mage to the battery.
5. CAUTION! Elipar DeepCure-S may be operated only
with the supplied battery or original 3M Elipar Deep-
Cure-S replacement batteries. The use of other bat-
teries can impair performance or cause damage to
the device.
6. CAUTION! Avoid using this device in close proximity
to other equipment or with other equipment in
stacked form, as this may result in improper function.
If use in the manner described before is necessary,
this device and the other equipment should be ob-
served carefully in order to ensure that they work
properly.
7. CAUTION. Do not stare at source. May be harmful
to the eyes. Restrict exposure to the area of the
oral cavity in which clinical treatment is intended.
Protect patient and user from reflection and intensive
scattered light by taking the appropriate precautions,
e.g., glare shields, goggles, or coverings.
8. CAUTION! As is the case for all high-intensity light-
curing devices, the high light intensity is accompanied
by heat generation on the exposed surface. This heat
can result in irreversible damage if there is longer
exposure in the proximity of the pulp or soft tissue.
The exposure times given in the manufacturer’s
instructions must be observed exactly to avoid any
such damage.
Uninterrupted exposure times of the same tooth
surface in excess of 20 seconds and direct contact

been advised to be cautious with regard to their
exposure to small electrical devices.
20. Do not use Elipar DeepCure-S in patients with a his-
tory of photobiological reactions (including
individuals with urticaria solaris or erythropoetic
protoporphyria) or who are currently on photo-
sensitizing medication (including 8-methoxypsoralen
or dimethylchlorotetracycline).
21. Individuals with a history of cataract surgery may be
particularly sensitive to the exposure to light and
should be discouraged from Elipar DeepCure-S
treatment unless adequate safety measures, such
as the use of protective goggles to remove blue
light, are undertaken.
22. Individuals with a history of retinal disease should
seek advice from their ophthalmologist prior to
operating the unit. In operating the Elipar DeepCure-S
unit, this group of individuals must take extreme
care and comply with any and all safety precautions
(including the use of suitable light-filtering safety
goggles).
23. This unit has been developed and tested in
accordance with the relevant EMC regulations and
standards. It is in conformity with legal requirements.
Since various factors such as power supply, wiring,
and the ambient conditions at the place of operation
can affect the EMC properties of the unit, the possi-
bility that, under unfavorable conditions, there will
be EMC disruptions cannot be completely excluded.
If you should notice problems in the operation of this
or other units, move the unit to a different location.
The EMC manufacturer’s declaration and the recom-
mended separation distances between portable
and mobile RF communications equipment and the
Elipar DeepCure-S unit are listed in the appendix.
24. CAUTION! Portable high-frequency communication
devices including their accessories should keep a
minimum distance of 30 cm to Elipar DeepCure-S.
Otherwise, the performance characteristics of the
device may be reduced.
25. Prior to each use of the unit ensure that the emitted
light intensity is sufficient to safely guarantee poly-
merization. Use the light testing area integrated into
the charger for this purpose.
Please report a serious incident occurring in relation to
the device to 3M and the local competent authority (EU)
or local regulatory authority.
with oral mucosa or skin must be strictly avoided.
Scientists working in this field are in agreement
that the irritation caused by heat generated during
light curing can be minimized by taking two simple
precautions:
•
Polymerization with external cooling from an air flow
• Polymerization at intermittent intervals
(e.g., 2 exposures lasting 10 seconds each ins-
tead of 1 exposure lasting 20 seconds).
9. Elipar DeepCure-S may be operated only with the
supplied light guide or original 3M Elipar
DeepCure-S replacement light guide. The light
guide has to be seen as an applied part. The use of
other light guides may result in a reduction or in-
crease in the light intensity. The product’s warranty
does not cover any damage resulting from the use
of third-party light guides.
10. Condensation resulting from the unit being trans-
ferred from a cold to a warm environment may be
a potential risk. Hence, the unit should be turned on
only after it is completely equilibrated to ambient
temperature.
11. In order to avoid electric shock do not introduce any
objects into the unit with the exception of replace-
ment parts handled in accordance with the Operating
Instructions.
12. Use only genuine 3M parts when replacing
defective
components as directed in these Operating
Instructi-
ons. The product’s warranty does not cover any da-
mage resulting from the use of third-party replace-
ment parts.
13. Should you have any reason to suspect the safety of
the unit to be compromised, the unit must be taken
out of operation and labeled accordingly to prevent
third parties from inadvertently using a
possibly
defective unit. Safety may be compromised,
e.g.,

Product Description
Elipar DeepCure-S is a high-performance LED light
source for polymerization of dental materials. It consists
of a charger and a wireless handpiece powered by a
rechargeable battery. The device is a medical electrical
device in accordance with IEC 60601-1 and is available
as a tabletop device. Wall mounting is not possible.
In comparison with conventional light-curing devices,
Elipar DeepCure-S features excellent beam collimation
and a uniform beam profile, directing more of the light
energy to the restoration being polymerized and
producing a deep, uniform, and complete curing of the
restoration.
The light source is a high-performance light diode (LED).
The beam emerging from the device covers the light
wavelength range of 430 to 480 nm relevant, for
instance, for camphor quinone products and is suitable
for use with the majority of light-curing dental materials,
including materials for fillings, liners, core build-ups,
fissure sealings, temporary restorations, and cements
for indirect restorations.
See the manufacturer’s information for the exposure
time required for the specific dental material.

왘If the unit does not function properly, remove the
battery and reinsert it as described above.
Battery Charging
왘The unit contains a powerful lithium-ion recharge-
able battery. The battery does not have any
memory effect and can therefore be recharged
at any time by placing it in the charger (see the
section describing the battery power level display
on the handpiece).
왘The battery can also be charged in the charger
independently of the handpiece.
왘Place the handpiece on the charger for approx.
1.5 hours before the first use, in order to charge the
new battery completely for the first time.

Exposure time options: 5,10,15, 20 sec, continuous
mode (120 sec), tack-cure mode.
왘See the instructions for use for the specific dental
material when selecting the exposure time.
왘The indicated exposure times assume that the light
guide is held at the exact position over the material
being polymerized.
왘If the distance between the light guide and the
restoration is increased, the exposure time must be
adjusted accordingly because the light intensity
weakens (see graph).
Select the exposure time by pressing the TIME button.
- The selected exposure time is indicated by the
4 green LEDs.
- Each time the button is briefly pressed, the setting
advances to the next (higher) value. All 4 green
LEDs will be turned on for a setting of 20 sec.
Pressing the button again will turn off all of the
LEDs and enable the continuous mode.
- The display advances through the available
settings, if the button is kept depressed.
- While exposure is ongoing, the button for selection
of the exposure time is inactive.
Activating and Deactivating the Light
왘Briefly press the START button; the light will turn on.
- The LEDs first indicate the set exposure time; all
4 LEDs light up for 20 sec. Every 5 sec, as the
time runs down, the LEDs will turn off one at a
time; at 15 sec remaining time, 3 LEDs will still be
on, at 10 sec remaining time 2 LEDs, etc.
- The LEDs do not come on at all in continuous
mode; an acoustical signal is emitted every
10 seconds.
왘If desired, the light can be turned off by pressing the
START button again before the exposure time is over.
왘Holding down the START button activates the tack-
cure mode: the unit emits a single short light pulse
which enables the defined curing of Protemp Crown
temporary restorations or a light-curing cement
excess (e.g., RelyX Unicem) to enable easy removal.
Positioning the Light Guide
왘Rotate the light guide into the desired position for
polymerization.
왘To make full use of the light intensity provided, place
the light guide as close to the filling as possible.
Avoid directly contacting the filling material!
- Keep the light guide clean at all times to obtain full
light intensity.
- Damaged light guides substantially reduce
the light intensity and must be replaced
immediately, sharp edges may cause serious
injury!
Removing and Inserting the Light Guide from/into
the Handpiece
왘The light guide has a magnetic holder. Remove the
light guide from the handpiece by pulling it towards
the front.
왘Attach the light guide to the handpiece until it is
firmly in place.

The light intensity of the Elipar DeepCure-S handpiece
can only be reliably determined using the Elipar Deep-
Cure-S charger! The circular testing area is located
below the scale for the light intensity on the charger.
Measurements carried out using the Elipar FreeLight,
FreeLight 2 or Elipar S10 charger (predecessors of Elipar
DeepCure-S), or another unit will produce incorrect
results due to the different light sources and the varying
arrangement of the components of the units.
Caution!
왘Clean the testing area with a wet cloth.
왘Without applying pressure, place the light guide on
the testing area such that the light-emitting opening
of the rod is level with the testing area.
왘Activate the lamp by pressing the START button.
- The number of illuminated LEDs is indicative of
the measured light intensity: 5 LEDs =100%,

en
4 LEDs = 90%, 3 LEDs = 80%, 2 LEDs = 70%,
1LED = 60%.
왘
If the light intensity is below 100% (fewer than 5 LEDs
are ON), check the light guide for contamination or
defects.
왘Either: clean the light guide of any contamination.
Or: clean the glare shield on the handpiece; see
“Care” for instructions about both procedures.
Or: replace the defective light guide with a new light
guide. Or: if the measures described above do not
result in any improvement, call 3M Customer Service
or the appropriate dealer.
Recommended Cure Techniques with 3M Adhesi-
ves
• Rotate the light guide into the desired position for
polymerization.
• A barrier sleeve may be used. Note that sleeve can
impact power and irradiance of a curing light. It is
critical to ensure the sleeve is powder free and the
seam is not over the tip of the light guide and that the
sleeve fits well. Intermediate level disinfection (ma-
nual disinfection with ready-to-use disinfectant wipes)
is indicated when a sleeve is used, otherwise the light
guide should undergo high level disinfection (manual
disinfection using disinfectant bath, see “Reproces-
sing the Light Guide”).
The following sleeves have been tested:
Sleep Mode
Once the handpiece is placed in the charger, all internal
functions and LEDs are automatically turned off as the
handpiece switches to sleep mode. This reduces the
power consumption of the battery to a minimal level.
Outside the charger, the handpiece is also switched to
sleep mode, if it is not used for approx. 5 min.
왘To terminate the sleep mode press the START button.
- The sleep mode termination signal (two short
audible signals) is emitted indicating that the
handpiece is ready for operation; the handpiece
displays the latest selected exposure mode and
time settings.
Acoustical Signals
- Handpiece
An acoustical signal is emitted
• every time a button is pressed,
• every time the light is turned ON,
• 1 time after 5 sec exposure time, 2 times after 10 sec,
3 times after 15 sec.
Exception: in continuous mode; an acoustical signal
is emitted every 10 seconds.
Two acoustical signals are emitted
• every time the sleep mode is terminated by pressing
the START button,
• every time the light is turned OFF.
A 2-sec error signal is emitted, if
• the handpiece over-heats,
• the battery lacks sufficient charge.
The acoustical signals from the handpiece can be turned
off (except for the 2-sec error signal). Follow these
instructions to turn them off. Put the handpiece in sleep
mode, e.g., by setting it in the charger. Take the device
from the charger; press first the TIME button, then the
START button. This changes the sleep mode of the
handpiece back to active and the status “Acoustical
signals activated” to “Acoustical signals deactivated”.
The acoustical signals can be reactivated by following
the same procedure.

tery!
왘Do not immerse the battery in water or incinerate!
Please also observe the chapter on “Safety”.
Reprocessing the Light Guide
The light guide is not sterile when delivered and must be
reprocessed before being used for the first time and after
each patient use.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for preparation, tem-
peratures, contact time and rinsing off the cleaning1and
disinfecting solution2exactly.
An enzymatic detergent should be used as the cleaning
solution.
Material Resistance
Make sure that the cleaning and disinfectant agents you
have chosen do not contain any of the following materials:
– Organic, mineral, and oxidizing acids (minimum ac-
ceptable pH value 5.5)
– The pH value of the cleaning and disinfecting solution
should be between pH 7 and 11
– Oxidation agents (e.g., hydrogen peroxide)
– Halogens (chlorine, iodine, bromide)
– Aromatic/halogenized hydrocarbons
Observe the manufacturer’s information about the clean-
ing and disinfecting agents.
The light guide must not be exposed to temperatures
higher than 135 °C (275 °F).
The light guide has been tested for up to 500 sterilization
cycles.
Limitations on Reprocessing
This medical device is safe to use if it is reprocessed
according to these instructions and no visible damage is
seen.
Inspect the device carefully before each use and discard
if there is any damage.
Point of use / Pre-Treatment
The contaminated light guide must be placed in an
approved, sealed container during transport from the
point of use to the reprocessing area.
The pre-treatment must be carried out before either
automatic or manual cleaning and disinfecting. Immedi-
ately after using (within a maximum of 2 hours), remove
gross contaminations from the light guide.
For this, rinse the light guide thoroughly under running
water (drinking water quality as a minimum) for at least
10 seconds.
Use a soft brush or a soft cloth to manually remove
any remaining contamination. Remove polymerized com-
posite with alcohol; a plastic spatula may help in remov-
ing the material. Do not use any sharp or pointed tools to
protect the surface of the light guide from scratching.
Cleaning and Thermal Disinfecting (Automated
Washer-Disinfectors / CDD (Cleaning and Disinfec-
tion Device))

왘Remove the light guide from the washer-disinfector
unit at the end of the drying cycle and store it under
low germ count conditions.
왘Examine the light guide for visible impurities. If any
impurities are visible, repeat the cycle in the washer-
disinfector.
Automated washer-disinfectors that meet the fol-
lowing requirements are suitable for use:
• The device generally has a certified effectiveness in
accordance with ISO 15883. The washer-disinfector
is regularly serviced and tested.
• If available, use a tested cycle for thermal disinfection
(A0 value > 600 or, for older devices, at least 5 min
at 90 °C/194 °F).
• The water used for rinsing is minimum drinking water
quality. Use low-germ and low-endotoxin water for
final rinsing.
• The air used for drying should be filtered (oil-free, with
low microbiological and particulate contamination).
Note: The evidence of suitability for automatic cleaning
and disinfection took place using the Miele G7336 CD
washer-disinfector (Gütersloh) and the cleaning agent
Thermosept RKN-zym (Schülke & Mayr). The program
D-V-THERMO0905, without drying time was used under
worst case conditions.
CaviWipes™ based on the active substances alco-
hols and quaternary compounds (QAV)) or equivalent
cleaning agents.
왘Follow the cleaning agent manufacturer’s directions
for use.
왘Clean with the wipes until no contamination is visible.
왘Then rinse with water (drinking water quality as a
minimum) and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Manual Disinfection (Intermediate Level Disinfection)
왘An intermediate level disinfection is possible only if
the light guide is covered with a protective sleeve
during use.
왘Disinfect the light guide with ready-to-use disinfec-
tant wipes (e.g., CaviWipes™ based on the active
substances alcohols and quaternary compounds
(QAV)) or equivalent disinfection agents. Follow the
disinfection agent manufacturer’s directions for use,
observing in particular the contact times.
왘Then rinse with water (drinking water quality as a
minimum) and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Manual Cleaning and Disinfection the Light Guide
by Immersion Bath
Manual Cleaning
왘A neutral enzymatic cleaning agent is recommended
(e.g., Cidezyme/Enzol from Johnson & Johnson).
왘Place the light guide for the specified application time
into the solution, making sure that it is completely
covered.
왘Cleaning takes place in the immersion bath with a
soft brush for at least 5 minutes.
왘Then remove the light guide from the solution, thor-
oughly rinse with low-germ-count water (drinking
water quality as a minimum), and dry with a lint-free
cloth.
Manual Disinfection (High Level Disinfection)
왘A disinfecting agent containing o-Phthalaldehyde
(e.g., Cidex OPA by Johnson & Johnson) is recom-
mended. It is compatible with the light-curing device.
왘To disinfect, place the cleaned light guide for the
specified application time (≥12 min) into the solu-
tion, making sure that it is completely covered.
왘The instruments in the disinfection bath must not
touch each other during this process.
왘Then remove the light guide from the solution, thor-

2Cidex OPA, ready-for-use solution, was used for vali-
dation of the high level disinfection and CaviWipes™
for validation of intermediate level disinfection.
Packaging for Sterilization
Package the light guide in single wrapped sterilization
pouches (one-way packaging or double packaging).
Sterilization
Effective cleaning and disinfection are absolutely essen-
tial requirements for effective sterilization.
A fractionated vacuum procedure (at least 3 vacuum
stages) or a gravity procedure (with adequate product
drying) must be used for the sterilization. The use of the
less effective gravity procedure is permissible solely if
the fractionated vacuum procedure is unavailable. The
user is solely responsible for selection of the parame-
ters required for the gravity procedure; the user must
therefore calculate or validate these parameters in ac-
cordance with the loading configuration. The drying time
actually required is also directly dependent on parame-
ters that are in the sole responsibility of the user (load-
ing configuration and density, sterilizer condition, etc.)
and must consequently be determined by the user.
• Steam sterilizer in conformity with DIN EN 13060/DIN
EN 285 or ANSI AAMI ST79 (for USA: FDA clearance)
• Maximum sterilization temperature 135 °C (275 °F)
• The following cycles were validated for the light
guide:
• Wipe the surfaces with ready-to-use disinfectant
wipes3 (e.g., CaviWipes™ based on the active sub-
stances alcohols and quaternary compounds (QAV) or
equivalent disinfection agents). Subsequently inspect
the surfaces for visible impurities. If any impurities
are visible, repeat the cleaning procedure.
• Solvents or abrasive cleaners may not be used as
they can damage the components.
• Wipe the device surfaces with a tuberculocidal disin-
fectant wipe3 for disinfection and keep it wet accord-
ing to the disinfection agent manufacturer’s direc-
tions for use, particularly observing the contact time.
• Disinfectants must not be sprayed directly onto the
device surface.
• Wipe the device surfaces with a soft cloth moistened
with water (drinking water quality as a minimum) and
dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. If you do not rinse well
with water, the components will be damaged.
Additional notes: Ensure that the charge contact pins
stay dry and are not touched by any metallic or greasy
parts. Do not bend the charge contact pins while they
dry. Wet charge contact pins cause an operating error
(malfunction message: the LED showing the operating
status of the charger flashes red).
3CaviWipes™ were used for validation of the cleaning
and disinfection procedure.
Clean Charger, Handpiece, and Glare Shield
Clean all components with a soft cloth and, if necessary,
a mild cleaning agent (e.g., dish-washing detergent).
Solvents or abrasive cleaners may not be used in any
case, as they can damage the plastic components!
- Cleaning agents must not enter the unit!
To disinfect all components, spray the disinfectant on a
towel and use it to disinfect the unit. Do not spray the
disinfectant directly on the device.
- Disinfectant agents must not enter the unit!
- Dry residual disinfectants on the device with a soft
and fluff-free cloth, as they damage the plastic
components.
If necessary, ask the manufacturer of the disinfectant if
its constant use will damage plastic surfaces.
Clean the protection glass with a soft and fluff-free
cloth. Beware of scratches!
- Make sure that charge contact pins remain dry
and are not contacted by metallic or greasy parts.
