The device description and performance studies focus on the material properties and physical function of the mouthguard, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
The device is indicated to help protect teeth from damage, which is a preventive measure rather than a therapeutic/treatment one.
No
Explanation: The device description and intended use indicate it is an oral appliance for protection against bruxism and injuries, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states that the device is a "polymer tray" used intraorally, which is a physical hardware component, not software.
Based on the provided information, the BRUX MOUTHGUARD device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to protect teeth from damage caused by bruxism, sports injuries, and muscle contractions. This is a physical, protective function performed directly on the patient's teeth.
- Device Description: The device is a polymer tray used intraorally over the dentition. This describes a physical barrier or appliance.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The BRUX MOUTHGUARD does not interact with or analyze any such specimens.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the biocompatibility of the material (cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization), which is relevant for a device used in the mouth, but not for an IVD.
Therefore, the BRUX MOUTHGUARD is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than In Vitro Diagnostics.

Summary of Performance Studies
The BRUX MOUTHGUARD material was tested according to ISO 10991-1 guidelines for cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5), oral irritation (ISO 10993-10) and skin sensitization (ISO 10993-10). The results of this testing show that the material of the BRUX MOUTHGUARDS was non-cytotoxic, and was neither an oral irritant, nor a skin sensitizer.

This summary includes only information that is also covered in the body of this 510(k) document, does not contain any puffery or unsubstantiated labeling claims, does not contain any raw data, i.e., contains only summary data, and does not contain any patient identification information. Confidential information is included.
DEVICE DESCRIPTION: BRUX MOUTHGUARDS are polymer trays that are used intraorally over the dentition. Two models are to be offered for upper (BRUX NIGHT), or lower (BRUX SPORT) dentition.
INTENDED USE: BRUX MOUTHGUARDS are indicated to help protect the teeth from damage caused by bruxism, sports injuries, and muscle contractions.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS vs. the predicate device: BRUX MOUTHGUARDS are essentially identical to the predicate device, Archtek Inc. Grind Guard (K073446).
Both BRUX MOUTHGUARDS (BRUX NIGHT and BRUX SPORT) and the predicate mouthguards are composed of EVA and designed for use over the dentition for protection from biting forces.
BRUX MOUTHGUARDS are available in limited colors.
OTHER: The BRUX MOUTHGUARD material was tested according to ISO 10991-1 guidelines for cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5), oral irritation (ISO 10993-10) and skin sensitization (ISO 10993-10). The results of this testing show that the material of the BRUX MOUTHGUARDS was non-cytotoxic, and was neither an oral irritant, nor a skin sensitizer.
We believe that the performance data provided herein support the safety and effectiveness of use of BRUX MOUTHGUARDS.
