2CEREC Omnicam
CAUTION
If the CEREC Omnicam accidentally falls down, check to make sure
that the camera windows and coated sapphire glass are not
damaged. If the CEREC Omnicam has been damaged, it must no
longer be used on patients.
The CEREC Omnicam must be recalibrated.
NOTE
Do not sterilize the CEREC Omnicam or the camera cable!
NOTE
The mirror sleeves are not autoclave sterilizable!
2.1 General information
The CEREC Omnicam is a very sensitive optical device and must
therefore be handled with the utmost care. Protect the coated sapphire
glass and the camera windows against scratches and clean them with a
clean lint-free cloth and ethanol (commercially available cleaning
alcohol) whenever a film is noticed during imaging.
Dental health care providers are advised to select the reprocessing
method that aligns with their infection control process. An effective
infection control program is practical, reasonable, and reproducible.
3 methods have been validated to reprocess the CEREC Omnicam
between patient care:
● High-level disinfection of the mirror sleeve (with HLD Set) [→7]
● Dry heat sterilization of the mirror sleeve [→12]
● Use of CEREC Omnicam Disposable Sleeves [→13]
One of these methods is strongly recommended to be used for the
reprocessing of the mirror sleeve.

RAPIDHEAT Sterilizer.
For 120 minutes 160°C the CPAC Sterident Model 200 is to be
used.
For 60 minutes 160°C the CPAC SteriSURE is to be used.
4. Store the mirror sleeve in such a way that it is protected from
contamination until the next use.
5. Carefully re-attach the mirror sleeve and allow it to lock in place
(see „Refitting the mirror sleeve [→5]“).

2.10 Use of CEREC Omnicam Disposable Sleeves
The CEREC Omnicam can use disposable plastic sleeves to ensure
maximum infection control. These are available with order number
6632264.
NOTE
The disposable sleeves cannot be used with the CEREC AF and
CEREC AI systems or when using the shade detection feature or
using the Ortho software.
1. Following each patient, remove the disposable sleeve from the
CEREC Omnicam camera and dispose of it according to the
standard procedure.
2. Wipe disinfection of the camera (see “Wipe disinfection for the
camera and mirror sleeve“).
3. Remove one disposable sleeve from its packaging. Slide the
disposable sleeve up to the stop on the mirror sleeve, so that it is
securely positioned on the CEREC Omnicam camera. Hold the
camera in other places, not just on the sleeve in order to prevent
the camera from falling.
4. Position the camera in the holder, so that it can warm up for 15
minutes prior to the intraoral exposure. Make sure that the holder
has been disinfected (see „Non-critical surfaces excluding monitor
screen“).
5. In the case of intraoral exposures with disposable sleeves, the
CEREC Omnicam camera should be positioned closer to teeth than
without sleeves. If the 3D preview indicates artifacts, check whether
the window of the disposable sleeve is clean and wipe it down with
alcohol.

CAUTION
If the CEREC Bluecam accidentally falls down, check to make sure
that the front lens and prism are not damaged. If the CEREC Bluecam
has been damaged, it must no longer be used on patients.

NOTE
Do not sterilize the CEREC Bluecam or the camera cable!
NOTE
The prismatic tubes are not autoclave sterilizable!
3.1 CEREC Bluecam without sapphire glass
3.1.1 General information
The CEREC Bluecam is a very sensitive optical device and must
therefore be handled with the utmost care. Protect the front lens and the
prism against scratching and clean them with a clean lint-free cloth and
ethanol (commercially available cleaning alcohol) whenever a film is
noticed during imaging.
Dental health care providers are advised to select the reprocessing
method that aligns with their infection control process. An effective
infection control program is practical, reasonable, and reproducible.
Two methods have been validated to reprocess the CEREC Bluecam
without sapphire glass between patient care:
● High-level disinfection of the prismatic tube without sapphire glass
[→17]
● Dry heat sterilization of the prismatic tube without sapphire glass
[→19]
One of these methods is strongly recommended to be used for the
reprocessing of the prismatic tube.
