Indications for Use

The AlRvance™ Bone Screw System is intended for anterior tonque base suspension by fixation of the soft tissue of the tonque base to the mandible bone using a bone screw with pre-threaded suture. It is indicated for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and/or snoring. The AlRvance™ Bone Screw System is also suitable for the performance of a hyoid suspension procedure which can be used in combination with other procedures for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It is indicated for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and/or snoring.

Device Story

System comprises titanium bone screw with pre-attached polypropylene monofilament suture, disposable battery-operated screw inserter, and suture passer. Used by surgeons in clinical settings for tongue base and hyoid suspension procedures. Principle of operation involves mechanical fixation of soft tissue to bone to advance hypopharyngeal tissues, expand hypopharyngeal space, and reduce airway collapsibility. Output is physical stabilization of airway tissues. Benefits include reduction of hypopharyngeal airway compromise in OSA patients. Device is physically identical to predicate.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data generated for this device. Evidence consists of a summary of peer-reviewed literature regarding hyoid suspension procedures, demonstrating efficacy in reducing hypopharyngeal airway compromise and treating OSA.

Technological Characteristics

Titanium bone screw; polypropylene monofilament no. 1 suture; disposable, battery-operated, single-use inserter; suture passer. Mechanical fixation principle. No software or electronic processing.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and/or snoring requiring anterior tongue base suspension or hyoid suspension procedures.

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.”

Bone Screw System (K122391)

# System Description:

The AlRvance™ Bone Screw System consists of three main components: a bone screw attached to surgical suture material, a bone screw inserter, and a suture passer. The AlRvance™ bone screw is a sharp tipped, small diameter titanium screw with polypropylene monofilament no. 1 suture crimped into its base. The AlRvance™ Bone Screw Inserter is a disposable, battery operated, single use device. The AlRvance™ Suture Passer is designed to assist in passing the suture through the floor of the tongue base advancement procedure or through the neck during a hyoid suspension procedure.

## Technological Characteristics:

The AlRvance™ Bone Screw System like its predicate device, the Repose™ Bone Screw System (K981677), is based on suspending soft tissue to fixed bone by means of sutures attached to bone screw. In respect to the procedures, the AlRvance™ Bone Screw System procedures are based upon well accepted and commonly used procedures like Hyoid Bone Suspension, Chin Osteotomy and Genioglossal Advancement for the treatment of OSA and/or snoring. None of the Technological Characteristics are different from those of the Predicate.

# Indication for Use:

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

The AlRvance™ Bone Screw System is intended for anterior tonque base suspension by fixation of the soft tissue of the tonque base to the mandible bone using a bone screw with pre-threaded suture. It is indicated for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and/or snoring. The AlRvance™ Bone Screw System is also suitable for the performance of a hyoid suspension procedure which can be used in combination with other procedures for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It is indicated for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and/or snoring.

## Non Clinical Information:

No additional nonclinical tests were conducted in support of this submission. The current device is identical to the predicate.

#### Clinical Information:

The clinical information consists of a summary of clinical studies involving hyoid suspension published in the peer-review literature, to show that this treatment is often used successfully to reduce hypopharyngeal airway compromise in the effective treatment of OSA and may be used in combination with other surgical procedures (e.g. nasal, tongue palatal) that address additional sites of obstruction in the airway.

Multilevel upper airway surgery has evolved over the past 20 years and includes a variety of procedures to both enlarge the lumen and reduce the collapsibility of the upper airway . during sleep. Currently, there is no readily defined standard by which to decide which combinations of procedures work best for a given patient. Factors that go into surgical decision making include physiologic variables (e.g., BMI), anatomic factors (e.g., craniofacial structure, tongue and tonsil size), sleep apnea severity, findings on upper airway fiber-optic endoscopy, and patient preference and economic/ health insurance considerations.

Because the hyoid and its attendant musculature are integral to the base of the tonque and the supraglottic airway, various surgical techniques have been used to bring the hyoid forward in order to advance the hypopharyngeal tissues and therefore expand hypopharyngeal space, specifically at the inferior base of the tongue, vallecula, and epiglottis.

#### Clinical Conclusion:

The use of hyoid suspension is an effective method to treat hypopharyngeal-based obstructions and can be used in combination with other procedures to effectively treat OSA with or without tongue suspension.

#### Conclusion:

Because the new device is physically identical to the predicate device, justifying no new nonclinical testing, along with the evolution of upper airway surgery and the factors reqarding the method of treatment identified in the clinical information, we conclude that this new device is safe and effective for its intended use and performs as well or better than the predicate device.
