8. Should you have any reason to suspect the safety of
the unit to be compromised, the unit must be taken
out of operation and labeled accordingly to prevent
third parties from inadvertently using a possibly
defective unit. Safety may be compromised, e.g. if
the unit malfunctions or is noticeably damaged.
9. Solvents, flammable liquids, and powerful heat
sources must not be kept in the vicinity of the unit
as exposure to one of these factors may damage
the plastic housing of the unit.
10. Do not allow cleaning agents to enter the unit as
this may short-circuit the unit or cause potentially
dangerous malfunction.
11. Only factory-authorized technicians are authorized
to open the housing of the unit and carry out any
repairs.
12. Elipar FreeLight must not be used in patients, or by
users, with heart pacemaker implants who have
been advised to be cautious regards their exposure
to small electrical devices.
13. Do not use Elipar FreeLight in patients with a history
of photobiological reactions (including individuals

with urticaria solaris or erythropoetic protoporphyria)
or who are currently on photo-sensitizing medica-
tion (including 8-methoxypsoralen or dimethyl-
chlorotetracycline).
14. Individuals with a history of cataract surgery may be
particularly sensitive to the exposure to light and
should be discouraged from Elipar FreeLight treat-
ment unless adequate safety measures, such as the
use of protective goggles to remove blue light, are
undertaken.
15. Individuals with a history of retinal disease should
seek advice from their ophthalmologist prior to
operating the unit. In operating the Elipar FreeLight
unit, this group of individuals must take extreme
care and comply with any and all safety precautions
(including the use of suitable light-filtering safety
goggles).
16. Prior to each use of the device ensure that the
emitted light intensity is sufficient to safely guarantee
polymerization. Use the built-in light testing area for
this purpose.
