4. 

Adjust the LED Tip: 

The LED Tip rotates by 360°, thus the position of light emission 

may be freely adjusted. The tip must be adjusted to an angle that most optimal curing of 

the restoration is possible. The tip must not touch the restoration material but should be 

positioned as close as possible to the restoration. 

 

5. 

Polymerisation: 

Shortly press the ON/OFF key

. The start of the 10-second 

exposure cycle is indicated by an acoustic signal. The end of 10-second exposure cycle 

is likewise indicated by an acoustic signal. 

For detailed information on curing times for DENTSPLY light cured products, please see 

the Curing Guide supplied. For products other than those from DENTSPLY, please refer 

to the curing times given by the respective manufacturer.   

Wait for at least 30 seconds between exposures. If time intervals between exposures are 

too short, this may lead to a potentially tissue injurious overheating of the LED Tip.  

10.3 Maintenance 

Prevention of cross infection, cleaning, disinfection, and storage 

The use of the sleeve is an additional precautionary measure against contamination and 

does not substitute disinfection of the device.  

After use, remove sleeve. Clean and disinfect LED Tip and hand piece with commercial 

alcohol based surface disinfecting solution (Dürr FD 322, Henkel Incidin Liquid, S&M 

Mikrozid Liquid, B.Braun Meliseptol rapid). Keep other solvents or flammable liquids as well 

as intense sources of heat away from the unit as they may damage its plastic housing.  

Always safeguard charger, hand piece, and LED Tip against moisture as this may cause 

electrical short-circuit or dangerous malfunction. 

  

Light output control  

Make sure that the LED aperture is clean and scratch-free, otherwise light output will be 

reduced and may be insufficient for proper curing of the material. 

Control of light efficiency is recommended (e. g. by using CureRite™). The CureRite output 

should exceed 730 mW/cm². 

 

Battery maintenance

 

The battery needs a total of 10 hours to be fully re-charged.  

When the battery is charging, the battery light flashes green.  

Upon complete recharging, the battery light remains continuously green.
