Safety
Intended use
bluephase C8 is an LED polymerization light that produces
energy-rich blue light. It is used for the polymerization of
light-curing dental materials immediately at the dental unit.
The intended use also includes the observation of the notes
and regulations in these Operating Instructions.
Indication
With its “polywave” broadband spectrum, bluephase C8 is
suitable for the polymerization of all light-curing dental
materials curing in the wavelength range of 380-515 nm.
These materials include restoratives, bonding agents/adhe-
sives, bases, liners, fissure sealants, temporary materials as
well as luting materials for brackets and dental-lab materi-
als such as those used in the fabrication of ceramic inlays.
Contraindications
• Materials, the polymerization of which is activated out-
side the wavelength range of 380-515 nm (no materials
known to date). If you are not sure about certain prod-
ucts, please ask the manufacturer of the corresponding
material.
• This unit should not be used near flammable anaesthetics
or mixtures of flammable anaesthetics with air, oxygen or
nitrous oxide.
• Portable and mobile high-frequency communication
devices may interfere with medical equipment. The use of
mobile phones during operation is not allowed.
Safety notes
The bluephase C8 is a medical electronic device which is
subject to IEC 601-1 (EN 60601-1) and EMC standards (see
appendix). It complies with the relevant EU regulations.
The apparatus has been shipped from the manufacturer 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 Operating Instructions 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.
sage and liability
• bluephase C8 must only be employed for the intended
use. Any other uses are contraindicated. Liability cannot
be accepted for damage resulting from misuse or failure
to observe the Operating Instructions.
• The user is responsible for testing bluephase C8 for its
use and suitability for the intended purposes. This is parti-
cularly important if other equipment is used in the imme-
diate vicinity of bluephase at the same time.
• Use only original spare parts and accessories from Ivoclar
Vivadent (see Accessories). The manufacturer does not
accept any liability for damage resulting from the use of
other spare parts or accessories.
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.

9
Assumption of impaired safety
If it has to be assumed that safe operation is no longer pos-
sible, the power must be disconnected to avoid accidental
operation. This may be the case, for example, if the appara-
tus is visibly damaged or no longer works correctly. The
apparatus is only completely disconnected from the power
supply if the power cord has been pulled out of the plug-in
socket.
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. Therefore, using the supplied anti-
glare cones is recommended. Individuals who are generally
sensitive to light, who take photosensitizing drugs, have
undergone eye surgery, or people who work with the appa-
ratus or in its vicinity for long periods of time should not be
exposed to the light of this device Therefore, they should
wear protective goggles (orange) that absorb light below
515 nm.
Heat development
(burn hazard)
As it is the case with all high-performance lights, the high
light intensity results in a certain heat development. Pro-
longed exposure of areas near the pulp and soft tissues
may result in irreversible or reversible damage. Therefore,
the recommended curing times have to be observed. Unin-
terrupted curing times of more than 40 seconds on the
same tooth surface, as well as direct contact with the gingi-
va, oral mucous membrane or skin have to be prevented.
Polymerize indirect restorations at intermittent intervals of
20 seconds each or use external cooling with an air stream.

10
Start-up
Delivery form
Check the delivery for completeness and any possible trans-
portation damage (see Delivery form). If components are
missing or damaged, immediately contact your dealer or
your Service Center.
Before you switch on the device, make sure that the voltage
mentioned on the rating plate complies with your local
power supply. The rating plate is attached to the underside
of the power pack.
Connect the power cord with the power supply and the
power pack.

11
Handpiece
Before you insert the light probe, remove the protective foil
on the corresponding opening of the handpiece.
Slightly turn the light probe while attaching it to the hand-
piece.
After that, mount the anti-glare cone on the light probe.

12
Operation
Disinfect or autoclave contaminated surfaces of the curing
light as well as of the light probes and anti-glare cones
before each use. Furthermore, make sure that the stipulated
light intensity permits adequate polymerization. For this
purpose, check the light probe for contamination and dam-
age as well as the light intensity at regular intervals (e.g.
with the Ivoclar Vivadent radiometer “bluephase meter”).
Selecting the curing program and the
curing time
The curing program and the curing time can be individually
set. bluephase C8 is equipped with the following 3 curing
programs for the different indications. The desired curing
program is selected with the program selection buttons. The
display changes accordingly (see Indicators on the hand-
piece). The device comes equipped with the following pre-
set programs:
Factory settings
HIGH 15 seconds
(High Power)
LOW 10 seconds
(Low Power)
OFT 20 seconds
( oft start)
The intended curing time is selected
using the time selection buttons. Users
may choose between 5, 10, 15, 20 and
30 seconds.
Observe the Instructions for Use of the material applied
when selecting the curing time.
The curing recommendations for composite materials apply
to all shades and, if not mentioned otherwise in the Instruc-
tions for Use, to a maximum layer thickness of 2 mm. en-
erally, these recommendations apply to situations where the
emission window of the light probe 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 9 mm, the effective light output
is reduced by approx. 50%. In this case, the recommended
curing time has to be doubled.

Cure Memory function
The last settings used, together with the combination of
curing program and curing time, are automatically saved.
Start
The light is switched on by means of the start button. 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 button again. The fan is activated simulta-
neously to the light. Once the curing time has elapsed, the
fan continues to run for a certain time to cool the appara-
tus.
Acoustic signals
Acoustic signals can be heard for the following functions:
• Start (Stop)
• Every 10 seconds
• Program change
• Curing time change
• Error message
If desired, the volume of the acoustic signals can be adjusted.
For this purpose, press the blue volume button (see Product
overview) while the light is off and reduce the volume or
turn the acoustic signals off with the left time selection but-
ton. If you want to turn the acoustic signals back on or
increase the volume, press the blue volume button and then
the right time selection button.
Light intensity
The light intensity is maintained at a consistent level during
operation. If the supplied 10 mm light probe is used, the
light intensity has been calibrated to 800 mW/cm2± 10%.
Measuring the light intensity
The light intensity of the bluephase C8 and the enclosed
10 mm light probe can be checked by means of the blue-
phase meter.
If the measured value does not correspond with the expect-
ed light intensity, proceed as follows:
• Check the selected curing program
• Clean light sensor if it is contaminated
• Remove the light probe and clean the light emission
window of the handpiece with a cotton swab dipped in
alcohol.
• Clean light probe if it is contaminated (see Maintenance
and cleaning)
• Replace a damaged light probe with a new one
If these measures do not improve the results, please contact
your dealer or your local Service Center.
Start up

15
For reasons of hygiene, the use of a disposable protective
sleeve for each patient is recommended. Contaminated sur-
faces of the device as well as light probes and anti-glare
cones must be disinfected (e.g. FD333/Dürr Dental, Incidin
Liquid/Ecolab) or autoclaved before each use. Make sure
that no liquids or other foreign substances enter the hand-
piece, the handpiece holder and particularly the power pack
during cleaning (risk of electrical shock). Disconnect the
handpiece from the power source when cleaning it.
Housing
Wipe the handpiece and handpiece holder with a custom-
ary 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
50%), solvents (e.g. acetone), or pointed instruments, which
may damage or scratch the plastic. Clean dirty plastic parts
with a soap solution.
Light probes
Clean the light probe with a disinfectant and a soft cloth.
Carefully remove any possible material residue, such as
composite material, from the light probe with a fingernail
or a plastic spatula, for instance. Do not use sharp or point-
ed instruments, since they may scratch the surface of the
light probe and thus reduce light transmission. Light probes
and anti-glare cones may be autoclaved (e.g. 134 °C, 3 bar,
5 minutes). Check light probes for damage. If a light probe
is held against a light source and certain segments appear
black, then the glass fibres are broken. In this case, the light
probe has to be replaced with a new one.
Disposal
The apparatus must not be disposed of in normal domestic
waste. Dispose of unserviceable polymerization lights
according to the corresponding legal requirements in your
country.
Maintenance and cleaning

Error rectification
Allow the apparatus to cool down (or assume room temperature if it is
undercooled) and try again after a certain time. If the error persists,
please contact your dealer or your local Service Center.
Disconnect power pack from the power supply and then connect it again.
If the error reappears, please contact your dealer or your local
Service Center.

bar an der zahnärztlichen Behandlungseinheit. Zum
bestimmungsgemässen ebrauch gehört auch die Beach-
tung der Hinweise der vorliegenden Bedienungsanleitung.
Indikation
Die bluephase C8 eignet sich mit seinem Breitbandspek-
trum „polywave“ für die Polymerisation aller lichthärtenden
Dentalwerkstoffen im Wellenlängenbereich von 380–515 nm.
Hierzu zählen Füllungsmaterialien, Bondings/Adhäsive,
Unterfüllungen, Liner, Fissurenversiegler, Provisorien sowie
Befestigungsmaterialien für Brackets und zahntechnische
Werkstücke wie z.B. keramische Inlays.
Kontraindikationen
• Bei Materialien deren Polymerisation ausserhalb des Wel-
lenlängenbereichs von 380–515 nm aktiviert wird (der-
zeit sind hier jedoch keine Materialien bekannt.) Bei frag-
lichen Produkten wird empfohlen, sich diesbezüglich
beim Materialhersteller zu erkundigen.
• Das erät nicht in der Nähe entflammbarer Narkotika
oder Mischungen von entflammbaren Narkotika mit Luft,
Sauerstoff oder Stickstoffmonoxid verwenden.
• Tragbare und mobile Hochfrequenz-Kommunikationsein-
richtungen können medizinische eräte beeinflussen. So
ist eine gleichzeitige Verwendung von Mobiltelefonen
während des Betriebs nicht zulässig.
Sicherheitshinweise
Die bluephase C8 ist ein medizinisch elektrisches erät,
welches der IEC 601-1 (EN 60601-1) und der EMV Norm
unterliegt (siehe Anhang). Es erfüllt die geltenden EU-Richt-
linien.
Das erät hat das Werk in sicherem und technisch ein-
wandfreiem Zustand verlassen. Um diesen Zustand zu
erhalten und einen sicheren Betrieb zu ermöglichen, sind
die Hinweise dieser Bedienungsanleitung zu beachten. Zur
Vermeidung von Schäden sowie efahren für Patienten,
Anwender und Dritte gehören hierzu insbesondere folgende
Sicherheitshinweise:
Verwendungs- und Haftungsumfang
• Die bluephase C8 ist ausschliesslich nach dem bestim-
mungsgemässen ebrauch zu verwenden. Eine andere
oder darüber hinausgehende Benutzung gilt als nicht
bestimmungsgemäss. Für Schäden, die sich aus einer
nicht bestimmungsgemässen Verwendung oder nicht
sachgemässen Handhabung ergeben, übernimmt der
Hersteller keine Haftung.
• Der Benutzer ist verpflichtet, die bluephase C8 eigenver-
antwortlich vor ebrauch auf Eignung und Einsetzbarkeit
für die vorgesehenen Zwecke zu prüfen. Dies gilt insbe-
sondere, wenn in unmittelbarer Nähe und gleichzeitig
andere eräte betrieben werden.
• Es dürfen nur Originalersatzteile und -zubehör von Ivoclar
Vivadent eingesetzt werden (siehe Zubehör). Bei Schä-
den, die auf Verwendung anderer Ersatzteile sowie Zube-
hör zurückzuführen sind, übernimmt der Hersteller keine
Haftung.
Betriebsspannung
Vor dem Einschalten ist sicherzustellen, dass
a) die angegebene Spannung des Typenschildes mit der des
Versorgungsnetzes übereinstimmt und
b) das erät die Umgebungstemperatur angenommen hat.

21
Annahme beeinträchtigter Sicherheit
Wenn anzunehmen ist, dass ein gefahrloser Betrieb nicht
mehr möglich ist, so ist das erät von Netzspannung zu
trennen und gegen unabsichtlichen ebrauch zu sichern.
Dies kann z.B. bei sichtbarer Beschädigung oder einge-
schränktem Betrieb der Fall sein. Eine vollständige Trennung
vom Versorgungsnetz ist nur bei aus der Steckdose gezoge-
nem Netzkabel gewährleistet.
Augenschutz
Eine direkte oder indirekte Bestrahlung der Augen ist zu
vermeiden. Längere Bestrahlungen sind für das Auge unan-
genehm und können Schäden hervorrufen. Es wird deshalb
empfohlen, den mitgelieferten Blendschutz zu verwenden.
Personen, die allgemein lichtempfindlich reagieren, Medika-
mente wegen Lichtempfindlichkeit oder photosensibilisie-
rende Medikamente einnehmen, eine Augenoperation
hinter sich haben oder die sich über längere Zeit mit diesem
erät oder in seiner Nähe arbeiten, sollten dem Licht des
erätes nicht ausgesetzt werden und Schutzbrillen (orange)
tragen, die Licht unterhalb einer Wellenlänge von 515 nm
absorbieren.
Hohe Wärmeentwicklung
Verbrennungsgefahr)
Wie bei allen leistungsstarken Lampen ist die hohe Lichtin-
tensität mit einer Wärmeentwicklung verbunden. Bei länge-
rer Bestrahlung im pulpanahen Bereich oder von
Weichgewebe können irreversible oder reversible Schäden
auftreten. Deshalb sind die vorgeschriebenen Belichtungs-
zeiten zu beachten. Ununterbrochene Belichtungszeiten von
mehr als 40 Sekunden an derselben Zahnfläche sowie ein
direkter Kontakt mit ingiva, Mundschleimhaut oder Haut
sind dringend zu vermeiden. Bei indirekten Restaurationen
ist in intermittierenden Intervallen von je 20 Sekunden oder
durch externe Kühlung mittels Luftstrom zu arbeiten.
