Important Information - DENTSPLY TRIAD 2000 Operating & Service Manual

Do not cover the Triad 2000 turntable. The Triad 2000 VLC
Light Curing Unit is intended for the curing of:
1) Triad Material,
2) Triad Material to already-cured Triad Material, or
3) Triad Material to previously fabricated acrylic prostheses.
Because heat is generated as part of the cure process, some
thermoplastic materials may soften and distort. Care should
be exercised in dealing with combinations of metal and plas-
tic, relines of lower partial dentures and thermoplastic den-
ture base materials. Distortion can be avoided by dividing the
total cure time into interrupted segments to allow cooling.
DENTSPLY recommends routine sterilization of the
turntable. Remove the turntable from the unit, then soak or
spray it with a surface disinfectant. The Triad 2000 turntable
may be autoclaved up to approximately 100 cycles, based on
internal testing.
Do not operate the unit with the turntable down.
Do not operate the unit above 200˚F (93.3˚C) or below
50˚F (10˚C).
Do not place anything on top of the unit that would block the fan.
Leave a minimum of 2" above the unit for proper ventilation.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within
an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to
the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within
the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle,
is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accompanying the
appliance.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

TRIAD UNIT:
Triad 2000 Light Curing Unit:
U.S. Patent No. 5,298,758; 5,477,054
U.S. Patent No. Des. 377,583
TRIAD MATERIALS:
• If uncured Triad VLC Material becomes crusty, forms a
skin on its surface and becomes difficult to blend togeth-
er, it has been exposed to light for too long and should be
discarded because irreversible partial curing has occurred.
• If fresh, room-temperature Triad Material should craze or
crack when bent at a sharp angle, it has exceeded its use-
ful life.
• Refrigerate Triad Materials for maximum shelf life.
• Prolonged contact with uncured Triad Materials can cause
a slight-to-moderate skin irritation. Wash hands after han-
dling resin. Persons with special skin problems, cuts, or
abrasions should wear protective gloves. Uncured Triad
Materials are mild sensitizing agents. Occasionally, users
may develop contact dermatitis. Should this occur, wear
protective gloves. If sensitization persists, consult a physi-
cian.
• Triad Bonding Agent is a moderate skin irritant. Apply
with brush provided. Avoid contact with skin. Should con-
tact occur, wash promptly. Contains methyl methacrylate,
a potential sensitizing agent for certain individuals.
• DENTSPLY recommends exercising good infection con-
trol practices when using Triad Bonding Agent and Air
Barrier Coating (ABC). To avoid contamination of con-
tents, pour a small amount of Bonding Agent or ABC into
a dappen dish. After using the brush to apply solution,
remove brush from cap and discard. Use general purpose
disposable brushes thereafter.
• Triad Air Barrier Coating should be kept out of the eyes.
• DENTSPLY recommends exercising good infection con-
trol practices when using Triad Model Release Agent
(MRA). Use a clean cotton swab or disposable spatula to
remove the desired amount from the MRA container.
Dispose of any unused portion of MRA when finished
with application.
