Area of application
The SiroLaser Blue can be used for additional dental procedures with
two types of reusable therapy light guides of different diameters:
● Light guide (MultiTip 8 mm), diameter: 8 mm
● Light guide (MultiTip 4 mm), diameter: 4 mm
The light guides are delivered non-sterile.
WARNING
After 2,000 sterilization cycles or 2 years which marks the end of the
service period, the MultiTips will have reached their wear limit. Please
check the usage period based on the LOT number (definition of LOT
= week year e.g. 0215 for calendar week 2, 2015). Please replace the
light guide accordingly. The optical output can be reduced.
The MultiTips can be used only with the SiroLaser Blue in the spectral
range of 445 nm ± 5 nm, 660 nm ± 5 nm and 970 nm -10/+15 nm.
WARNING
If light guide rods from other manufacturers are used, physical
properties such as load carrying capacity and transmission behavior
may vary. Dentsply Sirona therefore assumes no liability in such
cases.Therefore, use only Dentsply Sirona light guide rods.
4.4.2.3.2
Preparation for clinical application
WARNING
For safety reasons it is necessary to use the 4 mm or the 8 mm light
guide (MultiTip) if wavelength of 660 nm is chosen
1.
The MultiTips are delivered non-sterile. Make sure that the rod is
clean and sterile. The metal handpiece sleeve can be cleaned in the
autoclave (high-pressure sterilizer), see chapter "Cleaning,
disinfection and sterilization [→ 63]".
2.
Select the required MultiTip light guide (diameter 8 mm or 4 mm),
see chapter „List of preset indications”.
3.
Please perform a visual check to make sure that the MultiTip is not
damaged or has not reached its wear limit.
4.
Connect the optical connection of the MultiTip to the optical socket
of the handpiece. Press the MultiTip with light pressure against the
handpiece, until the MultiTip perceptibly clicks into place and is
firmly seated.
5.
Put the laser into operation by choosing any preset treatment
destined for the light guide. A corresponding description is provided
in chapter "Operation [→ 36]".
