It is particularly recommended to continuously
wear protective glasses suited to the use of
equipment emitting radiation of wavelengths less than
500 nm.
The light radiation produced by this type of equipment
can be dangerous and must never be directed towards
the eyes, even if the practitioner or the patient is
wearing protective glasses suited to the use of
equipment emitting radiation of wavelengths less than
500 nm.
The lighting produced by this lamp must be directed
only at the part to be treated in the oral cavity.
Interference may occur when used on patients
with cardiac pacemakers. This system emits
electromagnetic fields, which means there are some
potential risks. The malfunctioning of implantable
devices such as cardiac pacemakers and ICDs -
implantable cardioverter defibrillator (in general, any
type of active implant) is possible:
- Ask patients and users if they have an implanted
device before using this product. Explain the
circumstances to them

patient's cardiologist or appropriate qualified
healthcare professional prior to performing the
treatment
- Keep this product away from implanted devices
- Make appropriate emergency provisions and take
immediate action if patients become ill
- Symptom including a raised heartbeat, irregular pulse,
and dizziness may signal problems with a cardiac
pacemaker or ICD.
The unit complies with current electromagnetic
compatibility standards, nevertheless, the user shall
ensure that any electromagnetic interference does not
create an additional risk (presence of radiofrequency
emitters, electronic equipment...).
Overexposure to light radiation of the pulp and
soft tissues can result in the release of heat and can
result in injury to the patient.
To use your equipment in the best possible
conditions, it is important to comply with the
specifications given in sections II - WARNINGS
Equipment users and V – ROUTINE USE.
