No
The summary describes a mechanical device (tongue stabilizing device) and mentions clinical studies, but there is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any computational analysis that would suggest the use of AI/ML.
Yes
The device is intended for the "treatment of simple snoring" and "in patients with periodontically comprised dentitions and likewise patients presenting with Tempero-mandibular Dysfunction (TMD)," which indicates a therapeutic purpose.
No
The intended use description focuses on treatment ("treatment of simple snoring") and improving function ("improving airway patency and function"), rather than diagnosing a condition. While it mentions "studies" that "established" certain findings, these are presented as underlying science justifying the device's mechanism of action for treatment, not as a function the device itself performs for diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states "TONGUE STABILIZING DEVICE," which implies a physical, hardware component used for tongue stabilization, not solely 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 treatment of simple snoring by physically stabilizing the tongue to improve airway patency. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples.
- Device Description: It's described as a "TONGUE STABILIZING DEVICE," which aligns with a physical device used for treatment.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition based on laboratory testing.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is purely mechanical and therapeutic.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
To be used for the treatment of simple snoring in both dentate and edentult patients. Can be used also for the treatment of snoring in patients with periodontically comprised dentitions and likewise patients presenting with Tempero-mandibular Dysfunction (TMD). Cephalometric and videoendoscopy studies have established that tongue protrusion creates a greater, increase in oropharyngeal, velopharyngeal and hypopharyngeal cross-sectional areas of the upper airway, hence improving airway patency and function.

§ 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.”
