Intended Use

With its "Polywave" broadband spectrum, Bluephase Style 20i is suitable for the polymerization of all light curing dental materials curing in the wavelength range of 385-515 nm. These materials include restoratives, bases, liners, fissure sealants, temporaries, as well as luting materials for brackets and indirect restorations, such as ceramic inlays.

Device Story

Bluephase Style 20i is a pen-shaped, LED-based dental polymerization light. It emits energy-rich blue light via a Polywave LED to cure dental materials (restoratives, adhesives, sealants, etc.) at the dental unit. Operated by dental professionals, the device features two user-selectable programs: Turbo (2,000 mW/cm²) and High Power (1,200 mW/cm²). The operator selects the program and time; the device automatically terminates the curing cycle once the time elapses. The device is powered by a Li-Po battery. By providing controlled light energy, it ensures proper polymerization of dental materials, facilitating restorative procedures and indirect restorations.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing included electrical safety (IEC 60601-1:2005, IEC 60601-1-2:2007), electromagnetic compatibility, and heat sink temperature switch-off verification. Biocompatibility was evaluated via comparison to the predicate. Sterilization validation was performed according to DIN EN 556-1 and ISO 17665-2:2009.

Technological Characteristics

LED polymerization light; Polywave LED source; wavelength 385-515 nm; Li-Po battery powered; pen-style form factor; two programs (Turbo: 2,000 mW/cm², High Power: 1,200 mW/cm²); tested to IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2; non-sterile, autoclavable light probe.

Indications for Use

Indicated for polymerization of light-curing dental materials (restoratives, adhesives, bases, liners, sealants, temporaries, luting materials) in the 385-515 nm wavelength range.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An ultraviolet activator for polymerization is a device that produces ultraviolet radiation intended to polymerize (set) resinous dental pit and fissure sealants or restorative materials by transmission of light through a rod.

FDA Guidance Document "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submission for Software Contained in Medical Devices (May 11, 2005) has been followed in connection with the design of this device. #### Biocompatibility: The Bluephase Style 20i has been evaluated for biocompatibility and compared to the predicate device. No new issues of biocompatibility are related to the subject device as the construction materials are substantially the same. ### Infection Control: The device is sold in a non-sterile condition. Prior to use and after use sterilization of the light probe is recommended. The sterilization cycle recommended in the Instructions for Use have been validated according to DIN EN 556-1: Sterilization of a Medical Device and ISO 17665-2:2009. The curing light also is sold with plastic sleeves for infection control. ### Conclusion: Bluephase® Style 20i is a LED polymerization light that is used for the polymerization of lightcuring dental materials. This is achieved using the same operating principle and performance as the one used in Bluephase® 20i. Furthermore, Bluephase® Style 20i comes in a new wand shape design. The working steps and indications for use are the same as with Bluephase® 20i. Therefore, Bluephase® Style 20i is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Bluephase® 20i.
