The Respire Blue Scries - EF is indicated to treat mild to moderate OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea)

Device Description

The Respire Blue Series – EF (Endurance Frameworks) – is available with a hard device fitting surface. The hard surface consists of Acrylic (side plates / trays) and chrome - Wironit material (upper / Palatal and lower / Lingual plates / trays). Refer to Figure 1 Representative Drawing. The device is retained with ball and clasps which are used to hold elastic bands which guide the jaw to the desired position. In addition there are expansion screws inside the Acrylic side plates / trays that allows for device expansion based on patient needs.

The upper and lower components are connected by an adjustable hinge, thus the patient can open and close the mouth while wearing the appliances

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the Respire Blue Series - EF intraoral device, indicated for treating mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The 510(k) submission (K152292) is for a modification to a previously cleared device (K111207), specifically the material used for the top and bottom plates/trays.

Based on the provided text, the acceptance criteria and study information can be summarized as follows:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Criteria/TestReported Device Performance
BiocompatibilityISO 10993 Standards"The results of testing determined that the material didn't cause skin irritation or allergenic sensitization."
CytotoxicityMEM Elution testing"The testing passed with a reactivity of 0 (zero) or none."
Material Integrity (Strength)Specimen elongation and load-bearing force to break"The amount of energy shown in the results, still far exceeds the amount of energy required by biting to create such a failure which occurred at an average of 275.6 Ibf using five (5) sample devices. Thus, the proposed Wironit/Acrylic parts are sufficient to survive a load exposure exerted by a human oral cavity."

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size: For the Material Integrity testing, five (5) sample devices were used.
  • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin or whether the data was retrospective or prospective. It is assumed to be part of the manufacturer's internal testing as described in the 510(k) submission.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

  • The document does not mention the use of experts to establish ground truth for the non-clinical tests described. The tests appear to be laboratory-based material science tests.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • This information is not applicable as the described tests are laboratory-based material science tests, not clinical studies involving interpretation by multiple experts.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. This device is a physical intraoral device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • No standalone algorithm performance study was done. This device is a physical intraoral device.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

  • For biocompatibility and cytotoxicity, the "ground truth" is defined by the ISO 10993 standards and the specific reactivity thresholds of the MEM Elution test.
  • For material integrity, the "ground truth" is established by the mechanical properties (elongation, load-bearing force) of the material compared to a benchmark (the predicate device and the force exerted by a human bite).

8. The sample size for the training set

  • A "training set" is not applicable for the type of non-clinical tests described for this physical device. These are material characterization and performance validation tests, not machine learning model training.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • This information is not applicable as there is no training set for a machine learning model.

Predicate Device:K111207 – Submitter's own previously cleareddevice
Indication for Use:The Respire Blue Series – EF is indicatedto treat mild to moderate OSA (Obstructive SleepApnea)

Device Description:

The Respire Blue Series – EF (Endurance Frameworks) – is available with a hard device fitting surface. The hard surface consists of Acrylic (side plates / trays) and chrome - Wironit material (upper / Palatal and lower / Lingual plates / trays). Refer to Figure 1 Representative Drawing. The device is retained with ball and clasps which are used to hold elastic bands which guide the jaw to the desired position. In addition there are expansion screws inside the Acrylic side plates / trays that allows for device expansion based on patient needs.

The upper and lower components are connected by an adjustable hinge, thus the patient can open and close the mouth while wearing the appliances

Figure 1 - Respire Blue Series - EF - Front View

Image /page/4/Picture/2 description: The image shows a dental device, likely a mouthguard or retainer, with a clear central section and colored (red and blue) side components. The device appears to be designed to fit over both the upper and lower teeth simultaneously. The clear part is likely made of a transparent plastic material, while the colored parts are made of a more rigid material. The device is likely used to protect the teeth from grinding or clenching during sleep.

Performance Data:

The subject of this 510(k) is a modification to the material used for the manufacturing of the top and bottom plates / trays of the device. The material "Wironit" is a widely used dental material, demonstrated via biocompatibility and cytotoxicity testing. The following nonclinical tests were performed:

  • Biocompatibility testing was accomplished according to the standards of ● ISO 10993. The results of testing determined that the material didn't cause skin irritation or allergenic sensitization.
  • Minimal Essential Medium (MEM) Elution testing was designed to ● determine the cytotoxicity of extractable substances. The testing passed with a reactivity of 0 (zero) or none.
  • Material Integrity testing demonstrates the strength of the Wironit material . as compared to the Acrylic material. The predicate device consisted of only Acrylic. The Wironit / Acrylic and Acrylic only (predicate device) were tested together to determine substantial equivalence as it relates to specimen elongation (stretching) and load bearing force to break. In both tests the points of failure were identified at the same location; yet the amount of energy required to cause failure was less for Wironit /Acrylic. However, the amount of energy shown in the results, still far exceeds the amount of energy required by biting to create such a failure which occurred at an average of 275.6 Ibf using five (5) sample devices. Thus, the proposed Wironit/Acrylic parts are sufficient to survive a load exposure exerted by a human oral cavity. In addition the intended use of this device is indicated to treat mild to moderate OSA (Obstruction Sleep Apnea) and not applying the necessary force for biting.

Substantial Equivalence:

The modification of the added material to the originally cleared device is demonstrated in Chart 1. The device function remains the same, the option for the Wironit material for the upper and lower plates / trays provides the patient with a more comfortable fit and durability. Therefore the modified device is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared Respire Blue Series.

Note: Bold "Substantial Equivalence Topic" – Difference between the cleared device and the Subject Device

§ 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.”
