The device utilizes a light bulb to emit visible light, which is filtered to a specific wavelength range to initiate polymerization. Operators (dentists or dental staff) use the device to harden dental restorations. Key features include an adjustable light intensity dial, allowing the operator to match intensity to specific restoration requirements, and a built-in digital radiometer to monitor output performance. The device provides consistent light irradiation, ensuring quality curing of dental resins, which benefits the patient by facilitating the hardening of restorative materials. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Visible light photopolymerization unit. Features a light bulb, optical filter for wavelength control, and a built-in digital radiometer. Includes an intensity adjustment dial for output control. Operates via visible light irradiation. ## Regulatory Identification Tooth shade resin material is a device composed of materials such as bisphenol-A glycidyl methacrylate (Bis-GMA) intended to restore carious lesions or structural defects in teeth. ## Predicate Devices - Spectrum™ Curing Light ([K951425](/device/K951425.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Box 872 York, PA 17405-0872 (717) 845-7511 777 8542343 P. J. Lehn Telefax (717) 849-4343 CONTACT: P. Jeffery Lehn June 29, 1998 DATE PREPARED: TRADE OR PROPRIETARY NAME: SPECTRUM™ 800 CURING UNIT CLASSIFICATION NAME: Unclassified Visible light activator for polymerization COMMON OR USUAL NAME: Spectrum™ Curing Light K951425 PREDICATE DEVICES: DEVICE DESCRIPTION: The SPECTRUM™ 800 CURING UNIT is a visible light emitting photopolymerization unit that produces light used to photoactivate dental resin products. INTENDED USE: The SPECTRUM™ 800 CURING UNIT provides visible light irradiation for the curing of dental VLC resin products. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS: The SPECTRUM™ 800 CURING UNIT is identical to the Spectrum™ Curing Light (K951425) except for cosmetic changes to the appearance and operating features and an increased wattage light bulb. The same filter used for the Spectrum™ Curing Light is used for the SPECTRUM™ 800 CURING UNIT and controls the wavelength of light that is emitted by the unit. Both curing units feature a radiometer built into the base. However, the SPECTRUM™ 800 CURING UNIT radiometer is a digital type, whereas the Spectrum™ Curing Light radiometer is a red light/green light type. An additional difference in the SPECTRUM™ 800 CURING UNIT from the Spectrum™ Curing Light is the intensity adjustment feature of the light. The operator can dial the intensity of the light. This feature will ensure the operator quality repeat output performance every time the light is used. This feature also allows the operator the ability to match the restoration type with the intensity required. We believe that the similarity of the SPECTRUM™ 800 CURING UNIT to the predicate device and the performance and safety data provided support the safety and effectiveness of the SPECTRUM™ 800 CURING UNIT for the indicated use. 000022 {1}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
