Light Intensity; Maintenance And Cleaning - Ivoclar Vivadent Bluephase Style M8 Mode D'emploi

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
800 mW/cm ± 10%.

If another light probe as the one supplied is used, the
indicated light intensity may be directly affected.
In a light probe with parallel walls (10 mm), the diameter
of the light entry and the diameter of the light emission
window are the same. When using focussing light
probes (10 > 8 mm) or Pin-Point light probes (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. As a result, the emitted light
intensity is increased.
Pin-Point light probes are suitable for spot-on polymeri-
zation, e.g. to tack veneers in place before removing
excess material. For complete polymerization, the light
probe must be changed.

5. Maintenance and cleaning

For reasons of hygiene, it is recommended to use a dis-
posable protective sleeve for each patient. Make sure to
fit the protective sleeve closely to the light probe. Disin-
fect contaminated areas of the device and anti-glare
cones (FD 366/Dürr Dental, Incidin Liquid/Ecolab) and
sterilize the light probe before each use if not using dis-
posable protective sleeves. 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 cus-
tomary aldehyde-free disinfecting solution. Do not clean
with highly aggressive disinfecting solutions (e.g. solu-
tions based on orange oil or solutions with an ethanol
content of more than 40%), solvents (e.g. acetone), or
pointed instruments, which may damage or scratch the
plastic. Clean contaminated plastic parts with a soap
solution.
