The description focuses on standard LED light curing technology with pre-set modes and manual/automatic operation, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No.
The device is used for polymerization of dental materials, which is a restorative process, not a therapeutic treatment of a disease or condition.
No.
The device description clearly states its purpose is for "polymerization of visible light cured materials" and "curing visible light cured (VLC) materials". This is a therapeutic or functional purpose, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a handpiece with LED and control electronics, a rechargeable battery, a transformer, and a base unit.
Based on the provided information, the BlueWand™ LED Dental Curing Wand System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the "polymerization of visible light cured materials containing camphorquinone." This describes a process performed on materials (dental composites, etc.) outside of the human body, not for diagnosing a condition or analyzing a sample taken from the human body.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components and function of a light-emitting device used for curing dental materials. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health
- Using reagents or assays
The BlueWand™ is a dental device used for a therapeutic or restorative procedure (curing dental materials), not for in vitro diagnosis.

Device Description
The BlueWand™ LED Dental Curing Light is a cordless battery-powered unit designed for curing visible light cured (VLC) materials whose initiators are sensitive to light in the 440-480 nm wavelength region of the visible spectrum. The light is based on LED (light emitting diodes) technology for light generation.
The BlueWand™ LED Dental Curing Light System includes:
- Surgical stainless steel handpiece with an LED and control electronics with . rechargeable battery
- Transformer to supply wall power to the base unit ●
- Base unit- charges battery and stores handpiece when not in use .
The BlueWand™ has 6 standard curing modes, consisting of 10, 20 and 30 second durations, and operational from two settings: Manual Setting and Automatic Setting. ("Touch less - ON" function). The Modes are10s, 20s, and 30s, a ramp, and two "30% reduced power" modes for 20s and 30s.

Dear Mr. Blosser:
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.
