Safety Instructions
PLEASE NOTE!
Prior to installation and start-up of the device, please
read these instructions carefully.
As with all technical devices, the proper function and
safe operation of this device depend on the user's
compliance with the standard safety procedures as well
as the specific safety recommendations presented in
these Operating Instructions.
1. Use of the device is restricted to trained personnel in
Page
accordance with the instructions below. The manu-
1
facturer assumes no liability for any damage arising
from any other or improper use of this device.
2
2. The charger must be accessible at all times. Do not
3
use the charger for any use other than the charging
of the Elipar
3
handpiece from the mains by unplugging the charger
3
from the electrical outlet.
3
Treating patients using the handpiece while it is still
3
connected to the charger is prohibited for safety
4
reasons. Light-curing is possible only if the charger
4
has been disconnected.
4
3. Use only the charger (AC adapter plug) which is
4
provided with the device. The use of any other
4
charger can result in damage to the battery.
4
4. CAUTION. Do not stare at source. May be harmful
4
to the eyes. Restrict exposure to the area of the
4
oral cavity in which clinical treatment is intended.
5
Protect patient and user from reflection and intensive
scattered light by taking the appropriate precautions,
5
e.g., glare shields, goggles, or coverings.
5
5. CAUTION! As is the case for all high-intensity light-
6
curing devices, the high light intensity is accompanied
by heat generation on the exposed surface. This heat
6
can result in irreversible damage if there is longer
6
exposure in the proximity of the pulp or soft tissue.
6
The exposure times given in the manufacturer's
7
instructions must be observed exactly to avoid any
7
such damage.
7
Uninterrupted exposure times of the same tooth
surface in excess of 20 seconds and direct contact
8
with oral mucosa or skin must be strictly avoided.
8
Scientists working in this field are in agreement
8
that the irritation caused by heat generated during
9
light curing can be minimized by taking two simple
precautions:
9
• Polymerization with external cooling from an air flow
• Polymerization at intermittent intervals
9
(e.g., 2 exposures lasting 10 seconds each instead
of 1 exposure lasting 20 seconds).

6. Elipar DeepCure-L may be operated only with the
10
supplied light guide or original 3M ESPE Elipar
