Device Description
The Luco Hybrid OSA Appliance is a two part (upper and lower) mandibular advancement appliance that advances the mandible (and tongue) into a forward position and maintains it there while sleeping. This appliance, as well as all three predicates identified, are made patient specific by a dental lab for each patient. The framework of the Luco Hybrid OSA appliance is constructed of dental alloy (chrome cobalt), similar to a cast partial denture, increasing its strength. The acrylic used for the pads, wings and adjustment blocks is orthodontic methyl methacrylate from Dentaurum. All of the predicate appliances use orthodontic methyl methacrylate from Dentaurum in their design. Orthodontic type ball clasps are placed on the inside (lingual surfaces) of the bicuspids and molars for retention. The SomnoMed MAS and Oravan OSA also use orthodontic ball clasps and wires for retention. There are acrylic pads on both the upper and lower appliances which cover and protect the posterior teeth (similar to all the predicates). There is no acrylic over the upper and lower incisors; instead there is an orthodontic type retainer wire to prevent flaring of the upper and lower incisors and a cast dental alloy custom fit plate behind the lower incisors. The predicate Oravan OSA appliance similarly does not place acrylic in the anterior of upper and lower teeth. The absence of any acrylic over the incisors in the front of the mouth allows freedom to breathe through the mouth as needed or to evacuate the oropharynx in the case of illness or an emergency such as vomiting. The patient can speak and drink water without removing the appliance. The absence of any material in the anterior region also activates and inhibits pharyngeal reflexes which result in the tongue posturing forward. The Luco Hybrid and all three predicates use wings on the lower appliance that extend upward contacting adjustable blocks on the upper appliance. These wings retain the lower jaw in a predetermined position while allowing the patient to open and move laterally with freedom. The adjustment blocks of the upper appliance have adjustment screws that permit fine adjustments (each turn gives ¼ mm advancement, up to 6mm) similar to all of the predicates. The predetermined position is determined by the dentist ordering the appliance; usually as a bite registration taken with a dedicated apparatus such as a George Gauge® (these are readily available from dental supply companies) similar to the predicate appliances. Advancing the mandible prevents blockage of the upper airway permitting normal air exchange, and effectively treating primary snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. The pads are constructed such that the main area of contact is in the forward 25% of the pads with no contact in the molar regions. The pads (both on the upper and lower appliance) have a chrome cobalt mesh inside for increased strength. The wings of the lower appliance as well as the upper adjustment blocks also have chrome cobalt mesh for strength. This mesh is continuous with the main framework of the appliance providing considerable strength.

There are acrylic pads on both the upper and lower appliances which cover and protect the posterior teeth (similar to all the predicates). There is no acrylic over the upper and lower incisors; instead there is an orthodontic type retainer wire to prevent flaring of the upper and lower incisors and a cast dental alloy custom fit plate behind the lower incisors. The predicate Oravan OSA appliance similarly does not place acrylic in the anterior of upper and lower teeth. The absence of any acrylic over the incisors in the front of the mouth allows freedom to breathe through the mouth as needed or to evacuate the oropharynx in the case of illness or an emergency such as vomiting. The patient can speak and drink water without removing the appliance. The absence of any material in the anterior region also activates and inhibits pharyngeal reflexes which result in the tongue posturing forward.

The Luco Hybrid and all three predicates use wings on the lower appliance that extend upward contacting adjustable blocks on the upper appliance. These wings retain the lower jaw in a predetermined position while allowing the patient to open and move laterally with freedom. The adjustment blocks of the upper appliance have adjustment screws that permit fine adjustments (each turn gives ¼ mm advancement, up to 6mm) similar to all of the predicates. The predetermined position is determined by the dentist ordering the appliance; usually as a bite registration taken with a dedicated apparatus such as a George Gauge® (these are readily available from dental supply companies) similar to the predicate appliances. Advancing the mandible prevents blockage of the upper airway permitting normal air exchange, and effectively treating primary snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.

The pads are constructed such that the main area of contact is in the forward 25% of the pads with no contact in the molar regions. The pads (both on the upper and lower appliance) have a chrome cobalt mesh inside for increased strength. The wings of the lower appliance as well as the upper adjustment blocks also have chrome cobalt mesh for strength. This mesh is continuous with the main framework of the appliance providing considerable strength.

Intended Use Statement:

This appliance is designed to treat primary snoring, mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea in adults.

Substance Equivalents:

The Oravan OSA, SomnoMed MAS, ATG/SM-OSA and the Luco Hybrid all use a wing/block design to retain the mandible (and tongue) forward and have acrylic pads covering and protecting the teeth. All the predicates are dual arch appliances with the upper and lower components non-connected (no locking mechanism holding them together). The Oravan OSA appliance does not have coverage of the incisal areas of both upper and lower incisors similar to the Luco Hybrid. The predicate devices all treat the same conditions as the Luco Hybrid Appliance. The ATG/SM-OSA Appliance uses cast dental alloy in its design as does the Luco Hybrid.

Non-Clinical Performance Data:

The primary materials, methyl methacrylate and dental alloy were selected as both have an extensive history of use in dentistry. Vitallium 2000® (K970205) is used for frameworks of cast partial dentures which often last decades. Methyl methacrylate has been and is currently used for dentures, bruxism appliances and orthodontic appliances with excellent results. By combining these recognized materials into one appliance, the Luco Hybrid has proven to be durable and highly resistant to fracture. Some of the original appliances are seven years of age or more without damage. The predicate appliances all use the same acrylic as the Luco Hybrid (Dentaurum ortho acrylic). All predicates use orthodontic expansion screws and orthodontic ball clasps which are commercially available and widely used in dentistry. The cast framework of the Luco Hybrid can last decades if cared for. The acrylic and hardware can be replaced inexpensively and the cast framework re-used at a significant cost savings to the patient. The Oravan OSA also uses dental alloy for its framework.

Clinical Testing:

The Luco Hybrid OSA Appliance has been successfully used on over 125 patients who were diagnosed using 16 channel polysomnogram recordings in sleep clinics, in overnight sleep studies, monitored by a sleep specialist. The enclosed data (30 patients) was collected on patients diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea and primary snoring over a five year period. All were diagnosed and re-tested with their appliance in the same sleep lab using the same parameters. All patients all were successfully treated except one, who suffered from severe claustrophobia and could not tolerate any oral appliance or CPAP/APAP therapy and remains untreated. This appliance was and is being used to treat Canadian Military personnel who have undergone overnight sleep studies (at the same sleep clinic) with excellent results. Before and after sleep studies have verified the efficacy of this appliance.

Conclusion:

The Luco Hybrid OSA Appliance is identical to the predicate appliances selected. It uses the same materials, same mechanism of action, carries the same risks and cautions and is substantially equivalent. The dental alloy palate design of the ATG/SM OSA appliance confirms that dental alloy is an acceptable material for OSA appliances. Clinically, the Luco Hybrid has also confirmed this in patients who have worn these appliances for over 5 years with no adverse reactions.

We believe that the analysis provided herein supports the claim that the Luco Hybrid OSA Appliance is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices identified.
