that fits over teeth. It works by physically manipulating the jaw position.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The O'Brien MPA does not involve the analysis of any biological specimens.

The device is a medical device used for therapeutic purposes (treating sleep apnea and reducing snoring) by physically interacting with the patient's body.

§ 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.”

Dear Ms. Downing:

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.
