Refer to Techical Data for charge times. Indicator will turn green
when unit is fully charged. Store light in charger when not in use.
NOTE: The AC/DC wall plug adapter provides power to the charger base. In
turn, the charger base provides power (at a lower voltage) to the Flashlite
LED Curing Light. These form a Medical Device System. The Flashlite Curing
Light device is used separately after fully charged.
Operation
The Flashlite LED Curing Light is supplied with the lens cap attached.
A button on the Flashlite LED Curing Light turns the light on and off.
Simply press the button once and release to activate or de-activate
the light. A clean barrier sleeve must be used for each new patient
use. Aim the beam at the area of the oral cavity in which clinical
treatment is intended and activate the light. Deactivate the light right
after treatment. Do not touch the tip to the patient especially during
and after activation of the light.
WARNING: The curing intensity of the FLASHlite LED Curing Light can
result in a buildup of heat around the tip of the device. In worst case
conditions (which included 32°C ambient conditions), tip temperatures
of 61°C (142°F) have been measured. Do not use on patients who
cannot give immediate and clear feedback to the clinician in the event
any elevated temperatures are causing pain. Use extreme caution if
using on patients with increased oral heat sensitivity or with conditions
or medications which might cause increased oral heat sensitivity. This
device is for professional use only.

Duty Cycle
Flashlite Magna 4.0 – Intermittent use of 10-20 second curing times
with twice the cooling time.
Flashlite 2.0 – Intermittent use of 10-20 second curing times with
twice the cooling time, or continuous for maximum of 2 minutes
curing with twice the cooling time.
The Flashlite LED Curing Light produces several audible signals
including:
• Flashlite Magna 4.0 Timing Beeps
Audible beeps will occur every five seconds during operation. After
20 seconds a long beep will sound and the light will automatically
shut off.
Audible beeps will occur every 10 seconds during operation: 1 beep
indicates 10 seconds, 2 beeps indicates 20 seconds, etc. The system
counts up to 6 beeps indicating 60 seconds and then repeats
starting with 1 beep. Unit will only shut off after manual press of
power button.
The lens cap should be inspected prior to each use for blemishes,
scratches, cracks or foreign substances that may impair the optical
output of the Flashlite LED Curing Light. It is recommended that the lens
cap be replaced every 2-4 weeks.
Barrier Sleeve
To provide optimum protection, a clean plastic barrier sleeve should be
used for each new patient.
Light Shield
To help block reflected light, the light shield can be attached to the
Flashlite LED Curing Light by assembling the shield over the tip and
sliding into place.
Tacking Tip (See Fig. 5)
Use a tacking tip to direct the light to cure only a small amount of
product (approximately 2mm radius). Align the wide end of the Tacking
Tip with the Lens Cap and use moderate pressure to push into place.
To avoid the possibility of the Tacking Tip falling off during use, make
certain that it is tightly and properly attached on the lens cap.
Note: The Tacking Tip is disposable and should be replaced after every use.
Cure Times
Due to the variation in VLC (visible light cured) materials, curing times
will differ. Review manufacturer product instructions for recommended
curing times. ALWAYS bench test new materials before use in vivo.
Curing Test Rings
DenMat recommends the following steps when using the enclosed
curing test rings for this purpose:
a. Fill the 2mm deep well of the test ring and level material.
b. Position the light transmitting element perpendicular to and
approximately 2mm-5mm above the top surface of the ring.
• With Flashlite LED lights (all models) start with
10-second exposures.
• With Sapphire PAC lights (all models) start with
5-second exposures.
• For all other curing lights; halogen, LED and other refer to
the manufacturer instructions. A minimum of 10-30 seconds
is recommended.
c. Use a dental probe to scrape test the hardness of the top
and bottom surfaces. The bottom surface should be as hard
as the top surface.
d. If the bottom surface is not completely cured repeat steps (b) to (c).
Repeat until the bottom surface is completely cured.
e. Maintain a log including material, shade and associated curing
exposure time. Use the log to monitor system performance.
Note: If a cavity preparation is deep, curing exposure times must also
be increased due to beam divergence and angular placement of the
light transmitting element to the restoration. An incremental filling
technique is recommended and each increment should be fully cured
prior to applying additional layers.

Charger with Built in Radiometer
To charge, place the Flashlite LED Curing Light into the charger base
contact side down. (See Fig. 3) The light indicator (See Fig. 4) on the
charger base will provide you with the information needed:
• Amber Light – Unit is charging
• Green Light – Unit is fully charged
Note: Even if the light is indicating a charging status (amber light), the
Flashlite LED Curing Light can be used.
For optimal performance, place the Flashlite LED Curing Light back in
charger base when not in use.
Measuring Output Intensity
Light intensity can be measured using the radiometer built into the
charging base (See Fig. 4). To measure the intensity of the light being
emitted from the unit, place the lens tip directly onto the black
aperture located on the charger base. Activate the Flashlite LED
Curing Light by pressing the on/off button. The number of indicator
lights that illuminate will identify the output of the light:
• 4 lights: 100% of the light intensity available
• 3 lights: 80%of the light intensity available
• 2 lights: 60%of the light intensity available
• 1 light: 40%of the light intensity available
Note: If only 3 lights are illuminated, try tilting the Flashlite at a slight angle
to illuminate all 4 lights.
