SmartLite™ PS
Scientific Compendium
Contra-indications
Use for indirect restorations:
SmartLite PS should not be used for curing of luting cements for indirect restorations (e. g.
ceramic inlays) as continuous curing cycles will result in heat build-up of the LED tip which
may cause discomfort or burns.
Use in patients prone to photobiological reactions:
Do not use the SmartLite PS on patients with a history of photobiological reactions (including
patients with Urticaria solaris or erythropoietic protoporphyrie) or those currently undergoing
treatment with photosensitising pharmaceuticals.
Warnings
SmartLite PS should not be used as a tissue retractor, as this may damage the connection
between LED tip and hand piece.
Do not use a damaged device, e. g. if among others the glass cover of the LED Tip is
scratched, broken or missing.
Do not use for voltages different to the range indicated on the charging unit.
Note: To disrupt the power supply, the charging device has to be plugged out.
Always unplug the charger before disinfecting.
Precautions
Anyone with a history of retinopathy should consult their eye specialist before operating this
unit. Use the SmartLite PS extremely carefully and comply with all the necessary safety
precautions (including wearing suitable, light filtering safety glasses).
Anyone who has had a cataract operation may be especially sensitive to light and should be
advised against undergoing treatment with a SmartLite PS unless adequate safety
precautions are taken such as wearing safety glasses which filter out blue/violet and ultra-
violet light.
Do not use a device which has not been properly disinfected (see Chapter Maintenance).
Protect LED Tip from contamination by applying a disposable, single patient use sleeve
®
(DENTSPLY Disposa-Shield ).
Never aim the light directly at unprotected soft tissues, as this may cause injury or irritation.
Do not aim the light at eyes.
