The provided text describes the regulatory clearance for the Oral-B® Dry Mouth Oral Rinse and details its characteristics and performance. Here's a breakdown based on your request:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The FDA clearance for this device is based on a "substantial equivalence" determination rather than specific pre-defined acceptance criteria for performance metrics in the way a diagnostic device might have. Substantial equivalence means the device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device. The performance data presented focuses on demonstrating this equivalence.
| Feature / Criteria | Acceptance (Implied by Substantial Equivalence Determination) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|

| Indication for Use | Relieves symptoms & discomfort of dry mouth, refreshes, moisturizes/hydrates, soothes oral irritation, lubricates oral dryness, and provides long-lasting relief (up to 4 hours), similar to predicate and supported by clinical data. | Relieves the symptoms and discomfort of dry mouth, refreshes, moisturizes/hydrates, soothes oral irritation and lubricates oral dryness. Provides long lasting relief for up to 4 hours. (Supported by clinical study showing effectiveness vs. water and potential superiority to comparator). |
| Biocompatibility | Consistent with ISO 10993-1 and predicate device. | Demonstrated consistent with FDA guidance "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1. Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process." |
| Chemical & Physical Properties (pH, Viscosity, etc.) | Comparable to predicate device such that differences do not raise safety/effectiveness concerns. | pH: 5.5 - 6.4 (Predicate: 5.5-7.0) Viscosity: > 29 cP (Predicate: 20.39 Sct (22.0 cP*)) Specific Gravity: 1.04 (Predicate: 1.06) Surface Tension: Not explicitly quantified for subject, but "comparative chemical and physical property data... support a finding of substantial equivalence." |
| Shelf Life Stability | Demonstrated 24-month shelf life. | Shelf life stability testing provides for a 24-month shelf life of the subject device. |
| Effectiveness in Relieving Dry Mouth Symptoms | More effective than water for immediate moisturization and long-term relief, and demonstrates up to 4 hours duration of effect. | Clinical study demonstrated Oral-B® Dry Mouth Oral Rinse was more effective than water at providing immediate dry mouth moisturization and overnight and long-term relief of dry mouth symptoms. Pilot study results supported duration of effectiveness for up to 4 hours. |
| Safety | No novel materials not previously used in legally marketed US-medical devices, and no concerns raised by compositional differences compared to predicate. | "None of the constituents used in the device are novel materials not previously used in a legally marketed US-medical device)." Compositional differences "do not raise any concerns of safety and effectiveness." |
Note: The "acceptance criteria" here are implied by the FDA's regulatory standard of substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than specific numerical targets for performance metrics often seen in diagnostic AI/ML device clearances.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

PERFORMANCE DATA
Biocompatibility Testing
Biocompatibility was demonstrated consistent with FDA guidance "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1. Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process".
Non-Clinical Bench Testing
Comparative chemical and physical property data for the subject and predicate device support a finding of substantial equivalence in terms of pH, specific gravity, surface tension and viscosity.
Shelf life stability testing provides for a 24-month shelf life of the subject device.
Clinical Testing
A controlled, randomized, 3-treatment, 3-period crossover clinical study was conducted to evaluate if Oral-B® Dry Mouth Oral Rinse and a marketed dry mouth rinse were more effective in relieving dry mouth symptoms, immediately and four hours after use, compared to water on day 1 and after four days of product use. The results of this study demonstrated that Oral-B® Dry Mouth Oral Rinse was more effective than water at providing immediate dry mouth moisturization and overnight and long-term relief of dry mouth symptoms. Analysis of the pilot study results support the Indications for Use statement of duration of effectiveness for up to 4 hours. Additionally, the data suggest that Oral-B® Dry Mouth Oral Rinse may be more effective than the comparator dry mouth oral rinse device.
CONCLUSION
Based on the intended use, technological characteristics, non-clinical performance data and the clinical data provided the subject device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed predicate device (K181134).
