## Device Story
Absolute White Light is a battery-operated, hand-held device for consumer use. It emits visible blue light at 400 nm to activate photoactive substances in teeth, generating minimal heat. Safety features include a 2-minute automatic shut-off and a 'Light Guard' to prevent ocular exposure. The device is used in the oral cavity to assist in tooth whitening procedures. It functions as a light source in conjunction with a bleaching agent.
## Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. The device was evaluated for compliance with EN 61000-6-1 and EN 61000-6-3 electromagnetic compatibility standards.
## Technological Characteristics
Hand-held, battery-operated LED light source. Emits 400 nm blue light. Includes automatic 2-minute shut-off timer and physical light guard. Manufactured per 21 CFR 820, DIN EN ISO 13485:2003, and DIN EN ISO 9001:2000. Complies with EN 61000-6-1 and EN 61000-6-3 EMC standards.
## Regulatory Identification
A heat source for bleaching teeth is an AC-powered device that consists of a light or an electric heater intended to apply heat to a tooth after it is treated with a bleaching agent.
## Predicate Devices
- Dentovations Luster Whitening System (formerly South Beach Smile Light and Klear Action) ([K042153](/device/K042153.md))
