for any other purpose.
2. NOTE: Exercise extreme caution when using this product in the presence of a ammable anesthetic mixture or an oxidizer like oxygen or nitrous oxide.
3. is LED curing unit produces a high-output of light energy. A signicant increase in light energy is possible when compared to equipment previously used. It is important to observe the following precautions and
procedures:
• Do not place light directly on or towards unprotected gingiva or skin.
• Adjust curing techniques in accordance with the increase in light energy.
• Do not look directly at the light emitted from this LED curing unit. Do not use this device without suitable
eye protection for the operator, assistant and patient.
• Person(s) having a history of photosensitive reactions or who are using photosensitizing drugs should not be
exposed to light from this LED curing unit.

IMPORTANT
• Batteries must be charged prior to use.
• e ber-optic light guide is provided in a non-sterile condition and must be sterilized prior to
patient contact.
INTRODUCTION
e Slimax LED (Light Emitting Diode) is a cordless pen style curing light used for the polymerization of
light-cured dental material used by dental professionals. It is powered by a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery
pack. is curing light system from Beyes Dental Canada Inc. generates a powerful output up to 2000 mW/cm
(± 10%). e curing procedure for composite materials is easier and quicker than ever before with the options
of 5, 10, 15 and 20 seconds curing time. Users can either select Full Power, Ramping Power or Pulse. is slim,
light weight curing light is ergonomically designed for user’s comfort and exibility. It’s solid aluminum body
sets it apart from the mass of plastic competitors. e quality, durability, and ease of applied infection control
techniques make this curing unit a state of the art instrument. e curing light (Slimax-C) comes in four different colors, Pink, Silver, Blue, and Purple.

Boost and Regular Light Output :
e Slimax Curing Light oers you two tiers of light intensity to meet your daily needs
LP = Regular Output 1400 mW/cm2 ± 10%
HP = Boost Output 2000 mW/cm2 ± 10%
Select Output:
1. Press button “2” continuously
2. Press button “1” to select HP or LP
RECOMMENDED CURING TIME BASE ON THE BOOST POWER
Due to the high light output of the Slimax Curing Light System, the normal exposure times for conventional
units can be cut in half without compromising polymerization performance.
Beyes Dental Canada TESTING INDICATES THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED CURING TIMES:
Universal composite shades A3 and lighter (2-mm depth).....................5 seconds
Universal composite shades A3.5 and darker............................................10 seconds
Bonding agents, universal resin luting cements

MAINTAINENCE: CLEANING / DISINFECTING / STERILIZATION
(Your Slimax unit is maintenance-free. No periodic maintenance is required)
Manual Cleaning and Disinfection of the Light Guide
•
Place the light guide for the specied application time into the solution, making sure that it is
completely covered (as needed, using ultrasonic support or careful brushing with a so brush).
A neutral enzymatic cleaning agent is recommended.
•
Remove the light guide from the solution and rinse thoroughly (at least 10 seconds) in water with
low germ count.
•
To disinfect; place the cleaned light guide for the specied application time into the solution, making sure that it is completely covered. Please note: Disinfectants containing o-phthalaldehyde are
recommended.
•
Remove the light guide from the solution and rinse thoroughly (at least 10 seconds) in water with
low germ count.
•
Dry the light guide with a clean so cloth.
Steam Sterilization
•
Check the light guide.
•
Eective cleaning and disinfection are absolutely essential requirements for eective sterilization.
Only steam sterilization is approved.
•
Maximum sterilization temperature is 134 °C (273 °F)
•
Sterilization time (exposure time at sterilization temperature) at least 20 min. at 121°C (250 °F) or
at least 3 min. at 132 °C (270 °F) /134 °C (273 °F)
Check
•
Before using the light guide again, check it for damaged surfaces and discoloration;
do not use damaged light guides.
How to Clean Charger, Main board, and Glare Shield
•
To disinfect all components, spray the disinfectant on a towel and use it to disinfect the unit. Do
not spray the disinfectant directly on the Curing Light Controller or the Charger.
•
Disinfection agents must not enter the unit.
•
Clean the protecting glass of the Curing Light Controller with a so and lint-free cloth.
•
Dry residual disinfectants on the charger, the Curing Light controller and the glare Shield with a
so and lint-free cloth.
•
Solvents or abrasive cleaners should not be used at any time for cleaning any of the Curing Light
System components!
•
Cleaning agents must not enter the Curing Light Controller.
•
Make sure that the charge contact pins remain dry and are not contacted by metallic or greasy
parts.
•
Care must be taken to avoid bending the charge contact pins during drying. Wet charge contact
pins will cause an operating error (malfunction message: the LED showing the operating status in
the charger glows red steadily).
Storage of the Slimax during Extended Periods of Non-Use
•
If the Slimax is not being used for an extended period of time - e. g., during vacation - fully charge
the battery prior to departure or keep the Curing Light Controller inserted in the operational
charger. A safety switch within the battery prevents a total discharge.
•
Discharged or nearly discharged batteries must be recharged as soon as possible.
