Light Intensity - Ivoclar Vivadent BluephaseN M Instrucciones De Uso

Start
The light is switched on by means of the start button.
During curing a signal beep sounds every 10 seconds. If
desired, the light can be switched off before the set
curing time has elapsed by pressing the start button
again.

Light intensity

The light intensity is maintained at a consistent level
during operation. The light intensity is calibrated to
800 mW/cm ± 10% in conjunction with the 10 mm light
2
probe supplied with the curing light.
If another light probe than the one supplied is used, the
indicated light intensity may be directly affected.
In a light probe with parallel walls (10 mm), the diameter
of the light entry and the diameter of the light emission
window are the same. When using focussing light probes
(10>8 m light probe, Pin-Point light probe 6>2 mm), the
diameter of the light entry is larger than that of the light
emission window. The incident blue light is thus bundled
to a smaller area. In this way, the emitted light intensity
is increased.
Pin-Point light probes are suitable for spot-on polymeri-
zation, e.g. to fix veneers before the removal of excess.
For complete polymerization, the light probe must be
changed.

Measuring the light intensity
The light intensity of the new LED polymerization light
and the enclosed 10 mm light probe can be checked by
means of e.g. a Bluephase Meter.
If the measured value does not correspond with the
expected light intensity, proceed as follows:
– Clean the light sensor of the radiometer, if dirty.
– Remove the light probe and clean the light emission
window of the handpiece with a cotton bud dipped in
alcohol.
– Clean light probe, if dirty (see Maintenance and
Cleaning).
– Replace a damaged light probe with a new one.
If these measures do not improve the results, please
