The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical repositioning and user experience, with no mention of AI/ML terms or data processing related to learning algorithms.
Yes
The device is intended for the reduction of snoring, which is a physiological condition, indicating a therapeutic purpose.
No
Explanation: The device is intended for the reduction of snoring by repositioning the jaw; it does not diagnose any condition.
No
The device description explicitly states it is an "intraoral device" consisting of "two custom fabricated trays," which are physical hardware components.
Based on the provided information, the SnoreRx is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "as an aid for the reduction of snoring." This is a physical intervention to address a physiological issue (snoring), not a test performed on biological samples to diagnose or monitor a condition.
- Device Description: The device is an "intraoral device that repositions the jaw anteriorly." This describes a physical appliance used within the mouth.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of:
- Testing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment decisions based on laboratory results
IVDs are devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. The SnoreRx does not fit this description. It is a physical device used to alter the anatomy to reduce snoring.

Device Description
The SnoreRx is an intraoral device that repositions the jaw anteriorly in order to increase the patient's pharyngeal space, which improves the ability to exchange air and decreases air turbulence, a causative factor in snoring. The device consists of two custom fabricated trays that fit separately over the upper and lower dental arches and engage each other in the anterior area of the mouth.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
A retrospective study was conducted to gain insight on the user's experience with the predicate device, including incidence of tooth movement, breakage, and other side effects typically experienced by users of intraoral devices.
A human factors assessment was also performed for the use of SnoreRx in the OTC environment.
Additionally, a usability study was performed to assess the OTC consumer's understanding of the device labeling and instructions for use, and to demonstrate that the OTC consumer can appropriately prepare, fit, and adjust the SnoreRx without assistance from a dental professional.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Nonclinical Testing:
The SnoreRx materials were tested for cytotoxicity, irritation, and sensitization and were determined to be biocompatible in accordance with ISO 10993. Biocompatibility test reports have been submitted as part of this filing.
Device materials were tested for various physical properties. The tray material was tested for flexural modulus and strength (ISO 178), stress and strain at break (ISO 527), and water absorption (ISO 62). The liner material was tested for melting point (ISO 3146), and density and melt flow rate (ISO 1183). All materials met device specifications.

§ 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.”

Dear Dr. Smith:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of August 18, 2017.
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Actinclude requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

| Nonclinical Testing: | The SnoreRx materials were tested for cytotoxicity, irritation, and sensitization and were determined to be biocompatible in accordance with ISO 10993. Biocompatibility test reports have been submitted as part of this filing. |
|---|---|
| Device materials were tested for various physical properties. The tray material was tested for flexural modulus and strength (ISO 178), stress and strain at break (ISO 527), and water absorption (ISO 62). The liner material was tested for melting point (ISO 3146), and density and melt flow rate (ISO 1183). All materials met device specifications. | |

| Additionally, a usability study was performed to assess the OTC consumer's understanding of the device labeling and instructions for use, and to demonstrate that the OTC consumer can appropriately prepare, fit, and adjust the SnoreRx without assistance from a dental professional. | |
| Conclusion of Comparison: SnoreRx and its predicate are technologically identical and there are no differences in design and materials. The SnoreRx is fitted by the 'boil-and-bite' method that is equivalent to that used for multiple OTC devices. The OTC indication for use does not raise substantial new questions of safety or effectiveness. Therefore, the new device (SnoreRx) is determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device. |
