Indications for Use

The Panthera Anti-Snoring X3 Device is intended to reduce or alleviate snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults.

Device Story

The Panthera Anti-Snoring X3 Device is a custom-fit, removable intraoral mandibular repositioning device. It consists of two splints (upper and lower) fabricated via CAD/CAM and selective laser sintering. The device functions by maintaining the mandible in a forward position during sleep, which increases pharyngeal space to improve airflow. It is a push-based system featuring an adjustable clip assembly on the maxillary splint; the dentist or physician adjusts the clip length to set the degree of mandibular advancement (up to 5 mm in 1 mm increments). The device is used by patients at home during sleep. By mechanically repositioning the jaw, the device helps alleviate snoring and mild to moderate OSA, potentially improving patient sleep quality.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical testing was performed. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical bench testing, including biocompatibility assessments (ISO 10993-1, -5, -10), fatigue testing of the stop-clip assembly, and 3D printing build location validation (ASTM D638, NISTIR 8059).

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Polyamide type 12 (biocompatible polymer). Fabrication: CAD/CAM and selective laser sintering. Design: Two-piece custom splint system with adjustable clip-based mandibular advancement mechanism. Dimensions: Up to 5 mm advancement, up to 6 mm vertical opening. Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Non-sterile.

Indications for Use

Indicated for adult patients with snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

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.”

Non-Clinical Testing: The non-clinical testing includes assessment of the physical properties of the Panthera Anti-Snoring X3 Device and its ability to achieve its intended use. The Panthera Anti-Snoring X3 Device meets criteria to support substantial equivalence to the primary and reference predicate devices. The Panthera Anti-Snoring X3 Device and the Panthera Anti-Snoring Device are substantially equivalent based on the fact that both devices use the same raw material, have the same indications for use, type and duration of patient contact as well as the same Selective Laser Sintering fabrication process including the proprietary manufacturing. Therefore, the performance testing provided in the primary predicate submission K143244 (Panthera Anti-Snoring Device) serves in lieu of performing the two (2) performance tests for the proposed device: orthosis polishing and static and dynamic compression resistance. A test was conducted to determine the build locations for 3-D printing in accordance with the FDA Guidance Document, Technical Considerations for Additive Manufactured Medical Devices and following the standards ASTM D638 and NISTIR 8059. Biocompatibility: A biocompatibility assessment of the device was performed. The purpose of this assessment was to ensure that biocompatibility had been established for the proposed device following the standards of ISO 14971, ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-10. The Panthera Anti-Snoring X3 Device is biocompatible, based on the use of the same materials of construction, the same supplier and the same proprietary manufacturing process as the primary predicate device, the Panthera Anti-Snoring Device, marketed by Panthera Dental Inc. Fatigue Testing: Considering that the mechanism of action for the protrusion of the lower iaw is different between the Panthera AS X3 and the mechanism of the Panthera AS, performance testing were conducted on the stop-clip system assembly. The results have demonstrated that the Panthera AS X3 has sufficient mechanical strength for its intended clinical application. Clinical Testing: Human clinical study was not deemed necessary to support substantial equivalence. The Panthera AS X3 does not use design dissimilar from the reference predicate devices, does not use new technologies different from the primary and reference predicate devices, and does not deviate from the indications for use identified in the primary and reference predicate devices. {13}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/13/Picture/0 description: The image shows a logo for Panthera Dental. The logo features a black panther in a crouching position above the words "PANTHERA DENTAL" in purple. The word "PANTHERA" is in a larger font than the word "DENTAL". The panther is facing left and has a long, curved tail. Substantial Equivalence Conclusion: The Panthera Anti-Snoring X3 Device is considered to be substantially equivalent to the primary predicate and any differences have been identified in other previously cleared reference devices and do not impact safety and effectiveness.
