2.4 Safety notes
Bluephase G4 is an electronic device and a medical
product which is subject to IEC 60601-1 (EN 60601-1)
and EMC directives IEC 60601-1-2 (EN60601-1-2) Edition
3.0, as well as the 93/42/EEC Medical Device Directive.
The curing light complies with the relevant EU
regulations.
The curing light has been shipped from the manu-
facturer in a safe and technically sound condition.
In order to maintain this condition and to ensure risk-
free operation, the notes and regulations in these
Instructions for Use have to be observed. To prevent
damage to equipment and risks for patients, users and
third parties, the following safety instructions have to
be observed.
2.5 Contraindications
Materials, the polymerization of which is
activated outside the wavelength range of
385– 515 nm (no 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.

8
The use of this device close to other
equipment or stacked with it should be
avoided because the correct function can be
disrupted. If such use is unavoidable, the
devices need 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.
Usage and liability
– Bluephase G4 must only be employed for the
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.
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.
If the battery or power pack are used separately,
e.g. during start-up or Click & Cure corded operation,
contact with patients or third parties must be
prevented. Do not touch the exposed contacts of
the connection plug (power pack).
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 to 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.
Therefore, using the supplied anti-glare cones is
recommended. Individuals who are sensitive to light,
who take photosensitizing drugs, have undergone eye
surgery, or people who work with the apparatus or in its
vicinity for long periods of time should not be exposed
to its light and wear protective orange goggles that
absorb light below a wavelength of 515 nm. The same is
true for patients.
Battery
Caution: Use only original spare parts, 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-polymer batteries may react
with explosion, fire and smoke development if handled
improperly or mechanically damaged. Damaged
lithium-polymer 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 accidental 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 it is the case with all high-performance lights, the
high light intensity results in a certain heat develop-
ment. 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 be
placed exactly on the material to be cured at
all times (e.g. by holding it in place using a
finger).
After several curing cycles on the same
tooth, there is a risk that the pulpa 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. Then, attach
the anti-glare cone or anti-glare shield to the light
guide.
Battery
We recommend fully charging the battery before the
first use! If the battery is fully charged, it features a
curing capacity of approximately 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, use the light always with a fully
charged battery. This will prolong the service life. It is
therefore recommended to place the handpiece into
the charging base after each patient. If the battery is
fully discharged, the charging time is 2 hours.
Since the battery is an expendable part, it has to be
replaced after its typical life cycle has expired 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
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. If the light intensity is below 400 mW/cm2, the
screen will display "LOW".

13
4. Operation
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 stipulated light intensity permits adequate
polymerization. For that purpose, check the light guide
for contamination and damage as well as the light
intensity at regular intervals (see paragraph Measuring
the light intensity).
Selecting the curing program and time
Bluephase G4 is equipped with the following
3 selectable curing times and 2 curing programs for the
different indications. Use the time/program selection
button to adjust the desired curing time and hence the
specified light intensity.
H(High Power Program), 1,200 mW/cm2± 10%:
The following curing times can be selected in the
High Power program: 10, 15 or 20 seconds.
PRE (PreCure Program), 950 mW/cm2± 10%:
The PreCure program is used to tack cure light-curing,
adhesive luting composites (e. g. Variolink Esthetic) in
order to facilitate the removal of excess material. 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!

the Instructions for Use of the respective material do not state any other
recommendation (might be the case e.g. with dentin shades)
2) Applies to a maximum layer thickness of 4 mm and provided that
the Instructions for Use of the respective material do not state any other
recommendation (might be the case e.g. with dentin shades)
3) Applies to a maximum layer thickness of 3 mm
4) Applies to light-curing
5) Applies to dual-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 max. 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).

15
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, if necessary,
will automatically extend the curing time by 20%. 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 called on in open space. 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
applicable.
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)
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 (if 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 thus bundled to 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)
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 prevent the
adherence of 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, immerse the light guide in
cleaning solution. Make sure that the light guide is
entirely submerged in the solution and allow it to soak
for the recommended time (ultrasonic cleaning or
careful brushing with a soft brush may enhance the
effectiveness of the procedure). We recommend using a
neutral enzymatic detergent.
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 solution (the maximum admissible
pH value is 8.5)
– oxidizing agent (e.g. hydrogen peroxide)
Afterwards, remove the light guide from the solution
and thoroughly rinse it under running, germ-free water
(for at least 10 seconds).
For disinfecting the light guide, immerse it in
disinfectant solution; make sure that the light guide is
entirely submerged in the solution. We recommend
using a o-phthalaldehyde-containing disinfectant.
After the light guide has been disinfected, remove it
from the solution and rinse it again thoroughly under
running germ-free water (for at least 10 seconds). Then
dry the light guide with a clean towel.
Please observe the instructions given by the
manufacturer of the detergent and disinfectant.

17
Mechanical cleaning and disinfection of the light guide
(washer-disinfector)
As an alternative, cleaning and disinfection can be
carried out mechanically. Information on the validated
procedure can be obtained from Ivoclar Vivadent AG.
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. The
sterilization time (exposure time at sterilization
temperature) is 4 minutes at 134 °C (273 °F); pressure
should be 2 bar (29 psi). Dry the sterilized light guide
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 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.
