The device's intended use is to reduce snoring, not to diagnose a condition. It is an oral appliance that maintains an anterior positioning of the mandible, widening the pharyngeal airway.
No
The device description clearly states it is an "oral appliance comprised of an upper and lower tray constructed in one piece and joined by a flexible hinge," which is a physical hardware device.
Based on the provided information, the ZQuiet device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "as an aid in the reduction of snoring for adults". This is a physical intervention to address a physiological issue (snoring), not a test performed on biological samples to diagnose a condition or provide information about a physiological state.
- Device Description: The device is an oral appliance that physically repositions the jaw to open the airway. This is a mechanical action, not a diagnostic test.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Testing of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detection or measurement of analytes
- Providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition
Therefore, the ZQuiet device, as described, falls under the category of a medical device used for treatment or management of a condition, not for in vitro diagnosis.

The following sections provide a more detailed summary of the technological characteristics as compared to the predicate devices.
Technology - Mode of Action 10.1
The proposed and predicate devices are highly similar in terms of technology or mode of action as they are all intraoral devices intended for the purpose of reduction of snoring.
10.2 Indication for Use
Comparison of the Proposed ZQuiet device to the Predicate ZQuiet Devices
While there are minor differences in specific wording, the most substantial difference is in the use of the words "aid in the reduction of snoring" for the proposed device as compared to "treatment of snoring" for the ZQuiet predicates. This change reflects the consumer-oriented focus of reducing snoring as compared to someone who may need to be under a physician's or dentist's care. The proposed and predicate ZQuiet devices are all intended for adults. The proposed and K093407 predicate both additionally indicate that the minimum age of use is 18 years. The K090503 predicate does not mention a minimum adult age of use. The more recently cleared predicate and the proposed device differ in the identification of the device. The proposed device more simply mentions the product name "ZQuiet", where the K093407 predicate describes the "ZQuiet mandibular advancement device". None of the difference described effect the safety or performance of the device. Therefore, there is no negative impact on safety and effectiveness.
Comparison of the Proposed ZQuiet Device to the SnoreRx, K170825
The proposed ZQuiet device has an indication of use that states "ZQuiet is intended as an aid in the reduction of snoring for adults at least 18 years old." The predicate SnoreRx device has an indication for use that states "The SnoreRx is intended for use on adult patients 18 years of age or older as an aid for the reduction of snoring." There are no differences in the patient population and in the function which is aiding in the reduction of snoring. Therefore, there is no negative impact on safety and effectiveness related to the indications for use.
10.3 Design Principle
Comparison of the Proposed ZQuiet device to the Predicate ZQuiet Devices
The proposed and predicate ZQuiet devices are identical in design with the only difference being the degree of mandibular advancement. Both of the predicate devices had 6mm of mandibular advancement. The proposed ZQuiet has 2mm and 6mm of mandibular advancement to give the user the opportunity to find a device that works with their particular anatomy. The degree of mandibular advancement does not exceed the original cleared 6mm. Therefore, the proposed ZQuiet device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in
8
terms of the basic design and mandibular advancement and there is no negative impact on safety and effectiveness.
Comparison of the Proposed ZQuiet Device to the SnoreRx, K170825
The proposed ZQuiet device and predicate SnoreRx device are designed differently, but function similarly. The proposed device is molded in one piece from a material that is sufficiently stiff to retain the lower mandible in position throughout the night yet sufficiently pliable to allow small degrees of lateral movement of the mandible and remain comfortable for the user. To achieve different degrees of mandibular advancement, ZQuiet uses different molds to manufacture devices with different dimensions.
The predicate SnoreRx device uses a rigid outer tray and that contains a soft polymer that the user molds to the shape of their teeth using a boil and bite approach. The SnoreRx device uses an intra-device ratcheting mechanism to adjust the degree of mandibular advancement.
Despite the difference in the approach to achieving the degree in mandibular advance ment, the end result is the same. The mandible is advanced and the pharyngeal space is increased. Therefore, there is no negative impact on safety and effectiveness.
10.4 Prescription Status
The proposed ZQuiet is intended to be sold over-the-counter. Therefore, the product labeling has been modified to eliminate prescribing information. There have been no changes related to warnings or contraindications. The proposed product labeling now includes the STOP-Bang screening questionnaire in order to advise the user to consult a physician before product use if responses indicate a potential presence of sleep apnea or respiratory disorder. The predicate SnoreRx, K170825 has a clearance for over-the-counter use. Sleeping Well believes that through the redesign of the packaging by placing the warnings and precautions prominently on the outer packaging and instructions for use, and by providing the STOP-Bang Questionnaire to alert the user for the potential presence of complicating factors, the labeling is as safe and as effective as the OTC predicate, K170825. Therefore, there is no negative impact on safety and effectiveness.
10.5 Materials
The proposed ZQuiet device will be made with either clear or blue-tinted thermoplastic elastomer. These materials are identical to those referenced in the two Sleeping Well predicate devices with the following exception. Sleeping Well, LLC intends to be able to vary the amount of tint to aid in product differentiation. The proposed and predicate ZQuiet devices, are therefore, considered to be substantially equivalent in terms of materials and there is no negative impact on safety and effectiveness.
A comparison to the predicate SnoreRx is not possible because the materials of con-
9
struction are unknown.
Non-Clinical Testing 11
Non-clinical testing was not performed for this submission. However, Sleeping Well conducted a risk analysis on the device in accordance with ISO 14971:2007 and by taking into account the issues raised in the FDA guidance document "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Intraoral Devices for Snoring and/or Obstructive Sleep Apnea - Guidance for Industry and FDA". All identified risks have been addressed through device design or through communication with the user through the instructions for use.
12 Biocompatibility
Since the materials and methods of manufacture are identical to the materials and/or the base materials utilized in the K093407 and K090503 predicates, no additional biocompatibility testing was conducted.
Clinical Testing 13
No clinical testing was performed in association with this submission.
14 Conclusions
The results of the comparison of design. materials, intended use and technological characteristics demonstrate that the device is as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate devices. The packaging and labeling has been redesigned to provide sufficient information to the consumer to ensure the safe and effective over-the-counter use of the proposed device. Therefore, Sleeping Well, LLC concludes that the proposed ZQuiet is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate devices.
