Intended Use
The MICRODENTAL, Inc. Micr02 device is intended to reduce night time snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults. Optionally, if the DentiTrac® micro-recorder is completely embedded in the MicrO2 device, the microrecorder is intended to measure patient compliance to oral device/appliance therapy in combination with the DentiTrac® System
Device Description
The MicrO2 OSA device series consists of maxillary and mandibular devices that when interfaced together reduce snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea by holding the mandible forward during sleep, providing increased pharyngeal space. These separate upper and lower arch devices are designed with twin-mated posts and are CAD/CAM generated specifically for each prescription. Designed as a patient-specific device, the MicrO2 series consists of one or multiple lower device(s) together with one or multiple mated-post upper device(s) that are manufactured to the dentist prescriber's requested advancement positions to provide a selection of gentle adjustments according to patient comfort and need. As such, prescribed advancements can be achieved by simply removing the current upper or lower device and inserting the next upper or lower device in the mandibular advancing series. The MicrO2 does not have any adjustment mechanisms to modify or maintain the mandibular position such as pistons, screws, straps or repositioning elastics. The MicrO2's twin-mated post and lingualess design yields a small and a comfortable patient-specific mandibular advancement device. The design of the device maximizes tongue space and mandibular movement resulting in the ability to open and close during wear. The Micr02 OSA device with Micro-recorder is identical to the primary predicate device, Somnomed with Micro-Recorder except for the difference in the adjustment mechanism. The MicrO2 uses twin mated posts to adjust whereas the Somnomed uses embedded screws. Without the compliance chip the subject device is identical in materials and manufacturing to the reference predicate MicrO2 OSA device. Any differences introduced by these modifications when compared to the predicate device, do not introduce any new concerns. This submission adds the option for any clinician to decide to incorporate a DentiTrac® Microrecorder compliance chip embedded into a MicrO2 OSA device to record a patient's compliance to the prescribed oral appliance therapy. The MicrO2 OSA device with Micro-recorder is to be used in combination with the DentTrac® System which includes a base station at the provider's office used to upload the data from the chip to a web application for cloud based reporting and tracking. During scheduled visits, the data within the DentiTrac® can be uploaded to a web application for cloud-based reporting and tracking using a DentiTrac® Base Station at the clinician's office. The DentiTrac® micro-recorder monitors the wear time through the oral temperature, as well as tracks movements and head position. This is the identical chip that is included in the predicate device – the Somnodent with Micro-Recorder. The inclusion of the embedded DentiTrac® micro-recorder, provides additional information when used in combination with the DentiTrac® System, but does not impact the operating principles of the Micr02 OSA device as established by the reference device, the MicrO2 OSA without the DentiTrac® Micro-recorder.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical design, materials, and compliance tracking via a micro-recorder. There is no mention of AI or ML being used for diagnosis, treatment planning, or device operation.

Yes

The device is intended to reduce night time snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, which are medical conditions, thereby providing a therapeutic effect.

No

The primary intended use of the device is to reduce night time snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. While an optional micro-recorder measures patient compliance to therapy, it does not diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of physical maxillary and mandibular devices that are CAD/CAM generated and manufactured. While it includes an optional embedded micro-recorder and associated software system, the core device is a physical oral appliance.

Based on the provided information, the MICRODENTAL, Inc. MicrO2 device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • MicrO2 Function: The MicrO2 device is an oral appliance designed to physically reposition the mandible during sleep. Its function is mechanical and aims to improve airflow, not to analyze biological samples.
  • DentiTrac® Micro-recorder: While the optional DentiTrac® micro-recorder measures patient compliance through temperature and movement, this data is related to device usage and patient behavior, not the analysis of biological specimens for diagnostic purposes.

Therefore, the MicrO2 device, even with the embedded DentiTrac® micro-recorder, falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

Risk assessment, biocompatibility assessment in accordance with ISO 10993-1 and process validation for manufacturing was generated by MicroDental Laboratories to ensure that the MicrO2 OSA devices can be repeatedly and reliably embedded with the DentiTrac® and retain the same Quality Control functionality of the MicrO2 and DentiTrac®.

MicroDental Laboratories has generated process validation for the manufacturing process. Throughout the manufacturing process, MicroDental Laboratories performs 100% visual and functional inspection to ensure that the device meets manufacturing specifications for the MicrO2 OSA device with the inclusion of the DentiTrac® MicroRecorder Compliance Chip.

There are no new materials that have been added to the subject device from the reference predicate. As such, the biocompatibility assessment that was performed for the reference predicate MicrO2 OSA device is supportive of the subject device.

Clinical testing was not conducted on the subject device.

Compression and shear testing to approximate the mechanical force applied during use of the device was performed on the reference predicate. Since the addition of the DentiTrac® Micro-Recorder compliance chip does not impact the structural integrity of the device, this testing is still applicable to demonstrate performance and support substantial equivalence.

Monomer leachability testing was performed on the reference predicate. The materials in the subject device have been changed, thus the leachability testing continues to support biocompatibility and substantial equivalence to the reference predicate.

The MicrO2's twin-mated post and lingualess design yields a small and a comfortable patient-specific mandibular advancement device. The design of the device maximizes tongue space and mandibular movement resulting in the ability to open and close during wear.

The Micr02 OSA device with Micro-recorder is identical to the primary predicate device, Somnomed with Micro-Recorder except for the difference in the adjustment mechanism. The MicrO2 uses twin mated posts to adjust whereas the Somnomed uses embedded screws. Without the compliance chip the subject device is identical in materials and manufacturing to the reference predicate MicrO2 OSA device. Any differences introduced by these modifications when compared to the predicate device, do not introduce any new concerns.

This submission adds the option for any clinician to decide to incorporate a DentiTrac® Microrecorder compliance chip embedded into a MicrO2 OSA device to record a patient's compliance to the prescribed oral appliance therapy. The MicrO2 OSA device with Micro-recorder is to be used in combination with the DentTrac® System which includes a base station at the provider's office used to upload the data from the chip to a web application for cloud based reporting and tracking. During scheduled visits, the data within the DentiTrac® can be uploaded to a web application for cloud-based reporting and tracking using a DentiTrac® Base Station at the clinician's office. The DentiTrac® micro-recorder monitors the wear time through the oral temperature, as well as tracks movements and head position. This is the identical chip that is included in the predicate device – the Somnodent with Micro-Recorder. The inclusion of the embedded DentiTrac® micro-recorder, provides additional information when used in combination with the DentiTrac® System, but does not impact the operating principles of the Micr02 OSA device as established by the reference device, the MicrO2 OSA without the DentiTrac® Micro-recorder.

5. Indications for Use:

The MICRODENTAL, Inc. MicrO2 device is intended to reduce night time snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults.

Optionally, if the DentiTrac® micro-recorder is completely embedded into the MicrO2 appliance, the micro-recorder is intended to measure patient compliance to the oral appliance therapy in combination with the DentiTrac® System.

The Indications for Use Statement for the MicroDental, Inc. MicrO2 device with Micro-recorder is identical to the Somnodent with Micro-Recorder with the exception of the name. Both the subject and predicate devices have the same intended use for the treatment of OSA by mandibular repositioning.

6. Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device

Mandibular repositioning is the technological principle for both the subject and predicate devices. It is based on the movement of the mandible to increase the pharyngeal space. At a high level, the subject and predicate devices are based on the following elements:

5

  • A mandible tray
  • . An tray on the upper jaw
  • Use of a protrusion mechanism for the mandible
  • Optional use of the compliance chip to monitor patient compliance with the therapy
  • Material composition - PMMA

The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:

  • . The protrusion mechanism in the subject device is by use of a fin that is a part of the lower tray
  • . The digital milling process

From a technical design perspective, the subject device and the predicate devices improve the flow of air through the patient's pharyngeal space during sleep by repositioning the mandible and the use of upper and lower trays. While the device mechanics are slightly different between the subject device and the Somnomed with Micro-Recorder, they both advance the lower jaw forward in order to increase the pharyngeal space. The Somnomed with Micro-Recorder uses screws to advance the lower tray whereas the MicrO2 with Micro-recorder and the MicrO2 reference device both use a twin mated post for advancement.

The mechanism of the subject device and the predicate devices allows for adjustment of the amount of advancement based on dentist prescription and are patient specific. The dentist prescribes the amount of advancement increments for the MicroO2 with Microrecorder subject device and the MicrO2 OSA reference device according the physician professional assessment. The dentist prescribes these increments in the same way that the dentist adjusts the mandibular position with the pistons, screws, straps or repositioning elastics of the Somnomed with Micro-Recorder predicate device.

The MicrO2 OSA with Micro-recorder subject devices and both predicate devices use primarily the same material – PMMA – to provide a rigid tray.

The MicrO2 OSA with Micro-recorder is digitally milled identically to the MicrO2 reference device whereas the Somnomed with Micro-Recorder is manually manufactured.

Both the MicrO2 OSA with Micro-recorder and the SomnoMed with Micro-Recorder have an additional pocket to encase the Microrecorder. They both follow the same pocket process to include the DentiTrac® micro-recorder chip into the base device. The MicrO2 reference device does not have this pocket for the Microrecorder, thus the subject device – the MicrO2 OSA with Micro-recorder compliance chip is wider to include the pocket and the chip.

7. Performance Testing: Non-clinical Testing

6

Risk assessment, biocompatibility assessment in accordance with ISO 10993-1 and process validation for manufacturing was generated by MicroDental Laboratories to ensure that the MicrO2 OSA devices can be repeatedly and reliably embedded with the DentiTrac® and retain the same Quality Control functionality of the MicrO2 and DentiTrac®.

MicroDental Laboratories has generated process validation for the manufacturing process. Throughout the manufacturing process, MicroDental Laboratories performs 100% visual and functional inspection to ensure that the device meets manufacturing specifications for the MicrO2 OSA device with the inclusion of the DentiTrac® MicroRecorder Compliance Chip.

There are no new materials that have been added to the subject device from the reference predicate. As such, the biocompatibility assessment that was performed for the reference predicate MicrO2 OSA device is supportive of the subject device.

Clinical Data

Clinical testing was not conducted on the subject device

Substantial Equivalence Based on Mode of Action

The Micr02 OSA device with Micro-recorder has the same intended use as the Somnomed with Micro-Recorder in terms of providing increased pharyngeal space through mandibular repositioning for the relief of snoring and nighttime mild to moderate sleep apnea. The MicrO2 OSA and the predicate devices are both classified as mandibular positioning devices that are designed to increase the pharyngeal space. The subject device and the primary predicate maintain the option of embedding the DentiTrac® Micro-recorder compliance chip that monitors patient compliance with the device. Without the compliance chip the subject device is identical in mode of action to the reference predicate MicrO2 OSA device.

Substantial Equivalence Based on Bench Testing

The choice of reference predicate device, MicrO2 OSA is made from currently marketed devices which have identical intended use, and, which provide equivalent physical parameters, in terms of vertical shear, horizontal shear, horizontal compression and leachability.

The added compliance chip does not negatively impact the design and does not invalidate the original performance testing as performance testing as performed in support of clearance of the reference predicate device MicrO2 OSA

8

Both the Micr02 OSA device with the Micro-recorder as well as the Somnomed and MicrO2 predicates are prescribed and fitted by dentists or physicians. All of the devices have a mechanical/physical mode of action; the materials used for the fabrication of the subject device are identical to the materials used for the subject device.

Compression and shear testing to approximate the mechanical force applied during use of the device was performed on the reference predicate. Since the addition of the DentiTrac® Micro-Recorder compliance chip does not impact the structural integrity of the device, this testing is still applicable to demonstrate performance and support substantial equivalence.

Monomer leachability testing was performed on the reference predicate. The materials in the subject device have been changed, thus the leachability testing continues to support biocompatibility and substantial equivalence to the reference predicate.

Substantial Equivalence with the Addition of the DentiTrac® Micro-recorder Compliance Chip

The addition of the DentiTrac® Micro-Recorder to the MicrO2 device does not change the intended use of the MicrO2 device for the treatment of night time snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea in adult patients 18 years of age or older. Based on the process of embedding the DentiTrac® Micro-recorder inside the MicrO2 device, the patient will not be physically exposed to the micro-recorder. The DentiTrac® is completely sealed under a layer of PMMA within the MicrO2 device in the identical fashion as the SomnoDent with Micro-recorder has embedded the DentiTrac®. Furthermore, the size, position and location of the embedded DentiTrac® Micro-recorder in the MicrO2 device as there is ample space in the patient's oral cavity to accommodate the additional volume.

9. Conclusion

Based on the comparison technologic characteristics and the indications for use, together with the non-clinical performance testing,

MicrO2 Obstructive Sleep Apnea Device with Micro-recorder is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices SomnoDent with Micro-Recorder and Micr02 OSA Device.
