PRECAUTION, RESTRICTION AND WARNING
Precautions and warnings "during the use" of the equipment
- The equipment must only be operated by technicians duly qualified and trained (Dental
Surgeons and Capacitated Professionals)
- In case of a casual maintenance, only use the services of a Gnatus' Authorized Technical
Assistance.
- Do not submit the plastic parts to contact with chemical substances used in the dental
treatments routine Such as: acids, mercury, acrylic liquids, amalgams, etc.
- Avoid that the light conductor's terminal touch the resin to be polymerized.
- When using the photopolymerizers, check if the outlet of the conductor has no residues
that can occlude the light beam.
- Use appropriated techniques for minimizing the effects of the contraction of the photo
polymerized material and also of the temperature on the applied region; these techniques
consist of a proportional detachment from the expected effect, which means that detaching
the tip from the activated region, the power and the temperature tends to diminish.
Gnatus will not be responsible for:
- Different use of the equipment from the one it was designed for.
- Damage caused to the equipment, to the professional and/or to the patient because
of an incorrect installation and erroneous maintenance procedures, different from those
described in these Operation instructions which follow the equipment or by the incorrect
operation of the same.
Precautions and warnings "after" the use of the equipment
- Turn the equipment off while in not in use for a long time.
- Carry out the cleaning and disinfection after the use of the equipment, including in the
first use.
- Do not change any part of the equipment. Do not disconnect the cable or other
connections unnecessarily.
- The batteries should not be stored inside the equipment if it becomes unused for some
time. When it' is not using the equipment, we advise you to remove the batteries, because
they are corrosive and can, throughout time, release the acid and cause damage to it.
- When observing the presence of irremovable stains, cracks or fissures on the light
conductor and ocular protection, provides the replacement of the damaged components.
Precautions and warnings during "cleaning and disinfection" of
the equipment
- When disinfecting the handpiece, remove the light conductor; use neutral soap or alcohol
70% vol. Never use povidone iodine, glutaraldehyde or chlorinated products, which with time can
produce superficial attacks over the instrument's body. Never soak the instrument in disinfection
baths.
- The conductor must be clean and sterilized at 135ºC before being used in the next patient.
- Before cleaning the equipment, disconnect it from the electricity.
- Avoid spilling water or other liquids inside the equipment, what might cause short circuits.
