The device description focuses on the hardware (LEDs, battery, controls) and its function (light polymerization). There is no mention of AI/ML in the description, intended use, or performance studies. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".
No
The device is used for polymerization of dental materials, which is a chemical process, not a direct therapeutic treatment of the human body or specific disease.
No
The device is described as a polymerization light source used for curing dental materials. Its function is to deliver light energy to polymerizable dental materials, not to diagnose medical conditions or analyze bodily functions.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical hardware components including LEDs, a plastic and aluminum housing, a button, and an internal rechargeable battery. It is a physical light source device, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the light-activated polymerization of dental materials applied to human teeth. This is a direct treatment or procedure performed on the patient, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient.
- Device Description: The device is a light source used to cure materials in the mouth. It does not analyze biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), diagnostic purposes, or the use of reagents.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is to physically alter dental materials in situ on the tooth.
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 Ascent 3D is a polymerization light source device for delivering light energy to polymerizable dental materials applied to human teeth in conjunction with a variety of procedures and treatments. This energy is generated by solid-state light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which provide a consistent and reliable generation of light energy at 390-520nm with an average optical output of 1600 milliwatts. The LEDs are positioned at the terminal end of the device, allowing for direct illumination of the treatment site without the use of light pipes or other optically conductive appendages. The device features three LEDs that are spatially positioned to illuminate three surfaces or planes of the tooth simultaneously. The device controls allow the operator to select which combination of LEDs are active and the emission time. Emission is initiated by pressing a button, and can be interrupted by pressing the same button or by allowing the selected emission time to expire. The device is constructed of a biocompatible plastic such as ABS, and coated aluminum. The device is powered from an internal rechargeable battery that is charged from an external power supply when not in use.

Dear Mr. Larsen:
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.
