Intended Use
VALO X curing light is a source of illumination for curing photo-activated dental restorative materials and adhesives. It is also intended to provide illumination to aid in visualization during oral procedures. VALO X curing light accessory/diffusor lenses are not intended for complete cure of photo-activated materials and adhesives.
Device Story
VALO X is a dental curing light providing broadband illumination (380-515 nm) for polymerizing photo-activated materials and adhesives; also functions as a diagnostic aid for visualization. Operates via LED light source; powered by rechargeable Li-ion batteries or AC cord adapter. Features include two curing modes and two diagnostic modes (white light, black light). Operated by dentists/dental professionals in clinical settings. Includes accessory lenses (PointCure, ProxiCure, Diffuser, Interproximal, Translume) to augment light delivery for specific tasks like shaping matrices or transillumination. User interface includes buttons, audible cues, and an accelerometer for mode switching via motion. Output affects clinical decision-making by ensuring proper material polymerization and enhancing visual inspection of dental structures/resins. Benefits include improved procedural efficiency and diagnostic clarity.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance verified against ISO 10650:2018, IEC 80601-2-60:2019, ISO 10993-1:2018, IEC 60601-1:2012, IEC 60601-1-2:2014, and IEC 62471:2006. Testing included radiant exitance, illuminance, color temperature, beam profile, duty cycle, EMC, photobiological safety, and disinfection validation.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Anodized aluminum (wand), Acetal (lens housing), Neodymium (magnets), Polymethylpentene TPX RT18 (lenses). Light source: LED (blue, violet, white). Power: 3.7V Li-ion battery or AC adapter. Connectivity: Standalone. Sterilization: Disinfection (70% IPA, Cidex OPA). Standards: ISO 10650, IEC 80601-2-60, ISO 10993, IEC 60601-1, IEC 62471.

Dear Dave Yungvirt:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

{6}------------------------------------------------
{7}------------------------------------------------
{8}------------------------------------------------
{9}------------------------------------------------
{10}------------------------------------------------
{11}------------------------------------------------
As outlined in the comparison tables above, VALO™ X and VALO™ X Accessory Lenses are similar to the identified predicate device with respect to intended user, materials, light intensity, depth of cure, utilized consensus standards, peak wavelength and biocompatibility.
Primary differences between the subject device and predicate device are the option of using VALO X by means of batteries (cordless version) or AC power supply (corded version), the different operating modes (two curing modes and two diagnostic modes), the use of a bluelight blocking shield in place of blue-light blocking glasses, updated user interface with fewer buttons and the addition of an accelerometer function, the addition of a fourth whitewavelength LED, and the reliance on a validated disinfectant process rather than a list of acceptable cleaners.
# VII. Performance Data
Device design validation and verification activities have been performed to FDA Guidance Document "Dental Curing Lights - Premarket Notification [510(k)]" and recognized standards and via internal testing protocols. Software verification and validation of the device were conducted in accordance with the FDA Guidance "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices".
Non-clinical tests performed to establish substantial equivalence to the identified predicate device included radiant exitance, illuminance and color temperature, beam profile, duty cycle, EMC, electromagnetic disturbance, photobiological safety and disinfection validation testing. See the table below for standards used during non-clinical testing.
