Intended Use

The LED Turbo is a dental curing light that is designed for use in the polymerization of dental resins and the activation of bleaching materials.

Device Description

The LED Turbo consists of a handy unit and a battery charger. The handy unit contains a programmed control circuit, high intensity dental blue LED light source, a light guide and a optical fiber that conduct light to the treatment area on the patient. The control circuit which governs the output power rate, timing and monitoring the temperature of the LED.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the 510(k) premarket notification for the "LED Turbo" dental curing light. This submission is for a medical device that cures dental resins and activates bleaching materials, not an AI/ML device, and therefore does not include the typical acceptance criteria and study designs associated with AI/ML device evaluations.

However, based on the information provided, I can construct a table comparing the device's performance against its predicate device, which serves as a form of "acceptance criteria" in the context of a 510(k) submission for substantial equivalence.

Here's an analysis based on the provided text, focusing on how a comparison-based "acceptance" is demonstrated:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

For a 510(k) submission, the "acceptance criteria" for a new device are primarily its substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. This is demonstrated by comparing key technical specifications and functional performance. The table below presents the comparison found in the document.

FeaturePredicate Device (Ultra-Lite 200E Plus)Proposed Device (LED Turbo)"Acceptance Criteria" (Substantial Equivalence)
1. Light IntensityMin. 800mW/cm²1100mW/cm² (Min. 800mW/cm²)Meets or exceeds predicate
2. Output Wavelength440nm~490nm440nm~490nmIdentical to predicate
3. LED Power Consumption1 Watt5 WattDifferent, but within functional parameters*
4. Battery Use9.6V/300mAh7.2V/1900mAhDifferent, but within functional parameters*
5. Operating VoltageAC110V, AC120V, AC230, 50/60HzAC100V~260V 50/60HzCompatible with broader range than predicate
6. Weight380 g(Not explicitly stated for LED Turbo)Not directly comparable from text
7. Curing Time20 seconds5, 10, 20, 40 seconds selectableOffers more options, includes predicate's time
Intended UseDental curing light for polymerization of dental resins and activation of bleaching materialsDental curing light for polymerization of dental resins and activation of bleaching materialsIdentical
Operational PrinciplesIdenticalIdenticalIdentical

*Interpretation: The differences in LED power consumption and battery use are presented as technical differences that still achieve equivalent or improved performance (e.g., higher intensity, shorter curing times) while maintaining safety through "Performance testing ... that confirms that the halogen light technology used for LED Turbo is able to cure resin and activate tooth bleaching agents within the specified timeframe without causing thermal damage to the tissue." This "performance testing" is the closest equivalent to a direct study proving criteria.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance

The document does not describe a traditional "test set" in the context of an AI/ML device where a dataset is analyzed by the algorithm. Instead, it refers to "Performance testing."

  • Sample Size: Not specified. The document states "Performance testing has been conducted," but the number of resins, bleaching materials, or in-vitro/in-vivo tests is not provided.
  • Data Provenance: Not specified. The text doesn't explicitly state the country of origin of the test data or whether it was retrospective or prospective.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts

This information is not applicable to this 510(k) submission. Dental curing lights are physical devices that cure materials; they do not involve human expert interpretation for establishing ground truth in the way AI/ML devices for image analysis do. The "truth" is based on physical material properties and established dental clinical efficacy.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. There is no mention of an adjudication method as would be used for expert review of data for AI/ML validation.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device and therefore no MRMC study involving human readers with or without AI assistance would have been conducted or reported.

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device (dental curing light), not an algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for a dental curing light relates to its ability to effectively cure dental resins and activate bleaching agents without causing harm. The document states that "Performance testing has been conducted that confirms that the halogen light technology used for LED Turbo is able to cure resin and activate tooth bleaching agents within the specified timeframe without causing thermal damage to the tissue."

Therefore, the type of "ground truth" would likely be physical measurements and material science validation (e.g., degree of conversion of resin, color change in bleaching agents, temperature measurements to detect thermal damage).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device; there is no "training set."

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

8.14 Comparison with equivalence marketed device:

Both the LED Turbo and the predicate curing lights offer multiple curing programs for photopolymerization of dental resins and activation of bleaching materials. These programs differ in the intensity of the light delivered and the length of the light exposure. The operational principles of the proposed and predicate devices are identical. The operator chooses the appropriate program and sets the treatment parameters, if necessary. The tip of handpiece if oriented appropriately relative to the material being photopolymerized, or the tooth surface (for bleaching procedures), and the selected treatment is initiated.

The major difference between the proposed LED Turbo Gun and the predicate curing lights is the intensity of the light power delivered. The increased light intensity of the proposed LED Turbo allows the resin curing and tooth whitening agent activation to be conducted in a much shorter timeframe. Performance testing has been conducted that confirms that the halogen light technology used for LED Turbo is able to cure resin and activate tooth bleaching agents within the specified timeframe without causing thermal damage to the tissue.

The Similarities in intended use, technical specifications, and functional performance between the LED Turbo and Ultra-Lite 200e Plus leads to a conclusion of substantial equivalence between the proposed and predicate devices.
