1. Introduction and General Information
Introduction
The Kreativ Kuring and Bleaching Center is a high-intensity, filtered light
source and optical delivery system. It produces curing light for photoactivated dental composites (400-505nm), and photo-activated bleaching
formulations (400-545nm) at four times the rate of conventional light
systems. The Kreativ Kuring Light cures photo-activated dental materials,
such as those used in direct restorations, sealants, bonding agents, and
primers.

Every attempt has been made to make this manual a comprehensive
overview of the Kreativ Kuring Light system.
you read this manual thoroughly before you attempt to set up or use
the equipment
.
Purpose of this Manual

general information. Also included in this chapter is a functional
description of the unit, which includes a diagram of all user interfaces,
controls, and related items.
Chapter Two is a listing of all product Warnings and Cautions. Warnings
relate to issues that could be harmful to either the user or the patient, while
Cautions cover issues that could unnecessarily damage the equipment.
Please pay special attention to this chapter
It is very important that
.
Chapter Three covers the initial unpacking, set-up, and operational
verification of the unit. This section should also be referred to whenever
Page 3 990208 Rev D
the unit is moved from one location to another or stored for extended
periods of time.
Chapter Four is an operational description of the Kreativ Kuring Light.
Chapter Five covers recommended methods of sterilizing and cleaning the
system.
Chapter Six provides preventive maintenance and troubleshooting
procedures. Also included is a replacement part and accessory list for reordering your supplies.
Chapter Seven is the warranty policy for the Kreativ Kuring Light.
General Information and Features
The Kreativ Kuring Light offers the benefit of a rapid cure at a lesser
entry, operation, and maintenance expense than an argon laser. Kreativ
has developed a light source that combines long life and high lumen output
within the spectral bandwidths required for both composite polymerization
and power bleaching.
The unit uses a proprietary lamp to produce energy in the visible spectrum.
This light energy is passed through special dichroic band-pass filters that
pass energy in either the 400-505nm (composite curing) or 400-545nm
(power bleaching) range. This custom filtering delivers the bandwidth of
light matching the response curve for the photo-initiators in photocured
dental material or bleach activation.
Other features of the Kreativ Kuring Light include:
