The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical action and chemical composition of the oromucosal liquid, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
Yes
The device is indicated for the management and relief of pain associated with oral lesions, including oral mucositis, which is a therapeutic action.
No
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that episil® is indicated for the "management of pain and relief of pain," which describes a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function. It adheres to the mucosal surface to soothe oral lesions, not to diagnose them.
No
The device description explicitly states it is an "oromucosal liquid" and lists chemical ingredients, indicating it is a physical substance, 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 the "management of pain and relief of pain, by adhering to the mucosal surface of the mouth, soothing oral lesions". This is a therapeutic or palliative action, not a diagnostic one.
- Mechanism of Action: The device works through a "mechanical action" by forming a bioadhesive gel that soothes the oral mucosa. It does not analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide diagnostic information about a disease or condition.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties and ingredients of the oromucosal liquid and gel, and its mechanical action. There is no mention of any components or processes related to in vitro testing or analysis of biological samples.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Device Description
episil® is a medical device constituting an oromucosal liquid in a multidose container and is without active pharmaceutical ingredient. The oromucosal liquid transforms in situ to a bioadhesive oromucosal gel by uptake of small amounts of aqueous fluid. episil® has a mechanical action indicated for the management of pain and relief of pain, by adhering to the mucosal surface of the mouth, soothing oral lesions of various etiologies, including Oral Mucositis/ Stomatitis (may be caused by chemotherapy or radiotherapy). The oromucosal liquid is made of six ingredients including glycerol dioleate, soy phosphatidyl choline, ethanol, propylene glycol, polysorbate 80, and peppermint oil, which are all GRAS for the intended use.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-clinical and clinical performance testing was performed to support substantial equivalence claims. episil® conducted systemic toxicity testing in Syrian hamsters including oral irritation testing.
A randomized, repeat dose study of episil® in bone marrow transplant patients suffering from oral mucositis, was performed where episil® was given three times daily during 7 days together with cryotherapy compared against cryotherapy alone. The study showed that patients receiving episil® had less pain and required significantly less pain medication and parenteral nutrition than the control group.
The results show a significant reduction of oral pain which is similar to the reduction of pain reported in the literature for the predicate device Gelclair® (Lindsay et al. (2009), Australian Nursing Journal, 16 (9), 30).

Substantial Equivalence
episil® is as safe and effective as the Gelclair Concentrated Oral Gel (K013056). episil® has the same intended uses and similar indications for use, characteristics, and modes of action as the predicate device. The mode of action of episil® is achieved in the same manner as the identified predicate device (Gelclair Concentrated Oral Gel (K013056)) which is through the formation of a protective layer over the oral mucosa. episil® and Gelclair Concentrated Oral Gel are used by swirling in the mouth either directly or after mixing with water. Both are provided non-sterile.
The components of episil® have the same function as in the cited predicate device; with a mixture of film-forming excipients, flavors/sweeteners and ingredients required for manufacturing and viscosity.
episil® and the Gelclair Concentrated Oral Gel are both used on the oral mucosa and are both administered by swirling in the mouth. Episil® is recommended for use 2-3 times a day or as needed as is Gelclair Concentrated Oral Gel (K013056).
Performance data has been provided which demonstrates the minor differences between episil® and the predicate device raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Thus, episil® is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate device.
Performance Testing
Non-clinical and clinical performance testing was performed to support substantial equivalence claims. episil® conducted systemic toxicity testing in Syrian hamsters including oral irritation testing.
A randomized, repeat dose study of episil® in bone marrow transplant patients suffering from oral mucositis, was performed where episil® was given three times daily during 7 days together with cryotherapy compared against cryotherapy alone. The study showed that patients receiving episil® had less pain and required significantly less pain medication and parenteral nutrition than the control group.
The results show a significant reduction of oral pain which is similar to the reduction of pain reported in the literature for the predicate device Gelclair® (Lindsay et al. (2009), Australian Nursing Journal, 16 (9), 30). Therefore, Camurus has determined that episil® is safe and effective for its intended use and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
