VI. CLINICAL APPLICATION
Always test restorative materials with this LED
light by using the supplied test block. Failure to
do so may result in uncured material.
WARNING
• Polymerization: Determine the exposure time in accordance
with the dental material manufacturer's instructions using
the test block provided . If the exposure time exceeds 20 sec,
COLTENE recommends including a cooldown time before
initiating another cycle . Failure to do so increases the risk of
tissue burns and inadvertent heating of the dental pulp .
• Remove the charged handpiece from the charger base; position
the light shield; slide the single use barrier sleeve over the light;
attach the light shield (Fig. 5, Fig. 6); direct the tip of the light
lens as close to the restorative material as possible without
touching .
• Activate Coltolux® LED with a momentary push of the button .
Avoid contact with un-polymerized restorative material,
glass ionomer, liquid resin or bonding agent because direct
contact will cause these materials to adhere to the light lens .
This will block the light transmission and result in improper
polymerization .
• To safely terminate procedure, press and release activation
button .
