Re: DEN240077
Trade/Device Name: MuReva OM™
Regulation Number: 21 CFR 872.5595
Regulation Name: Intraoral phototherapy device
Regulatory Class: Class II
Product Code: SGQ

Dear Kristin Zielinski Duggan:

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has completed its review of your De Novo request for classification of the MuReva OM™, a prescription device under 21 CFR Part 801.109 with the following indications for use:

The MuReva OM™ is intended for use during radiation treatment to lower the severity of oral mucositis and associated complications with radiation induced oral mucositis in adult patients receiving radiation to less than 75% of their oral cavity with or without chemotherapy. This device is prescription use only (Rx only).

FDA concludes that this device should be classified into Class II. This order, therefore, classifies the MuReva OM™, and substantially equivalent devices of this generic type, into Class II under the generic name intraoral phototherapy device.

FDA identifies this generic type of device as:

**Intraoral phototherapy device.** An intraoral phototherapy device is an intraoral, non-ionizing, light-based device that is intended for non-surgical treatment of oral conditions such as oral mucositis.

Section 513(f)(2) of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) was amended by section 607 of the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) on July 9, 2012. This law provides two

options for De Novo classification. First, any person who receives a "not substantially equivalent" (NSE) determination in response to a 510(k) for a device that has not been previously classified under the Act may request FDA to make a risk-based classification of the device under section 513(a)(1) of the Act. On December 13, 2016, the 21st Century Cures Act removed a requirement that a De Novo request be submitted within 30 days of receiving an NSE determination. Alternatively, any person who determines that there is no legally marketed device upon which to base a determination of substantial equivalence may request FDA to make a risk-based classification of the device under section 513(a)(1) of the Act without first submitting a 510(k). FDA shall, within 120 days of receiving such a request, classify the device. This classification shall be the initial classification of the device. Within 30 days after the issuance of an order classifying the device, FDA must publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing the classification.

On December 23, 2024, FDA received your De Novo requesting classification of the MuReva OM™. The request was submitted under section 513(f)(2) of the FD&C Act. In order to classify the MuReva OM™ into class I or II, it is necessary that the proposed class have sufficient regulatory controls to provide reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device for its intended use. After review of the information submitted in the De Novo request, FDA has determined that, for the previously stated indications for use, the MuReva OM™ can be classified in class II with the establishment of special controls for class II. FDA believes that class II (special) controls provide reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device type. The identified risks and mitigation measures associated with the device type are summarized in the following table:

| Risks to Health | Mitigation Measures |
| --- | --- |
| Optical radiation performance outside of specification leading to treatment ineffectiveness | Clinical performance data
Non-clinical performance testing
Software validation, verification, hazard analysis
Electrical safety testing
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing
Labeling |
| Thermal or optical injury | Non-clinical performance testing
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing
Electrical safety testing
Software validation, verification, hazard analysis
Labeling |
| Device failure/malfunction leading to harm or injury to the patient (e.g., laceration, obstruction, discomfort) | Non-clinical performance testing |
| Software malfunction | Software verification, validation, and hazard analysis |
| Electrical shock or interference | Electrical safety testing
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing
Wireless coexistence testing |
| Adverse tissue reaction | Biocompatibility evaluation |
| Infection and cross-contamination | Reprocessing validation |

Section 510(m) of the FD&C Act provides that FDA may exempt a class II device from the premarket notification requirements under section 510(k) of the FD&C Act, if FDA determines that premarket notification is not necessary to provide reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device type. FDA has determined premarket notification is necessary to provide reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device type and, therefore, the device is not exempt from the premarket notification requirements of the FD&C Act. Thus, persons who intend to market this device type must submit a premarket notification containing information on the intraoral phototherapy device they intend to market prior to marketing the device.

Please be advised that FDA's decision to grant this De Novo request does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the FD&C Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the FD&C Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the FD&C Act; 21 CFR 1000-1050).

All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System Rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.

A notice announcing this classification order will be published in the Federal Register. A copy of this order and supporting documentation are on file in the Dockets Management Branch (HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Room 1061, Rockville, MD 20852 and are available for inspection between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

As a result of this order, you may immediately market your device as described in the De Novo request, subject to the general control provisions of the FD&C Act and the special controls identified in this order.
