Description of the device
The Translux 2Wave uses a source of light consisting of a very-effi
cient duo-chromatic LED diode with a wavelength
comprised between 385 and 510 nm.
The entire light radiated by the Translux 2Wave is used to activate the camphorquinone photoinitiators as well
as Lucirin TPO and PPT. This produces excellent polymerisation results with low heat emission.
The Translux 2Wave is shipped with a 360° rotating light guide with 8 mm diameter.
The Translux 2Wave consists of a charging unit and a hand piece, powered by a removable rechargeable
Lithium-ion battery.
The hand piece is equipped with a “
Sleep Mode
” to minimise the unit’s energy consumption.
The hand piece switches to “
Sleep Mode
” if it is not used for a period of about 5 minutes.
The hand piece features a display with symbols / icons for diff erent modes,
curing time selection and the battery status.
The Translux 2Wave can operate with four diff erent exposure cycles:
•
Exposure with slowly increasing output:
“
Soft-Start
”
(cycle duration 20 seconds).
The “
Soft-Start
” means increase of light intensity from 50% up to 100% within 2 seconds.
•
Exposure with constant output:
cycle duration 20 seconds, 10 seconds or 5 seconds.
NOTE – Observe the exposure times of the materials specifi ed by the manufacturer.
For materials with specifi c exposure times (e.g. 30 / 40 seconds for dark composites) repeat the exposure
several times if necessary.
3.2 Safety
requirements
The eff ectiveness of the safety instructions with regard to personnel protection, handling the unit and handling the
processed product is to a large degree dependent on the behaviour of the staff working with the equipment.
WARNING
Prior to initial operation, carefully read through these Operating Instructions and observe the information
in order to avoid errors and subsequent damage, particularly damage to health.
In addition to the instructions in this operating manual, comply with the national laws, regulations,
and directives in your country when setting up and operating the unit.
3.2.1
General safety instructions on operating the device
WARNING – INTENDED USE
Use the unit only for the purpose for which it is intended (see paragraph 3 Intended use). Any other uses are
strongly contra-indicated. Any non-compliance of this regulation can result in serious injury of the patients
or operators of the unit as well as damage or faults to the unit. Kulzer is not liable for consequential damages
due to the non-observance of the aforementioned provision!
WARNING
The user is responsible for testing the Translux 2Wave for its use and suitability for the intended purposes.
Never
point the light towards the eyes! Direct or indirect exposure of light into the eyes must always be preven-
ted by wearing protective goggles that fi lter out blue and ultraviolet light. When curing, position the light guide
tip directly over the material that needs to be cured and avoid extraneous exposure to soft tissues.
Eyes, gums, soft tissue and other body parts must not be exposed to the light beam (if necessary, these parts
must be covered with protection). Use a rubber dam to protect the soft tissues, i.e. gingiva during treatment.
Exposure must be restricted to the area of the oral cavity in which clinical treatment is executed.
WARNING – CONTRA-INDICATIONS
Do not
use the Translux 2Wave on patients fi tted with a pacemaker or other implantable electronic devices.
This also applies to the operator.
The unit must not be used by children, the blind or the deaf and also not by / on persons who are prone
to possible epileptic seizures. The above pre-named persons may not recognise the risks of use and operation.
Due to safety reasons for the operator and the patients with potential risk of epileptic seizures, use and
operation of the device is prohibited.
WARNING
No modifi cation of this equipment is allowed.
