More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard dental curing light and makes no mention of AI or ML.

No
A therapeutic device is one that treats a disease or condition. This device is used for curing dental resin products, which is a restorative function, not a therapeutic one in the medical sense.

No
The device description states its purpose is for "curing of dental VLC resin products" and to "photoactivate dental resin products," which is a treatment function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "visible light emitting photopolymerization unit," indicating it is a hardware device that emits light, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide visible light irradiation for curing dental resin products. This is a physical process applied to a material, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a light-emitting unit for photoactivating dental resin. Again, this relates to material processing, not biological analysis.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.

The device is a dental curing light, which is a common type of medical device used in dentistry for hardening resin-based materials.

TRADE OR PROPRIETARY NAME: SPECTRUM™ 800 CURING UNIT

CLASSIFICATION NAME: Unclassified

Visible light activator for polymerization COMMON OR USUAL NAME:

Spectrum™ Curing Light K951425 PREDICATE DEVICES:

DEVICE DESCRIPTION: The SPECTRUM™ 800 CURING UNIT is a visible light emitting photopolymerization unit that produces light used to photoactivate dental resin products.

INTENDED USE: The SPECTRUM™ 800 CURING UNIT provides visible light irradiation for the curing of dental VLC resin products.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS: The SPECTRUM™ 800 CURING UNIT is identical to the Spectrum™ Curing Light (K951425) except for cosmetic changes to the appearance and operating features and an increased wattage light bulb. The same filter used for the Spectrum™ Curing Light is used for the SPECTRUM™ 800 CURING UNIT and controls the wavelength of light that is emitted by the unit. Both curing units feature a radiometer built into the base. However, the SPECTRUM™ 800 CURING UNIT radiometer is a digital type, whereas the Spectrum™ Curing Light radiometer is a red light/green light type.

An additional difference in the SPECTRUM™ 800 CURING UNIT from the Spectrum™ Curing Light is the intensity adjustment feature of the light. The operator can dial the intensity of the light. This feature will ensure the operator quality repeat output performance every time the light is used. This feature also allows the operator the ability to match the restoration type with the intensity required.

We believe that the similarity of the SPECTRUM™ 800 CURING UNIT to the predicate device and the performance and safety data provided support the safety and effectiveness of the SPECTRUM™ 800 CURING UNIT for the indicated use.
