The SML OSA2 Appliances are intended to reduce nighttime snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea in adults. The SML-OSA2 appliances are worn while sleeping to support the lower jaw in a forward position prescribed by the dentist. The customized appliance is inserted and removed by the patient and adjusted by the prescribing dentist.
The SML-OSA2 APPLIANCES include five device models: Adjustable Sleep Appliance (ASA), Clear Sleep Adjustable Dorsal, Clear Sleep Adjustable Anterior, Quiet Night Appliance (QNA) and V-force.
The SML-OSA2 Appliances are customized, intraoral dental devices designed to reduce snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea in adults. The devices fit over the dentition and reposition the mandible in a slightly protrusive position. The SML-OSA2 APPLIANCES consist of 2 arch forms that are linked to advance the mandible, and are worn while sleeping to support the lower jaw in a forward position prescribed by the dentist. The customized appliance is inserted and removed by the patient and adjusted by the prescribing dentist.
Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study information for the SML-OSA2 Appliances device:
This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the SML-OSA2 Appliances. In the context of 510(k) submissions, the primary goal is to demonstrate "substantial equivalence" to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving that the device meets specific acceptance criteria through de novo performance studies. Therefore, the information provided focuses on comparability and known safety/effectiveness of materials and design.
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document doesn't present a table of numerical acceptance criteria and a corresponding table of the device's measured performance in the typical sense of a diagnostic or therapeutic device undergoing a detailed performance study. Instead, substantial equivalence to a predicate device (ATG/SM-OSA Appliances, K130130) is the overarching "acceptance criterion" being met.
Here's how the "acceptance criteria" (implicitly, the characteristics of the predicate) and "reported device performance" (characteristics of the subject device) are presented:

Study Information & Data Provenance
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- No specific test set or associated sample size is mentioned. This is a 510(k) submission primarily relying on substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not de novo performance testing.
- The document implies that the "data provenance" for the predicate device's effectiveness would be from its own clearance, but no specific study details are given here for either device.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not applicable. There was no specific test set or ground truth established for the SML-OSA2 Appliances regarding clinical performance, as no clinical testing was required or performed for this 510(k). The ground truth for the predicate's effectiveness would have been established during its own clearance.
-
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable, as no specific test set or clinical study requiring adjudication was performed for the SML-OSA2 Appliances.
-
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:
- Not applicable. This device is a physical intraoral appliance, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool for human readers. No MRMC study was conducted.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. This device is a physical intraoral appliance.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- For the purposes of this 510(k) submission, the "ground truth" for the device's safety and effectiveness relies on the established safety and effectiveness of the predicate device (K130130) for its specified indications for use.
- The "ground truth" for the materials used in SML-OSA2 Appliances (including new ones like POM and latex elastomers) is established by their prior use in cleared dental/intraoral devices or their inclusion in the FDA Biomaterials Compendium.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This is not an algorithm or AI device that requires a training set.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.
In summary: The document from the FDA acknowledges a 510(k) premarket notification for the SML-OSA2 Appliances. It concludes that the device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device (ATG/SM-OSA Appliances, K130130), meaning it has the same intended use, similar technological characteristics, and raises no new questions of safety or effectiveness. This determination is made based on comparing the indications for use, technological characteristics (design, materials, scientific principle), and performance standards, primarily relying on existing data and prior clearances rather than new, extensive performance studies for the subject device. "No clinical testing is required for these devices."

Device Description: The SML-OSA2 APPLIANCES include five device models: Adjustable Sleep Appliance (ASA), Clear Sleep Adjustable Dorsal, Clear Sleep Adjustable Anterior, Quiet Night Appliance (QNA) and V-force.
The SML-OSA2 Appliances are customized, intraoral dental devices designed to reduce snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea in adults. The devices fit over the dentition and reposition the mandible in a slightly protrusive position. The SML-OSA2 APPLIANCES consist of 2 arch forms that are linked to advance the mandible, and are worn while sleeping to support the lower jaw in a forward position prescribed by the dentist.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS:
Intended Use
The Indications for Use for the SML-OSA2A Appliances are identical to the ATG/SM-OSA Appliances' Indications for Use. Both the proposed and predicate devices are intended to reduce nighttime snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea in adults A more in-depth comparison of the materials of construction is provided in the Substantial Equivalence section.
Design
The SML-OSA2 APPLIANCES are made primarily of dental acrylic. Three modified designs (ASA, Clear Sleep Adjustable Dorsal, and Clear Sleep Adjustable Anterior) are a variation of the Dorsal design. Two modified designs (QNA and V-force) are a variation of the Herbst design. Stainless steel or elastomeric parts are incorporated to allow adjustment of the appliances. These designs may have dual-laminate dental polymers in place of the acrylic. Table S-1 summarizes the design characteristics of the five models of the proposed device.
The function, scientific concept and principle of operation are the same for each device design. The principle of operation is that two connected arch forms maneuver the mandible forward. The position of the mandible prevents the tongue from sliding backward or downward for a prone sleeping individual. Therefore, the airway will be more open, contributing to the reduction in snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea.
| SML-OSA2Appliance | Similarities toK130130 | Differences from K130130 |
|---|---|---|
| Adjustable SleepAppliance (ASA) | Similar to the K130130Dorsal. | Adjustable arch width with midline screw onmaxillary arch; partial anterior coverage. |

{7}------------------------------------------------
The indications for use are identical for the predicate K130130 and subject K162816 devices. No significant differences exist in technology, intended use, or design between the subject devices and the predicates selected.
Performance Standards:
- ISO 7405 Second edition 2008-12-15, dentistry evaluation of biocompatibility of medical . devices used in dentistry as published in the Federal Register (Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997: Modifications to the List of Recognized Standards, Recognition List Number: 036; 07/09/2014).
- 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." [Nov. 12, 2002]
Biocompatibility:
The predicate and subject devices are considered to be external communicating devices of permanent exposure (>30 days) per ISO 7405 and surface-contacting devices (mucosa) of permanent contact (>30 days) per ISO 10993-1. No changes have been made in the primary materials of construction from the sponsor's own predicate device. In some models, stainless steel connecting parts have been substituted with Polyoxymethylene (POM) or intraoral latex rubber elastomers.
No biocompatibility tests have been performed for the modified devices; the new materials have als o been used in other cleared intraoral devices and implantable devices.
Clinical Testing:
No clinical testing is required for these devices.
Risk Analysis:
A risk analysis including an evaluation of the materials of construction and design was performed. The function of mandibular advancement devices requires that the prescribing dentist be cognizant of the potential for TMJ soreness, soft tissue soreness, and dentition complications (soreness, motion, loosening) by mandibular advancement. The contraindications, warnings, precautions, storage directions, prescription preparation instructions, fitting and adjustment directions are provided to avoid potential problems from arising or persisting with the dentition, tissue, or joints. A risk related to the polymer spacers was addressed. No significant new risks were identified.
Conclusions:
The subject devices have identical indications for use to the predicate devices. The intended use, materials of construction, technology, principle of operation, and designs of the SML-OSA2 Appliances are comparable to the legally marketed predicate. Therefore, the proposed SML-OSA2 Appliances are substantially equivalent to the predicate.
