damage to equipment and risks for patients, users and
third parties, the following safety instructions must be
observed.

8
2.5 Contraindications
Materials whereby polymerization is activated
outside the wavelength range of 385– 515 nm
(no such materials known to date). If you are
not sure about certain products, please ask
the manufacturer of the corresponding
material.
Do not charge or use the appliance near
flammable or combustible substances.
Never use without light guide.
The use of a light guide other than the one
provided in the delivery form is not
admissable.
Using the device stacked on or close to other
equipment should be avoided because
correct function can be disrupted. If such use
is unavoidable, the device needs to be
monitored and checked for correct function.
Portable and mobile high-frequency
communication devices may interfere with
medical equipment. The use of mobile
phones during operation is not allowed.
Caution – The use of controls or adjustment
devices or performing procedures other than
those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
Warning
This unit should not be used near flammable
anaesthetics or mixtures of flammable
anaesthetics with air, oxygen or nitric oxide.
In the case of serious adverse events in
connection with the product, please contact
Ivoclar Vivadent AG, Bendererstrasse 2,
9494 Schaan, www.ivoclarvivadent.com,
and your local health authorities.
Usage and liability
– Bluephase G4 must only be employed for its intended
use. Any other uses are contraindicated. Do not touch
defective, open devices. Liability cannot be accepted
for damage resulting from misuse or failure to observe
the Instructions for Use.
– The user is responsible for testing Bluephase G4 for its
use and suitability for the intended purposes. This is
particularly important if other equipment is used in
the immediate vicinity of the curing light at the same
time.
– Use only original spare parts and accessories from
Ivoclar Vivadent. The manufacturer does not accept
any liability for damage resulting from the use of
other spare parts or accessories.
– The light guide is an applied part and may warm up to
a maximum of 45 °C (113 °F) at the interface to the
handpiece during operation.
– Keep out of the reach of children!
– For use in dentistry only!
Operating voltage
Before switching on, make sure that
a) the voltage indicated on the rating plate complies
with the local power supply and
b) the unit has acquired the ambient temperature.
Do not touch the exposed contacts of the connection
plug (power pack). If the battery or power pack are used
separately (i.e. during set-up), contact with patients or
third parties must be prevented.
Assumption of impaired safety
If it has to be assumed that safe operation is no longer
possible, the power must be disconnected and the
battery removed to avoid accidental operation. This
may be the case, for example, if the device is visibly
damaged or no longer works correctly. A complete
disconnection from the power supply is only ensured
when the power cord is disconnected from the power
source. Ensure that the device can be quickly and easily
disconnected at any time.

9
Eye protection
Direct or indirect exposure of the eyes must be
prevented. Prolonged exposure to the light is
unpleasant for the eyes and may result in injury. To
optimize user safety, the device has been equipped with
intelligent anti-glare protection. For this, the "polyvision"
function must be activated (see 4. Operation). With the
polyvision function activated, the Bluephase G4
automatically senses if the handpiece is outside of the
mouth and automatically switches off the light if it has
been activated inadvertently.
In addition, we also recommend using the anti-glare
protective equipment supplied. Individuals who are
sensitive to light, who take photosensitizing drugs, have
undergone eye surgery, or work with the apparatus
(or in its vicinity) for long periods of time, should not be
exposed and should wear protective orange goggles
that absorb light below a wavelength of 515 nm. The
same applies for patients.
Battery
Caution: Use only original spare parts for Bluephase G4,
particularly Ivoclar Vivadent batteries and charging
bases. Do not short circuit battery. Do not touch the
battery contacts. Do not store at temperatures above
40 °C / 104°F (or 60°C / 140°F for a short period).
Always store batteries charged. The storage period must
not exceed 6 months. May explode if disposed of in fire.
Please note that lithium-ion batteries may react with
explosion, fire and smoke development if handled
improperly or mechanically damaged. Damaged
lithium-ion batteries must no longer be used.
The electrolytes and electrolyte fumes released during
explosion, fire and smoke development are toxic and
corrosive. Do not touch leaking batteries with bare
hands. In case of contact with the eyes or skin,
immediately wash with copious amounts of water.
Avoid inhalation of fumes. In case of indisposition, see a
physician immediately. Remove electrolyte residue from
surfaces by washing/wiping with a moist cloth. Wash
contaminated pieces of clothing immediately.
Heat development
As is the case with all high-performance lights,
the high light intensity results in a certain heat
development. Prolonged exposure of areas near the
pulp and soft tissues may result in irreversible damage.
Therefore, this high-performance curing light must only
be operated by trained professionals.
Generally, the stipulated curing times,
particularly in areas near the pulp (adhesives:
10 seconds), must be observed.
Uninterrupted curing times of more than
20 seconds on the same tooth surface, as well
as direct contact with the gingiva, oral
mucous membrane or skin have to be
prevented. Polymerize indirect restorations at
intermittent intervals of 20 seconds or use
external cooling with an air stream. The
instructions regarding curing programs and
curing times must be observed (see Selecting
the curing program and the curing time). In
addition, the light emission window must
remain positioned exactly on the material to
be cured during the entire duration of the
curing cycle (e.g. by holding it in place using
a finger).
After several curing cycles on the same
tooth, there is a risk that the pulp suffers
damage caused by the increased
temperature!

10
Check the delivery for completeness and any possible
transportation damage (see List of parts). If parts are
damaged or missing, contact your Ivoclar Vivadent
representative.
Charging base without integrated radiometer
Before you switch on the device, make sure that the
voltage mentioned on the rating plate complies with
your local power supply. Connect the power cord with
the power supply. Make sure that the power cord is
easily accessible at any time and can be easily
disconnected from the power supply.
3. Start-Up
Charging base with integrated radiometer
Before you switch on the device, make sure that the
voltage mentioned on the rating plate complies with
your local power supply.
Slide the connection plug of the power pack into the
socket on the underside of the charging base. Tilt it
slightly and apply slight pressure until you hear and feel
it snap into place. Place the charging base on a suitable,
flat table top.

11
Connect the power cord with the power supply and the
power pack. Make sure that the power cord is easily
accessible at all times and and can easily be disconnect-
ed from the power supply. The charging base will briefly
display "Bluephase G4" as ticker text on the screen.
Handpiece
Unpack the handpiece from the packaging and detach
the light guide by pulling it out. Then clean the
handpiece and light guide (see Maintenance and
Cleaning). After cleaning, reinsert the light guide.
For reasons of hygiene, we recommend using a
disposable protective sleeve for each patient
(see Maintenance and Cleaning). Make sure to fit the
protective sleeve snugly to the light guide. Sleeves
enclosed in the delivery form may be used or sleeves can
be purchased per country specific regulations.
Then, attach the anti-glare cone or anti-glare shield to
the light guide.
Battery
The battery must be fully charged before it is used for
the first time! When fully charged, the battery features a
curing capacity of at least 20 minutes.
Slide the battery straight into the handpiece until you
hear and feel it click into place.
Gently place the handpiece in the corresponding rest in
the charging base without using any force. If a hygiene
sleeve is used, please remove it before you charge the
battery. If possible, always use the light with a fully
charged battery. This will prolong the service life. We
therefore recommend placing the handpiece into the
charging base after each patient. If the battery is
fully discharged, the charging time is 2 hours.
The battery is an expendable part that typically needs to
be replaced after approximately 2.5 years. See battery
label for the age of the battery.
Battery: charging status
The current charging status is displayed on the
handpiece as described on page 6.

12
Click & Cure corded operation
(only in charging base with integrated radiometer)
If a charging base with an integrated radiometer is
used, Bluephase G4 can be used in corded operation
mode at any time, but particularly when the battery is
completely empty.
For corded operation, release the battery by pressing on
the release button on the lower part of the handpiece
and then pull the battery out of the handpiece
completely.
Then remove the power pack from the underside of the
charging base. Do not pull on the power cord.
Insert the connection plug straight into the handpiece
until you hear and feel it click into place.
During corded operation, the charging base cannot
charge the battery, since it is not connected to a power
source.
A complete disconnection from the power supply is
only ensured when the power cord is disconnected from
the power socket.
Measuring the light intensity
(only in charging base with integrated radiometer)
The integrated radiometer allows the light intensity
(mW/cm2) to be measured easily and quickly while the
charging base is connected.
To measure the light intensity, place the tip of the light
guide, without protective cover, flush into the marked
recess on the upper side of the charging base. Then
activate the light and read the value displayed on the
screen. Measurement accuracy is in the range of
+/– 10 %. If the light intensity is below 400 mW/cm2,
the screen will display "LOW". Measure the light
intensity of the curing light only with the accompanying
charging base supplied in the delivery form.

13
Disinfect contaminated surfaces of the curing light as
well as light guides and anti-glare cones before each
use. Additionally, the light guide can be sterilized using
the autoclaves intended for this purpose (see chapter
Maintenance and Cleaning). Furthermore, make sure
that the emitted light intensity permits adequate
polymerization. For that purpose, inspect the light
guide for contamination and damage and check the
light intensity at regular intervals (see paragraph
Measuring the light intensity).
Selecting the curing program and curing time
Bluephase G4 is equipped with 3 selectable curing times
and 2 curing programs for different indications. Use the
Time/Program selection button to set the desired curing
time and/or the light intensity.
H(High Power Program), 1,200 mW/cm2:
The following curing times can be selected in the
High Power program: 10, 15 or 20 seconds.
PRE (PreCure Program), 950 mW/cm2:
The PreCure program is used to tack cure light-curing,
adhesive luting composites (Variolink Esthetic) in order
to facilitate the removal of excess material. If other
luting composites are used, the distance from the light
guide to the composite must be increased or several
curing cycles must be conducted. The curing time of the
PreCure program is preset to 2 seconds and cannot be
altered.
The PreCure program must not be used for
conventional light-curing!

Observe the Instructions for Use of the material
applied when selecting the curing time and intensity.
The curing recommendations for composite materials
apply to all shades and, if not mentioned otherwise in
the Instructions for Use, to a maximum layer thickness
of 2 mm. Generally, these recommendations apply to
situations where the emission window of the light guide
is placed directly over the material to be polymerized.
Increasing the distance between the light source and
the material will require the curing time to be extended
accordingly. For instance, if the distance
to the material is approx. 11 mm, the effective light
output is reduced by approx. 50%. In this case, the
recommended curing time has to be doubled.
1)The information provided herein applies to the
10 mm light guide supplied in the delivery form.
2)The information regarding heat development and
burn hazards must be taken into consideration
(see Safety notes).

Polyvision - Automatic assistant with intelligent
anti-glare protection
Bluephase G4 features a fully
automated "polyvision" assistant for
safe polymerization. This feature
enables the curing light to
automatically sense if the handpiece is inadvertently
moved from its position during the curing procedure. To
prevent any associated reduction in the amount of
energy being transferred, the device will start to vibrate
to alert the user to the improper use and will
automatically extend the curing time by 10%. If the
handpiece is significantly shifted away from its initial
position (e.g. out of the oral cavity), the light will
automatically switch off so that the curing process can
be restarted and carried out correctly.
In addition, polyvision also acts as intelligent anti-glare
protection. Polyvision ensures that the curing light
cannot be used outside the mouth. The light can only
be activated once the light guide is positioned directly
over the material to be polymerized. This protects the
operator and patient from being blinded by the light.
If a protective sleeve is used, this function is not
available. Contamination of the light guide may affect
the functionalities of the polyvision assistant.
The automatic assistant is there to support the user. It
does not obviate the need for monitoring by the user.
If you do not want to use the assistant, you can
deactivate it at any time by long pressing (> 2 seconds)
the Time or Program selection button. The symbol on
the handpiece (see 1.3 Indicators on the handpiece)
then disappears.
Measuring the light intensity (optional, only in
charging base with radiometer)
We recommend checking the light intensity emitted by
the curing light at regular intervals using the integrated
radiometer in order to be sure that the materials are
adequately cured an the composite fillings are of a high
and lasting quality (see 3. Start-Up).
Cure Memory function
The last settings used, together with the combination of
curing program and curing time, are automatically
saved.
Start/Stop
The light is switched on by means of the Start/Stop
button. It is recommended that the emission window of
the light guide is placed directly on the material to be
polymerized. Once the selected curing time has elapsed,
the curing program is automatically terminated. If
desired, the light can be switched off before the set
curing time has elapsed by pressing the Start/Stop
button again.
Acoustic signals
Acoustic signals can be heard for the following
functions:
– Start (Stop)
– Every 10 seconds
– Curing time and program change
– Inserting battery
– Error message (when anti-glare protection is activated
and the curing process is aborted)
Light intensity
The light intensity is maintained at a consistent level
during operation. If the supplied 10 mm light guide is
used, the light intensity has been calibrated to
1,200 mW/cm2± 10% in the High Power program. If
another light guide than the one supplied is used, it
directly influences the emitted light intensity.
In a light guide with parallel walls (10 mm), the
diameter of the light entry and the light emission
window is the same. When using focussing light guides
(e.g. Pin-Point light guide 6>2mm), the diameter of the
light entry is larger than that of the light emission
window. The incident blue light is therefore
concentrated over a smaller area. In this way, the
emitted light intensity is increased. Pin-Point light
guides are suitable for spot-on polymerization, e.g. to
fix veneers before the removal of excess. For complete
polymerization, the light guide must be changed.

16
5. Maintenance and Cleaning
For reasons of hygiene, we recommend using a
disposable protective sleeve for each patient. Make sure
to fit the protective sleeve closely to the light guide.
Disinfect contaminated surfaces of the device and anti-
glare cones (FD 366/Dürr Dental, Incidin Liquid/Ecolab,
CaviCide/Metrex Research). Sterilize the light guide
before each use if disposable protective sleeves are not
used. Make sure that no liquids or other foreign
substances enter the handpiece, charging base and
particularly the power pack during cleaning (risk of
electrical shock). Disconnect the charging base from the
power source when cleaning it.
Cleaning the housing
Wipe the handpiece and handpiece holder with a
customary aldehyde-free disinfecting solution. Do not
clean with highly aggressive disinfecting solutions
(e.g. solutions based on orange oil or with an ethanol
content of more than 40%), solvents (e.g. acetone), or
pointed instruments, which may damage or scratch the
plastic. Clean dirty plastic parts with a soapy solution.
Pre-treating the light guide
Before cleaning and/or disinfecting the light guide,
pretreat it. This applies to both automated and manual
cleaning and disinfection:
– Remove substantial contamination immediately after
use or 2 hours after that at the latest. For this purpose,
thoroughly rinse the light guide under running water
(for at least 10 seconds). Alternatively, use a suitable
aldehyde-free disinfecting solution to remove any
adherent blood.
– To remove contamination manually, use a soft brush
or soft cloth. Partially polymerized composite can be
removed with alcohol and a plastic spatula, if
necessary. Do not use sharp or pointed objects, as
they may scratch the surface.
Manually cleaning and disinfecting the light guide
For manual cleaning, place the light guide in an
instrument cleaning solution (e.g. ID 212 forte/Dürr Dental)
for the recommended reaction time (15 minutes). Make
sure that the light guide is sufficiently immersed in
cleaning solution (cleaning bath with sieve insert and
lid). Observe the instructions for use of the disinfectant
manufacturer when using cleaning and disinfectant
solution.
When cleaning and disinfecting, please make
sure that the agents used are free of:
– organic, mineral and oxidizing acids (the minimum
admissible pH value is 5.5)
– alkaline solutions (the maximum admissible
pH value is 11)
– oxidizing agent (e.g. hydrogen peroxide)
After the cleaning process, remove the light guide from
the solution and thoroughly rinse it under running
water (20 +/– 2 °C / 36 +/– 4 °F) for at least 10 seconds.
Mechanical cleaning and disinfection of the light guide
(Disinfector/CDU (cleaning and disinfection unit))
As an alternative, cleaning and disinfection can be
carried out mechanically: Neodisher® MediClean forte,
Dr. Weigert, 0.5 %, according to cleaning program, e.g.
cleaning at 55 °C (131 °F) (+5 °C (41 °F)/–0 °C), 5–10 min,
disinfection 90 °C (194 °F) (+5 °C (41 °F)/–0 °C), 5–10 min.

17
Sterilization of the light guide
Thorough cleaning and disinfecting is imperative to
ensure that the subsequent sterilization is effective. Use
only autoclave sterilization for this purpose: 3x pre-
vacuum, sterilization time (exposure time at sterilization
temperature) is 4 minutes at 134 °C (273 °F); pressure
should be 2 bar (29 psi). Use nationally approved
sterilization pouches. Dry the sterilized light guide
(10 min) using either the special drying program of your
steam autoclave or hot air. The light guide has been
tested for up to 200 sterilization cycles.
Checking the light guide
After that, check the light guide for damage. Hold it
against the light. If individual segments appear black,
glass fibres are broken. If this is the case, replace the
light guide with a new one. If you can still see signs of
contamination on the light guide, the cleaning and
disinfecting procedure must be repeated.
Disposal
The curing light must not be disposed of as
normal houshold waste. Dispose
unserviceable batteries and curing lights
according to the corresponding legal
requirements in your country. Batteries must
not be incinerated.
