Morita USA, Inc. - **Product Code:** [EBZ](/submissions/DE/subpart-g%E2%80%94miscellaneous-devices/EBZ.md) - **Decision Date:** Jan 5, 2007 - **Decision:** SESE - **Submission Type:** Traditional - **Regulation:** 21 CFR 872.6070 - **Device Class:** Class 2 - **Review Panel:** Dental - **Attributes:** Therapeutic ## Intended Use The Pencure is intended to polymerize (set) resinous dental pit and fissure sealants or dental restorative materials by light from head. ## Device Story Pencure VL-7 is a cordless, pen-style dental curing light used by dentists to polymerize resinous dental materials. The device utilizes a blue LED to emit a light beam with a wavelength of 420-480nm. The beam is designed to be nearly parallel to minimize light intensity reduction. The handpiece features a rotatable head for improved positioning, particularly for molars. The dentist manually positions the device to irradiate the polymer material directly. The device is intended for use in a dental clinical setting. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing and comparison of technological characteristics to predicate devices. ## Technological Characteristics Cordless, pen-style dental curing light. Light source: blue LED (420-480nm). Features rotatable head and parallel beam output. Class II device. Regulatory category: Ultraviolet activator for polymerization (21 CFR 872.6070). ## 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 - JETLITE5000 ([K051780](/device/K051780.md)) - SmartLite™ PS Pen-Style LED Curing Light ([K041372](/device/K041372.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Substantial Equivalency is claimed against the following device: The VL-7 covered by this submission is substantially equivalent to other legally marketed Ultraviolet activators. ### 1) Predicate device I The VL-7 is substantially equivalent to the JETLITE5000 from J.MORITA USA.INC. , (K#051780). The VL-7 has similar general intended uses, similar principles of orare: on, and similar technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate JETLITE5000. #### 2) Predicate device II The VL-7 is substantially equivalent to the SmartLite™ PS Pen-Style LED Curing Light from DENTSPLY DeTrey GmbH (K#041372). The VL-7 has similar general intended uses, similar principles of operation, and similar technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate SmartLite™ PS Pen-Style LED Curing Light . Although there are minor differences in the characteristics of the VL-7and its predicate devices, these differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. ### 6. Description of the device The VL-7 is a dental curing light manufactured by J. MORITA MFG. CORP. The VL-7 is to be used at the dental treatment of curing polymer cement by the dentist. The VL-7 delivers an optimum wavelength of between 420 and 480nm by using blue LED. Its powerful light beam is directly irradiated on polymer material. There are three characteristics. - 1. The irradiated beam is almost the same as parallel. Therefore, the percentage of reducing light intensity is lower. - 2. The cordless handpiece can be easily positioned at molars. - 3. The head part of the handpiece is able to be rotated around the axis of handpiece. ## 7. Indications for use The Pencure is intended to polymerize (set) resinous dental pit and fissure sealants or dental restorative materials by light from head. {2}------------------------------------------------ #### 8. Safety and effectiveness of the device This device is safe and effective as the other predicate device cited above. This is better expressed in the tabulated comparison ( Paragraph 9 below). #### Substantial Equivalent comparison table 9. | Model name of Predicate Device | JETLITE 5000 | SmartLite™ PS Pen-Style
