## Device Story

SmartMouth DryMouth Oral Rinse is a water-soluble artificial saliva for home use in the oral cavity. The device consists of a two-part liquid formulation containing water, plant-based humectants, thickeners, binders, buffers, sweeteners, flavor, and colorant.

The device functions by coating oral tissues to mimic natural saliva properties. It is an over-the-counter product intended for patient self-administration.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical tests were conducted. Evidence is based on bench testing, including shelf-life stability (36 months), comparative physical property analysis (appearance, color, odor, pH, viscosity, specific gravity, water content), and biocompatibility assessment per ISO 10993-1.

## Technological Characteristics

Artificial saliva formulation containing water, plant-based humectants, thickeners/binders, buffers, sweeteners, flavor, and colorant. Two-part liquid system. Packaged in PET bottles with polypropylene cap/spout. Non-sterile. No electronic components or software.

Dear H. Jenkins:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 

{1}------------------------------------------------

801); medical device 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/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.htm); 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 Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

#### Predicate Devices

#### Technological characteristics and comparison

SmartMouth® DryMouth Oral Rinse is substantially equivalent to Biotene Dry Mouth Oral Rinse and Hyrdis Oral Rinse. They utilize the same fundamental scientific technology (a formulation of water, humectants or moisturizers, thickening/binding agents, buffering agents, sweeteners, flavor, surfactants and preservatives). All three devices also have substantially equivalent Indications for Use: predominantly providing relief from dry mouth.

Although the subject device and predicate devices are similar, the subject device differs slightly in terms of exact indications for use, packaging, labeling, and ingredient composition. In particular, the subject device indications for use includes a 'freshens breath' indication, but this addition (along with the corresponding differences in labeling) is an extension of the more general "refreshes" indication of the predicate devices. The ingredient composition of the subject device aligns with the composition of the product as it is marketed for cosmetic purposes, which is the reason for the two liquid system of the device. These differences however do not raise concerns of safety and effectiveness, as demonstrated by the physical properties comparison data generated from comparative testing of the subject device and the predicate devices, as well as the biocompatibility assessment conducted on the subject device. And despite these differences between the subject device and predicate devices, the predicate devices were selected as such by

the applicant because of the similarities in terms of overall indications for use, intended use, and mechanics of the dry mouth relief benefits provided by all three devices.

Other similarities between the subject device and predicate devices include the OTC intended home use; the same thickener/binder between the subject device and reference device; similar appearance, color, specific gravity, odor, pH, viscosity, and water content. Because of these similarities, the Biotene and Hydris products were selected by the applicant as the predicate devices, and any slight differences between the proposed device and the predicate devices do not raise issues of safety and effectiveness.

### Non Clinical Tests performed:

Shelf-life stability testing, physical property comparison data, and a biocompatibility assessment demonstrate that the SmartMouth® DryMouth Oral Rinse (a) meets device specifications, and (b) is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices:

- Shelf-Life Stability Testing provides for a 36 month shelf life of the subject device, which is the same as the primary predicate device.
- Comparative physical property data of SmartMouth® DryMouth Oral Rinse and -Predicate/Reference Devices demonstrate substantial equivalence in terms of Appearance, Color, Odor, pH, Viscosity, Specific Gravity, Water Content.
- -Biocompatibility assessment accordance with the FDA guidance document "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1. Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" and an analysis based on use of the product as an oral rinse, demonstrates that SmartMouth® DryMouth Oral Rinse is safe for use as directed.

#### Clinical test:

No clinical tests were conducted in support of this 510(k) submission.

#### Conclusion

Based upon similarities in indications for use and technology, as well as non-clinical performance testing, SmartMouth® DryMouth Oral Rinse is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices Biotene Dry Mouth Oral Rinse (K123731) and Hydris Oral Rinse (K163029).
