5.5 Eye safety
WARNING
The scanner emits bright light from its tip during operation .
The scanner complies with EN (IEC) 62471 (Photobiological
safety of lamps and lamp systems) . However, we recommend
caution when handling the scanner .
A brief glimpse of the light into the eye is not dangerous,
but do not stare into the beam or view directly with optical
instruments, and do not aim the beam towards other
people’s eyes . In general, viewing bright light sources
(e .g . headlights), which have a high secondary exposure
potential due to their blinding effect, may cause temporary
reduction in visual acuity and afterimages, leading to irri-
tation, annoyance, visual impairment, and even accidents,
depending on the situation .
5.6 Hygiene
WARNING
To maintain a clean work environment and the safety
of the patient, wear clean examination gloves when:
• Handling the scanner tip – changing the tip, setting
the tip for upper/lower scans or handling the mirror .
• Handling the protection tip .
• Handling the color calibration kit .
• Applying TRIOS for scanning patients .
• Touching the TRIOS IOS system .
WARNING
Always clean the scanner unit and its optical window before
attaching the protection tip . Do not allow patient contact
with the protection tip .
WARNING
Always have the scanner tip mounted when you insert
the scanner into the patient’s mouth or when the scanner
comes in contact with the patient in any way . Mounting
of the scanner tip is always required for maximal electrical
safety and due to the risk of contamination .
WARNING
Always have a cleaned and sterilized scanner tip mounted
before attaching the color calibration adaptor . Do not
allow patient contact with the color calibration kit .
WARNING
Before each patient, you must:
• disinfect the system,
• apply a new sterilized or high-level disinfected tip to the
scanner .
See the detailed instruction in the chapter below .
System S3P (pod) only
WARNING
Before each patient, make sure any PC connected to the
system and its peripherals are disinfected . It is recom-
mended to use medical-grade peripherals (e .g ., keyboards
and mice) that can be disinfected easily .
5.7 Safety when scanning with TRIOS
CAUTION
The handheld scanner is a highly precise optical instrument
and must be handled carefully . Do not drop, shake or bump
the handheld scanner, as these actions could cause it to break
or malfunction . Follow these guidelines:
• Always return the handheld scanner to its mount when
not in use .
• Do not submerge the handheld scanner in any liquids .
• Do not place the handheld scanner on heated or wet
surfaces .
• Grip the handheld scanner firmly during scanning
and when removing/returning it to its mount .
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The scanner will get warm during use . This is normal
but not part of any patient treatment .
CAUTION
The handheld scanner tip is fragile and contains a delicate
mirror . To avoid damage to the tip and mirror, take care not
to bump the tip onto the patient’s teeth or restorations .
CAUTION
When the TRIOS system is used for pediatric patients,
please pay extra attention while scanning the patient .
5.8 Protection from overheating
WARNING
The ventilation openings in the rear of the handheld
scanner must never be blocked or obstructed .
If overheated, the scanner may become uncomfortably
warm and eventually shut down .
System S3A (MOVE/MOVE+ cart) only
WARNING
Ventilation openings must never be blocked or obstructed .
There are openings at the back of the MOVE/MOVE+ cart
(behind the touch screen) and on the top and the bottom
of the base of the MOVE/MOVE+ cart . If overheated, the
system may stop functioning .
6. Cleaning, Disinfection,
and Sterilization
6.1 Cleaning, high-level disinfecting,
and sterilizing the scanner tip
The TRIOS scanner tip is the part of the scanner that is inserted into the
patient’s mouth during scanning . The tip can be reused a limited number
of times, but it must be cleaned and sterilized, or cleaned and high-level
disinfected, between patients to avoid cross contamination .
