Thank you for choosing AcceleDent® Optima™ which works with your
current orthodontic treatment to deliver a better experience from start to

orthodontic treatment work faster. It does this by generating small vibrations
called micropulses to gently accelerate the movement of your teeth as they are
guided by your orthodontics.

5.3. Use Schedule
5.3.1. By using AcceleDent Optima for 20 minutes per day, the small vibrations, or
micropulses will help your teeth respond to orthodontic treatment more quickly.
5.3.2. Select a consistent time for use each day. This way using AcceleDent Optima
becomes a routine, and you may be less likely to forget a daily session.
5.3.2.1. Some patients prefer using AcceleDent Optima just after they
wake up and brush their teeth in the morning. Others use the appliance
while engaged in a consistent daily activity, such as reading, watching TV, or
using a computer/mobile device. Try several approaches and decide on the
approach that works best for you.
5.3.2.2. You may find that occasionally using AcceleDent Optima right
after you receive a wire change or switch to a new aligner tray is a good
time to help reduce pain.
5.3.3. Try to find a time that you can use AcceleDent Optima without
interruption as it is best not to stop use in the middle of a session.
5.3.4. You may easily pause and resume use if you are interrupted during a
session. To pause, press the power button on the Activator. Refer to 5.1.7 for
further information.

correct electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance
between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters)
and the AcceleDent Optima device as recommended below, according to the
maximum output power of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation
distance d in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter,
where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter
manufacturer.
NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is aected by
absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

energy at 288 kHz +/- 10 kHz for the purposes of wireless charging.
AcceleDent Optima complies with the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) standard; it
transmits and receives electromagnetic energy through at 2.4 to 2.4835 GHz.
The band is split into 40 2 MHz channels. The maximum transmit power is
less than 1 mW.
10.13.1.3. See IEC 60601-1-11 clause 4.2.3.1 for applicable conditions. This
device has been tested and found to comply with requirements for CISPR 11
Class B digital devices, which is designed to provide reasonable protection
against interference in a residential setting. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
10.14. Electromagnetic Emissions
10.14.1. The Activator is intended for use in the electromagnetic
environment specified below. The customer or the user of the unit should
assure that it is used in such an environment.
10.14.2. In accordance with Clause 4.3 of IEC 60601-1, AcceleDent Optima
does not have Essential Performance.
Emissions Test Compliance The AcceleDent Optima uses RF energy for internal
function and low power communication; therefore, its
RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause
any interference in nearby electronic equipment.
