Indications for Use
The Healthy Sleep Appliance is intended for use in patients 18 years of age or older for the reduction of snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
Device Story
The Healthy Sleep Appliance is a mandibular repositioning oral appliance used to treat snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. It consists of upper and lower full-arch trays that fit the occlusal surface of the teeth, connected by adjustable stainless steel arms. The device is prescribed by a dentist and worn by the patient while sleeping. The arms are adjusted to exert a forward force on the lower jaw, advancing the mandible relative to the maxilla. This advancement increases the patient's pharyngeal space, facilitating improved air exchange. The device is removable by the patient.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical evidence includes a literature review and a prospective 7-patient clinical study comparing the subject device to the predicate. The study evaluated pre- and post-treatment Apnea/Hypopnea Index (AHI). Results showed AHI reduction in all 7 subjects (e.g., one subject reduced from 101.1 to 2.1, another from 46.3 to 5.2). The device was reported as well-tolerated and effective for patients with mild to moderate OSA who did not tolerate CPAP.
Technological Characteristics
Mandibular repositioning oral appliance; two full-arch trays connected by adjustable stainless steel arms. Materials are standard dental-grade materials tested for biocompatibility per ISO 10993. Maximum mandibular advancement is 7 mm. The device is a single-patient, multi-use, prescription-only, removable intraoral device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients 18 years of age or older for the reduction of snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
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.”
