3. Warnings and Precautions
Risk Group 2
CAUTION UV emitted from this product. Eye or skin irritation may result from exposure. Use appropriate shielding.
CAUTION Possibly hazardous optical radiation emitted from this product. Do not stare at operating lamp. May be harmful to the eyes.
• DO NOT look directly into the light output. Patient, clinician, and assistants should always wear amber colored UV eye protection when VALO is in use.
• To prevent the risk of electric shock, no modification of this equipment is allowed. Use only the included Ultradent VALO power supply and plug adapters. If these components are
damaged, do not use and call Ultradent Customer Service to order a replacement.
• Portable RF communications equipment may degrade performance if used closer than 30 cm (12 in”).
• Use only authorized accessories, cables, and power supplies to prevent improper operation, increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity (refer to
Electromagnetic Emissions section).
• To prevent the risk of thermal irritation or injury, avoid back-to-back curing cycles and do not expose oral soft tissues at close proximity for more than 10 seconds in any mode. If
longer curing times are required, use multiple shorter curing cycles or use a dual-cure product to avoid heating soft tissue.
• Use caution when treating patients who suffer from adverse photobiological reactions or sensitivities, patients who are undergoing chemotherapy treatment, or patients being
treated with photosensitizing medication.
• This unit may be susceptible to strong magnetic or static electric fields, which could disrupt the programming. If you suspect this has occurred, unplug the unit momentarily and then
re-plug it into the outlet.
• DO NOT wipe down the VALO curing light with caustic or abrasive cleaners, autoclave, or immerse in any kind of ultrasonic bath, disinfectant, cleaning solution, or liquid. Failure to
follow included processing instructions may render device inoperable.
• To help prevent cross contamination and help keep dental composite material from adhering to the surface of the lens and wand body, a barrier sleeve must be used over the VALO
with each use.
• To prevent the risk of cross-contamination, barrier sleeves are single patient use.
• To reduce the risk of corrosion, remove barrier sleeve after use.
• To reduce the risk of under-cured resins, do not use curing light if lens is damaged.
