MANUAL OF UNSE AND MAINTENANCE
04.4 - Instructions of use
1 Check if the scaler is setted with the power at maximum.
2 Check that the Water function is OFF or that the water tap is closed.
3 Press the scaler footswitch.
4 An exposure cycle starts. The device emitts an acoustic signal
every 10 seconds.
4 In the first seconds of exposure, avoid contact between the tip of
the optical fibre and the composite that has not yet polymerised.
5 In order to finish the exposure cycle just release the scaler
footswitch.
NOTE: Deposits of composite material adhering to and polymerised
to the surface of the tip of the optical fibre lower the amount of light
transmitted and will therefore prejudice subsequent polymerisation
operations.
NOTE: Additional exposure cycles.
At the end of each exposure it is possible to carry out other cycles by
pressing each time the scaler footswitch.
04.5 - Safety protection
In the event of extremely heady duty use, with long and repeated
exposure cycles, a thermal protection device is triggered automati-
cally. An acoustic signal (3 beeps) will be heard. This protection de-
vice will temporarily prevent use of the lamp for a few minutes.
05.0 - CLEANING, DISINFECTION, STERILISATION
05.1 - Cleaning and disinfecting the Starlight p
handpiece
DANGER: The handpiece is not protected against the pen-
etration of liquids.
DANGER: Do not spray liquids directly onto its surface or
onto the electric contacts.
DANGER: The handpiece should not be sterilised.
Proceed as follows after each treatment:
1 Remove the optical fibre and optical protection from the hand-
piece.
2 Clean and disinfect the surface of the handpiece using a cloth
moistened with a solution of mild detergent/disinfectant having a
neutral pH (pH = 7). Follow carefully the instructions provided by
the manufacturer of the disinfectant solution. Allow the disinfect-
ant solution to dry in air before using the handpiece again. Above
all, make sure that the electric contacts are completely dry.
NOTE: Water-based disinfectants with a neutral pH are strongly rec-
ommended. Some alcohol-based disinfectant solutions may be harmful
and cause damage to plastic materials.

MANUAL OF USE AND MAINTENANCE
05.2 - Sterilisation procedure
WARNING: Carry out sterilisation only in a steam autoclave
at a maximum temperature of 135° for 20 minutes.
Do not use any other sterilisation procedures (dry heat, radiation, eth-
ylene oxide, gas, low-temperature plasma, etc.).
DANGER: Infection control - Sterilisable parts.
To avoid infection caused by bacteria or viruses, always clean the
following components after each treatment:
1 Optical fibre;
2 Optical protection.
NOTE: All the stages of sterilisation should be followed by the opera-
tor, in accordance with EN standard 554.
05.3 - Cleaning, disinfection e sterilisation of the optical
fibre
WARNING: Do not use sharp-edged objects to clean the opti-
cal fibre.
Carry out the following operations:
1 Eliminate any residues of polymerised composites from the sur-
face of the optical fibre with alcohol.
2 Disinfect the surface using a cloth moistened with a solution of
mild detergent/disinfectant having a neutral pH (pH=7).
3 Dry.
4 Seal the optical fibre in a disposable bag on its own.
5 The optical fibre should autoclave sterilised for 20 minutes at a
maximum temperature of 135°C.
05.4 - Cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation of the
optical protection
WARNING: Do not use sharp-edged objects to clean the opti-
cal protection.
Proceed as follows:
1 Clean and disinfect the surface using a cloth moistened with a
solution of mild detergent/disinfectant having a neutral pH (pH=7).
2 Dry.
3 Seal the optical protection in a disposable bag on its own.
4 The optical protection should be autoclave sterilised for 20 min-
utes at a maximum temperature of 135°C.
