Intended Use

The SomnoDent Herbst is intended for the treatment of nighttime snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea in patients 18 years of age or older.

Device Story

SomnoDent Herbst is a custom-fitted, patient-specific intraoral mandibular repositioning device. It functions by increasing pharyngeal space during sleep to improve airway exchange. The device consists of separate upper and lower trays with an adjustable Herbst-style titration mechanism, allowing dentists or physicians to set the degree of mandibular advancement. It is intended for use at home or in sleep laboratories. Patients clean and inspect the device daily. The device allows for mouth breathing and easy removal by disengaging the trays. By maintaining mandibular advancement, it helps alleviate snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, potentially improving patient sleep quality.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical testing was performed on the Herbst-style titration mechanism to ensure it meets performance requirements and withstands applicable pressures. No clinical data was provided.

Technological Characteristics

Intraoral mandibular repositioning device. Materials include acrylic or soft lining adhered to acrylic. Advancement mechanism constructed of surgical grade stainless steel. Adjustable coupling mechanism for titration. Customized fit for each patient. Non-powered, mechanical device.

Indications for Use

Indicated for treatment of nighttime snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea in adults 18 years of age or older.

Regulatory Classification

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.

Special Controls

*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.”

Jayne March 1, 2013 SomnoDent® Herbst Intraoral device for snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) Classification Name: Device. Anti-Snoring Regulation Number: 21 CFR 872.5570 LRK . Dental Predicate Devices: K050592, SomnoDent Classic K073004, SomnoDent Flex K121340, SomnoDent G2 #### Description of the device: The SomnoDent Herbst is an intraoral device intended for the treatment of nighttime snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea in patients 18 years of age or older. The device functions as a mandibular repositioner, which acts to increase the patient's pharyngeal space during sleep. The increase in the patient's pharyngeal space improves their ability to exchange air during sleep. The device is patient specific (it is customized for each patient) and has an adjustable coupling mechanism enabling the amount of mandibular advancement to be set by the dentist or physician at the time of fitting the device. The SomnoDent Herbst is a modification to the SomnoDent Classic (K050592) and SomnoDent Flex (K073004). The labeling is a modification to the SomnoDent G2 (K121340). The SomnoDent Herbst is identical to SomnoDent Classic and SomnoDent Flex, except for differences in the adjustment mechanism (which is a Herbst style titration mechanism). Any differences introduced by these modifications, when compared to the predicate product, do not introduce new safety issues. #### Indications for Use: The SomnoDent Herbst is intended for the treatment of nighttime snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea in patients 18 years of age or older. {1}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/1/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for SomnoMed.

The SomnoDent Herbst and predicate devices function as a mandibular repositioner, which acts to increase the patient's pharyngeal space during sleep. The increase in the patient's pharyngeal space improves their ability to exchange air during sleep. The devices are customized for each patient and have an adjustable coupling mechanism enabling the amount of mandibular advancement to be set by the dentist or physician at the time of fitting the device. The SomnoDent Herbst is identical to SomnoDent Classic, Flex, and G2 except for differences in the adjustment mechanism (which is a Herbst style titration mechanism. The SomnoDent Herbst will be available in one of two material types, acrylic (identical to SomnoDent Classic) or soft lining adhered to acrylic (SomnoDent Flex). Any differences introduced by these modifications, when compared to the predicate product, do not introduce new safety issues. ### Summary of Testing: To demonstrate substantial equivalence, testing was conducted on the advancement mechanism to ensure the device performed as intended and is safe and effective. Mechanical testing was conducted on the Herbst style titration mechanism of the subject device. Testing results indicate that the mechanism withstands applicable pressures, ensuring the device is safe and effective. The testing concluded that the advancement of the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device with regards to mechanical performance. Testing demonstrates that the subject device, the SomnoDent Herbst, is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate devices, the SomnoDent Classic and SomnoDent Flex. {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
