The 510(k) summary describes a physical oral protector and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any software-driven analytical capabilities.
No
The device is described as an "oral protector" to prevent injury during seizures or cardioversion. Its purpose is protective, not therapeutic (i.e., it does not treat or cure a disease or condition).
No
Explanation: The device is described as an "oral protector" used during seizures or for protection of the mouth structures, indicating a therapeutic or protective function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device is described as an "oral protector," which is a physical object, not software. The description of its use during seizures and for protecting teeth, lips, tongue, and buccal mucosa further indicates a physical device.
Based on the provided information, the Somatics Ventil-A™ oral protector is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use describes a device used in vivo (within the body) to protect oral structures during medical procedures or events. IVDs are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose or monitor medical conditions.
- Device Description: While the description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly indicates a physical device for oral protection, not a reagent, instrument, or software for analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD-related information: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological specimens
- Providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests
- Using reagents or calibrators
Therefore, the Somatics Ventil-A™ oral protector is a medical device, but it falls under a different regulatory category than In Vitro Diagnostics.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Somatics Ventil-A™ oral protector is a single-use (disposable) oral protector for use during seizures (e.g., during convulsive therapy, spontaneous seizures), or for protection of the teeth, lips, tongue, and buccal mucosa (e.g., during cardioversion).

Dear Dr. Abrams:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
