More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on a microprocessor-driven pump with user-set parameters, not on adaptive or learning algorithms.

Yes
The device is intended for "dry mouth therapy" and aims to provide "immediate and effective relief," which are therapeutic goals.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a therapy device ("Dry mouth therapy") that releases water for relief. There is no mention of it acquiring or analyzing physiological information or making medical determinations.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a microprocessor, rechargeable battery, water container, pump, pump controller, and mouthpiece.

Based on the provided information, the XEROS Dry Mouth Pump is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health, such as diagnosing a disease, monitoring a condition, or screening for risks.
  • XEROS Dry Mouth Pump Function: The description clearly states the device's purpose is to deliver water to the mouth for dry mouth relief. It is a therapeutic device that directly interacts with the body (delivering moisture to the oral cavity) rather than analyzing a sample taken from the body.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.

Therefore, the XEROS Dry Mouth Pump falls under the category of a therapeutic or palliative medical device, not an IVD.

510(k) Summarv Description of the device as found in device labeling

The XEROS Dry Mouth Pump is a microprocessor driven device which releases small amounts of water for a user-set duration at user-set intervals. It includes a rechargeable battery, water container, pump, and pump controller. The mouthpiece is a small comfortable fitting sponge attached to 1/8" tubing. All components of the XEROS Dry Mouth Pump are placed within a waist pack. It can be worn around the waist, on the shoulder, or placed on the nightstand for example.

How the device functions 1

The vessel is filled with water. The device is turned on and either the Day Mode or Night Mode is selected. The sponge-tip foam mouthpiece is wetted and then placed into the user's mouth where it is most comfortable.

The device is completely programmable designed to best fit the activity in which the user is engaged. It will pump water for the number of seconds the user presets the duration in the desired mode (Day or Night). It will pump that same amount of water at the number of minutes the user presets the interval in the desired mode. The process will continue until the device is turned off.

The user can push the BOOST button at anytime it is needed to deliver a preset amount of water measured in duration of seconds or the BOOST button can be depressed to activate pumping until it is released.

Scientific concepts that form the basis for the device

The concept of the device is simply to get water from a vessel container into the oral cavity of the user hands-free. Radiation caretakers advise their patients to sip water whether it be straight or a saline solution . Saliva is 99% water3. These two statements form the basis for the device. However because sipping water from a bottle is not feasible while sleeping, engaged in physical activity, or speaking, using scientific logic, we enhance this concept by making the sipping of water hands-free, A peristaltic pump is incorporated to sip the water from the bottle into the oral cavity by way of a conduit. Like the predicates the XEROS-1 uses a positive displacement Unlike the predicates the XEROS-1 pump is motorized whereas the pump. predicates rely on manual hand motion.

510(k) Summary Significant physical and performance characteristics

The device is designed to be as compact and weight-light as possible. The device components are contained within a waist pack, each in their own compartment. The only requirement of the battery is that it must be rechargeable. At the present a gel cell is being used however as battery technology advances it will be replaced by a much lighter and less bulky (less physical mass) battery such as a lithium cell based battery. The water bottle container is polyethylene, same as the Vicks Power-shot predicate. The bottle being used is 6 ounces based on typical usage calculations and actual studies to verify those calculations. However, the bottle size can be upsized or down-sized without adversely effecting the function of the XEROS-1. The pump is a peristaltic positive displacement pump chosen in design because the water does not come into direct contact with any of the pump components. The pump being low voltage makes it possible to be portable. Pump technology is advancing and a smaller pump profile is being considered which will not only be more electronically efficient it will be lighter in weight and size. The last component contained within the waist pack is the controller. It resides in a mesh outer pocket so that it is visible but yet obscure. With practice, the user can use the controller without actually looking at it. The buttons are designed to be operable by touch. Striking any of the buttons by mistake will neither cause harm to the user nor adversely effect the use of the XEROS Dry Mouth Pump. The controller contains two simple circuits 1) one to recharge the battery (and to shutdown if the battery is not recharged) and 2) one to program and operate the pump. The tubing from the discharge side of the pump and the removable foam sponge-tip mouthpiece assembly are the only components not in the waist pack during operation. The discharge tubing is Tygon® Medical/Surgical Tubing S-50-HL. The only component of the XEROS-1 that comes into contact with the oral cavity is the disposable foam sponge-tip mouthpiece assembly. It consists of the foam sponge-tip (toothette swab standard 10993-5 for the biological evaluation of medical devices), tubing (Tygon® Medical/Surgical Tubing S-50-HL), and female luer. The mouthpiece assembly is designed to be easily replaced by turning the luer a quarter turn and switching out mouthpieces. 807.92(a)(4)
