The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and biocompatibility of a foam barrier, with no mention of AI or ML technology.
Yes
The device is intended to relieve discomfort and protect oral mucosa, addressing a health-related condition, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
This device provides a soft barrier to relieve discomfort and protect oral mucosa; it does not diagnose a condition or disease.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "non-sterile strip of non-latex foam," indicating it is a physical, hardware-based device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The Wired Mouth Protector is a physical barrier placed inside the mouth to protect the oral mucosa from wired hardware. It does not analyze any biological samples or provide diagnostic information.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to provide a physical barrier for comfort and protection, not to diagnose or monitor a medical condition through in vitro analysis.
- Device Description: The description clearly outlines a physical foam strip, not a diagnostic test kit or instrument.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on biocompatibility and toxicity, which are relevant for a device that comes into contact with the body, but not for an IVD which would typically involve analytical performance metrics.
Therefore, the Wired Mouth Protector falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Wired Mouth Protector consists of a non-sterile strip of non-latex foam with a slit in the middle that is inserted into the front of the mouth between the teeth and lip area with the slit in the center to provide a soft barrier to help protect the oral mucosa from contact with wired mouth hardware. It is changed three times daily or more often if needed.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Biocompatibility testing of the device has been conducted. The device was shown to be noncytotoxic in the agar diffusion test as well as the MEM elution test using L929 mamalian cells. Primary skin irritation testing in rabbits showed that the device is not considered to be a primary skin irritant (Primary Dermal Irritation Index=0.0). Ocular irritation testing in rabbit eyes showed that the device is not an ocular irritant. An acute oral toxicity study in mice showed that extracts were not considered toxic at an oral dose of 40 mL/kg body weight; the LD50 was > 40 mL/kg b.w.

§ 872.6890 Intraoral dental wax.
(a)
Identification. Intraoral dental wax is a device made of wax intended to construct patterns from which custom made metal dental prostheses, such as crowns and bridges, are cast. In orthodontic dentistry, the device is intended to make a pattern of a patient's bite to make study models of the teeth.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 872.9. If the device is not labeled or otherwise represented as sterile, it is exempt from the current good manufacturing practice requirements of the quality system regulation in part 820 of this chapter, with the exception of § 820.180, with respect to general requirements concerning records, and § 820.198, with respect to complaint files.

IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Wired Mouth Protector consists of a non-sterile strip of non-latex foam with a slit in the middle that is inserted into the front of the mouth between the teeth and lip area with the slit in the center to provide a soft barrier to help protect the oral mucosa from contact with wired mouth hardware. It is changed three times daily or more often if needed.
Biocompatibility testing of the device has been conducted. The device was shown to be noncytotoxic in the agar diffusion test as well as the MEM elution test using L929 mamalian cells. Primary skin irritation testing in rabbits showed that the device is not considered to be a

primary skin irritant (Primary Dermal Irritation Index=0.0). Ocular irritation testing in rabbit eyes showed that the device is not an ocular irritant. An acute oral toxicity study in mice showed that extracts were not considered toxic at an oral dose of 40 mL/kg body weight; the LD50 was > 40 mL/kg b.w.
V. INTENDED USE
Provides a soft barrier between wired mouth hardware and oral mucosa to help relieve discomfort for convalescing oral and maxillofacial surgery patients.
VI.COMPARISON TO PREDICATE DEVICE
The Wired Mouth Protector provides a similar function as the predicate device; i.e., protecting oral mucosal tissue from discomfort and damage. The composition of the Wired Mouth Protector differs from that of the predicate (foam vs. gel); however, the safety of the foam material for oral use has been well established in standard biocompatibility testing.
VII. CONCLUSION
Based on design considerations and the results of biocompatibility testing, we conclude that, in terms of protective function, the Wired Mouth Protector performs at least as well as the predicate device. The Wired Mouth Protector is therefore considered to be substantially equivalent to the above-mentioned predicate device.
