The summary describes a simple physical device for providing temporary relief and does not mention any computational or data-driven components indicative of AI/ML.
Yes.
The device provides "temporary relief from oral discomfort" due to various causes, indicating a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device provides temporary relief from oral discomfort, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function. It is compared to predicate devices that are cold packs or teethers, reinforcing its role in comfort and relief, not diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical mouthpiece made from plastic tubing filled with a solution, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the gumEase® dental mouthpiece is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to provide temporary relief from oral discomfort. This is a therapeutic or palliative function, not a diagnostic one. IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description: The device is a physical mouthpiece filled with a saline solution. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological specimen. There is no mention of detecting diseases, conditions, or physiological states through in vitro analysis.
The device appears to be a Class I or Class II medical device intended for pain relief, similar to the predicate devices listed which are cold packs and teethers.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The gumEase® dental mouthpiece provides temporary relief from oral discomfort resulting from dental work, brace pain, denture irritation, post surgical pain or minor oral trauma.

Dear Dr. Yoder:
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.

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 your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
