1.4 Applying an Infection Control Shield
It is important to properly clean and disinfect Easyshade prior to patient use and to use Easyshade Infection
Control Shields to prevent patient cross-contamination. The Infection Control Shields also must be used to
protect the optics in the probe tip from damage and provide a non-slip surface when contacting the tooth to help
assure accurate shade determination results.
These non-sterile shields are made of polyurethane, are non-allergenic, and are for single patient use only. A
box of 40 shields is shipped with Easyshade. Infection Control Shields may be re-ordered from VITA in
quantities of 4 boxes of 40 shields (VITA Order No. D39003). It is recommended that you wear gloves while
applying the Infection Control Shield.
1. Remove a Shield from the package and hold the shield at
the top (the wide end).
2. Peel the corner of the cover film (as shown) from the
pocket of the Infection Control Shield. To make this
process easier, bend the Infection Control Shield slightly
away from the corner that you are beginning to peel.
3. Continue to peel the cover film completely off of the
Infection Control Shield pocket.
