Dear Customer,
Optimum polymerization is an important
requirement for all light cured materials in
order to consistently produce high quality
restorations. The polymerization light
selected also plays a decisive role in this
respect. Therefore, we would like to thank
you for having purchased bluephase C8.
bluephase C8 is a high-quality medical device
which has been designed according to the
latest standard of science and technology in
compliance with the relevant industry stan-
dards.
These Operating Instructions will help you
safely to start up the device, make full use of
its capabilities and ensure a long service life.
Should you have any further questions,
please do not hesitate to contact us
(see addresses on the back cover).
