  • The FDA has granted 510(k) clearance to Vivos Therapeutics Inc's VVOS mmRNA (modified mandibular Repositioning Nighttime Appliance) obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) device.
  • The device is indicated for mild to moderate OSA, sleep-disordered breathing, and snoring in adults.
  • The approval paves the way for expanded insurance reimbursement coverage for the mmRNA device and potential future government contracts and reimbursement.
  • Separately, the FDA has denied Vivos' previously submitted, additional 510(k) application for its DNA appliance. 
  • The DNA appliance is already registered with the FDA as a Class I device for palatal expansion and is currently being used by Vivos-trained clinicians accordingly. 
  • Vivos expects to appeal the FDA's decision or resubmit the 510(k) application to the FDA in the coming weeks.
