Intended Use
The Optilux Curing Lights are visible light curing units intended for polymerization of light cure materials.
Device Story
Optilux Curing Lights (Models 380, 401, 405) are dental devices for polymerizing light-cure materials. System comprises a molded plastic control unit and a cord-connected handpiece. Handpiece contains a low-voltage halogen lamp, optical filter assembly, and fiber optic light guide; generates blue-white visible light (400-515 nm). Operation involves manual activation via a micro-switch on the handpiece. Model 380 includes integrated radiometer circuitry. Used by dental professionals in clinical environments to harden dental restorative materials. Benefits include efficient, controlled polymerization of light-activated dental resins.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Molded plastic housing; low-voltage halogen lamp; optical filter assembly; fiber optic light guide; bandwidth 400-515 nm; printed circuit board control circuitry; cooling fan; Model 380 includes integrated radiometer; corded handpiece; electrical power source.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the polymerization of light-cured dental materials in a clinical setting.
Regulatory Classification
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.

Date Summary Prepared: January 2002
#### Device Name:
- Trade Name Optilux Curing Lights .
- Common Name Curing Light .
- . Classification Name - Ultraviolet activator for polymerization, per 21 CFR & 872.6070
#### Devices for Which Substantial Equivalence is Claimed:
- . Kerr Corporation, Optilux 400
#### Device Description:
The Optilux Curing Lights, Models 380, 401 and 405, are devices used for the polymerization of dental materials using visible light. They consist of a control unit and cord connected handpiece. The molded plastic control units house the printed circuit board with control circuitry for the lamp and cooling fan. Additionally, the printed circuit board for the Model 380 contains control circuitry for radiometer functions. Model 380 also has a permanently attached power cord, however the power cords on Models 401 and 405 are detachable. The handpiece cord attached to the Model 405 is separable by a panel mount connector, which allows the control unit to be installed inside a cabinet or dental chair.
The molded plastic handpieces contain a low voltage halogen lamp, optical filter assembly and a fiber optic light guide that generates visible (blue-white) light energy having a bandwidth of approximately 400 - 515 nm. The handpieces also contain a small printed circuit board with a micro-switch for activation of the curing lamp.
{1}------------------------------------------------
# Intended Use of the Device:
The intended use of the Optilux Curing Lights are for the polymerization of light cure materials.
# Substantial Equivalence:
The Optilux Curing Lights are substantially equivalent to other legally marketed devices in the United States. The Optilux Curing Lights function in a manner similar to and are intended for the same use as the Optilux 400 designed by Kerr Corporation.

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. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
