No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and biocompatibility properties of a gel, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes.

MucoLock is described as having a "mechanical action which provides management of pain by adhering to the mucosal surface of the mouth, soothing oral lesions" which indicates a therapeutic purpose. It is also intended to treat various conditions like oral mucositis, stomatitis, and ulcers.

No
Explanation: The device, MucoLock, is described as having a mechanical action to soothe oral lesions by forming a protective layer. Its intended use and mechanism of action do not involve identifying, detecting, or monitoring a disease or condition, which are characteristics of a diagnostic device. It provides management of pain and protection, acting as a therapeutic or palliative device.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "low viscosity, pourable, and swish-able gel," indicating a physical substance, not software. The performance studies also focus on the physical properties and biological interactions of the gel.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a mechanical action (adhering to the mucosal surface) to manage pain and soothe oral lesions. This is a direct therapeutic or palliative action within the body, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a gel that forms a protective layer over the oral mucosa. This is a physical barrier, not a reagent or instrument used to analyze biological samples for diagnostic purposes.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (like saliva, tissue biopsies, etc.), detecting specific biomarkers, or providing information for diagnosis.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on biocompatibility and bioadhesiveness, which are relevant to a device that interacts directly with the body's tissues, not a diagnostic test.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease or condition. MucoLock does not fit this description.

Dear Gus Bassani:

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/cfpmp/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.

Comparison to Predicate Device:

The mode of action of MucoLock Oral Gel, which is via the formation of a protective layer over the oral mucosa, is similar to GelX.

While the chemical composition of film-forming polymers, preservatives and sweeteners differ, the differences do not raise concerns of safety and effectiveness because all MucoLock ingredients are listed in the GRAS SCOGS Database, in the GRAS Notice Inventory, or are commonly utilized in other approved oral products at levels consistent with those uses in the Inactive Ingredient Database. In addition, the proposed MucoLock Oral Gel features similar indications for use language, technological characteristics, and mode of action as stated above.

Performance TestingResult Summary
BioadhesivenessThe adherence and retention time of the
fluorescently labelled gel on the human oral
buccal tissue constructs were similar for both the
subject and device in the predicate family.

Clinical Performance Testing:

Clinical performance testing is not included.

Conclusion:

Based upon similarities in indications for use and technology, together with the results of non clinical performance testing, we believe that MucoLock is substantially equivalent to the predicate device GelX.
