The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical function and material properties, with no mention of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is intended for the reduction of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and/or snoring, which are medical conditions, and it achieves this by mandibular repositioning to improve air exchange.
No
The device is described as an aid for the reduction of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and/or snoring by physically repositioning the jaw, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly states it is an "intraoral device" consisting of "two custom fabricated trays" that fit over dental arches. This describes a physical, hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.
Based on the provided information, the Apnea Sciences Corporation "ApneaRx" is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The ApneaRx is an intraoral device that is placed in the mouth to physically reposition the jaw. It does not analyze any biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
- The intended use is for the reduction of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea and/or snoring. This is a therapeutic or assistive function, not a diagnostic one.
- The device description focuses on its mechanical action (mandibular repositioning) and its physical components. There is no mention of any diagnostic capabilities or analysis of biological markers.
Therefore, the ApneaRx falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Apnea Sciences Corporation ApneaRx is an intraoral device used at night to reduce mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, and/or snoring by advancing the lower jaw (mandibular repositioning) and thereby minimizing air obstruction and turbulence. The device consists of two custom fabricated trays that fit separately over the upper and lower dental arches and engage each other in the anterior area of the mouth. This interface, and thus this device, functions as a mandibular anterior repositioner, which acts to increase the patient's pharyngeal space, improving the ability to exchange air during sleep

Performance testing was conducted to evaluate and characterize the performance of the Apnea Sciences Corporation ApneaRx. Preclinical testing conducted included dimensional conformance evaluation, visual inspections, design verification to confirm airway passage equivelancy and biocompatibility testing based on the applicable elements of ISO 10993-1 shown below.
| Test Performed | Standard | Test Result/Conclusion |
|---|---|---|
| ISO MEM Elution Assay with L-929 | ||
| Mouse Fibroblast Cells | ISO 10993-5 | Passed. |

§ 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.”

Dear Mr. Mocnik:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
