Intended Use
The EndSnor™ appliance, a dentist prescribed mandibular repositioning (MRP) device, is worn during sleep and is indicated for persons 18 years or older, who wish to reduce the incidence of snoring and/or mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. Before a dentist prescribes an EndSnor" appliance for treatment, it is recommended that the patient receive a medical examination including a sleep study diagnosis, and a dental examination including cephalometric and tomography analysis to determine the need for an EndSnor™ appliance.
Device Description
The EndSnor™ device is a dentist prescribed one-piece anti-snoring/sleep apnea appliance, custom-fit to patients' teeth by a professional dentist. It consists of an acrylic upper and lower posterior bite registration with an acrylic overlay of the posterior teeth, finished to the buccal/lingual height of contour for retention. If needed, the dentist may request stainless steel ball clasps, commonly used in the fabrication of orthodontic appliances, be added for more retention. Four expansion screws, commonly used in the fabrication of orthodontic appliances, are set in the acrylic to allow for mandibular readjustment. Mandibular adjustments are made by turning each screw equally. A labial supporting bar, commonly used in the fabrication of orthodontic appliances, is used to bridge the anterior gap in order to allow for less obstruction of the airway, and to remove the occurrence of loosening or harming of lower anterior teeth.

No
The description focuses on the physical components and mechanical adjustments of the device, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is indicated for reducing the incidence of snoring and/or mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, which are medical conditions, and it is a prescribed device.

No
The EndSnor™ appliance is described as a treatment device (mandibular repositioning device) for snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, not a device used for diagnosis. The text explicitly states that a sleep study diagnosis and medical examinations are recommended before the appliance is prescribed, indicating that diagnosis happens independently of the device.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, custom-fit oral appliance made of acrylic and potentially stainless steel components, which is a hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological state, state of health, or disease or congenital abnormality.
  • EndSnor™ Function: The EndSnor™ appliance is a physical device worn in the mouth to reposition the mandible. Its function is mechanical and aims to reduce snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea by altering the airway.
  • No Specimen Examination: The description clearly states the device is a physical appliance and does not involve the examination of any biological specimens.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the EndSnor™ appliance does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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.”

Differences Between EndSnor™ and Adjustable PM Positioner, a Marketed Predicated Device

Differences are:

  • EndSnor™ has 4 buccal expansion screws instead of 2 for mandible . advancement.
  • A labial supporting dental lingual bar for orthodontic splints is used to bridge the . anterior gap on the labial instead of acrylic over the anterior upper and lower teeth, thus creating less obstruction of the airway and to remove the occurrence of loosening or harming of lower anterior teeth. The labial supporting dental lingual bar is placed so there isn't any contact with the lower or upper anterior teeth.
  • . EndSnor™ is made of cold cure splint acrylic that is commonly used in dental labs for orthodontic splint fabrication. The Adjustable PM Positioner is made of a heat sensitive acrylic.
  • The dentist can chose to add retention clasps if needed for retention of the ● EndSnor™ appliance in the mouth. These commonly used orthodontic retainer clasps are Ball Clasps. These are made of stainless steel wire commonly used in the fabrication of orthodontic appliances.

Safety and Efficacy:

  • The EndSnor™ device is similar to the Adjustable PM Positioner, a marketed . predicated device, both are mandibular repositioning devices (MRP) and both are similar in design and function. The difference between the EndSnor™ and the Adjustable PM Positioner, a predicated device, are minor and do not raise any new safety concerns or risks.
  • Literature supports the historical significance of oral devices that reposition the . mandible and reduce and mange snoring as well as mild to moderate sleep apnea.
