The O2Vent T is a removable medical device that is fitted in the patient's mouth and is intended to reduce or alleviate snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The device is indicated for use during sleep to aid in the treatment of these conditions.
The O2Vent T is a removable medical device that is fitted in the patient's mouth and is intended to reduce or alleviate snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
The O2Vent T is made up of three parts:
- The Upper Tray fitted over the upper teeth, with the breathing port at the front leading to the airways on each side to the rear of the appliance, is made from medical grade titanium
- The Lower Tray fitted over the lower teeth, positions the jaw for mandibular advancement.
The Upper and Lower Trays have a "landing area" customized to the patient's teeth and made from medical grade polymers. - The Upper and Lower Trays are connected together with a connector. A hook mechanism attached to the Upper Tray fits into a socket attached to the Lower Tray and positions the lower jaw forward, preventing the soft tissue of the throat from collapsing and obstructing the airway. An Adjustment Key for the O2Vent T allows the patient and their Clinician to adjust the protrusion of the lower jaw to the most effective and comfortable position.
The O2Vent T device is intended to reduce or alleviate snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The document provided does not specify numerical acceptance criteria for clinical performance (e.g., reduction in AHI or snoring scores). Instead, the acceptance criteria are implicitly based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices (OVENT and TAP-III) through non-clinical testing and shared intended use, technological characteristics, safety, and effectiveness.

The device is deemed biocompatible. |
| Mechanical Safety | Can withstand mechanical forces without significant degradation. | Can withstand mechanical forces without significant degradation. |
2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for Test Set:
- Sample Size: The document explicitly states: "Human clinical studies were not deemed necessary to evaluate the substantial equivalence of the O2Vent T." Therefore, there is no "test set" in the traditional sense of a clinical trial patient cohort. The evaluation relied on non-clinical testing and comparison to predicate devices.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable, as no dedicated clinical test set was used.
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth:
- Not applicable, as no clinical test set requiring expert ground truth was utilized. The assessment was based on non-clinical testing and regulatory comparison.
4. Adjudication Method for Test Set:
- Not applicable, as no clinical test set requiring adjudication was utilized.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not performed. The submission explicitly states, "Human clinical studies were not deemed necessary." The device's approval is based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing legally marketed devices, not on proving improved effectiveness for human readers with or without AI assistance (as this is not an AI-assisted device).
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study:
- No, a standalone algorithm performance study was not done. This device is a physical intraoral appliance, not a software algorithm, so the concept of "standalone algorithm performance" is not applicable.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used:
- Not applicable in the context of a clinical test set. Instead, "ground truth" for the device's characteristics and safety was established through:
- Engineering specifications and material testing: Verifying the physical and mechanical properties of the device and its components.
- Biocompatibility testing/assessment: Ensuring materials meet safety standards (ISO10993) based on predicate device data and non-contact nature of new materials.
- Comparison to predicate devices: Establishing substantial equivalence in intended use, technological characteristics, and safety/effectiveness to previously cleared devices.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set:
- Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI or machine learning model that requires a "training set."
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:
- Not applicable. As above, this is not an AI/ML device requiring a training set and associated ground truth establishment.

{6}------------------------------------------------
- This is assumed as the devices are FDA 510(k) cleared and are currently on the market. Only the OVENT device was tested as part of this submission. Biocompatibility was not performed on the O₂Vent T device as the materials used in the device were similar to that of OVENT.
{7}------------------------------------------------
Note (1) The OVENT has a choice of lingual flange (to be decided by the clinician) although for most cases adequate retention (in advanced position) is achieved by the molded polymer insert.
Note (2) The O2Vent T and OVENT both have a dedicated breathing port (delivering air to the rear of the mouth) to allow the user to breathe through their mouth if they want, the TAP-III allows users to open their mouth to a degree.
Note (4) The OVENT requires a new insert to be made for mandibular adjustment, the O2Vent T and TAP device can be adjusted by the clinician or patient.
Note (5) The O2Vent T and OVENT uses titanium and the TAP-III uses stainless steel.
| Summary of Non Clinical Tests | The non-clinical testing included risk assessment of the physicalproperties of the O2Vent T and its ability to achieve its intendeduse. The only new material that was incorporated in the O2VentT is the connector assembly made from special grade 316stainless steel. The material and design specifications of theconnector assembly is already used in as the predicate TAP-IIIdevice. No other risks are introduced in the device. The O2VentT met the specifications as set.A biocompatibility assessment of the device was performed. Thepurpose of the biocompatibility assessment was to ensure thatbiocompatibility had been established for the device. No newmaterials are being used in the device; all materials are alreadyused in the predicate device (OVENT). No new risks areintroduced in the new device apart from the connector assembly,which are not present in the predicate OVENT device, howeveris present in the TAP-III predicate device and the new materialhas no patient tissue contact in the new device.The device is deemed to be biocompatible, based on thesimilarity of the materials of constructions to the predicatedevices (OVENT & TAP-III). |
|---|---|
| Summary of Clinical Tests | Human clinical studies were not deemed necessary to evaluatethe substantial equivalence of the O2Vent T as the O2Vent Tdoes not:• Use designs dissimilar from the predicate device and otherpreviously-cleared devices under a 510(k);• Use new technologies different from legally-marketed intra-mandibular repositioning devices for snoring and/or obstructivesleep apnea;• Deviate from the indications for use identified in the predicatedevices: the OVENT and TAP-III.In lieu of human clinical testing, the risks and mitigatingcontrols associated with the use of mandibular repositioningdevices, as identified by the FDA, have been addressed in the |
| "Risk Assessment". The function of mandibular repositioningdevices required that the prescribing dentist be aware of thepotential for soreness caused by mandibular advancement.Management of these risks is achieved by advising the patientsand dentists in the "Instructions for Use". The contraindications,warnings, precautions, storage, fitting and adjustment directionsare written to avoid potential problems from arising or persistingcaused by Mandibular Advancement Devices. | |
| Differences between theproposed and predicatedevice(s). | As discussed in the comparison chart above, the main functionaldifference between the proposed O2Vent T and predicate deviceOVENT is the method of adjustment. O2Vent T allows protrusionof the mandible from the original treatment position via a screwmechanism without requiring additional impressions or laboratoryprocedures as required for OVENT. The adjustments can be madeby the clinician or patient for the O2Vent T device, however it isnot possible in case of the OVENT device.Additionally, in order to facilitate the ability to titrate the device,the O2Vent T has separate upper and lower trays connected via thescrew mechanism, while the OVENT has a monobloc design.No new risks are introduced in the new device apart from theconnector assembly and separate trays, which are not present in thepredicate OVENT device, however are present in the TAP-IIIpredicate device.The treatment outcomes for O2Vent T and OVENT are expected tobe equivalent as the final levels of mandibular protrusion and theprovision for oral breathing via the customized airway is same foreach device.Hence the differences mentioned are unlikely to adversely orotherwise affect the expected clinical outcomes for patients usingthe O2Vent T device as compared to those using the OVENT, thusnot affecting the substantial equivalency of the proposed device. |
| Conclusion on Non Clinicaland Clinical Tests | The O2Vent T is considered to be substantially equivalent to thepredicate devices based on the following:• It has the same intended use and is indicated for the same userpopulation.• It has equivalent technological characteristics to the predicates.• The device is as safe, as effective and performs as well as orbetter than the legally marked devices identified above. |

§ 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.”
