Intended Use
The Encore System is intended for anterior advancement of the tongue base and hyoid suspension. It is indicated for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and / or snoring.
Device Description
The Encore System is designed for anterior tongue base suspension by fixation of the soft tissue of the tongue base to the mandible bone and hyoid bone suspension to the mandible bone using a bone screw and suspension lines. The Encore System consists of 1) an integrated suture passer pre-loaded with size #2-0 braided polyester suture, 2) three (3) bone screws and two (2) bone screw inserters, 3) a suspension line lock tool, 4) a threading tool, and 5) a drill bit. In addition, a #2 braided polyethelene suspension line is provided. All components are provided sterile.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical components and material strength, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and/or snoring, which are medical conditions, and it is designed to achieve this through physical intervention (anterior advancement of the tongue base and hyoid suspension).

No

This device is designed for anterior advancement of the tongue base and hyoid suspension to treat obstructive sleep apnea, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a suture passer, bone screws, inserters, a suspension line lock tool, a threading tool, a drill bit, and suspension lines.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "anterior advancement of the tongue base and hyoid suspension" and is indicated for the "treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and / or snoring." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body for therapeutic purposes.
  • Device Description: The components listed (suture passer, bone screws, suspension lines, tools) are all instruments and materials used in a surgical procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Encore System does not interact with or analyze such specimens.

Therefore, the Encore System is a surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

Performance testing was conducted to confirm that the #2 braided polyethelene suspension line has sufficuent strength to suture strength to resist breakage. A Suture Tensile Strength Test was conducted to determine the amount of force applied to the suture until the suture breaks. The results of this test confirmed that the strength of the #2 braided polyethylene suspension is similar to that of the existing #2 braided polyester suspension line.

§ 872.5570 Intraoral devices for snoring and intraoral devices for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.

(a)
Identification. Intraoral devices for snoring and intraoral devices for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea are devices that are worn during sleep to reduce the incidence of snoring and to treat obstructive sleep apnea. The devices are designed to increase the patency of the airway and to decrease air turbulence and airway obstruction. The classification includes palatal lifting devices, tongue retaining devices, and mandibular repositioning devices.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for these devices is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Intraoral Devices for Snoring and/or Obstructive Sleep Apnea; Guidance for Industry and FDA.”

Dear Michael Kolber:

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.

The fundamental scientific technology and technological characteristics of the Encore System are the same as the predicate device including mechanism of action, packaging, biocompatibility, sterilization, and labeling. The Encore System now includes a #2 braided polyethylene suspension line and a drill bit.

Summary of Non-Clinical Testing

Performance testing was conducted to confirm that the #2 braided polyethelene suspension line has sufficuent strength to suture strength to resist breakage. A Suture Tensile Strength Test was conducted to determine the amount of force applied to the suture until the suture breaks. The results of this test confirmed that the strength of the #2 braided polyethylene suspension is similar to that of the existing #2 braided polyester suspension line.

Conclusion

Based on the intended use and technological characteristics together with results from the nonclinical performance testing, we believe that the subject device Encore System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device K183310.
