The description focuses on basic electronic control of light intensity and duration based on user input and tip type, with no mention of adaptive learning, pattern recognition, or complex data processing characteristic of AI/ML.
No.
The device cures dental restorative materials and whitens teeth, which are not considered therapeutic actions.
No
The device is described as a "source of illumination for curing dental restorative materials and is a source of illumination for tooth whitening activities." Its function is polymerization of dental materials, not diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical hardware components including a base unit, hand piece, power supply, circuit boards, lamp, and fiber optic tip, indicating it is a hardware device with embedded software, not a software-only medical device.
Based on the provided information, the PlasmaCure BXe Curing Light is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for curing dental restorative materials and tooth whitening. These are procedures performed directly on a patient's teeth, not on samples taken from the body for diagnostic purposes.
- Device Description: The device description details a light source used for polymerization, which is a physical process applied to materials. It does not describe any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological fluids, tissues, or other samples. There is no mention of diagnostic markers, assays, or any other elements typically associated with IVD devices.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The PlasmaCure BXe Curing Light's function is to cure materials and whiten teeth, which are therapeutic and cosmetic procedures, not diagnostic ones.

Device Description
The PlasmaCure BXe is a device used for the polymerization of dental materials using blue light. It consists of a base unit and a cord connected hand piece. The molded plastic control unit (base unit) contains a power inlet receptacle for a detachable mains power cord, fuse holder and fuses, power supply & controller printed circuit board (control circuitry for lamp and cooling fan functions). The cord connected hand piece contains a printed circuit board, lamp reflector module assembly, optical filter assembly, fibertip insert and fiber optic tip that generates blue light energy having the wavelength range of approximately 385-495 nm. An external trigger switch (hand piece) activates the curing lamp. The emitted intensity and exposure time level depends on which type of eeleCoolTip™ is inserted in the hand piece and which key was last activated on the keypad of the base unit. The hand piece also has a removable and rotatable light shield that will protect the user when in operation.

Statement of Indications for Use
The PlasmaCure BXe Curing Light is a source of illumination for curing dental restorative materials and is a source of illumination for tooth whitening activities performed in dentistry.
Device Testing Results and Conclusion
Bench testing was performed, which included biocompatibility, sterilization, packaging, and functionality to confirm that the PlasmaCure BXe is equivalent to the predicate devices. All bench testing results met specified requirements.
Summary of Technological Characteristics to Predicate Devices
- The Optilux 501 utilizes a halogen light source that is located in the plastic O hand piece (handle) that also includes the optical filter assembly and fiber optic light guide. The light emanates from the light guide that is attached to the hand piece.
- The other comparable devices have their light source located in the control O unit (box) and the light travels through a light pipe (conduit) and then the light guide. These devices are listed to demonstrate the "Plasma Arc" technology using a Xenon Arc Lamp.
- 0 The PlasmaCure BXe has the light source (similar to Optilux 501) in the plastic hand piece (handle) as well as the optical filter assembly and fiber optic guide. Instead of having the light source in the control unit (box) as above, it is located in the hand piece.
Safety and Effectiveness Information Supporting the Substantial Equivalence
The PlasmaCure BXe complies with the following standards, practices, and guidance's:
-
Effectiveness: Independent Testing Facility test results for equivalence (nonclinical performance data).
The PlasmaCure BXe performed similar to other plasma arc lights, & polymerized faster than the halogen, laser, & LED lights evaluated at that time. -

Dear Mr. Devine:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
