High-intensity dental lights should not be used by operators or on patients who may be photo-sensitive.
Use extreme caution with patients who have any conditions which may make any portions of their mouths heat
sensitive.
Do not expose soft oral tissues directly to the tip of the light or to the light coming out of the tip at close proximity.
Do not direct the light on to unprotected gingiva or skin. Even a portion of the beam directed on unprotected
gingiva or skin can cause a rapid rise in temperature. While the reflective surface of the teeth is less prone to this
effect, the condition of oral tissue must be monitored closely during exposure to the light.
Use the correct curing tip to ensure the light is focused on the tooth. The intense light can quickly blister gums
or unprotected skin. Counsel patient to immediately notify you if they experience discomfort associated with a
temperature rise or heat. Apply the light for only as long is needed to achieve required cure or bleaching. Do not
over expose.
Use the 2 mm and 4 mm Ceri-Taper™ Tacking Tips only for tacking of restoratives. They may also be used for
curing of lumineers but only for 1 to 2 seconds exposure times. Extreme care must be used with use of the
2 mm and 4 mm Ceri-Taper Tacking Tips. The smaller tips focus all of the lamp energy output into a smaller
focused area.
Only use the light guide supplied with the Sapphire
®
Plus. Other light guides may not be effective and may
damage the light. Do not cause excessive bending in the light guide. Do not drop the light guide or tip. Do not
autoclave the light shield provided with the unit. Do not autoclave the light guide. Removable curing tip
is autoclavable.
Do not use abrasives or liquid chemicals to clean the tip or the light housing.
The fan at the rear of the light provides cooling when the system is on. Obstructing the air flow will cause heat
buildup and will damage the system. If the system fan does not come on, do not use the device and contact
DenMat for repair.
Do not store liquid above the Sapphire Plus. Disconnect the Sapphire Plus power cord from the power outlet
and contact the factory for service instructions if the light or the main unit has been exposed to liquid spills,
dropped, or otherwise damaged (including the power cord), or otherwise malfunctions.
Do not use in the presence of flammable materials, including but not limited to flammable mixtures of anesthetic
gases. Do not use in an oxygen rich environment. Equipment is non-AP.
In a power outage or for failure of this equipment, it is the dental professional’s judgment with respect to how
to proceed. If the unit is being used to cure, dental restoratives are “dual cure” and will slowly cure without the
photo initiation from the blue light (consult Instructions for Use of the restorative material). Maintain back-up
equipment where possible.
Periodically inspect the power cord to ensure it is not worn or frayed. Also inspect it each time the unit is plugged
in to ensure it has not been damaged. Replace per instructions in this User’s Manual if needed.
