It is a device intended for over-the-counter (OTC) consumer use. The device delivered as a spray form will be packaged in a 1.01 Fl.Oz. (30 mL) polyethylene tercphthalate (PET) plastic bottle and will be dispensed from the bottle via a positive displacement pump. The device delivered using a dispensing cup will be packaged in a 6 Fl.Oz (177mL) PET plastic bottle and will be dispensed via a polypropylene dispensing cup. The device is a clear liquid and contains polymers, including carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) that is known to coat and lubricate, as well as components that function as humectants and solvents. The device is preserved and lightly flavored for improved taste. Upon application the device coats and lubricates the mucus membrane of the mouth and oropharynx thereby providing immediate relief of dryness. The device thus functions as an artificial saliva device.

The device description focuses on the physical properties and chemical composition of a liquid spray/liquid for dry throat and mouth relief. There is no mention of any computational or data-driven components that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes.
The device is intended for the immediate and effective relief of dry throat and dry mouth by coating, moistening, and lubricating, functioning as an artificial saliva device, which are characteristic therapeutic actions.

No

The device is intended for the immediate and effective relief of dry throat and dry mouth by coating, moistening, and lubricating, functioning as an artificial saliva device. It does not mention any diagnostic capabilities.

No

The device description clearly states it is a liquid product packaged in plastic bottles with dispensing mechanisms (spray pump or dispensing cup), indicating it is a physical product, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "immediate and effective relief of dry throat and dry mouth by coating, moistening and lubricating." This describes a physical action on the body to alleviate symptoms, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a liquid that is applied to the mouth and oropharynx to coat and lubricate the mucus membrane. This is a topical application for symptomatic relief.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to detect, measure, or analyze any substance or characteristic in a sample (like blood, urine, saliva, etc.) to provide diagnostic information.
  • Comparison to Predicate Devices: The predicate devices listed (Moi-Stir, Throat Moi-Stir, Saliva Substitute) are all artificial saliva or dry mouth relief products, which are not typically classified as IVDs.

IVDs are devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens 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. This device does not fit that definition.

Dear Mr. Cooke:

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 additional controls.
