The summary describes a light-emitting device for teeth whitening with a simple timer function. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making.
No.
A therapeutic device is intended to treat or prevent a disease or condition. This device is for aesthetic tooth whitening, which is not considered a medical therapy.
No
Explanation: The device is intended to emit light for the bleaching of teeth, which is a treatment function, not a diagnostic one. It activates a whitening gel to bleach teeth.
No
The device description explicitly states it utilizes Light Emitting Diodes in a mouthpiece, which is a hardware component.
Based on the provided information, the BriteWhite Teeth Whitening System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- BriteWhite System Function: The BriteWhite Teeth Whitening System is a device that uses light to activate a whitening gel applied to the teeth. It acts directly on the teeth (an anatomical site) and does not involve testing samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "emit light... to provide a light source for the bleaching of teeth," which is a cosmetic or aesthetic procedure, not a diagnostic test.
Therefore, the BriteWhite Teeth Whitening System falls under the category of a medical device, but not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The BriteWhite Teeth Whitening System device that utilizes Light Emitting Diodes to provide a tooth whitening system, the whitening light source is a mouth piece which is placed inside the mouth, using barrier sleeves, which emits a biologically safe and effective level of blue visible light. The general wavelength for the mouth piece is 400 nanometer spectrums to provide a selected wavelength which activates the whitening gel to bleach the teeth without the aide of heat. To ensure user safety when operating the light, the system has a built in feature to eliminate any risk for the end user and professional. The light automatically shuts off after a specified period of time. Secondly, the light source in placed inside the mouth, so there is no need for safety glasses for the patient and professional. No contact with the eyes is in this area of treatment and prevents penetrations of blue wavelength and protects the vision of the patient and professional.

Dear Ms. Creasy:
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.
