It utilizes violet and blue LED technology to emit light in the 385-480 nm range to cure photo-activated dental restorative materials and adhesives. The device consists of a rechargeable handpiece with a multi-LED tip, a base unit for charging, a light-scattering blocking cap, and disposable barrier sleeves. The clinician operates the device to initiate photo-polymerization of monomers and oligomers. It features multiple curing modes, including a 'soft start' mode, and additional white light and violet light modes. The output is used to harden dental composites, directly affecting the structural integrity of dental restorations. The device provides a portable, cordless solution for dental curing procedures. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. No clinical data. Testing included radiometric power, spectral irradiance, LED lifetime (3-year simulation), depth of cure (per ISO 4049:2009), thermal generation, software validation, and electrical safety/EMC (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2). Results demonstrated performance comparable to the predicate device. ## Technological Characteristics Aluminum body, glass lens. Light source: 8-LED package (blue and white LEDs). Wavelength: 385-490 nm. Power: 1200 watts/cm². Energy source: Li-Manganese rechargeable battery. Convection cooled. Non-sterile.

Modes / Durations | Yes | Yes | Similarities between the Le'pen and Valo Cordless: - The Le'pen has identical indications for use as the predicate device, the Valo Cordless. - . The Le pen has the same mode of action as the predicate device, the Valo Cordless (i.e. photo-polymerization of monomers and oligomers to polymers via activation of photoinitiators). - . The Le'pen has equivalent performance characteristics as the predicate device (Valo Cordless) as both products use the same light source (LED). - The Le'pen has equivalent performance characteristics as the predicate device (Valo Cordless) as both products provide the user with various curing durations / settings. - The Le'pen and the Valo provide a nearly equivalent wavelength spectrum range. - . The Le'pen is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (Valo Cordless) as both devices shown compliance with IEC 60601-1 and ADA 48 (i.e. ISO 10650-1). - The Le'pen and the Valo Cordless are both equivalent in their design; both medical devices are Li-ion battery operated cordless devices with an aluminum body construction. - The Le'pen and the Valo Cordless have identical mass. Difference between the Le'pen and Valo Cordless: - . The Le'pen uses an LED package containing 8 LEDs, while the predicate device (Valo Cordless) utilizes an LED package containing 4 LEDs. - This does not raise any substantial equivalence concerns as the total energy emitted {6}------------------------------------------------ is very similar between the devices, as shown during benchtop testing. Additionally, benchtop testing confirmed adequate depth of cure, radiometric power, and spectral distribution of the subject device and confirmed substantial equivalence to the predicate device. - Therefore, the Le'pen remains substantially equivalent to the Valo Cordless. O - The Le'pen contains a white light mode, whereas the Valo Cordless does not. - This does not raise any substantial equivalence concerns as the white light is O classified as a class I medical device (CRF 872.4630, dental operating light). - o It should be noted that other 510(k) cleared dental curing lights contain a white light mode: K152936 - Sirius Max Diode Curing Light and K170101 - Valiant Curing Light. These device are mentioned for reference purpose only. - O Therefore, the Le'pen remains substantially equivalent to the Valo Cordless. - The Le'pen contains a Violet mode, whereas the Valo Cordless does not. - o Many photopolymerizable dental materials contain lower wavelength photoinitiators (between 385nm and 410nm). Therefore, this violet mode is simply another curing mode and does not introduce any additional safety or efficacy concerns and does not make the subject device not substantially equivalent. - O Therefore, the Le'pen remains substantially equivalent to the Valo Cordless. - . Slight variations in "radiometric power" and "light duration" exist between the Le ben and Valo Cordless. - о Functionality testing (e.g. Depth of Cure testing) confirmed that the Le'pen provides satisfactory depth of cure results for various dental composite resins. Therefore, any slight differences in "radiometric power" and "light duration" do not yield any efficacy or safety concern as the Le'pen cures composite effectively. Therefore, the Le'pen remains substantially equivalent to the Valo Cordless. - The Le'pen has a "soft start mode", whereas the Valo Cordless does not. - O Functionality testing (e.g. Depth of Cure testing) confirmed that the Le'pen provides satisfactory depth of cure results for various dental composite resins on all Le'pen settings. Therefore, the "soft start mode" does not yield any efficacy or safety concern as the Le'pen cures composite effectively. Therefore, the Le'pen remains substantially equivalent to the Valo Cordless. - It should be noted that other 510(k) cleared dental curing lights contain a "soft start" o or "ramp" mode: K152936 - Sirius Max Diode Curing Light and K170101 - Valiant Curing Light. These device are mentioned for reference purpose only. The Le'pen and Valo Cordless share similar intended uses, technical characteristics, specifications, and features. Kiiam concludes that the Le'pen is substantially equivalent to the Valo Cordless, and that any of the discussed differences between the two devices do not raise any additional safety or efficacy concerns that would necessitate further testing. ### 807.92(b)(1-3) Brief Discussion of the Nonclinical & Clinical Testing The following nonclinical tests were performed to evaluate device safety and efficacy as well as offer {7}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/7/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for Kii.am. The "Kii." part of the logo is in a dark blue color, while the "am" part is in a light green color. There is a leaf above the "a" in "am". a comparison to the predicate device. - 1. Radiometric Power Testing - a. Testing concluded that the Le'pen provided similar to or greater radiometric power compared to the predicate device, Valo Cordless. These results, in conjunction with "Depth of Cure" testing, supports a designation of substantial equivalence as similar functionality is provided by the Le'pen and Valo Cordless. - 2. Spectral Irradiance Testing - a. Testing verified the spectrum emitted from the Le'pen matches the intended specifications. Comparing the spectrum results between the Le'pen and Valo Cordless supports a substantial equivalent designation as both curing lights emit nearly identical wavelength spectrums for curing dental materials. - 3. LED Lifetime - a. Testing verified device longevity through simulating LED use over a three year period. This test supports product efficacy and longevity. - 4. Depth of Cure - a. Testing was performed in-line with the ISO 4049:2009 standard which is commensurate with depth of cure testing described in the FDA Curing Light Guidance. Results confirm that satisfactory depth of cure was achieved for several dental composite resins and shades. Results support device efficacy as well as substantial equivalence as compliance with the ISO 4049:2009 standard was observed. - 5. Thermal Generation - a. Testing verified that the device does not reach unsafe temperatures during typical use and simulated worst-case scenarios. Results support device safety as well as substantial equivalence as the predicate device exhibits thermal safety during routine use. - 6. Software Validation - a. Testing confirmed the device's software is functioning properly. This test supports product efficacy and safety. - 7. Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility - a. Testing confirmed that the device is safety and in compliance with relevant electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards (IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2). Based on the longstanding history of dental curing lights, significant published literature confirming safety and efficacy of LED-based dental curing lights, and satisfactory benchtop testing, Kiiam concludes that clinical testing is not deemed necessary. ## Conclusion The Le'pen is substantially equivalent to the Valo Cordless (K110582) in intended use and operation; both medical devices use LEDs as the source of light for curing dental materials. Benchtop testing, and existing literature on LED-based dental curing lights, supports substantial equivalence of the {8}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/8/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for Kii.am.
