Maintenance and cleaning

For reasons of hygiene, it is recommended to use a pro-
tective sleeve for each patient.
Contaminated surfaces of the device, as well as light
probes and anti-glare cones must be disinfected (e.g.
FD333/Dürr Dental, Incidin Liquid/Ecolab) or autoclaved
before each use. Make sure that no liquids or other for-
eign substances enter the handpiece, charging base and
particularly the power pack during cleaning (risk of elec-
trical shock). Disconnect the charging base from the
power source when cleaning it.

Housing

Wipe the handpiece and handpiece holder with a cus-
tomary aldehyde-free disinfecting solution. Do not clean
with highly aggressive disinfecting solutions (e.g. solu-
tions based on orange oil or with an ethanol content of
more than 50%), solvents (e.g. acetone), or pointed
instruments, which may damage or scratch the plastic.
Clean dirty plastic parts with a soap solution.

Light probes

Clean light probe with a disinfectant and a soft cloth.
Carefully remove any possible material residue, such as
composite material, from the light probe with e.g. finger-
nail or a plastic spatula. Do not use sharp or pointed
instruments, since they may scratch the surface of the
light probe and thus reduce light transmission. Light
probes and anti-glare cones may be autoclaved. Check
light probe for damage. If the light probe is held against
a light source and certain segments appear black, then
the glass fibres are broken. In this case, the light probe
has to be replaced with a new one.

Battery contacts

For good conductivity at all times, keep the battery con-
tacts free from possible contamination (e.g. composite
residue). For this purpose, clean the affected contacts
regularly in the course of the usual wipe disinfection
(after each patient).

Disposal

The apparatus must not be disposed in the
normal domestic waste.
Dispose unserviceable batteries and polymer-
ization lights according to the corresponding
legal requirements in your country. Batteries
must not be incinerated.
