## Indication for Use Differences:
The indication for use statement of the predicate device is more specific than the indication for use statement of the subject device. The differences do not raise concerns as the intended use is the same.
## Technology Differences:
The CAPHOSOL® Artificial Saliva Tablets and Caphosol® Liguid Artificial Saliva active chemical components are identical, however the CAPHOSOL® Artificial Saliva Tablets formulation includes a diluent and effervescent agents, and does not contain water. The available physical form of the subject device is a dry tablet, whereas the predicate device is composed of two ampules containing different solutions to be mixed prior to use. The
{6}------------------------------------------------
excipients in the subject device formulation result in effervescence and complete dissolution of the table to obtain the final solution prepared after dissolution of a tablet or after mixing 2 ampules are identical in quantity of the active ingredients (Calcium and Phosphate).
The CAPHOSOL® Artificial Saliva Tablets is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices with regard to operating principle and function.
### Performance Testing:
Biocompatibility assessment conducted in accordance with ISO - 10993-1 Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1: Evaluation and Testing within a Risk Management Process.
### Non-Clinical and Clinical Studies:
Clinical performance testing was not conducted for the subject device.
A literature search has not shown any clinically significant adverse effects being reported.
### Conclusion:
Based on the similarities in intended use, technology, and performance testing, the CAPHOSOL Artificial Saliva Effervescent Tablets is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
