It is operated by dental professionals in a clinical setting to polymerize resin or glass ionomer-based dental materials used for restorative, sealing, or cementing procedures. The device delivers up to 1000mW/cm2 of light energy for user-selectable durations between 10 and 40 seconds. By providing the necessary light intensity and wavelength, the device initiates the curing process, allowing the clinician to harden dental materials in situ. This facilitates efficient restorative and bonding workflows, ultimately benefiting the patient by ensuring the structural integrity and proper setting of dental restorations. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Comparative performance testing demonstrated that the SAVEDENT BLUE provides the same or better cure depth for a given exposure time compared to the predicate device. ## Technological Characteristics Handheld LED-based light curing unit. Delivers up to 1000mW/cm2. Operates at specific wavelengths for polymerizing dental resins and glass ionomers. User-selectable exposure times (10-40 seconds). ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - Elipar™ Freelight ([K011154](/device/K011154.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

SAVEDENT The BLUE is a LED based curing light intended to polymerise and therefore cure, harden or set resin or glass ionomer based dental materials used for restorative, sealing or cementing procedures. It is a lightweight handheld unit delivering up to 1000mW/cm2 for set times between 10 and 40 seconds. It has the same intended purpose, uses the same technology as and offers the same significant output parameters (power density and wavelength) as the predicate device and is therefore substantially equivalent to it. Comparative tests have demonstrated that SAVEDENTIAN BLUE provides the same or better performance in terms of cure depth for a given exposure time as the predicate device. {1}------------------------------------------------ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white seal for the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.
