Indications for Use
The SmartByte device is intended to aid in weight management in overweight to obese individuals. The device is indicated for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) in the range of 27-35 kg/m² in conjunction with behavioral modification instruction.
Device Story
Oral removable palatal space-occupying device; includes temperature sensor to monitor usage; worn during eating episodes. Healthcare professional uses Palatal Mold Kit to create custom device. Optional SmartByte Reader collects usage data; transmits wirelessly via Bluetooth to mobile application. Patient uses app to view adherence and weight management progress. Device aids weight management by occupying palatal space during meals. No changes to oral component from predicate; modification limited to software platform transition from PC-based to mobile application.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data presented. Substantial equivalence supported by software verification and validation testing and electrical safety testing (IEC 60950-1).
Technological Characteristics
Removable palatal space-occupying device; custom-fitted via Palatal Mold Kit. Includes temperature sensor for usage monitoring. Connectivity via Bluetooth for wireless data upload to mobile application. Biocompatible per ISO 10993. Not sold sterile.
Indications for Use
Indicated for overweight to obese individuals with a BMI of 27-35 kg/m² to aid in weight management, used in conjunction with behavioral modification instruction.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An oral removable palatal space occupying device for weight management and/or weight loss is a prescription device that is worn during meals to limit bite size, thereby reducing the amount of food that is consumed. The device may contain recording sensors for monitoring patient use. This classification does not include devices that are intended to treat any dental diseases or conditions
Special Controls
In combination with the general controls of the FD&C Act, the Oral removable palatal space occupying device for weight management is subject to the following special controls:
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:(1) The patient-contacting components of the device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible for its intended use. (2) Non-clinical performance testing must demonstrate that the device performs as intended under anticipated conditions for use, as follows: (i) Mechanical testing must demonstrate that the device performs as intended for the labeled use life and does not create forces that result in movement of teeth and damage to teeth. (ii) Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing must demonstrate that the device performs as intended. (iii) Software verification and validation must demonstrate that the device performs as intended. (iv) Battery testing must demonstrate that the device battery performs as intended. (3) Clinical performance testing must demonstrate the device performs as intended and must include an evaluation for choking. (4) Device labeling must address the following: (i) Patient labeling must state: (A) The clinical benefit of weight management and/or weight loss as assessed by using percent total body weight loss; (B) Treatment must be offered in combination with a behavioral modification program; (C) Instructions on how to use the device as intended; and (D) The use life of the device. (ii) Physician labeling must state: (A) The clinical benefit of weight management and/or weight loss as assessed by using percent total body weight loss; (B) Treatment must be offered in combination with a behavioral modification program; (C) Instructions on how to use the device as intended; and (D) The use life of the device. (5) Training must be provided to health professionals that includes procedures for determining a patient's oral health status, instructions for making the palatal mold, and assessment of issues with the device that may require service by the manufacturer.
