NOTE: Make sure the light guide is pushed all the way in until it stops. Also, it is important to check that the lamp
access plate is on correctly if it has been removed.
Device Description and Intended Use
The Sapphire Plus system consists of a xenon plasma arc light source (lamp), power supply and a light guide
with a pistol-type handpiece with user interface controls.
The Sapphire Plus system is a source of illumination for curing dental restorative materials and is a source of
illumination for tooth whitening. Broad spectrum visible light emissions are filtered to provide peak performance
for initiating rapid polymerization of photo-initiated dental restoratives or for tooth whitening. There are separate
tips for curing/whitening that effectively utilize the visible light emissions for their indicated uses.
Once the light guide is firmly plugged into the Sapphire Light Source Unit’s Light Guide Port, the xenon arc
lamp’s emissions can be accessed by the curing/whitening. When either the light guide is inserted, the
Sapphire Plus’ microprocessor recognizes that they have been inserted, and that the xenon arc lamp can
be used when needed.
Control panels for curing/bleaching are present. The user interfaces offer a wide range of timing increments for
curing or bleaching. Bright display windows and LEDs provide visual status indications and clear audio signals
are present to further ensure setting’s confirmation.
