Investornewsbreaks Vivos Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: VVOS) Awarded First-Ever FDA Clearance For Pediatric Treatment Of Sleep Apnea, Snoring

(MENAFN- Investor Brand Network) Vivos Therapeutics (NASDAQ: VVOS) , a leading medical-device and technology company specializing in the development and commercialization of highly effective proprietary treatments for sleep-related breathing disorders (“SRBDs”) including obstructive sleep apnea (“OSA”) has received breakthrough clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). According to the announcement, the company has received approval to use its Vivos proprietary oral medical device to treat moderate to severe OSA and snoring in children; the company believes this is the first time the FDA has given 510(k) clearance for this type of treatment for children aged 6 to 17 years of age.

Current standard treatment for OSA in children is the surgical removal of adenoids and tonsils; however, following surgery, OSA can persist in 21% to 73% of children, with research showing
mixed long-term benefits.
In addition, children don't often use continuous
positive airway pressure (“CPAP”) devices because of potential negative effects on cranial and facial growth. The FDA approval was given following reported positive results from a multisite, multination, controlled, prospective study showing pediatric patients aged 6-17 years old benefitting from using Vivos' flagship DNA oral medical device.

“The FDA 510(k) clearance announced today is, to our knowledge, the first time any oral medical device has ever been approved to treat moderate to severe OSA in children,” said Vivos chair and CEO Kirk Huntsman in the press release.“This clearance is the latest in a series of regulatory wins for Vivos, not just in the United States but globally. It represents the culmination of a growing body of research and regulatory approvals confirming and validating the extraordinary potential and efficacy of our proprietary Vivos technology. In addition, this landmark clearance opens up an exciting and vast new market and enables us to directly address the needs of millions of children who currently suffer from sleep-related breathing disorders such as OSA.”
