When the wand and its tip are cleaned and disinfected, slide a barrier sheath over the tip
protector, return the wand to its holster and plug the connector back into the device. Make
sure the red dot on the connector aligns with the corresponding mark on the socket.

Pre-Use Check
After disinfection, and before using the Lava C.O.S. to scan a patient, we recommend that a
dental professional, whether dentist, hygienist or assistant, perform a visual check of the Lava
C.O.S.
When performing a visual inspection, look for cracks in the wand or cord, kinks in the cord,
discoloration, corrosion, or damage of any kind. Check to make sure the wand and its tip and
lens are clean.
Wireless Network Connection
The Lava C.O.S. comes with a wireless access point that a 3M ESPE representative will
install at the dentist office.
Many dentist locations will have an existing intranet network with a router that is either store-
bought or supplied by the location’s ISP. Before installation, 3M ESPE will conduct a site
survey to determine whether the location’s network meets our requirements. If it does, we
will connect the access point device to that router using a standard networking cable.
If the existing network at the location does not meet 3M ESPE requirements, modifications to
that network must be made before installation can take place.
