Intended Use
The SleepRight® ProRx® Custom Dental Guard is indicated for the protection against bruxism or nighttime teeth grinding. It is intended to reduce damage to the teeth and to prevent the noise associated with bruxing or grinding. Protection against teeth grinding, bruxism and jaw clenching. Short-term pain relief from muscle spasm due to occlusal interference. For the prevention of chronic tension and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome that is caused by chronic jaw clenching of the mandibular and maxillary teeth by the temporalis muscle.
Device Description
The SleepRight® ProRx® Custom Dental Guard is a full occlusal custom formable protector that provides a barrier between the upper and lower teeth. Contains a hard core material enveloped by a moldable thermoplastic. The guard is heated in hot (not boiling) water until it becomes malleable and then formed to the consumers upper teeth. To achieve a custom fit, the guard is inserted into the mouth and the side walls are gently pushed up to surround the teeth. The material hardens in roughly one minute. The SleepRight® ProRx® Custom Dental Guard has a tensile strength of 29 Mpa and a Shore D hardness value comparable to the primary predicate device, the ProTech Dent®.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and materials of the dental guard, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended to prevent or reduce damage to teeth from bruxism, prevent noise associated with grinding, provide short-term pain relief, and prevent chronic tension and TMJ syndrome, all of which are therapeutic indications.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a dental guard intended for protection against bruxism and teeth grinding, and for pain relief. It functions as a physical barrier and is formed to the user's teeth, not to diagnose any condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical dental guard made of hard core material and moldable thermoplastic, which is heated and formed to the teeth. This is a hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided information, the SleepRight® ProRx® Custom Dental Guard 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, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health. They are used outside of the body (in vitro).
  • SleepRight® ProRx® Function: The SleepRight® ProRx® Custom Dental Guard is a physical device that is placed inside the mouth to protect teeth and alleviate symptoms related to bruxism and TMJ. It does not analyze any biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a physical barrier and protective function within the mouth, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction and how it is molded to fit the teeth, further indicating a physical device for in-vivo use.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, using reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on biological markers.

Therefore, the SleepRight® ProRx® Custom Dental Guard is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than in vitro diagnostics.

Dear Samantha Schroeder:

We have reviewed vour 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 Act include 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
