Intended Use

The Optilux 501 is a visible curing unit intended for polymerization of light cure materials and activation of dental bleaching materials.

Device Story

Optilux 501 is a dental curing light used for polymerizing light-cure materials and activating bleaching agents. The device consists of a molded plastic control unit and a cord-connected handpiece. The control unit houses a power supply, cooling fan, and an integrated curing radiometer. The handpiece contains a low-voltage halogen lamp, optical filter assembly, and a fiber optic light guide. It emits visible blue-white light in the 400nm-505nm wavelength range. Operated by a dental professional, the device is activated via a micro-switch on the handpiece. The integrated radiometer allows the clinician to monitor light output, ensuring effective polymerization of dental materials, which benefits the patient by facilitating proper restoration and treatment outcomes.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Device consists of a control unit and handpiece. Emits visible light (400-505 nm) via a low-voltage halogen lamp, optical filter, and fiber optic light guide. Includes an integrated curing radiometer for output monitoring. Control unit contains a printed circuit board for lamp and cooling fan management. Power supplied via mains cord.

Indications for Use

Indicated for polymerization of light-cure dental materials and activation of dental bleaching materials in a dental clinical setting.

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.

#### Dear Ms. Boswell:

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. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
