Intraoral Pressure Gradient Device

Page Type
Product Code
Definition
This intraoral device is electrically powered and operates by reducing the pressure in the oral cavity (by way of tubing and a noninvasive oral interface) to create a continuous positive pressure gradient from the airway to the oral cavity that urges the soft palate and tongue forward. It is intended to be used while a patient is sleeping to treat obstructive sleep apnea.

CFR § 872.5570 Intraoral devices for snoring and intraoral devices for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea

§ 872.5570 Intraoral devices for snoring and intraoral devices for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.

(a) 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.

(b) 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.”
