Product Description

Elipar FreeLight 2, manufactured by 3M ESPE, is a high-
performance light source for intraoral polymerization of
dental material. It consists of a charging station and a
wireless handpiece powered by a rechargeable battery.
The unit is designed for use on a table and cannot be
wall-mounted.
The light source is a high-performance light-emitting
diode (LED). In contrast to halogen lights, the emitted
light specifically covers the light wavelength between
430 and 480 nm, the relevant range e.g. for camphor
quinone-containing products.
Optimal matching of the wavelength to the intended
use allows for polymerization performance comparable
to that of halogen lights with lower light intensity. The
polymerization performance is so high that exposure
times can be reduced by 50% (with a typical light
intensity between 600 and 800 mW/cm
to a conventional halogen lamp.
Exposure mode options:
• "Standard", providing full light intensity for the entire
exposure period.
• "Exponential", providing light increasing to full intensity
over the course of 5 sec, for gentle initiation of
polymerization in order to reduce shrinkage tension,
esp. associated with large cavities.
Possible exposure times:
• 5, 10, 15 or 20 sec, if the "Standard" setting is chosen.
• If the "Exponential" setting is chosen, the light
intensity will first reach the maximum level 5 sec after
pressing the Start button; the selected exposure time
will then be carried out.
The charger is equipped with an integral light intensity
testing area.
The device is shipped with a turbo light guide with an
8 mm diameter light exit. It is not permissible to use the
light guides of other units.
A maxi fiber rod with 13 mm diameter for larger surfaces,
e.g. for fissure sealing, and a proxi fiber rod with a
pinpoint light exit, e.g. for approximal spaces, are
available as accessories. Both rods may only be used
specifically for the indications listed and not for standard
polymerization of fillings, as adequate curing cannot be
guaranteed.
The handpiece is equipped with a "power-down" function
to minimize the unit's energy consumption. The hand-
piece switches to "power-down" mode once it is placed
in the charger or if left unused for approx.10 min outside
the charger.
In stand-by mode, the charger consumes maximally
0.75 W. This corresponds to the value recommended by
the European Commission pursuant to the "Code of
Conduct" for stand-by operation (from 2003).
Do not discard these Instructions for the duration of
product use.
