Maintenance and Care

The Elipar DeepCure-S unit is maintenance-free.
No periodic maintenance is required. See the information
contained in this chapter to secure problem-free opera-
tion.

Inserting/Removing the Battery

Never place the handpiece in the charger without the
battery inserted in the handpiece!
Use 3M batteries only! The use of other manu facturer
batteries or non-rechargeable batteries/primary batteries
is a potential hazard and may damage the unit.
Remove the battery from the handpiece by turning
it counter-clockwise as shown by the direction of the
arrow on the underside of the handpiece.
Insert the (new) battery into the handpiece and turn it
clockwise until the seal is firmly pressed against the
metal housing.
Place the handpiece in the charger for 1.5 hours
in order to fully charge the new battery for the first time.
- The LED showing the operating status on the char-
ger flashes green; see also "Operating Status Dis-
play of the Charger".

Handpiece/Battery Care

Use only the 3M charger which is provided with the
unit; failure to do so could lead to damage to the bat-
tery!
Do not immerse the battery in water or incinerate!
Please also observe the chapter on "Safety".

Reprocessing the Light Guide

The light guide is not sterile when delivered and must be
reprocessed before being used for the first time and after
each patient use.
Solution
Clean the light guide and
the protecting glass in the
light guide mounting hole
(please refer to "Cleaning
the Light Guide").
Check to see that the
correct light guide has
been attached.
The light guide is not
designed for use with the
Elipar DeepCure-S.
Follow manufacturer's instructions for preparation, tem-
peratures, contact time and rinsing off the cleaning
2
disinfecting solution exactly.
An enzymatic detergent should be used as the cleaning
solution.
Material Resistance
Make sure that the cleaning and disinfectant agents you
have chosen do not contain any of the following materials:
– Organic, mineral, and oxidizing acids (minimum ac-
ceptable pH value 5.5)
– The pH value of the cleaning and disinfecting solution
should be between pH 7 and 11
– Oxidation agents (e.g., hydrogen peroxide)
– Halogens (chlorine, iodine, bromide)
– Aromatic/halogenized hydrocarbons
Observe the manufacturer's information about the clean-
ing and disinfecting agents.
The light guide must not be exposed to temperatures
higher than 135 °C (275 °F).
The light guide has been tested for up to 500 sterilization
cycles.
Limitations on Reprocessing
This medical device is safe to use if it is reprocessed
according to these instructions and no visible damage is
seen.
Inspect the device carefully before each use and discard
if there is any damage.
Point of use / Pre-Treatment
The contaminated light guide must be placed in an
approved, sealed container during transport from the
point of use to the reprocessing area.
The pre-treatment must be carried out before either
automatic or manual cleaning and disinfecting. Immedi-
ately after using (within a maximum of 2 hours), remove
gross contaminations from the light guide.
For this, rinse the light guide thoroughly under running
water (drinking water quality as a minimum) for at least
10 seconds.
Use a soft brush or a soft cloth to manually remove
any remaining contamination. Remove polymerized com-
posite with alcohol; a plastic spatula may help in remov-
ing the material. Do not use any sharp or pointed tools to
protect the surface of the light guide from scratching.
Cleaning and Thermal Disinfecting (Automated
Washer-Disinfectors / CDD (Cleaning and Disinfec-
tion Device))
After the light guide has been pre-treated, place it in
the wire or sieve basket of the washer-disinfector.
Make sure that the devices do not touch one another
in the washer-disinfector.
