3.5.5. Selecting the type of instrument
In parallel, the user will be able to choose the type of instrument.
The iCare+ device is designed to enable the treatment of 2 models of dental rotary instruments:
Dental devices with only one drive channel Dental devices with 2 channels: W/A + drive channels
All the different instruments that can be treated with iCare+ device are mentioned in the following table:
Table 1: List of different treatable instruments per model
Standard setting of iCare+ is designed for internal spray instruments. To make the selection for external or without spray instrument, it is necessary to push simultaneously the “ext/WO button” and the button corresponding to the position of the instrument without or external spray.
For example to change the model of instrument 2, the operator will have to press simultaneously the button "ext W/O” and the button 2; see on Figure 21 below. The LED "ext W/O", near button 2, is now lit to inform the operator that the instrument 2 is an instrument without spray or with external spray.
iCare+ Operation Manual 10-8-1 p. 25
Figure 21: iCare+ device with lit W/O LEDs
In parallel of the function of external spray instrument, the unit can control if there is a mistake for the programming of the button SPRAY or if a channel is blocked.
For example, if the user selects an instrument as an external spray instrument (but in reality, the instrument has an internal spray), the unit is able to detect it.
As a reverse case, if the user connects an instrument with external spray without using the button “ext W/O” (to select external spray: “ext-w/o” LED), the unit is able to detect that the selection is wrong because this instrument has external spray.
To inform the user of these problems, the unit will stop and the Air LED will blink, with a “BIP” signal heard. In parallel, the concerning instrument is indicated by white LED blinking (oil indicator and/or ext-WO LEDs).
To restart the unit, first open the door, remove the instrument (to reduce the remaining pressure) reconnect the instrument, and then close the door.
If the problem happens again, remove the handpieces and push the button “Start”.
Check the instruments (in case of possible blocked channels).
iCare+ Operation Manual 10-8-1 p. 26
START button allows starting the programmed cycle for the selected
instruments. If a problem happens, or that you wish to stop the unit during a cycle, START button allows also stopping the unit by a long press. The cycle is then stopped, the settings and selections are kept and the machine stays on standby. By pressing again the START button, the cycle is re-launched from the beginning with the same settings.
If the door is open while the unit is on standby, the settings and selections
are initialized.
If the user needs to stop the cycle during process, a long press on “START” button
will stop the unit.
When the “Mode” light indicator (small/big amount of Oil) is switched off,
the connection (1, 2, 3 or 4) is not selected
Just after purchasing iCare+ device, or after a long period of no use, run the
device empty (without instruments)
Figure 22: Launching the treatment cycle
3.5.6. Launching the cycle
Once the program is chosen, press START button to launch the cycle (see Figure 22).
A series of LEDs, positioned on the Control panel and on the treatment chamber, indicates the progress of the cycle:
