Intended Use
(OTC): Neutrasal® is indicated for the dryness of the mouth (hyposalivation, xerostomia) (OTC): Neutrasal® is also indicated for dryness of the oral mucosa due to drugs such as antihistamines or atropine or other anticholinergic agents that suppress salivary secretion. (OTC): Neutrasal® may be used as part of an oral hygiene program for patients with dry mouth. Neutrasal® also provides intensive hygiene of the oral cavity. (Rx): Neutrasal® is also indicated as an adjunct to standard oral care in relieving the discomfort associated with oral mucositis that may be caused by radiation or high dose chemotherapy. Relief of dryness of the oral mucosa in these conditions is associated with amelioration of pain. (Rx): Neutrasal® may be used for relief of dryness of the oral mucosa when hyposalivation results from the following: surgery, radiotherapy near the salivary glands, chemotherapy, infection or dysfunction of the salivary glands; fever; emotional factors such as fear or anxiety; obstruction of the salivary ducts; Sjögren's syndrome
Device Description
Neutrasal® is a powder that when dissolved in normal tap water becomes a supersaturated calcium and phosphate rinse. Neutrasal® was designed in part to replace the normal ionic and pH balance in the oral cavity. Neutrasal® also maintains moistness in the oral cavity. It relieves diffuse dryness and fissuring of the oral mucosa, as well as painful tongue conditions due to hyposalivation. Neutrasal® facilitates chewing and speaking; loosens tough mucus: prevents mucous membranes from sticking together; and improves adherence of dentures. Additionally, Neutrasal® can be used as an adjunct to standard oral care for relieving the discomfort associated with oral mucositis that may be caused by high dose chemotherapy or radiation. Relief of dryness of the oral mucosa in these conditions is associated with an amelioration of pain. Neutrasal® is a comprised of calcium chloride, sodium phosphate and sodium bicarbonate plus inactive ingredients. When Neutrasal® is dissolved in normal tap water, the water becomes supersaturated with both calcium and phosphate ions. Syloid, an inactive ingredient in Neutrasal, is an amorphous silica that is recommended for free-flow and anti-caking for hydrogscopic food powders, industrial powders and other applications (pharmaceuticals) where humidity must be kept to a minimum.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the chemical composition and physical properties of the powder, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is indicated for conditions like dryness of the mouth due to various factors, oral mucositis, and to replace normal ionic and pH balance in the oral cavity. It also states its purpose is to provide "relief" of symptoms, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

The document describes Neutrasal® as a powder that becomes a supersaturated calcium and phosphate rinse, designed to treat dryness of the mouth and associated conditions, not to diagnose a medical condition. Its function is therapeutic, maintaining moistness and relieving discomfort.

No

The device description clearly states that Neutrasal® is a powder comprised of chemical ingredients that is dissolved in water to create a rinse. This 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 uses of Neutrasal® are focused on treating or alleviating symptoms related to dry mouth and oral mucositis. It is used to provide moisture, improve oral hygiene, and relieve discomfort. These are therapeutic or palliative uses, not diagnostic ones.
  • Device Description: The description details the composition and mechanism of action of Neutrasal® as a rinse that provides calcium and phosphate ions to the oral cavity. This is a treatment mechanism, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Claims: There are no claims or descriptions indicating that Neutrasal® is used to diagnose a disease, condition, or state. It does not analyze a sample from the body to provide information about a patient's health.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described focus on the physical properties and ability to achieve its intended use (e.g., pH, dissolution, supersaturated state, content of active ingredients). These are tests related to the quality and function of the product as a rinse, not its diagnostic accuracy.
  • Predicate Devices: The predicate devices listed are "Caphosol ®" and "Artificial Saliva," which are also products used for treating dry mouth and oral conditions, not for diagnosis.

In summary, Neutrasal® is a therapeutic or palliative device used to manage symptoms of dry mouth and oral mucositis. It does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.

H. Summary of Non-Clinical Testing: Performance

The Performance Testing of Neutrasal® included the assessment of the physical properties of Neutrasal® and its ability to achieve its intended use. Bench testing was completed by Scientech Laboratories, Inc., an FDA-approved analytical laboratory testing service as well internal testing done by Bartor Pharmacal. The following bench tests were performed:

  • . pH
  • Dissolution Tests .
  • Activity Testing of Supersaturated State ●
  • Content Testing of Active Ingredients .

l. Biocompatibility testing

Neutrasal® is technologically identical to the 510(k)-approved product predicate with the exception that Neutrasal® is in a powder from to be reconstituted in water rather than being a pre-made oral solution.

J. GRAS Listing of Ingredients

The EAFUS list of substances contains ingredients added directly to food or medications that FDA has either approved as food additives or listed or affirmed as GRAS (generally recognized as safe). All ingredients contained in Neutrasal® are EAFUS approved food additives labeled as

4

GRAS. Only USP-approved chemicals, with validation, will be used during the manufacturing of Neutrasal®.

K. Other Information

Effervescence has proved it utility as an oral drug delivery system that offers advantages to other forms of drug delivery. Neutrasal® offers more portability because it is more easily transported than liquid medication because no water is added until the product is ready to use. Additionally, Neutrasal® offers improved penetration in to the oral mucosa because of the effervescent formulation enhancement of sodium bicarbonate.

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion L.

The indications of use, technological properties, performance testing for Neutrasal® (Powder for supersaturated calcium phosphate rinse) are substantially equivalent to those of the predicate device Caphosol (supersaturated calcium phosphate rinse). They both share the same labeling and intended uses. Thus, Neutrasal® and Caphosol are substantially equivalent.
