Intended Use
The IST Snoring Appliance is a dentist prescribed intraoral device for repositioning the upper and lower jaw into a prescribed relationship in single patient for multi-use at home or sleep laboratories. It is indicated for persons 18 years or older, who wish to reduce the incidence of snoring and/or mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
Device Description
The Dental Crafters' IST Snoring Appliance is a 2 piece upper and lower arch system designed to posture the lower jaw forward which increases the lower airway passage and alleviates snoring. It is custom-fit to a patient's teeth by a professional dentist. The upper and lower appliances are connected by means of a telescoping male and female stainless steel tube (upper) and rod (lower) ISTplus mechanism produced by Dr Hinz Dental. The acrylic arches of the appliance are secured to the occlusal surface. The system is bilateral, left and right. While the patient can open and close their mouth, the lower jaw arcs as predetermined by the construction of the appliance. The dentist determines the position in which the lower jaw is supported in an anterior position.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a mechanical intraoral device for jaw repositioning and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

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 prescribed by a dentist.

No

The device is an intraoral appliance designed to reposition the jaw to alleviate snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, not to diagnose these conditions.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, intraoral appliance made of acrylic and stainless steel components, which is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. They are used outside the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The IST Snoring Appliance is an intraoral device that physically repositions the jaw to alleviate snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. It works within the body (in vivo) and does not involve testing samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to reduce snoring and/or mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea by physically altering the jaw position, not by analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the IST Snoring Appliance is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than In Vitro Diagnostics.

§ 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.”
