Activator for light-induced intraoral polymerization of resinous dental pit and fissure sealants, restorative materials, bondings, or luting materials
Device Description
ELIPAR® TRILIGHT is classified as an Ultraviolet Activator for Polymerization (21 C.F.R. § 872.6070) because it is a device intended to polymerize (set) resinous dental pit and fissure sealants or restorative materials by transmission of light through a rod. (Light-Curing Unit). ELIPAR® TRILIGHT has the same intended use and is substantially equivalent to ESPE's already 510(k) cleared light-curing unit ELIPAR® (VISIO®). Actually, the ELIPAR® TRILIGHT light source is a further development of the ELIPAR® (VISIO®) light source to provide the patient and user with more comfortable handling and more favorable properties. The Euror® (Visio®) light source is well established and determined to be safe and effective.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the device's function as a light-curing unit and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as an "Activator for light-induced intraoral polymerization" of dental materials, which is a functional tool for a dental procedure rather than a device intended to treat or cure a disease or condition.

No.
The device is described as an "Ultraviolet Activator for Polymerization" intended to "polymerize (set) resinous dental pit and fissure sealants or restorative materials." This function is therapeutic/treatment-oriented, not diagnostic, as it does not gather or process data to identify a medical condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Light-Curing Unit" and describes the transmission of light through a rod, indicating a physical hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to polymerize dental materials intraorally using light. 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 classified as an "Ultraviolet Activator for Polymerization" and is a "Light-Curing Unit." This description aligns with a device used for a dental procedure, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific substances, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease or condition. This device's function is to cure dental materials within the mouth, which is a therapeutic/restorative action, not a diagnostic one.
