More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies do not mention any AI or ML components or capabilities. The device is a physical mouth guard.

Yes
The device is intended to reduce damage to teeth and prevent noise associated with bruxing and grinding, which are therapeutic benefits.

No

The device description and intended use state that the Night Guard is for protection against bruxism and teeth grinding by providing a barrier between teeth; it does not mention diagnosing any condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "soft, comfortable, mouth guard" which is a physical, hardware device.

No, 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.
  • Night Guard function: The Night Guard is a physical device that is placed in the mouth to provide a barrier between teeth. It does not analyze any biological samples from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states its purpose is for physical protection against bruxism and teeth grinding, not for diagnosing any condition.

The information provided about the device description, anatomical site, intended user, and lack of performance studies related to biological samples further supports that it is not an IVD.

Dear Ms. Teng:

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.
