Intended Use
The Sleep-In™ Bone Screw System is intended for anterior advancement and suspension of the tongue base by means of a bone screw threaded with suture. It is indicated for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea ("OSA") and/or snoring.
Device Description
The Sleep-In™ Bone Screw System consists of three main components: a bone screw attached to surgical suture material, a bone screw inserter, and a suture passer. The Sleep-In™ Bone Screw is a sharp tipped, small diameter titanium screw with polypropylene monofilament no. 1 suture crimped into its base. The Sleep-In™ Bone Screw Inserter is a disposable, battery operated, single use device. The Sleep-In™ Suture Passer is designed to assist in passing the suture through the floor of the tongue during the Sleep-In™ procedure.

No
The device description and intended use focus on mechanical components and surgical procedure, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.

Yes.
The device is intended for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and/or snoring, which are medical conditions that the device aims to alleviate or cure.

No
The device is described as a system for treating obstructive sleep apnea and snoring by suspending the tongue base with a bone screw and suture, indicating a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components: a bone screw, a bone screw inserter (battery-operated), and a suture passer. These are hardware components, 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 for the anterior advancement and suspension of the tongue base to treat obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's anatomy.
  • Device Description: The device components (bone screw, inserter, suture passer) are all designed for surgical implantation and manipulation of tissue within the body.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide diagnostic information about a patient's condition. IVDs are used in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose diseases or conditions.

This device is a surgical implant and instrument system used for a therapeutic purpose, not a diagnostic one.

§ 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.”

Performance Standards:

No performance standards applicable to the bone screw systems have been established by the FDA. However, the titanium alloy 6AL-4V Eli alloy used to manufacture the Sleep-In™ Bone Screw meets the chemical and mechanical requirements in voluntary standards established by ASTM (F136-84).

Intended Use:

The Sleep-In™ Bone Screw System is intended for anterior advancement and suspension of the tongue base by means of a bone screw threaded with suture. It is indicated for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea ("OSA") and/or snoring.

System Description:

The Sleep-In™ Bone Screw System consists of three main components: a bone screw attached to surgical suture material, a bone screw inserter, and a suture passer. The Sleep-In™ Bone Screw is a sharp tipped, small diameter titanium screw with polypropylene monofilament no. 1 suture crimped into its base.

The Sleep-In™ Bone Screw Inserter is a disposable, battery operated, single use device. The Sleep-In™ Suture Passer is designed to assist in passing the suture through the floor of the tongue during the Sleep-In™ procedure.

Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence:

The performance characteristics of the Sleep-In™ Bone Screw System has been tested and approved through a series of in vitro and in vivo studies.

Furthermore, initial clinical experience with the Sleep-In™ Bone Screw System has demonstrated its potential for treating patients suffering from OSA and/or snoring.

The Sleep-In™ Bone Screw System, like its predicate devices the In-Fast™ Bone Screw System and the Mitek GII Anchor, is based on suspending soft tissue to fixed bone by means of sutures attached to bone screw.

In respect to the procedure, the Sleep-In™ System procedure is based upon well accepted and commonly used procedures like Hyoid Bone Suspension, Chin Osteotomy and Mandibular Advancement for the treatment of OSA and/or snoring.

The Sleep-In™ Bone Screw System is substantially equivalent to PM Positioner™ and the Snor-X Mouthguard with respect to the intended use for the treatment of OSA and/or snoring by means of repositioning of the tongue.

Re: K972023 K981677

Dear Mr. Guzek:

We have reviewed your letters, received January 8, 2009, stating that the rights to the above referenced premarket notification (510(k)) have been transfer of 510(k) rights alone does not require submission of a new 510(k) under 21 CFR 807.81(a)(3). Consequently, we cannot change the name of the original 510(k) submitter in our database. Please note, as per 21 CFR 807.85(b), a firm may not both manufacture and distribute a device under their own name without having their own 510(k).

We suggest that information showing the transfer of the 510(k) and its current ownership should be maintained in the company's files for review by an FDA investigator. You may contact the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0100 if you have any questions on what information we expect to be maintained in your files.

"Please note, under 21 CFR 807.81(a)(2) a firm may not both retain and transfer 510(k) marketing rights to another person, e.g., a contract manufacturer, because each person who manufactures and distributes a device must have their own 510(k), if the device is not exempt from the premarket notification requirement. Likewise, distributors need 510(k) clearances before marketing devices when they alter them by doing more than putting their name on the device, because such actions would disqualify them from the 510(k) distributor exemption under 21 CFR 807.85(b)."
