Pen-Style, High-Power LED Curing Light The SmartLite™ PS LED curing light is a pen-style, high-power output, cordless light polymerisation device for use in dentistry. SmartLite PS LED curing light is characterised by: • Small size and low weight • Cordless operation • Powerful 5-watt light emitting diode (LED) of latest technology, placed at tip head, acting directly on the material to be cured • Polymerisation area of 8.0 mm in diameter • Freely adjustable LED Tip, rotating by 360° • Interchangeable tip providing a renewable light source • 15° angulation of light probe for optimum access • Standard 10-second curing cycle • Noiseless and air emission free • Rechargeable battery with long life Before installing this unit, read the operating instructions carefully. Always adhere strictly to these operating instructions. SmartLite PS LED curing light – Operation at a glance 1.1
ON/OFF key Activates device and starts or disrupts the 10-second curing cycle.
1.2
Battery light Continuously green (only indicated when SmartLite PS handpiece is inserted into the charger): SmartLite PS unit is fully re-charged and ready for operation Flashing green (only indicated when SmartLite PS handpiece is inserted into the charger): SmartLite PS unit is still being re-charged. Fast flashing red: 2 minutes curing time left – SmartLite PS device needs re-charging. Slowly flashing red: Battery is fully discharged (no curing time left) and needs re-charging.
INDICATIONS Intra-oral light curing of direct restorative materials, adhesives, and sealants which cure at a wavelength of 450 - 490 nm.

CONTRAINDICATIONS Use for indirect restorations: The SmartLite PS LED curing light should not be used for the curing of luting cements for indirect restorations (e.g. ceramic inlays), as no data exist to support the use of SmartLite PS with indirect restorations. Use in patients prone to photobiological reactions: Do not use the SmartLite PS LED curing light on patients with a history of photobiological reactions (including patients with Urticaria solaris or erythropoietic protoporphyrie) or those currently undergoing treatment with photosensitising pharmaceuticals. WARNINGS The SmartLite PS LED curing light should not be used as a tissue retractor, as this may damage the connection between LED tip and handpiece. Do not use a damaged device, e.g. if among others the glass cover of the LED Tip is scratched, broken or missing. Do not use for voltages different to the range indicated on the charging unit. Note: To disrupt the power supply, the charging device has to be plugged out. Always unplug the charger before disinfecting. PRECAUTIONS Anyone with a history of retinopathy should consult their eye specialist before operating this unit. Use the SmartLite PS LED curing light extremely carefully and comply with all the necessary safety precautions (including wearing suitable, light filtering safety glasses). Anyone who has had a cataract operation may be especially sensitive to light and should be advised against undergoing treatment with a SmartLite PS LED curing light unless adequate safety precautions are taken such as wearing suitable, light filtering safety glasses. Do not use a device which has not been properly disinfected (see Chapter MAINTENANCE). Protect LED Tip from contamination by applying a disposable, single patient use sleeve (DENTSPLY Disposa-Shield®). Never aim the light directly at unprotected soft tissues, as this may cause injury or irritation. Do not aim the light at eyes. Light reflected from the tooth surface may also injure eyes. Use the protective shield supplied with the unit or suitable, light filtering safety glasses. If time intervals between curing cycles are too short, this will result in heat build-up of the LED tip which may cause discomfort or tissue irritation. For continuous operation, wait for at least 30 seconds between curing cycles. Limit the action of the light to the area being treated. INSTALLATION AND CHARGING 1. Plug in charging unit. 2. Insert the handpiece 1 into the charging unit 3 . The battery light will be flashing green, indicating ongoing charging of the battery. 3. Charge the device for at least 10 hours prior to first use. Complete charge of the curing light is indicated by a continuously green light.

4. The completely charged device allows approx.150 ten-second cures (total operating time approximately 25 minutes). Thus, under most conditions of use, the device will normally need recharging at the end of each practice day. OPERATION 1. Attach the LED Tip 2 to the handpiece 1 . The device is now ready for operation. 2. Protect LED Tip from contamination by applying a disposable, single patient use sleeve (DENTSPLY Disposa-Shield). 3. Attach the eye protecting shield to the tip or use suitable, light filtering safety glasses. 4. Adjust the LED Tip: The LED Tip rotates by 360°, thus the position of light emission may be freely adjusted. The tip must be adjusted to an angle that most optimal curing of the restoration is possible. The tip must not touch the restoration material but should be positioned AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE RESTORATION. 5. Polymerisation: Shortly press the ON/OFF key 1.1 . The start of the 10-second curing cycle is indicated by an acoustic signal. The end of 10-second curing cycle is likewise indicated by an acoustic signal. For detailed information on curing times for DENTSPLY light cured products, please see the Curing Guide supplied. For products other than those from DENTSPLY, please refer to the curing times given by the respective manufacturer. For continuous operation, wait for at least 30 seconds between curing cycles. If time intervals between curing cycles are too short, this will result in heat build-up of the LED tip which may cause discomfort or tissue irritation. MAINTENANCE 1. Prevention of cross infection, cleaning, disinfection and storage The use of the sleeve is an additional precautionary measure against contamination and does not substitute disinfection of the device. After use, remove sleeve. Clean and disinfect LED Tip and handpiece with commercial alcohol based surface disinfecting solution (Dürr FD 322, Henkel Incidin Liquid, S&M Mikrozid Liquid, B. Braun Meliseptol rapid). Keep other solvents or flammable liquids as well as intense sources of heat away from the unit as they may damage its plastic housing. Always safeguard charger, handpiece and LED Tip against moisture as this may cause electrical short-circuit or dangerous malfunction. 2. Light output control Make sure that the LED aperture is clean and scratch-free, otherwise light output will be reduced and may be insufficient for proper curing of the material. Control of light efficiency is recommended (e.g. by using CureRite™ light intensity testing device). The light intensity measured by CureRite testing device should exceed 730 mW/cm2. 3. Battery maintenance The battery needs approximately 10 hours to be fully re-charged. During the battery’s being re-charged, the battery light is flashing green. Upon complete recharging, the battery light remains continuously green. Fully charged, the battery has a capacity of approximately 150 ten-second cures (approximately 25 minutes operating time). Therefore, under most conditions of use, the device only needs to be recharged over night. When the battery light flashes red (fast), the battery needs to be recharged. Another 2 minutes curing time is then left for completion of the treatment. Light output is not reduced during this period. After these 2 minutes, the device switches off automatically and continues to flash red (slowly) indicating the need to recharge.

The maximum capacity of the rechargeable battery will be reached after initial charging cycles. To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable battery, discharge the device by regular use at least every 6 months and recharge the battery immediately thereafter. If the SmartLite PS LED curing light is not used during an extended period (e.g. holidays) leave the handpiece in the operable charger. Otherwise the batteries may become deeply discharged, which may cause irreversible damage to the battery. 4. High voltages are present inside the charger. Do not open charger or the handpiece. Use only under dry conditions. Do not use if the charger is wet. Store dry. Only authorised technicians should repair the SmartLite PS LED Tip, handpiece or charger.
