2.5 Contraindications
Materials, the polymerization of which is
activated outside the wavelength range of
385 – 515 nm (no materials known to date).
If you are not sure about certain products,
please ask the manufacturer of the
corresponding material.
Do not charge or use the appliance near
flammable or combustible substances.
Never use without light guide.
The use of a light guide other than the one
provided in the delivery form is not
admissable.
The use of this device close to other
equipment or stacked with it should be
avoided because the correct function can be
disrupted. If such use is unavoidable, the
devices need to be monitored and checked
for correct function.
Portable and mobile high-frequency
communication devices may interfere with
medical equipment. The use of mobile
phones during operation is not allowed.
Caution – The use of controls or adjustment
devices or performing procedures other than
those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
Never use without eye protection for patients
and users.
If the light emission window cannot be
optimally placed in relation to the composite
restoration, the restoration must be
polymerized using a conventional method. If
soft tissue exposure to the curing light cannot
be avoided, the 3sCure program must not be
used, as exposure may result in damage of
the soft tissues.

Warning
This unit should not be used near flammable
anaesthetics or mixtures of flammable
anaesthetics with air, oxygen or nitric oxide.
Usage and liability
– Bluephase PowerCure must only be employed for the
intended use. Any other uses are contraindicated. Do
not touch defective, open devices. Liability cannot be
accepted for damage resulting from misuse or failure
to observe the Instructions for Use.
– The user is responsible for testing Bluephase
PowerCure for its use and suitability for the intended
purposes. This is particularly important if other
equipment is used in the immediate vicinity of the
curing light at the same time.
– Use only original spare parts and accessories from
Ivoclar Vivadent. The manufacturer does not accept
any liability for damage resulting from the use of other
spare parts or accessories.
– The light guide is an applied part and may warm up to
a maximum of 45 °C (113 °F) at the interface to the
handpiece during operation.
Operating voltage
Before switching on, make sure that
a) the voltage indicated on the rating plate complies with
the local power supply and
b) the unit has acquired the ambient temperature.
Do not touch the exposed contacts of the connection
plug (power pack). If the battery or power pack are used
separately (i.e. during start-up), contact with patients or
third parties must be prevented.
Assumption of impaired safety
If it has to be assumed that safe operation is no longer
possible, the power must be disconnected and the
battery removed to avoid accidental operation. This may
be the case, for example, if the device is visibly damaged
or no longer works correctly. A complete disconnection
from the power supply is only ensured when the power
cord is disconnected from the power source. Ensure that
the device can be quickly and easily disconnected at any
time.
