Introduction; Indications; Contraindications; Warnings - DENTSPLY Smartlite iQ Manual De Funcionamiento E Instrucciones De Uso

INTRODUCTION

The SmartLite IQ unit utilizes light emitting diode (LED) technology
for the polymerization of light cured materials in the 450 to 475 nm
visible light range.

INDICATIONS

The SmartLite ™ IQ ™ unit has been designed for curing
camphorquinone-based visible light cured (VLC) materials.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Persons who have a medical history indicating photobiologic
reactions (including persons with solar urticaria or erythropoietic
protoporphyria) or who are using photosensitizing drugs should
not be exposed to light from the LED.

WARNINGS

1. When curing, position the light over the polymerizable material
and avoid extraneous contact with soft tissue for prolonged
periods. Prolonged continuous exposure to soft tissue can
result in irritation or possible injury.
2. Do not attempt to change the Curing LED or alter the unit in any
way.
3. Always unplug the base/charger before disinfecting.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. This product is intended to be used only as specifically outlined
in these Directions for Use. Any use of this product inconsistent
with the Directions for Use is at the discretion and is the sole
responsibility of the practitioner.
2. DO NOT look directly at the light emitted from the curing probe.
As with any bright light source, staring directly at the source
may cause temporary effects such as after-image. Use provided
light shield to decrease light exposure and after-image.
3. It is recommended that all curing light users and patients
employ suitable eye protection during operation of the
SmartLite IQ unit.
4. Persons who have had surgery for eye cataracts are especially
sensitive to light and generally should not use or be exposed to
the SmartLite IQ unit unless they employ suitable protective
measures. These measures should include the use of spectacles
that filter out blue-violet and ultraviolet light.
5. Safety of the SmartLite IQ unit has not been established in
people who have been fitted with an implanted heart pacemaker
and have been cautioned against the use of small electrical
appliances (such as electric shavers, hair dryers, etc.). In these
cases we recommend that the SmartLite IQ unit not be used.
6. Curing Probes must be maintained in a clean condition. A
contaminated probe will reduce the effectiveness of the unit by
reducing the amount of transmitted light. Refer to cleaning
instructions and radiometer sections.
7. DO NOT IMMERSE UNIT IN WATER OR DISINFECTANT. Wipe,
do not spray solution onto plastic parts. Prevent liquids from
entering openings on unit, especially the socket for the
fiberoptic probe. Always wipe down the light with the fiberoptic
probe installed.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

1. Prolonged unfiltered exposure to the light source may cause
damage to the eye.
2. Prolonged contact with soft tissue may cause injury or irritation
to the tissue.
