following:
• Improper repair or maintenance service performed by
unauthorized personnel or facilities.
• Use of any unauthorized replacement parts or accessories.
WARNING
• S.P.E.C. 3
®
LED Curing Light produces
high-output light energy. Do not look
directly at the light emitted from this
curing light. Retinal damage may ocurr.
• Patient, clinician and assistants should wear
UV orange eye protection when this device
is in use. Retinal damage may occur.
CAUTION
• After use, place the handpiece on the
charger base securely. Failure to properly
secure the handpiece in the charger base
may result in an incomplete battery charge.
• Light output from this light may be
signicantly increased compared to other
polymerization devices; therefore when
using this device determine the curing time
of your material using the enclosed test
block.
• Do not drop the handpiece or light guide.
Device damage may occur.
• Avoid electromagnetic radiation generated
from other electrical appliances, as they
may cause the product to malfunction.
WARNING
• Take caution when using this product in the
presence of a ammable anesthetic mixture or
an oxidizer like oxygen or nitrous oxide. This
device may act as an ignition source.
• DO NOT expose soft oral tissues at close
proximity or burns may occur. Maintain a safe
distance between the light guide tip and the
soft tissue.
• If using the S.P.E.C. 3
®
LED Curing Light in
the Standard Mode and in close proximity of
the gingival tissue, DO NOT expose tissue for
more than 5 seconds or minor burns may oc-
cur. If longer curing time is required, consider
a dual-cure product (composite or adhesive).
Irradiance output in High Power Mode is 1600
mW/cm².
• In 3K Mode, DO NOT expose soft tissue for
more than 2 seconds or burns may occur. If
a longer cure is needed, consider a dual cure
product (composite or adhesive). Irradiance
output in 3K mode is 3000mW/cm
2.
• Barrier sleeves are single patient use only.
Barrier sleeve must be used to prevent patient
cross contamination.
• Persons having a history of photosensitizing
drugs should not be exposed to light from
this light.
• Adjust curing techniques in accordance with
the increased energy. Pulpal and soft tissue
damage may occur if excessive energy is
applied to a restoration.
Failure to comply with these warnings may
result in injury to personnel.
