Ivoclar Vivadent Cavifil Mode D'emploi

Description
The Cavifil Injector is used to apply dental filling materials directly from the Cavifil
into the tooth cavity to be restored.
Fig. 1 Cavifil Injector (1) and the Cavifil (2), which is introduced from below.
Fig. 2 The lever is uniformly activated to extrude the contents of the Cavifil.
Application:
– Introduce the Cavifil (capsule filled with restorative material) into the respective
recess of the Injector from below and press until it snaps into place (Fig. 1).
– The Cavifil is now secured in the Injector and can be rotated 360°, if required.
– Apply the Cavifil content by uniformly activating the lever (Fig. 2).
– Excessively fast extrusion of the contents from the Cavifil or the exertion of
extremely high force during application should be avoided.
– After applying the material, remove the Cavifil by pressing it downwards and
prepare the Cavifil Injector for reuse.
Disinfection, cleaning and sterilization
General notes:
Please also observe the country-specific regulations and guidelines regarding the
hygiene standards and cleaning/disinfection of medical devices in dental practices.
New non-sterile Cavifil Injectors must be subjected to a complete preparation cycle
before they are used for the first time. The Cavifil Injectors must be cleaned and disin-
fected after every use. Oxidizing disinfectant solutions are not suitable. Furthermore,
sterilization in the steam sterilizer is explicitly recommended!
Do not use damaged Injectors. Maintenance and repair work should only be carried
out by specialist staff.
Protective gloves and goggles complying with the requirements of directive
89/686/EEC must be worn to handle any used and contaminated Injectors.
Generally, automated cleaning in a washer disinfector (WD) unit
is preferable to manual cleaning!
Manual cleaning should only be used if automated cleaning is not possible. Only a
WD (compliant with EN ISO 15883) with proven effectiveness must be used to ensure
reliable automated cleaning and disinfection. The operator is responsible for ensuring
that the validation, performance re-qualification and periodic routine checks of the
cleaning procedures in the washer disinfector are defined, documented and carried
out appropriately.
Restrictions on cleaning and disinfecting:
The end of the product's life span is mainly determined by wear and damage through
use. Frequent cleaning and disinfecting have no impact on the performance of this
product.
Preparation at the treatment area:
Carefully remove large unhardened residue from the Injector with a lint-free cellulose
tissue immediately after use. The Cavifil Injector may either be placed in a removal
container (dry removal) or directly immersed in a combination of detergent and disin-
fectant (wet removal), see below, for transportation to the cleaning and sterilization
area. In any case, it is advisable to transport the Injector to the cleaning area as soon
as possible. Waiting periods of several hours between use and cleaning should be ab-
solutely avoided.
