Anyone who has had a cataract operation may be especially sensitive to light and
should be advised against undergoing treatment with a SmartLite PS LED curing light
unless adequate safety precautions are taken such as wearing suitable, light filtering
safety glasses.
Do not use a device which has not been properly disinfected (see Chapter MAINTE-
NANCE). Protect LED Tip from contamination by applying a disposable, single patient
use sleeve (DENTSPLY Disposa-Shield
®
).
For electrical medical devices specific safety precautions apply which have to be ob-
served
. Do not use mobile phones or other portable communication tools, as they can
interfere with the function of SmartLite PS.
Never aim the light directly at unprotected soft tissues, as this may cause injury or irritation.
Do not aim the light at eyes.
Light reflected from the tooth surface may also injure eyes. Use the protective shield
supplied with the unit or suitable, light filtering safety glasses.
The time intervals between the curing of consecutive layers have to be at least 30 sec-
onds. If time intervals are shorter, this will result in heat build-up of the LED tip which
may cause discomfort or tissue irritation.
Limit the action of the light to the area being treated.
INSTALLATION AND CHARGING
. Plug in charging unit.
. Insert the handpiece
into the charging unit
.
The battery light will be flashing green, indicating ongoing charging of the battery.
3. Charge the device for at least 0 hours prior to first use. Complete charge of the
curing light is indicated by a continuously green light.
4. The completely charged device allows approx.50 ten-second cures (total operating
time approximately 5 minutes). Thus, under most conditions of use, the device will
normally need recharging at the end of each day.
OPERATION
1. Attach the LED Tip
to the handpiece
.
The device is now ready for operation.
2.
Protect LED Tip from contamination by applying a disposable, single patient use
sleeve (DENTSPLY Disposa-Shield).
3.
Attach the eye protecting shield to the tip or use suitable, light filtering safety
glasses.
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 allows optimal curing
of the restoration. The tip should be positioned AS CLOSELY AS POSSIBLE TO THE
RESTORATION and may even touch the restoration as the LED Tip is protected by
the Disposa-Shield sleeve.
