Safety
PLEASE NOTE!
Prior to installation and start-up of the unit, please read
these instructions carefully!
As with all electrical devices, the proper function and safe
operation of this unit depend on the user’s compliance with
the standard safety procedures as well as the specific safety
recommendations presented in these Instructions for Use.
1. Use of the device is restricted to trained
personnel in accordance with the instructions
below. The manufacturer assumes no liability for
any damage resulting from the use of this unit for
any other purpose.
2. Prior to start-up of the unit, ensure that the operating
voltage stated on the rating plate is compatible with
the available main voltage. Operation of the unit at a
different voltage may damage the unit.
3. Position the unit so that the power plug is accessible at
all times. The power plug is used to turn the unit on and
off. To disconnect the charger from the main voltage,
remove the power plug from the electrical outlet.
4. Use supplied 3M Unitek charger. The use of any
other charger can result in damage to the battery.
5. The Ortholux
™
Luminous Curing Light must be aimed
away from the eyes in order to avoid serious health
consequences due to irradiation of the eyes. Use the
eye shield . Exposure must be restricted to the area of
the oral cavity in which clinical treatment is intended.
6. CAUTION! In cases where the Ortholux Luminous
Curing Light will be used outside of the oral cavity
additional eye protection may be needed. The
reflected light from curing surfaces when not
confined to the oral cavity may be more intense
than intra-orally. It is recommended that protective
orange glasses be worn by everyone in close
proximity of the extraoral curing in addition to the
use of the eye-shield on the light.
7. CAUTION! The Ortholux Luminous Curing Light
generates high intensity light. High intensity light always
involves the production of heat. The light emitted should
be aimed directly above the material to be cured -
exposure of the soft tissues (gingiva, oral mucosa, and
skin) to high-intensity light should be avoided as such
exposure may cause damage or irritation. If applicable,
cover such areas. If exposure of soft tissues cannot
be avoided, adjust the polymerization process to the
light level, e.g., by shortening the polymerization times
or increasing the distance between the light guide exit
and the material to be cured. When utilizing the light
in Extended Mode (15s), do not keep the light in one
position. Longer exposure in the region of the pulp can
lead to injury or irritation of the pulp, which is why the
specified exposure times must not be exceeded.
