Snoring Device FDA 510k Standard Testing

Snoring devices are classified as Class II medical devices in the United States, and export to the U.S. requires FDA approval. JJR Lab in China is GLP-certified and provides relevant testing services, such as ISO 10993 projects. We welcome inquiries. For example, our standard fee for the three basic biocompatibility tests is just $4,000.

Snoring Device 510(k) Application Testing Items and Standards Summary

Biocompatibility Testing

- Overall Biological Evaluation

Standard: ISO 10993-1

Purpose: Assess the overall biological safety of materials

Test Method: Use risk management to determine the scope of tests required and perform necessary tests.

- Cytotoxicity

Standard: ISO 10993-5

Purpose: Determine if the material is toxic to cells

Test Method: Cell culture exposure and cell survival rate testing.

- Skin Irritation

Standard: iso 10993-10

Purpose: Determine if the material causes local irritation

Test Method: Patch test on animal skin, assessing erythema and edema (redness and swelling).

- Delayed Hypersensitivity Reaction

Standard: ISO 10993-10

Purpose: Check if the material induces allergic reactions

Test Method: Guinea pig maximization test or local lymph node assay.

- Chemical Composition Analysis (Recommended)

Standard: ISO 10993-18

Purpose: Analyze chemicals that may leach from materials

Test Method: Extract liquid analysis (GC-MS/LC-MS), identify potential harmful substances.

Physical & Mechanical Properties Testing

- Flexural Strength & Modulus

Standard: ASTM D790-17

Purpose: Verify the structural strength and rigidity of the product

Test Method: Three-point bending test to measure maximum stress and modulus.

- Tensile Strength

Standard: ASTM D638-22

Purpose: Test material’s tensile properties

Test Method: Stretch the material to failure, recording stress and elongation.

- Water Absorption

Standard: ASTM D570-22

Purpose: Verify if the material deforms in a humid environment

Test Method: Weigh the material before and after immersion, assess changes in weight.

- Melting Temperature

Standard: ASTM D3418-21

Purpose: Determine the safe processing temperature range

Test Method: Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) to measure the melting point.

- Density Testing

Standard: ASTM D792-20

Purpose: Ensure material consistency

Test Method: Use specific gravity bottle or buoyancy method to determine density.

Functional Validation

- Mandibular Adjustment Structure Verification

Standard: Company Standard

Purpose: Verify maximum adjustment range and locking performance

Test Method: Perform multiple adjustment cycles and record the range of movement (e.g., max 4mm).

- Reusability Durability Testing

Standard: Company Standard

Purpose: Verify if function remains stable after cleaning/wearing

Test Method: Simulate multiple use cycles, test for wear and structural integrity.

- Thermoforming Fit Verification

Standard: Company Standard

Purpose: Verify fit after user thermoforming

Test Method: Perform thermoforming on a dental model, observe deformation and adaptability.

Cleaning & Non-Sterilized Testing

- Non-Sterilized Status Labeling

Standard: 21 CFR 801

Purpose: Clearly indicate non-sterile to avoid misleading users

Test Method: Label the product with "Non-Sterile" and include cleaning instructions.

- Home Cleaning Safety Verification

Standard: Company Standard

Purpose: Verify if hot water/soap solutions damage the product

Test Method: Use simulated cleaning solutions and observe product deformation or performance changes.

- Microbial Residue Control (Optional)

Standard: USP <61>/<62> (if applicable)

Purpose: Ensure microbial load is acceptable

Test Method: Based on risk management exemption, test colony count if necessary.

Label Compliance

- OTC Label Compliance Verification

Standard: 21 CFR 801 Subpart C

Purpose: OTC products must include warnings, uses, and cleaning instructions

Test Method: Review label and instruction content to ensure it complies with regulatory requirements.

- Use Declaration Consistency

Standard: Consistent with 510(k) file

Purpose: Prevent marketing for treatment of sleep apnea

Test Method: Ensure that the label and instructions state "reduce snoring" and do not expand indications.

Special Controls

- Guideline Requirements Compliance

Standard: Class II Special Controls Guidance

Purpose: Meet special control requirements for Class II products

Test Method: Verify compliance with each guideline item (e.g., adjustment structure, material risks, instructions, etc.).

Regulatory System

- QSR Quality System Compliance

Standard: 21 CFR 820

Purpose: Comply with FDA design control and manufacturing quality regulations

Test Method: Includes design validation, change control, CAPA, non-conformance handling processes.
