Intended Use
The Siesta Medical, Inc. ENCORE Tongue Suspension System is intended to be used for anterior advancement of the tongue base by means of a bone screw threaded with suture. It is indicated for the treatment of mild or moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and /or snoring.
Device Description
The ENCORE Tongue Suspension System is designed for anterior tongue base suspension by fixation of the soft tissue of the tongue base to the mandible bone using a bone screw and suture. The ENCORE Tongue Suspension System consists of an integrated suture passer pre-loaded with size #2-0 braided polyester suture, a titanium bone screw that is pre-mounted on an inserter, a bone screw lock tool. and a Threading Tool. In addition, one of the following suspension sutures are provided depending on the model number: 1) a size #1 monofilament polypropylene suspension suture, 2) a size #1 monofilament polypropylene suspension suture with a radiopaque marker, 3) a size #2 monofilament polypropylene suspension suture with a radiopaque marker, or 4) a size #2 braided polyester suspension suture. Similar to the PRELUDE III System, the ENCORE Tongue Suspension System 1) uses a bone screw, 2) uses a bone screw inserter to place a bone screw into the bone, and 3) uses a needle to pass a suspension suture submucosally through the base of the tongue. The ENCORE uses a Suture Passer and working suture loops to pass a suture from the posterior position in the tongue. The ENCORE advances the tongue in the anterior direction with a suspension suture. A Threading Tool is provided to ease passage of the suspension suture through the bone screw.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and surgical procedure, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended for the treatment of mild or moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and/or snoring, which indicates its therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is a tongue suspension system designed for treating obstructive sleep apnea and snoring, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly details multiple physical components including a bone screw, suture, suture passer, inserter, bone screw lock tool, and threading tool. These are all hardware components, 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 surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and snoring by physically suspending the tongue base. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples from the human body.
  • Device Description: The device consists of surgical tools and implants (bone screw, sutures, inserter, etc.) used to perform a surgical procedure. It does not involve analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample. The device's function is mechanical and surgical.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease or condition. This device does not fit that description.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The 510(k) notice contains a summary of the Suture Endurance Test and the Bone Screw Fixation Strength Test, which were used to evaluate the performance characteristics of the ENCORE Tongue Suspension System. This data demonstrate that the suture was able to endure 10.5 million cycles Suspension System. This the bone screw to suture attachment strengths were no worse than the writtion ordaings and that the performance characteristics of the ENCORE Tongue Suspension System compare favorably to the predicate device.

§ 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.”
