1.1 Preface
Dear Customer,
Thank you for having purchased the IVOMAT IP3. This
apparatus is a technically advanced product. Please read
these Operating Instructions carefully and use the
IVOMAT IP3 according to the instructions. Should you
have any further questions, please contact your dealer
or Ivoclar Vivadent directly.
1.2 Introduction
Apparatus: IVOMAT IP3
Target group: Dental professionals
The IVOMAT IP3 is suitable for the polymerization of
dental resins. The Operating Instructions ensure safe,
correct, and economic use of the IVOMAT IP3. They are
divided into several, clearly structured chapters. This
should enable you to locate specific topics quickly and
easily.
To inform you about risks, dangers, important
information, and contraindications, these Instructions
contain corresponding signs/symbols to mark important
paragraphs.
We recommend keeping the Instructions in a safe place
near the apparatus to have immediate access to the
information if necessary.
Should you lose the Operating Instructions, extra copies
can be ordered at a normal fee from your local Ivoclar
Vivadent Service Center.

This chapter is especially important for individuals who
work with the IVOMAT IP3 or who have to carry out
maintenance or repair work. This chapter must be read
and the corresponding instructions followed.
2.1 Indications
The IVOMAT IP3 has been especially developed for the
polymerization of dental resins and materials and should
be used for these purposes only.
Uses other than the ones stipulated are contraindicated.
The manufacturer does not assume any liability for
damage resulting from misuse. The user is solely
responsible for any risk resulting from failure to observe
these instructions.
Further instructions to assure proper use of the furnace:
– The instructions, regulations, and notes in these
Operating Instructions must be observed.
– The apparatus must be operated under the indicated
environmental and operating conditions
(see Chapter 9)
– The IVOMAT IP3 must be properly maintained.
2.2.1
Risks and dangers
Make sure that no liquids or other foreign objects enter
the air vents, since this may result in an electrical shock.
2.2.2
Risks and dangers
The housing must not be opened while it is connected to
the power supply, since there is a risk of electrical shock.
The connection cover may only be opened by a qualified
service center.

3.1 Components
The IVOMAT IP3 consists of the following components:
– Apparatus with air filter control
– Non-return valve
– 1.5 m compressed air hose
– 1.2 m water drain hose with canister cap
– Canister hose with sound absorber; polymerization
container in pressure chamber, and 3 object clips
secured to removable lid
– 1 return water container
– 1 replenishing cup
Special accessories
– IVOMAT refill container type IN 1
– Wallfixator
3.2 Functional description
The pressure chamber is equipped with a heater.
In this way, the water can be heated to the temperature
required for the corresponding material.
The pressure chamber is impinged with compressed air
to achieve optimum homogeneity of the material. The
polymerization time can be set by means of the timer.
3.3 Hazardous areas and safety equipment
Description of the hazardous areas:
4.1 Unpacking and checking the contents
Remove the apparatus from its packaging and check for
possible transportation damage. We recommend keeping
the original packaging for future transportation
purposes. Use only the original packaging for
transportation.
Do not carry the IVOMAT IP3 by means of
the power cord. Support the bottom of the
IVOMAT IP3 with both hands to carry it.
4.2 Selecting the location
Place the apparatus on a flat table using the rubber feet.
Make sure that the apparatus is not placed in the
immediate vicinity of heaters or other sources of heat.
Furthermore, protect the apparatus from direct sunlight.
4.3 Connections
Make sure the voltage indicated on the rating plate
complies with the local power supply. If this is not the
case, the apparatus must not be connected.
Connecting the compressed air hose
Make sure that the hose is properly connected.
Power connection
Make sure that the power cord does not touch any parts
of the apparatus that become hot during use.
The electrical installations of the room where
the apparatus is located must comply with
the national regulations and IEC standards.

4.4 Connecting the return water canister
– Fill return water canister (20) to a depth of 3–5 cm.
– Insert the canister hose into the canister and screw
cap on (19).
– Put the canister on the floor in a suitable place.
– Lift the safety lever (2) and engage. Push the bolt to
the right using the knob (3) and lift the lid (4) of the
vessel.
– Remove protective insert used during transportation.
5.1 Switching on / off
Take the polymerization container (29) with lid (27) out
of the pressure chamber. Switch on main (9) (0 to I). The
pilot lamp (10) will light up when the apparatus is ready
for use.
The apparatus may be kept ready for use
throughout the day (mains switch on I), but the
pressure chamber lid (4) should remain either
unbolted or open after each use.
5.2 Filling in water
Fill the pressure chamber with water.
– Maximum filling height: up to the market groove in
the chamber
– Minimum filling height: objects to be polymerized
must be completely under water

6.1 Placing the objects and starting the program
– Remove the lid (27) from the polymerization contains.
Secure the objects to be polymerized on the alligator
clips (28).
– Slowly insert the polymerization container with lid and
objects, or models held by the Wallfixator, into the
pressure chamber.
– Close chamber lid (4). Bolt the chamber by sliding the
knob (3) to the left. Press safety lever down until it
audibly clicks into place.
– Set polymerization thermostat (6). Move the red
indicator to the desired temperature.
The program automatically begins, once the timer
is set. Note: For times under 5 minutes, first turn
the timer to approximately 10 minutes, then
immediately turn it back to the desired time.
(If required, the time may be returned to zero during the
automatic program in progress. The time may also be
prolonged or shortened.)
– Automatic program:
• The manometer (7) indicates the rise in pressure
(check to make sure that the required operating
pressure has been reached by the time the selected
temperature has been achieved.
• The water in the pressure chamber is heated.
The black indicator on the thermostat registers the
current temperature.
• Once the desired temperature is reached, the set
polymerization time begins (timer countdown).
• After the polymerization time, the water is ejected
from the pressure chamber and flows into the canister.
At the same time, the pressure is released (indicated
on the manometer).
