The O2Vent W 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 W is an oral appliance and is intended to reduce or alleviate snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The O2Vent W is made up of two parts: 1. 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 (3D printed). The upper titanium tray has two side protrusions (wings) that extend vertically down to interface with the lower acrylic tray for titration of the device. The upper tray is lined with acrylic insert, and is customized to patient bite and impression. 2. The Lower Tray customized to the lower teeth, positions the lower jaw forward, preventing the soft tissue of the throat from collapsing and obstructing the airway. The lower tray features an adjuster assembly set into the acrylic, comprising of an adjuster block and also adjustment screws each located on either side of the lower arch. The adjuster block interfaces with the side protrusions on the upper tray to provide titration. The screws are adjusted with an Adjustment Key for mandibular adjustment to be set by the dentist and/or by the patient under the direction of the dentist.
The provided text does not contain information about the acceptance criteria or a study proving that the O2Vent W device meets specific performance criteria. Instead, it is a 510(k) summary for the device, focusing on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than proving performance against specific acceptance criteria through a clinical study.
Here's what can be extracted from the document regarding testing, and why it doesn't align with the detailed request:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
This information is not available in the provided text. The document focuses on comparing the O2Vent W to predicate devices based on design features, intended use, and materials.
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
No clinical study with a test set is described. Non-clinical testing was performed, but sample sizes for these tests are not mentioned.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
Not applicable, as no ground truth for a test set is described in the context of a clinical study for performance evaluation.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable.
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
Not applicable. This device is an oral appliance, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool involving human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable, as this is a medical device, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
Not applicable. The document states that "Human clinical studies were not deemed necessary to evaluate the substantial equivalence of the O2Vent W".
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable, as no training set for an algorithm is discussed.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable.
Information that is present regarding testing:
-
Summary of Non-Clinical Tests (Page 8):
- Scope: Risk assessment of physical properties and ability to achieve intended use.
- Preliminary Testing: Performed to confirm design can withstand forces during normal use and reasonable abuse (e.g., bruxing).
- Results: The O2Vent W "met the specifications set." (Specific specifications are not detailed).
- Materials: New materials (adjustment screws) are made of special grade stainless steel, have prior 510(k) approval, and are widely used in dental appliances, matching those in the predicate SOMNODENT CLASSIC device.
- Biocompatibility: An assessment was performed. No new materials were used; all materials are already in predicate devices (O2Vent T & OVENT). Biocompatibility testing of the adjustment screws was deemed not warranted due to their source, nature, and long history of safe use in the intraoral environment. The device is considered biocompatible based on similar materials to predicate devices (O2Vent T, OVENT & SOMNODENT CLASSIC).
-
Summary of Clinical Tests (Page 8):
- Conclusion: Human clinical studies were not deemed necessary for substantial equivalence due to:
- Designs not dissimilar from predicate devices.
- No new technologies different from legally-marketed intra-mandibular repositioning devices.
- No deviation from indications for use of predicate devices (O2Vent T, OVENT, SOMNODENT CLASSIC).
- Risk Management: Risks and mitigating controls (e.g., potential for soreness) are addressed by advising patients and dentists in the "Instructions for Use," covering contraindications, warnings, precautions, storage, fitting, and adjustment.
- Conclusion: Human clinical studies were not deemed necessary for substantial equivalence due to:
In essence, the document confirms that the O2Vent W underwent non-clinical testing for usability and material safety, met its internal specifications for these tests, and was deemed not to require clinical studies for its 510(k) submission based on its substantial equivalence to existing devices. Specific quantitative acceptance criteria and detailed performance data from a clinical study are not provided.

- This is assumed as the predicate devices are FDA 510(k) cleared and are currently on the OVENT device was tested as part of this submission. Biocompatibility was not performed on the O Vent W device as the materials used in the device were similar to that of OVENT.
Note (1) The OVENT has a choice of lingual flance (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 W, Q2Vent T and OVENT all have a dedicated breathing port (delivering air to the mouth) to allow the user to breathe through their mouth if they want, the SOMNODENT CLASSIC allows users to open their mouth to a degree.
Note (4) The OVENT requires a new insert to be made for mandbular adjustment, the O2Vent W, O2Vent T and SOMNODENT CLASSIC device can be adjusted by the clinician or patient through the adjustment screws and the adjustment key.
Note (5) The OxVent W, O2Vent T and OVENT use 3D printed titanium trays and stainless steel screws (only for O2 Vent T) and the SOMNODENT CLASSIC uses stainless steel screws and ball clasps.
{8}------------------------------------------------
| Summary of Non ClinicalTests | The non-clinical testing included risk assessment of the physicalproperties of the O2Vent W and its ability to achieve its intendeduse.Preliminary testing was carried out to confirm that the designcan withstand forces applied during normal use and alsoreasonable abuse in cases such as bruxing. The O2Vent W metthe specifications set. |
|---|---|
| The only new material that was incorporated in the O2Vent Ware the adjustment screws which have been granted prior 510(k)approval, made of special grade stainless steel and have beenwidely used in manufacturing of dental appliances. Thespecifications of the adjuster screws are same as in the predicateSOMNODENT CLASSIC device. No other risks are introducedin the device. The O2Vent W 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 new materials are being used in the device; all materials arealready used in the predicate devices (O2Vent T & OVENT).No new risks are introduced in the new device apart from thetwo adjustment screws on the lower tray, which are not presentin the predicate O2Vent T & OVENT devices, however arepresent in the SOMNODENT CLASSIC predicate device. Thesescrews have been granted prior 510(k) approval, made of specialgrade stainless steel and have been widely used in themanufacturing of dental appliances. | |
| Our conclusion is that biocompatibility testing of the adjustmentscrews is not warranted due to the source and nature of thecomponent, it has long been used in intraoral environment (i.e.mucosal, gingival, and palatal) with prolonged contact and hasbeen widely used in the manufacturing of dental appliances. | |
| The device is deemed to be biocompatible, based on thesimilarity of the materials of constructions to the predicatedevices (O2Vent T, OVENT & SOMNODENT CLASSIC). | |
| Summary of Clinical Tests | Human clinical studies were not deemed necessary to evaluatethe substantial equivalence of the O2Vent W, as the O2Vent Wdoes 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 O2Vent T, OVENT and SOMNODENT CLASSIC.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 W and predicate devicesO2Vent T & OVENT is the method of adjustment:• O2Vent W allows protrusion of the mandible from theoriginal treatment position via use of adjuster assemblylocated on both sides of the lower arch, whereas O2Vent Tallows protrusion via a single screw mechanism in the frontof the device and additional impressions or laboratoryprocedures are required for OVENT.• The adjustments can be made by the clinician or by thepatient under the direction of the clinician for the O2VentW and O2Vent T device, however it is not possible in caseof the OVENT device. |
| • Additionally, in order to facilitate the titration of the device,the O2Vent W have a separate upper tray with sideprotrusions (wings) and lower tray with the adjusterassembly on both the side that interface with theprotrusions, while O2Vent T has separate upper and lowertrays connected via the screw mechanism in the front of thedevice, and the OVENT has a monobloc design. | |
| No new risks are introduced in the new device apart from the wingsand two adjustment screws, which are not present in the predicateO2Vent T and OVENT device, however are present in theSOMNODENT CLASSIC predicate device. | |
| The treatment outcomes for O2Vent W, O2Vent T and OVENT areexpected to be equivalent as the final levels of mandibularprotrusion and the provision for oral breathing via the customizedairway is same for each device. | |
| The difference between the proposed O2Vent W and predicatedevice SOMNODENT CLASSIC is the location of the wings and | |
| titration blocks, which is switched between the upper and lowertrays. The purpose of the wings and the titration blocks is tostabilize the mandible in a more advanced position and thus be ableto advance the mandible forward incrementally to reduce airwaycollapse during sleep. The fact that the wing is on the top part ofthe device as opposed to the bottom is inconsequential as itachieves the same purpose of mandibular advancement in thisregard. | |
| Hence the differences mentioned are unlikely to adversely orotherwise affect the expected clinical outcomes for patients usingthe O2Vent W device as compared to those using the predicatedevices, thus not affecting the substantial equivalency of theproposed device. | |
| Conclusion on Non Clinicaland Clinical Tests | The O2Vent W 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. |
