Intended Use
Orapeutic™ Oral Pain Gel manages the pain of oral wounds, mouth sores, injuries and ulcers of the oral mucosa. It adheres to oral tissue and forms a protective barrier between the wound and further irritation & contamination. Orapeutic™ Oral Pain Gel also maintains a moist wound environment.
Device Description
Orapeutic™ Oral Pain Gel is a viscous hydrogel wound dressing composed entirely of food grade ingredients including a food grade preservative system. It is designed to be physiologically compatible with both intact and compromised tissue in the mouth to manage the pain associated with injuries to the mouth. Orapeutic Oral Pain Gel's primary mode of action for pain relief is that it adheres to the wound surface, conforms to the contours of the wound, and protects the wound from contamination and irritation by forming a protective barrier. It also maintains a moist wound environment. Orapeutic Oral Pain Gel is provided in 10mL syringes.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and barrier function of a hydrogel, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Yes
The device is described as managing pain and forming a protective barrier for oral wounds, which are therapeutic actions. It also has a predicate device (Sock It! Oral Pain Gel) indicating it's a medical device.

No
The device is described as a hydrogel wound dressing that manages pain and protects oral wounds, not as a tool for diagnosis. Its performance studies focus on physical and microbial properties, not diagnostic capabilities.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "viscous hydrogel wound dressing" and is provided in "10mL syringes," indicating it is a physical substance, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to manage the pain of oral wounds, mouth sores, injuries, and ulcers by forming a protective barrier and maintaining a moist wound environment. This is a therapeutic action applied directly to the body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a hydrogel wound dressing applied topically to the oral mucosa. It's a physical barrier and wound care product.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to detect, measure, or analyze any substance or characteristic in a sample (like blood, urine, saliva, etc.) to provide diagnostic information.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health status, such as diagnosing a disease, monitoring treatment, or screening for conditions. This device does not fit that description.

Dear Brian Pikkula:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's

Device Description:

Orapeutic™ Oral Pain Gel is a viscous hydrogel wound dressing composed entirely of food grade ingredients including a food grade preservative system. It is designed to be physiologically compatible with both intact and compromised tissue in the mouth to manage the pain associated with injuries to the mouth.

Orapeutic Oral Pain Gel's primary mode of action for pain relief is that it adheres to the wound surface, conforms to the contours of the wound, and protects the wound from contamination and irritation by forming a protective barrier. It also maintains a moist wound environment.

Orapeutic Oral Pain Gel is provided in 10mL syringes.

Intended Use:

Orapeutic™ Oral Pain Gel manages the pain of oral wounds, mouth sores, injuries and ulcers of the oral mucosa. It adheres to oral tissue and forms a protective barrier between the wound and further irritation & contamination. Orapeutic™ Oral Pain Gel also maintains a moist wound environment.

Comparison of Technology

Orapeutic™ Oral Pain Gel and Sock It! are both hydrogels that manage the pain of oral wounds by forming a protective barrier between the wound and external environment. Both are provided as gels in ready to use syringes.

4

The formulations of Orapeutic™ Oral Pain Gel and Sock It! differ. The differences from the predicate does not affect the safety of the subject device because Orapeutic's components are all Food Grade with established safety profiles. The differences do not affect the efficacy of Orapeutic as demonstrated in the results of the comparative non-clinical performance testing submitted in this application.
