Intended Use
The Narval CC™ is intended to reduce or alleviate snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults.
Device Description
The Narval CC is a removable intraoral device used for treating snoring and sleep apnea. It consist of two custom fabricated splints that fit separately over the upper and lower teeth and engage by means of adjustable rods. The device functions as a mandibular repositioner, maintaining the lower jaw in a forward position during sleep. This mechanical protrusion acts to increase the patient's pharyngeal space, improving his/her ability to exchange air and reducing the tendency to snore. The device is custom made for each patient and has an adjustment mechanism enabling the amount of mandibular advancement to be set by the dentist or physician at the time of fitting.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and other sections do not mention any AI or ML components. The device is a mechanical mandibular repositioner.

Yes
The device is intended to reduce or alleviate snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which are medical conditions, and it functions as a mandibular repositioner to improve air exchange, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No
Explanation: The device is intended to treat snoring and sleep apnea by repositioning the jaw, not to diagnose these conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "removable intraoral device" consisting of "two custom fabricated splints" and "adjustable rods," indicating it is a physical, hardware-based medical device.

Based on the provided information, the Narval CC™ is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to reduce or alleviate snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea in adults. This is a therapeutic purpose, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical, removable intraoral appliance that mechanically repositions the jaw. It does not analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to in vitro testing, sample analysis, or diagnostic measurements.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. The Narval CC™ does not fit this description.

§ 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.”

Intended UseThe Narval CC is intended to reduce or alleviate snoring and mild to
moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults.
Technological
CharacteristicsThe following table displays the differences and similarities between the new
Narval CC device and two other previously marketed (predicate) devices.
Equivalence is based on similarities in intended use, materials of
construction, design, and operating principles, as summarized in the table
