iTero Element 2 and iTero Element Flex User Manual
Scanner
warnings
The wand emits red laser light (680nm Class 1), as well as white LED emissions.
Normal usage of the wand does not present any danger to the human eye.
However, you should refrain from shining the wand directly into the patient’s
eyes.
Avoid twisting, knotting, pulling, and stepping on the cable.
When the system is not in use, the wand should be placed in the cradle with the
probe facing the touch screen, so there will be no eye contact with the laser
beam, or the flickering white LED emission.
Activate the wand only while the tip of the wand is in the patient’s mouth.
Avoid placing the wand in the cradle while the scanning operation is still active.
If a scanner malfunction occurs or if physical damage is observed, stop scanning
and call Customer Support.
Cleaning &
disinfection
To avoid cross-contamination, it is mandatory to:
oClean and disinfect the wand, as described in section 10.2, and replace the
disposable wand sleeve as described in section 1.4.3.1.1, after each patient
session.
oRemove and replace gloves after each patient session.
oDiscard torn, contaminated, or removed gloves.
Dispose of scanner sleeves according to standard operating procedures or local
regulations for the disposal of contaminated medical waste.
Unpacking &
installing
The system should be unpacked and installed following Align Technology’s
instructions, described in section 2.1.
Work
environment
The system should be moved between rooms with utmost care to avoid damage.
Do not block the air vents on the wand and the screen.
The system is intended for indoor use only. It should not be exposed to direct
sunlight, excessive heat, or humidity.
iTero Element Flex only: If the iTero Element Flex has just been brought into the
office from a hot, cold, or humid environment, it should be set aside until it has
adjusted to the room temperature, to avoid internal condensation.
Electromagnetic
interference
WARNING: This device has been tested and found to comply with the requirements
for medical devices according to standard IEC60601-1-2.
This standard is designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a typical medical installation. However, because of the proliferation of
radio-frequency transmitting equipment and other sources of electrical and
electromagnetic interference in the healthcare environments (e.g., cellular phones,
mobile two-way radios, electrical appliances, RFID), it is possible that high levels of
such interference due to close proximity or strength of source, may result in disruption
of performance of this device. In this case, the device can be returned to operation
mode after user intervention or by auto-recovery.
General
WARNINGS:
No modification of this equipment is allowed.
iTero Element 2 only: The touch screen must always be attached to the stand
after assembly.

Dispositif médical
sur ordonnance
Le système constitue un dispositif médical sur ordonnance et ne doit être manipulé
que par des prestataires de soins qualifiés.
Avertissements
relatifs au scanner
Le scanner émet une lumière laser rouge (680nm de classe 1), ainsi que des
émissions à LED blanches. L'utilisation normale du scanner ne présente aucun
danger pour l'œil humain. Cependant, les médecins doivent éviter de placer le
scanner directement dans les yeux du patient.
Évitez de tordre, de nouer, de tirer ou de marcher sur le câble.
Lorsque le système n’est pas utilisé, placez la tige dans le socle avec la sonde
face à l’écran tactile afin d’éviter tout contact visuel avec le faisceau laser ou
l’émission de LED blanche vacillante.
N'activez la tige que lorsque son extrémité est dans la bouche du patient.
Évitez de placer la tige dans le socle tant que l'opération de numérisation est
toujours active.
Si un dysfonctionnement du scanner se produit ou si des dommages
physiques sont observés, arrêtez la numérisation et appelez le support client.
Nettoyage &
désinfection
Pour éviter la contamination croisée, il est obligatoire de:
oNettoyer et désinfecter la tige comme décrit dans la section 10.2 et de
remplacer le manchon jetable de la tige comme décrit dans la section
1.4.3.1.1, après chaque session patient.
oEnlevez et remplacez les gants après chaque session patient.
oJetez les gants déchirés, contaminés ou déjà enlevés.
Jetez les manchons du scanner conformément aux procédures d'utilisation
standard ou aux réglementations locales relatives à l'élimination des déchets
médicaux contaminés.
Déballage &
installation
Le système doit être déballé et installé conformément aux instructions fournies par
Align Technology, décrites dans cette section 2.1.

Interférence
électromagnétique
AVERTISSEMENT: Cet appareil a été testé et approuvé conforme aux exigences
des dispositifs médicaux selon la norme IEC60601-1-2.
Cette norme est conçue pour fournir une protection raisonnable contre les
interférences dangereuses dans une installation médicale classique. Cependant,
en raison de la prolifération des équipements de transmission sur fréquence radio
et d'autres sources d'interférence électrique et électromagnétique dans les
environnements de soins de santé (par exemple, téléphones portables, radios
mobiles bidirectionnelles, appareils électriques), il est possible que des niveaux
élevés d'interférences dûs à la proximité ou à la force d'une source puissent
entraîner des perturbations du fonctionnement de cet appareil. Dans ce cas,
l'appareil peut être remis en mode de fonctionnement après une intervention de
l'utilisateur ou par une récupération automatique.
Informations
générales
AVERTISSEMENTS:
Aucune modification de cet équipement n'est autorisée.
iTero Element 2 uniquement: l’écran tactile doit toujours être fixé au support
