Operation - Ultradent VALO Cordless Handbuch

• DO NOT wipe down the curing light with caustic or abrasive cleaners, autoclave, or immerse in any kind of ultrasonic bath, disinfectant, cleaning solution, or liquid. Failure to follow
included processing instructions may render curing light inoperable.
• To avoid damaging the equipment, DO NOT insert fingers, instruments, or other objects into the battery compartment of the curing light.
• To avoid damaging the equipment, DO NOT attempt to clean the gold contacts, or any part of the battery compartment. Call Ultradent Customer Service if there is a concern.
• To prevent the risk of cross-contamination, barrier sleeves are single patient use.
• To reduce the risk of corrosion, remove barrier sleeve after use.
• To reduce the risk of under-cured resins, do not use curing light if lens is damaged.
4. Stepwise Instructions
Preparation
1. Charge batteries before using the curing light (See section Battery Maintenance).
2. Place the curing light into a standard dental unit mounting bracket or accessory mounting bracket until ready for use.
3. Prior to each use, place a new barrier sleeve over the curing light.
Installing Hygienic Barrier Sleeves:
The hygienic barrier sleeve is custom fitted to the curing light and keeps the surface of the curing light clean. The barrier sleeve helps prevent cross contamination, helps keep dental
composite material from adhering to the surface of the lens and curing light, and prevents discoloration and corrosion from cleaning solutions.
Note:
• Using the hygienic barrier sleeve will reduce the light output by 5-10%. Due to the high output power of the curing light, curing has been shown to be substantially equivalent.
• The curing light must be cleaned and sanitized with appropriate cleaning and/or sanitizing agents after each patient. See section titled Processing.
VALO Cordless Light Shield:
The VALO Cordless Light Shield is oval-shaped, can be rotated for maximum use, and can be used with a transparent barrier sleeve.
Use
1. Each power mode is used for the curing of dental materials with photo initiators. See Quick Mode Guide for recommended curing times.
NOTE: The curing light is programmed to cycle from the Standard Power to the High Power to the Xtra Power mode in sequence. For example, to change from the Standard Power mode
to the Xtra Power mode, it is necessary to cycle into the High-Power mode and then to the Xtra Power mode.
2. The curing light stores the most recently used timing interval and mode, and it will default back to this whenever the modes are changed or if the batteries are removed.

Operation

CURING MODE: Standard Power mode
TIMING INTERVALS: 5, 10, 15, 20 seconds.
• The curing light defaults to this mode when it is INITIALLY powered on. The Mode/Status Light will be green and the four green Timing Lights are illuminated, indicating Standard
Power mode.
• To change timing intervals, quickly press the Time/Mode Button.
• Press the Power Button to cure. To stop curing prior to completion of a timing interval, press the Power Button again.
CURING MODE: High Power mode
TIMING INTERVALS: 1, 2, 3, 4 seconds.
• From Standard Power mode, press and hold the Time/Mode Change Button for 2 seconds and release. The Mode/Status Light will be orange, and the four green Timing Lights will
illuminate and flash, indicating High Power mode.
• To change timing intervals, quickly press the Time/Mode Button.
• Press the Power Button to cure. To stop curing prior to the completion of a timing interval, press the Power Button again.
• To return to Standard Power mode, press and hold the Time/Mode Change Button for 2 seconds and release, this will cycle to Xtra Power mode. Press and hold again for 2 seconds,
and release. The Mode/Status Light will be green and the four green Timing Lights are illuminated, indicating Standard mode.
CURING MODE: Xtra Power mode
TIMING INTERVAL: 3 seconds only (Note: The Xtra Power mode has a 2 second safety delay at the end of each curing cycle to limit heating during consecutive curing. At the end of the
delay, beeping indicates unit is ready for continued use).
• From Standard Power mode, press the Time/Mode Change Button for 2 seconds, release, press and hold again for 2 seconds, and release. The Mode/Status Light will be orange and
flash, and three of the green Timing Lights will illuminate and flash, indicating Xtra Power mode.
• Press the Power Button to cure. To stop curing prior to the completion of a timing interval, press the Power Button again.
• To return to the Standard Power mode, press and hold the Time/Mode Button for 2 seconds and release. The Mode/Status Light will be green and the green Timing Lights are
illuminated, indicating Standard Power mode.
Sleep Mode: The curing light will go into Sleep Mode after 60 seconds of inactivity, as indicated by a slow flashing of the mode/status light. Picking up or touching the unit will wake-up
the curing light and automatically return it to the last setting used. To maximize battery life, leave the curing light undisturbed when not in use.
Cleanup
1. Discard used barrier sleeves in standard waste after each patient.
2. See Processing Section.
