Ivoclar Vivadent Bluephase 20i v.5 - Manual (Page 15)

For reasons of hygiene, it is recommended to use a
disposable protective sleeve for each patient. Contaminated
surfaces of the device and anti-glare cones must be disin-
fected (e.g. FD333, FD366/Dürr Dental, Incidin Liquid/Eco-
lab) and the light probe must be sterilized before each use,
unless disposable protective sleeves are used. Make sure
that no liquids or other foreign substances enter the hand-
piece, charging base and particularly the power pack during
cleaning (risk of electrical shock). Disconnect the charging
base from the power source when cleaning it.
Housing
Wipe the handpiece and handpiece holder with a custom-
ary aldehyde-free disinfecting solution. Do not clean with
highly aggressive disinfecting solutions (e.g. solutions based
on orange oil or with an ethanol content of more than 40%),
solvents (e.g. acetone), or pointed instruments, which may
damage or scratch the plastic. Clean dirty plastic parts with
a soap solution.
Light probes
Clean the light probe with a disinfectant and a soft cloth.
Carefully remove any possible material residue, such as
composite material, from the light probe with a fingernail
or a plastic spatula, for instance. Do not use sharp or pointed
instruments, since they may scratch the surface of the light
probe and thus reduce light transmission. Light probes and
anti-glare cones may be autoclaved (e.g. 121 °C, 2 bar,
15 minutes). Check light probes for damage. If a light probe
is held against a light source and certain segments appear
black, then the glass fibres are broken. In this case, the light
probe has to be replaced with a new one.
Battery contacts
For good conductivity at all times, keep the battery contacts
free from possible contamination (e.g. composite residue).
For this purpose, clean the affected contacts regularly with
disinfectant wipes (after each patient).
Disposal
The apparatus must not be disposed of in normal domestic
waste. Please visit your local Ivoclar Vivadent website for
detailed information about the disposal of the unit. Dispose
of unserviceable batteries and polymerization lights accord-
ing to the corresponding legal requirements in your country.
Batteries must not be incinerated.
