Intended Use

With its "Polywave" LED with broadband spectrum, Bluephase PowerCure is suitable for the polymerization of all lightcuring dental materials curing in the wavelength range of 385-515 nm. These materials include restoratives, bonding agents/adhesives, bases, liners, fissure sealants, temporaries, as well as luting materials for brackets and indirect restorations, such as ceramic inlays.

Device Story

Bluephase PowerCure is a pen-shaped, battery-powered LED curing light used by dentists or dental assistants in clinical settings. It utilizes a 'Polywave' LED to emit broadband blue light (385-515 nm) to polymerize dental materials. The device features four operational modes (3s Cure, Turbo, High Power, PreCure) with irradiance up to 3,050 mW/cm². The operator selects the program and time; the device automatically terminates the cycle upon completion. It is intended for use in dental practices or hospitals to harden restorative materials, adhesives, and luting agents directly in the oral cavity. The device benefits patients by enabling rapid polymerization of dental materials, potentially reducing chair time.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only. Device performance validated through electrical safety testing (IEC 60601-1:2012, IEC 60601-1-2:2007) and sterilization validation per ISO 14937.

Technological Characteristics

Handheld pen-style LED curing light; Polywave LED source; Li-ion battery power; 4 curing modes; irradiance up to 3,050 mW/cm²; wavelength 385-515 nm. Tested to IEC 60601-1:2012 and IEC 60601-1-2:2007. Non-sterile; light probe requires sterilization per ISO 14937.

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 for dental patients.

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.

The number 3 is in the upper right corner of the image. ### 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 ISO 14937 Sterilization of health care products- General requirements for characterization of a sterilization agent and the development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices. ### Biocompatibility: Direct contact with tissue is not intended. Therefore ISO 10993-1 is not applicable. A Toxicological statement of the LED Unit Bluephase PowerCure has been included in this submission. ### Software Validation: Bluephase PowerCure software/firmware has been fully validated and the device software meets its Design Specifications. FDA Guidance Document Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices has been followed in connection with the design of the device. ### Summary of Safety Testing: The product has been tested to IEC 60601-1:2012 and IEC 60601-1-2:2007 and meets the requirements for Electrical Safety, including US National Deviations, and Electromagnetic Compatibility. The test reports are included in this submission. ### Conclusion: Bluephase PowerCure is an LED polymerization light, which is used for the polymerization of light-curing dental materials. This is achieved by using the same operating principle and performance criteria as for Bluephase Style 20i. Therefore, Bluephase PowerCure is substantially equivalent to its predicate device, Bluephase Style 20i.
