Maintenance and Cleaning
Cure Memory function
The latest time setting used is automatically saved.
Start
The light is switched on by means of the start button.
During curing a signal beep sounds every 10 seconds.
Once the selected curing time has elapsed, the curing
program is automatically terminated. If desired, the light
can be switched off before the set curing time has
elapsed by pressing the start button again.
Acoustic signals
Acoustic signals can be heard for the following functions:
– Start (Stop)
– Every 10 seconds
– Curing time change
– Error message
Light intensity
The light intensity is maintained at a consistent level
during operation. If the supplied 10 mm light probe is
used, the light intensity has been calibrated
to 1,100 mW/cm
2 ± 10%.
If another light probe than the one supplied is used, it
directly influences the emitted light intensity.
In a light probe with parallel walls (10 mm), the diameter
of the light entry and the light emission window is the
same. When using focussing light probes (10>8 mm light
probe, Pin-Point light probe 6>2 mm), the diameter of
the light entry is larger than that of the light emission
window. The incident blue light is thus bundled to a
smaller area. In this way, the emitted light intensity is
increased.
Pin-Point light probes are suitable for spot-on poly-
merization, e.g. to fix veneers before the removal of
excess. For complete polymerization, the light probe
must be changed.
For reasons of hygiene, we recommend using a disposable
protective sleeve for each patient. Make sure to fit the
protective sleeve closely to the light probe. Disinfect
contaminated surfaces of the device and anti-glare cones
(FD 366/Dürr Dental, Incidin Liquid/Ecolab) and sterilize
the light probe before each use if disposable protective
sleeves are not used. Make sure that no liquids or other
foreign substances enter the handpiece, charging base
and particularly the power pack during cleaning (risk of
electrical shock). Disconnect the charging base from the
power source when cleaning it.
Housing
Wipe the handpiece and handpiece holder with a
customary aldehyde-free disinfecting solution. Do not
clean with highly aggressive disinfecting solutions (e.g.
solutions based on orange oil or with an ethanol content
of more than 40%), solvents (e.g. acetone), or pointed
instruments, which may damage or scratch the plastic.
Clean dirty plastic parts with a soapy solution.
Light probe
Before cleaning and/or disinfecting the light probe,
pretreat it. This applies to both automated and manual
cleaning and disinfection.
