Operation; Selecting The Curing Program And The Curing Time - Ivoclar Vivadent bluephase Instrucciones De Uso

Operation

Disinfect or autoclave contaminated surfaces of the cur-
ing light, as well as light probes, and anti-glare cones
before each use. Furthermore, make sure that the stipu-
lated light intensity permits adequate polymerization. For
that purpose, check the light probe for contamination
and damage, as well as the light intensity at regular
intervals (e.g. with the Ivoclar Vivadent radiometer "blue-
phase meter").
Selecting the curing program and time
The curing program and the curing time can be individu-
ally set. bluephase is equipped with the following 3 cur-
ing programs for the different indications. The desired
curing program is selected with the program selection
buttons. The display changes accordingly (see Indicators
on the handpiece).

Application
Consistently high light intensity for
the polymerization of restorative
2
and cementation materials for
direct and indirect restorations.
t [s]
Reduced light intensity with
reduced heat development for the
polymerization of adhesives, lin-
2
ers, and restorative materials in
areas near the pulp when restor-
ing Class V cavities
t [s]
Step-by-step increase of the light
intensity with reduced shrinkage
stress and reduced heat develop-
2 ment for the polymerization of
restorative materials

Upon the first start-up, the following settings have been
preset:
– HIGH (High Power): 10 seconds
– LOW (Low Power): 10 seconds
– SOFT (Soft start): 15 seconds
The intended curing time is selected using the time
selection buttons. Users may choose between 5, 10, 15,
20 and 30 seconds.
