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.
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.
The provided 510(k) summary for the O'Brien MPA (Mandibular Positioning Appliance, K060744) does not contain information regarding acceptance criteria, a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria, or any details about a clinical study's methodology.
This 510(k) submission primarily focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to predicate devices (SUAD - K023836, TAP - K962516, OASYS - Oral Airway System - K030440) based on similar design principles, materials, and intended use. The document describes the device, its intended use (reducing snoring and treating mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea), and the regulatory classification.
Therefore, I cannot populate the table or answer the subsequent questions about acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, expert qualifications, or ground truth. These types of details are typically found in a clinical study report, which is not part of this 510(k) summary.
Summary of what is NOT in the provided document:
- Acceptance Criteria for Device Performance: The document does not define specific metrics (e.g., percentage reduction in AHI, success rate for snoring reduction) that the O'Brien MPA must achieve.
- Study Proving Acceptance Criteria: No study is described that was designed to demonstrate the device meets any performance criteria.
- Device Performance Data: There are no reported numerical results or performance statistics for the O'Brien MPA regarding its effectiveness in reducing snoring or treating sleep apnea.
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not applicable as no clinical study is detailed.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable.
- Number of Experts for Ground Truth: Not applicable.
- Qualifications of Experts: Not applicable.
- Adjudication Method: Not applicable.
- MRMC Comparative Effectiveness Study: No such study is mentioned.
- Standalone Performance Study: No details of any performance study are provided.
- Type of Ground Truth Used: Not applicable.
- Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable.
- Ground Truth for Training Set: Not applicable.
The 510(k) process often relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than conducting new clinical trials for every submission, particularly if the technology is well-understood and the risks are manageable. In this case, the FDA's letter states: "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... to legally marketed predicate devices." This indicates that the approval was based on equivalence, not necessarily on a new clinical study demonstrating specific performance against predefined acceptance criteria for the O'Brien MPA itself.

Trade/Device Name: O'Brien MPA (Mandibular Positioning Appliance) Regulation Number: 872.5570 Regulation Name: Intraoral Devices for Snoring Intraoral Devices for Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Regulatory Class: II Product Code: LRK Dated: May 19, 2006 Received: May 23, 2006
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.
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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820): and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of vour device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled.

§ 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.”
