Intended Use

Our devices are indicated to treat mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in patients, 18 years of age or older.

Device Description

The Respire Pink AT (Hard, Hard/Soft, EF) is an oral appliance used in the treatment of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. This device helps move a patient's jaw forward, thus opening their airways, and allowing them to breathe more easily throughout the night. The Respire Pink AT (Hard, Hard/Soft, EF) is made out of dental industry standard acrylic resins & metals, and is custom designed to comfortably fit each patients' unique oral anatomy.

AI/ML Overview

The provided FDA 510(k) summary for the “Respire Pink AT (Hard, Hard/Soft, EF)” device focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than providing detailed acceptance criteria and a study report for the device's performance against specific clinical or technical metrics for disease treatment. This summary primarily relies on bench testing and a comparison to its predicate device to show safety and effectiveness.

Therefore, many of the requested details, such as specific acceptance criteria for diagnostic performance, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert qualifications for ground truth, adjudication methods, or results from MRMC or standalone studies, are not available in the provided text. The device is an oral appliance for treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), not a diagnostic tool where "acceptance criteria and reported device performance" as typically understood in AI/imaging devices would apply.

Here's a breakdown of the available information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria for device performance in treating OSA (e.g., AHI reduction, oxygen saturation). Instead, it relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device and successful completion of non-clinical tests.

TopicAcceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Mechanical Safety & PerformanceNot explicitly stated as quantitative metric; assumed to meet industry standards for durability, functionality, etc."Performs as well as the predicate device"
BiocompatibilityNot explicitly stated; assumed to meet ISO 10993 standards."Passed successfully"
Shipping ValidationNot explicitly stated; assumed to ensure device integrity during transport."Passed successfully"
Mandibular Advancement Range (Key change from predicate device)Predicate: 6mm Submitted Device: 7mm (allows for slightly more titration, consistent with other cleared devices)Achieved 7mm maximum mandibular advancement range.
Clinical Efficacy (Indirect)Assumed to be equivalent to the predicate device in treating mild to moderate OSA.No direct clinical efficacy data provided for the submitted device; equivalence is based on similar design and mechanism of action to predicate.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Sample size for test set: Not applicable/not provided. The "testing" mentioned is non-clinical bench testing.
  • Data provenance: Not applicable. The testing is laboratory-based, not patient data.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

  • Not applicable/not provided. Ground truth in the context of diagnostic performance (e.g., expert consensus on images) is not relevant to this type of device and testing. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests would be the established engineering and safety standards.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

  • Not applicable/not provided. Adjudication typically applies to multi-reader studies for diagnostic devices.

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 is not an AI-assisted diagnostic device, and no MRMC study was performed.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

  • Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used:

  • For the non-clinical tests (mechanical, biocompatibility, shipping validation), the "ground truth" implicitly refers to established engineering standards, material safety specifications (e.g., ISO 10993), and regulatory requirements for medical devices. The device was assessed against these benchmarks.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI device that uses a training set of data.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

  • Not applicable.

(4), The Respire Pink AT (Hard, Hard/Soft, EF) is an oral appliance used in the treatment of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. This device helps move a patient's jaw forward, thus opening their airways, and allowing them to breathe more easily throughout the night. The Respire Pink AT (Hard, Hard/Soft, EF) is made out of dental industry standard acrylic resins & metals, and is custom designed to comfortably fit each patients' unique oral anatomy.

(5) The intended use of the Respire Pink AT (Hard, Hard/Soft, EF) is "Our devices are indicated to treat mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in patients, 18 years of age or older.". Obstructive sleep apnea (or OSA) is a sleep disorder that occurs when a patient's throat muscles intermittently relax and block their airway during sleep. The intended used for the Respire Pink AT (Hard, Hard/Soft, EF) has the phrase "in adult patients" replaced and clarified with the phrase "18 years of age or older". This is not a new indication, rather just a clarification since both of the devices shown in the below comparison chart. Are for adult patients. This addition is not critical to the intended therapeutic use of the device, and does not affect the safety and effectiveness of the device when used as labeled because both the predicate devices, and Respire Pink AT (Hard/Soft, EF) have always been ordered by medical professionals for adult patients only.

(6) Respire Medical has developed its own custom telescopic arm, and this arm is the technological difference between the Respire Pink AT (Hard, Hard/Soft, EF), and its legally marketed predicate device; the Respire Pink (Hard, Hard/Soft, EF). This new arm was developed in order to create a hinge with more self-contained features, allow for more ease of titration, and more accurate titration/mandibular advancement readings. The below comparison chart summarizes features of the Respire Pink AT (Hard/Soft, EF), and its predicate; the Respire Pink (Hard, Hard/Soft, EF). The chart also further demonstrates the substantially equivalence of the Respire Pink AT (Hard, Hard/Soft, EF) to the Respire Pink (Hard, Hard/Soft, EF). The 1mm increase of the "Maximum mandibular Advancement range" identified in Figure 1. is meant to allow for slightly more titration. The extra millimeter (7mm) maximum advancement of the MIM Hinge allows adjustment consistent with other cleared devices.

Figure 1.

  • (b) (1) In order to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the Respire Pink AT (Hard, Hard/Soft, EF), bench testing was conducted on the device in order to ensure that it safely & effectively performs as intended. This testing included mechanical safety & performance validation, biocompatibility tests, and shipping validation tests. The results indicated that the Respire Pink AT (Hard, Hard/Soft, EF) performs as well as the predicate device.
    (2) N/A (Clinical Testing is not required per "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Intraoral Devices for Snoring and/or Obstructive Sleep Apnea – Guidance for Industry and FDA". This is due to the fact that none of the below criteria requiring clinical testing apply:

  • o "uses designs dissimilar from designs previously cleared under a 510(k)"

    • (the design for the Respire Pink AT (Hard, Hard/Soft, EF) is similar to the റ design for the Respire Pink (Hard, Hard/Soft, EF)
  • o "uses new technology, i.e., technology different from that used in leqally marketed intraoral devices for snoring and/or obstructive sleep apnea"

    • (the technology used for the Respire Pink AT (Hard, Hard/Soft, EF) is still O mandibular adjustment via titration)
  • o "makes changes in the indication for use."

    • (the intended use has not changed) O

(3) The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical tests demonstrate that the Respire Pink AT (Hard, Hard/Soft, EF) is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed predicate device. The mechanical safety & performance validation, biocompatibility tests, and shipping validation tests criteria were all evaluated thoroughly, and passed successfully.
