WARNINGS:
Excessive heating time during thermoforming will cause plastic to over sag and potential for injury to operator.
Improper thermoforming of the plastic appliance may cause the appliance to crack/break, resulting in sharp edges, loose pieces and possible aspiration of
pieces.
Report serious incidents that have occurred in relation to the device to device manufacturer and the Competent Authority in Member State of residence,
or other applicable regulatory agency.
PRECAUTIONS:
Patients with a history of allergic reactions to plastics should not use this product.
Do not reuse plastic sheet. Once thermoformed it cannot be reused.

Store plastic sheets in a cool, dry place.
ADVERSE REACTIONS:
Allergic reactions.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS:
Thermoforming Instructions (for complete instructions, refer to thermoforming equipment manual):
1.
All models should be trimmed to ¾” high. Full arch models should have the palate trimmed away.
2.
Spray the model with Trim-Rite® Release Agent to prevent the material from sticking to the model.
3.
Place the plastic into the frame of the machine soft side up and the model on the base plate.
4.
Scan/Enter the code per thermo-forming machine used. Swing the heating element over the plastic and press the appropriate start button.
5.
Move the heating element away from the plastic when the heating and cooling time expires.
6.
Drufomat: hold the element away and press the button on the side to engage the pressure chamber. Biostar: flip the heated plastic over the model.
7.
After the cooling stage, release the pressure per thermo-forming machine used.
8.
Immediately spray the plastic encased model with Essix Freeze Spray® Coolant. This is an essential step. Not only does it cool the plastic prohibiting
further thinning, but it “shrinks” the material around the cast, realizing a tighter fit.
9.
Remove the formed tray from the frame of the machine..
10.
Trim and finish appliance as desired.

NOTE
: The heating times below should be used as a reference as heating times may vary depending upon machine usage. If plastic does not adapt to
model, add heating time until adaptation occurs. If plastic “folds” when thermoformed, reduce heating time until material does not fold.
