Intended Use
Source of illumination for curing photo-activated dental restorative materials and adhesives.
Device Description
Valo® Cordless is a visible light activator for polymerization of dental resins. In other words, it is a dental curing light used for polymerization of all photo-initiated dental materials. The VALO Cordless is shipped as a system with the VALO Cordless wand, 4 rechargeable batteries, 2 for initial use and 2 for later use, a battery charger and 50 VALO Cordless Barrier Sleeves. An Instruction for Use is also included inside the packaging. The Instructions for Use details the function of the device and describes the modes for the VALO Cordless. VALO Cordless has three operating modes. They are Standard Power Mode: 1000mW/cm², High Power Mode: 1400mW/cm² and Xtra Power Mode: 3200mW/cm².

No
The description focuses on the device's function as a light source with different power modes and does not mention any AI/ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No.
The device cures dental restorative materials and adhesives, which is a functional process rather than a direct therapeutic intervention on a patient.

No

This device is a dental curing light used to polymerize dental resins and materials, which is a treatment function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a wand, batteries, and a battery charger, indicating it is a physical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Source of illumination for curing photo-activated dental restorative materials and adhesives." This describes a device used directly on a patient's teeth to cure materials, not a device used to test samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a "dental curing light used for polymerization of all photo-initiated dental materials." This further reinforces its use in a clinical dental setting for treating patients.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is purely therapeutic/restorative in a dental context.

Device Description

Valo® Cordless is a visible light activator for polymerization of dental resins. In other words, it is a dental curing light used for polymerization of all photo-initiated dental materials. The VALO Cordless is shipped as a system with the VALO Cordless wand, 4 rechargeable batteries, 2 for initial use and 2 for later use, a battery charger and 50 VALO Cordless Barrier Sleeves. An Instruction for Use is also included inside the packaging. The Instructions for Use details the function of the device and describes the modes for the VALO Cordless. VALO Cordless has three operating modes. They are Standard Power Mode: 1000mW/cm², High Power Mode: 1400mW/cm² and Xtra Power Mode: 3200mW/cm².

The VALO CORDLESS curing light uses a custom, multi-wavelength Light Emitting Diode (LED) for producing the high intensity light (395 - 480 nm) capable of polymerizing all light cure dental materials. This intensity will also penetrate porcelain and is capable of curing underlying resin cements similarly to a quality halogen light.

The VALO CORDLESS curing light uses safe Ultradent VALO rechargeable batteries and battery charger.
