operation can affect the EMC properties of the unit,
the possibility that, under unfavorable conditions,
there will be EMC disruptions cannot be completely
excluded. If you should notice problems in the
operation of this or other units, move the unit to a dif-
ferent location. The EMC manufacturer’s declaration
is listed in the appendix.
18. CAUTION! Portable high-frequency communication
devices including their accessories should keep a
minimum distance of 30 cm to Elipar DeepCure-S.
Otherwise, the performance characteristics of the
device may be reduced.
19. Prior to each use of the unit ensure that the emitted
light intensity is sufficient to safely guarantee poly-
merization. Check the light guide and the light guide
mounting port to make sure they are clean. If neces-
sary, the light guide mounting port and the light
guide can be cleaned as described in the section
“Maintenance and Care” (see also the section “Mea-
surement of Light Intensity”).
Please report a serious incident occurring in relation to
the device to 3M and the local competent authority (EU)
or local regulatory authority.

2 exposures lasting 10 seconds each instead of
1 exposure lasting 20 seconds).
8 Elipar DeepCure-S may be operated only with the
supplied light guide or original 3M replacement
and accessory light guide. The light guide must be
seen as an applied part. The use of other light
guides may result in a reduction or increase in the
light intensity. The product’s warranty does not
cover any damage resulting from the use of third-
party light guides.
9. Use only genuine 3M parts when replacing defec-
tive components as directed in these Operating
Instructions. The product’s warranty does not cov-
er any damage resulting from the
use of third-party replacement parts.
10. Should you have any reason to suspect the safety
of the unit to be compromised, the unit must be
taken out of operation and labeled accordingly
to prevent third parties from inadvertently
using a possibly defective unit. Safety may be
compro mised, e.g., if the unit malfunctions or is
noticeably damaged.
11. Keep solvents, flammable liquids, and sources of
intense heat away from the unit as they may
damage the plastic housing of the charger, the
seals, or the cover on the operating buttons.
12. Do not allow cleaning agents to enter the unit as
this may short-circuit the unit or cause potentially
dangerous malfunction.
13. Only service centers authorized by 3M Deutsch -
land GmbH may open the unit housing and repair
the device.
14. CAUTION: this device must not be modified with-
out the manufacturer’s permission.
15. Individuals with a history of cataract surgery may
be particularly sensitive to the exposure to light and
should be discouraged from Elipar DeepCure-S
treatment unless adequate safety measures, such
as the use of protective goggles to remove blue
light, are undertaken.
16. Individuals with a history of retinal disease should
seek advice from their ophthalmologist prior to op-
erating the unit. In operating the Elipar DeepCure-S
unit, this group of individuals must take extreme
care and comply with any and all safety precau-
tions (including the use of suitable light-filtering
safety goggles).
