Device Story
Respire Pink Series-Herbst is a custom-fitted, two-piece mandibular advancement splint (MAS) made of acrylic; used to treat snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. Device holds the mandible in a forward position to maintain an open airway during sleep. Features telescopic Herbst hardware on the buccal aspect allowing lateral and protrusive jaw movement while preventing retrusion; adjustable via titration keys and screws for incremental advancement. Available in Hard/Soft (dual laminate) or Hard (all-acrylic) configurations. Used by patients at home; prescribed by clinicians. Benefits include increased pharyngeal opening, improved airflow, and patient comfort due to tongue space design. Upper and lower trays unhook for easy removal.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical evaluation and observation results demonstrated success in reducing snoring and apneic events as measured by polysomnograms. Bench testing confirmed all test method acceptance criteria were met, demonstrating results equivalent to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Customized two-piece mandibular advancement splint. Materials: Acrylic (polyethyleneterephthalate) trays, stainless steel hardware. Biocompatibility per ISO 7405:2008. Features telescopic Herbst hardware, ball clasps, and titration keys for up to 8 mm of mandibular advancement. Non-powered, mechanical device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
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.”

#### ರಿ Device Description
Respire Pink Series - Herbst is a customized device for each patient which consists of two dental plates, upper and lower, made of Acrylic.
The Respire Pink Series – Herbst is a mandibular advancement splint that holds the jaw in a forward position to help keep the tongue and supporting tissues in a position to help maintain an open airway, which in turn helps in the treatment of snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
The Herbst hardware on the side of the devices allow the patient to move forward and left and right, but not backwards. These movements give the patient some freedom to move which is important for their comfort and overall success of the device.
The upper and lower components are connected by an adjustable hinge, thus patient can open and close while wearing the appliances.
Respire Pink Series - Herbst are offered in two options: {1) Hard/Soft which has a dual laminate layer that provides a soft layer on the tooth surface (2) Hard devices which are all acrylic and retained with ball clasps, this allows the device to be tightened if it it becomes loose.

# EDICAL REGISTRATION
As similar to its predicate device Respire Pink Series is a customized device, consists of two parts, upper and lower trays, made of acrylic. The difference between the Respire Blue Series and the Respire Pink Series is related to the hardware/components that are used on the buccal aspect to hold the lower jaw in a forward position.
The differences between Respire Pink Series – Herbst to SUAD appliance is that Respire Pink acrylic contour is designed to increase tonque space which is more comfortable for patient use. Respire Pink appliance is adjustable using titration keys and a screw which enables the jaw to be brought forward in small advancements. The design differences emphasis the advantages of Respire Pink Series technology and thus, raise no new safety and/or effectiveness issues. Respire Pink Series the same technological characteristics as its predicate devices and raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness, thus, the Respire Pink Series is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.
Risk Assessment performance has demonstrated no new safety and/or effectiveness issues.
Bench testing results have demonstrated that all test method acceptance criteria were met and demonstrated equivalent results to the predicated devices. Thus, Respire Pink Series shares similarity with its predicate devices and raise no new safety and/or effectiveness issues.
Clinical testing - Clinical evaluation and observation results have demonstrated the success rate of reduction of snoring and the success rate of reduction of apneic events measured by polysomnograms. Thus, Respire Pink Series shares similarity in the indication of use and raise no new safety and/or effectiveness issues.
### Conclusion:
As verified by clinical and non clinical data, bench testing and substantial equivalence table, Respire Pink Series shares similarity with its predicated device by term of intended use, raw material and technical design. The fundamental scientific technology of the device is identical or very similar to the referenced predicate devices, thus Respire Pink Series is as safe and effective for its intended use and performs as well the predicate device.
