There is no mention of any software or algorithms that would suggest AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is also explicitly marked as "Not Found".
No
The device is used to harden dental materials through polymerization, not to treat a disease, injury, or alleviate a condition.
No
The device is described as a dental curing light source used for polymerizing dental materials, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical hardware device (dental curing light source) with LEDs, a battery, charging cradle, and buttons. It is not solely software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- Device Function: The Palmlight 10 is a dental curing light. Its function is to polymerize (harden) dental materials in the oral cavity using light. It does not analyze or examine specimens taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "For light activated polymerization of dental materials... using visible and near-UV light." This is a therapeutic/procedural function, not a diagnostic one.
The device description and intended use clearly indicate it's a tool used during a dental procedure on a patient, not a device used to test samples outside the body for diagnostic purposes.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
For light activated polymerization of dental materials such as composites, luting cements, adhesives, and sealants using visible and near-UV light.

Device Description
The Palmlight 10 is a dental curing light source that employs high power light emitting diodes (LED's) to generate light in the wavelengths between 390 and 500nm. This wavelength of light is readily absorbed by photoinitiators in a variety of dental compositions. Such initiators begin a polymerization reaction that causes these dental compositions to harden. The device features an internal rechargeable battery, allowing the device to be used in a cordless fashion. The device can be placed in a charging cradle when not in use, or can be attached to a power supply such that the device can be used or charged while attached to the power supply. The device features the ability to select from preset time increments for activating the device. The user can also select from 4 different output modes. The device features and on/off button to activate and deactivate the LED's. The device features a power down program such that the unit's display is deactivated if the unit is dormant for an extended period of time. The charging cradle features a power output display to assist the end user in determining the performance of the device.
