CAUTION
Avoid glare!
If the probe is shone directly into the eyes, it may cause blinding. This is
not harmful, but can temporarily impair vision.
A
➢ Switch SIROInspect on only when it is in the patient's mouth.
➢ Never shine SIROInspect directly into the eyes.
1. Hold the SIROInspect in the patient's mouth.
2. Align the attachable filter.
3. Operate the rotary switch (A) ("on - off") with your other hand. A 90°
rotation is performed. The direction of the rotation is not important
here.
SIROInspect is switched on.
4. If the rotary switch (A) ("on - off") is operated again, i.e., rotated either
backwards or forwards, the SIROInspect is switched off.

Treatment
Treatment
SIROInspect assists operators when excavating caries in already open
cavities and functions as a visual detection and monitoring tool. It works
by highlighting carious tooth material in fluorescent red and healthy tooth
material in fluorescent green.
SIROInspect cannot assess initial caries.
Use SIROInspect if an initial diagnosis has been made and a decision has
already been made on how the caries is to be treated and if the cavity is
open.
The fluorescent results of SIROInspect provide extensive information,
which can be used for treatment. The final decision as to whether
treatment is performed and how long it should last is made by the user.
Avoid external sources of light to ensure that the distinction between red
and green fluorescence is clearly maintained. Turn the OP lights away or
switch them off while using SIROInspect.
While excavating a deep caries, the fluorescent light may appear brown
near the pulp. The reason for this has not been fully established. In this
case in particular, a further detection tool (e.g. probe) can be used to
decide on the course of treatment.
After removing carious tooth material, we recommend checking the cavity
with SIROInspect before finishing the process.
Clinical guidelines illustrate how to use a treatment process and
fluorescence. The red fluorescence alters depending on the degree of
treatment.
The clinical guidelines can also be downloaded from the Internet.
