The device consists of a plastic molded handpiece, an LED light engine, a cooling fan, and a printed circuit board. It connects to a dental chair unit, utilizing the chair's power supply. A microprocessor-controlled digital circuit manages two curing modes, regulating LED output timing, fan operation, and audible beeps. A pushbutton trigger activates the curing cycle. Operated by dental professionals in a clinical setting, the device provides controlled light energy to harden dental restorative materials, facilitating dental procedures. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics LED-based light curing handpiece; includes cooling fan and printed circuit board. Microprocessor-controlled digital circuitry for timing and power management. Powered by dental chair unit transformer. Plastic molded housing. ## 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 - Kerr Corporation, L.E.

NOV 1 0 2004 ### SYBRON DENTAL SPECIALTIES Section III - 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Submitter: Sybron Dental Specialties, Inc. 1717 W. Collins Avenue Orange, California 92867 (714) 516-7484 - Phone (714) 516-7488 - Facsimile Colleen Boswell - Contact Person Date Summary Prepared: October 2004 #### Device Name: - Trade Name Demetron I.D.S. . - . Common Name - L.E.D. Curing Light - Classification Name -- Ultraviolet activator for polymerization, per 21 CFR § 872.6070 . #### Devices for Which Substantial Equivalence is Claimed: - Kerr Corporation, L.E. Demetron . #### Device Description: The LED based Demetron I.D.S. Curing Light is a device used for the polymerization of dental materials. It consists of an LED curing handpiece and flexible cord designed to be connected to a dental chair unit. The plastic molded handpiece will contain an LED light "engine", a cooling fan and a printed circuit board. A digital circuit and microprocessor will be utilized to control 2 different curing modes and power to the LED. Each mode specifies LED curing output timing, fan timing and audible beep timing. A pushbutton "trigger" switch will be used to select the curing mode and activate the LED curing output. The dental chair manufacturer's transformer or power supply will provide power for the handpiece. #### Intended Use of the Device: The intended use of Demetron I.D.S. is for the polymerization of visible light cured materials. #### Substantial Equivalence: Demetron I.D.S. is substantially equivalent to other legally marketed devices in the United States. Demetron I.D.S. functions in a manner similar to and is intended for the same use as the L.E. Demetron designed by Kerr Corporation. {1}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image is a circular seal with the words "DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES - USA" written around the edge.

Food and Drug Administration 9200 Corporate Boulevard Rockville MD 20850 # NOV 1 0 2004 Kerr Corporation C/O Ms. Colleen Boswell Director, Corporate Compliance Sybron Dental Specialties, Incorporated 1717 West Collins Avenue Orange, California 92867 Re: K042888 Trade/Device Name: Demetron I.D.S. Regulation Number: 872.6070 Regulation Name: Ultraviolet Activator for Polymerization Regulatory Class: II Product Code: EBZ Dated: October 15, 2004 Received: October 19, 2004 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.
