The ACTA OEM Module is a sub-assembly of the ACTA Polymerization Light Curing Device which received 510(k) clearance for the polymerization of light-cured dental materials, the polymerization of restorative composite materials, and the polymerization of bonding and sealing materials (K961735) on July 31, 1996. The ACTA OEM Module maintains all the same functions and main components of the ACTA: it is a stand-alone sub-assembly manufactured by SATELEC with all the same components and materials used in the manufacture of the original ACTA product, which can be used in standard dental units. The intended use, technical performance, and clinical indications are identical to those of its predicate device, the ACTA (K961735). The ACTA OEM Module is a multi-purpose high intensity curing light generator kit to be marketed as a modular sub-assembly ("Original Equipment Manufacturer" - OEM) The ACTA OEM Module, similar to its predicate to manufacturers of dental units. device ACTA (K961735) operates by producing a visible blue light in the 400 to 520 nm waveband of the spectrum which enables the polymerization of composite materials. The ACTA OEM Module light will cure all dental restoratives activated by light in that wavelength range. The radiation from the halogen bulb (44 watt) is selectively reflected, focused, and filtered to reduce the ultraviolet, infrared radiation and unneeded visible light. Thus, only the radiation in the appropriate band is available to be absorbed by the light cured composite material. The radiation necessary for this process is in the wavelength range of 400 to 520 nanometers. A built-in filter system blocks the nonessential emitted radiation outside this blue radiation wavelength range. An ergonomic handpiece is supplied with ACTA OEM Module Kit and is designed for ease of use, comfort and convenience. The handpiece casing is made of thermoplastic allov. The handpiece houses the low voltage halogen lamp, and a lamp cooling fan. The kit also includes a disconnectable silicone cord, and a box which consists of one (1) deflector of a 0.3 in, one (1) optic fiber of ø 0.3 in , four (4) protection caps. one (1) 44 W bulb, and one (1) instruction booklet. The Kit includes a connection diagram and PC board as well.
