3.3 Functional description
The IvoBase Injector has been developed for the IvoBase System and
allows an automated and controlled injection process. The injector
may be used for both self-curing and heat-curing polymers. The
integrated heater permits the flask to be heated up to 120 °C
(248 °F). With the controlled and automated injection, high-quality
products with outstanding physical properties can be fabricated.
The injection process taking place in the IvoBase Injector can be
basically divided into four stages (see image):
1. Dough stage: During this stage, the material changes to an
injectable consistency.
2. Injection phase: During this stage, the material is injected into the
flask by means of a forward movement of the injection head.
3. Polymerization stage: The controlled heat supply initiates the
polymerization with shrinkage compensation.
4. Cooling stage: During the cooling stage, the system normalizes
the temperature and the tension.

6.2 Loading
To load the IvoBase Injector, proceed as follows:
Please read the following processing notes
carefully.
– Make absolutely sure that both flask halves have cooled to room
temperature before injection. A temperature of >30 °C (>86 °F)
jeopardizes controlled polymerization and might lead to
inaccuracies of fit.
– When working with self-curing materials, make sure that as little
time as possible lies between mixing the material and injection.
A lit warning light (5) indicates that the injector tempera-
ture is high during loading or removal and, therefore,
there is a burn hazard (>45 °C/>113 °F).
Always use the thermal glove supplied when
removing the flask from the injector!
6.3 Starting the injection process
For practical use, please observe the Instructions for Use
of the respective material!
Step 1:
Select the desired program (P1 to P20) using the program or cursor

The injector may only be cleaned when it is cool, since
there is a burn hazard. Do not use any cleaning
solutions. Disconnect the power to the injector before
cleaning.
The following parts have to be cleaned from time to time:
WhatWhenCleaning material
Injector housing and
membrane-sealed keypad
Safety doorif requiredsoft cloth
if requiredsoft, dry cloth
Step 2:
Clean the IvoBase polymerization chamber, heater and temperature
sensor while they are cold. Please make sure that the contact surfaces of the heater and the temperature sensor are clean.
Step 3:
Close the flask with the locking
clamps and attach a measuring
point to the spot on the left flask
half shown in the picture (see
picture). It is important that the
exact position is observed. Only in
this way can correct measuring
values be achieved.
Step 4 :
Load the IvoBase Injector with the test flask and close the safety
do or.
Step 5:
Select the heater test program with the „Settings“ key. Confirm
your selection with the Enter key.
Step 6:
Start the test program using the
Start key. The flask is heated to
100 °C / 212 °F for approximately
10 minutes. The remaining time is
indicated in the display. The
Operating Status Display is not
illuminated during the heating
phase.
Important: The door must not be
opened during the test. If this is
not observed, the test program is
immediately aborted.

7.6 Heater test
The heater test is used to check the observance of the temperature
in the IvoBase Injector independently and at regular intervals.
For that purpose, proceed as follows:
Step 1:
Fabricate a test flask that is
exclusively filled with stone
(without model – see Fig. 1). If the
stone in the flask set a longer
while ago and is dry, the flask has
to be soaked in water before the
test.
Step 7:
After the program is completed,
the message „Hint 1970“ appears
in the display, with the prompt to
determine the temperature now.
The acoustic signal can be
switched off with the ESC key.
Step 8 :
Open the safety door and conduct the measurement. In order to
obtain the most reliable result, conduct several measurements in
close succession. The available time window for that purpose is
60 seconds. This time must not be exceeded, since the flask would
cool down too much and the measurement would be skewed.
Important: The sensor of the
IR thermometer must be held as
closely as possible to the
measuring point (see picture).
However, a small air gap should
be present. Measurements directly
on the metal surface without
measuring point are not
admissible, since these
measurement can be skewed by
reflections.
21
Step 9:
Analyze the measurement. The measuring results must be in the
following temperature range:
– Min.: 90 °C / 194 °F
– Max.: 110 °C / 230 °F
If the measured value is not within this range, please contact your
Ivoclar Vivadent Service Centre.
Step 10 :
Press the Stop key to end the test. After that, remove the
flask from the injector and remove the measuring point.
7.7 Service Hint
When the Service Hint is displayed for the first time ( Hint 1700),
3 years have passed or 10,000 cycles have been carried out. Therefore, Ivoclar Vivadent recommends having a maintenance procedure
performed on the injector. The interval until the next appearance of
the Service Hint can be changed in the Settings (see Section 5.4.1).
7.8 Information about transport protection
In order to transport the Ivobase Injector, the clamps must be
brought into a transport position. This function can be activated in
the Settings (see Chapter 5.4 Settings and information).

8.2 Resin leaks from the flask
Under certain circumstances – e.g. if the filter component was forgotten to be placed in the flask (see Instructions for Use of the
corresponding materials) – resin may leak from the flask during
injection. This results in contamination of the heating shoes or the
temperature sensor. Please proceed as follows in such cases:
8.2.1 Cleaning the heater
Step 1:
Dismounting the heater: Proceed as described in section 7.3 of
these Operating Instructions.
Step 2:
The heater consists of two heating elements. Loosen both screws
on one of the two heating elements. One screw (a) must be completely loosened and removed. Subsequently, this heating element
can simply be swivelled away from the the remaining element.
Polymerized resin material can then be easily removed from the
heater (see image).
a)
Step 3:
After having cleaned the heater, mount it in the injector again.
Swivel the heating element back to its original position and tighten
the screw that was previously removed (see image). To insert the
heater, proceed as described in Section 7.3.
8.3 Resin leaks from the injection head
In case of a malfunction, resin may
leak from the material capsule
during injection (e.g. if the plunger is tilted in the material capsule
– see image). If leaked and
polymerized material is deposited
in the material capsule, the injection head may get stuck in the
capsule, since it is not fixedly connected with the plunger.
If this is the case, proceed as
follows:
Step 1:
Wait until the program has
ended and the plunger has
moved all the way down.
Step 2:
Remove the injection head of the material capsule and completely
remove the material.
Wait until the material has completely set /
polymerized before removing it.
8.2.2 Cleaning the temperature sensor
Step 1:
Dismounting the temperature sensor. Proceed as described in section 7.4 of these Operating Instructions.
Step 2:
Carefully remove the material
from the temperature sensor.
Step 3:
Remount the temperature sensor
in the injector (see 7.4)
Wait until the material is completely set/
polymerized before removing it.
Step 3:
Replace the injection head in the plunger. The head is pushed in –
there is no screw connection to the plunger.
Wait until the material has completely set /
polymerized before removing it.
To insert the injection head in the plunger, dampen
the rubber rings of the injection head.
