The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical design and clinical efficacy of a physical mandibular repositioning device. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI/ML.
Yes.
The device is intended to reduce or alleviate snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It is used for the treatment of a medical condition.
No
Explanation: The Apnea Guard is described as a mandibular repositioning device intended to reduce or alleviate snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It is a treatment device, not a diagnostic one. While its performance was evaluated using measurements like Apnea Index and Apnea-Hypopnea Index in clinical studies, the device itself does not perform these diagnostic measurements.
No
The device description clearly states it is a Mandibular Repositioning Device (MRD) consisting of physical components (interlocking upper and lower trays filled with silicone retention material). This is a hardware device, not software only.
No, the Apnea Guard is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body. This includes things like blood, urine, tissue, etc., to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- The Apnea Guard is a physical device used in the body. It's a mandibular repositioning device that is fitted to the patient's mouth and worn during sleep. Its function is mechanical, not diagnostic based on analyzing biological samples.
The description clearly states its intended use is to "reduce or alleviate snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)" by physically repositioning the mandible. This is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

Device Description
The Apnea Guard is a Mandibular Repositioning Device (MRD) which consists of interlocking upper and lower trays filled with silicone retention material fitted to the patient. The useful life of the retention material will limit the Apnea Guard's used to a temporary appliance, less than 30 days. The trays are locked into a position that advances the mandible for the treatment of snoring and / or obstructive sleep apnea. The one-size-fits-all appliance is able to accommodate the full range of dental etiologies, including wide and narrow arches, missing or compromised teeth and gums, etc.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Bench testing included:
- Design performance was evaluated looking at tray design, strength, compression, . extension and collapse and Locking mechanism
- Impression Material Retention .
- Storage temperature at elevated and low temperatures .
- User fit and comfort evaluation .
Clinical testing included:
A sleep study comparing the proposed vs. predicate device was performed. This study included eighteen patients who underwent a prospective IRB approved study. Patients were studied to assess outcomes when compared with the predicate device. Patients successfully complete a two-night Qualification Home Sleep Test (HST). Measurement and recording of Apnea Index, Apnea-Hypopnea Index, Hypoxemia, Snoring, and Sympathetic Arousals was done and compared to the predicate.
Results:
The bench demonstrated that the Apnea Guard design and performance meets is design requirements and was found to be equivalent in performance to the predicate for the intended use.
The clinical study with the Apnea Guard demonstrated that it was equivalent to the predicate in reducing sleep disordered breathing, hypoxemia, snoring, and sympathetic arousals in patients with mild to moderate OSA

§ 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.”
