More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on a mechanical appliance for repositioning the jaw and tongue, with no mention of AI/ML terms or data processing.

Yes.
The device is intended to alleviate snoring by repositioning the jaw and tongue to expand the airway, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is described as an "aid in the alleviation of snoring" by physically repositioning the jaw and tongue, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It does not identify or detect a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "Anti-snoring Appliance" that physically repositions the lower jaw and tongue, indicating it is a physical device, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • SNORE-CURE Function: The SNORE-CURE Anti-snoring Appliance is a physical device that is placed in the mouth to reposition the jaw and tongue. It does not perform any tests on bodily samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to alleviate snoring by physically altering the airway, not by analyzing biological markers.

The description clearly indicates a physical appliance used for a mechanical purpose, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The SNORE-CURE Anti-snoring appliance is preformed and is substantially similar in design, materials and function to the Snore-Guard product by Distar Incorporated cleared by FDA on April 14, 1989 under 510(k) K882303/C. The SNORE-CURE, like the predicate device, the Snore-Guard, advances the mandible anteriorly and open the mandible vertically. The SNORE-CURE appliance advances the mandible 6-7mm anteriorly with an average overjet of 4mm and opens the mandible 8mm. The Snore-Guard advances the mandible about 6-8mm anteriorly, and opens the mandible 7-8mm.

§ 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.”
