2.2 Precautions
This product is intended to be used only as specifically outlined in these Instructions for Use .
Any use of this product inconsistent with these Instructions for Use is at the discretion and sole
responsibility of the dental practitioner .
• Do not use a handpiece and attachment which has not been properly processed . Protect the
handpiece and attachment from gross contamination by applying the single-use, FDA-cleared
SmartLite Pro EndoActivator™ Barrier Sleeve . Barrier sleeves are non-sterile and intended for
single-use only . Discard after use . Do not reuse sleeves in other patients in order to prevent
cross-contamination .
• Do not attempt to negotiate or force tip into strongly curved canals to their full working
length . Tip fracture may occur . Do not bend the tip excessively to avoid motor stalling or
obstructing tip oscillation .
• Do not remove the tip from the root canal while still oscillating to avoid splashing of liquid .
• Do not apply the barrier sleeve too tightly over the attachment head to avoid motor stalling or
obstructing tip oscillation . Briefly check proper tip operation outside the patient`s mouth before
intraoral use .
• Use only Dentsply Sirona supplied power supply, power cord, charging base and battery . Use
of any accessories other than specified in this Instructions for Use may result in damage to the
handpiece and its components as well as unpredictable performance .
• Do not use adjacent to or stacked on other equipment . If adjacent or stacked use is necessary,
closely watch system and its components to verify normal operation in this configuration .
• Do not autoclave the handpiece, attachment or activator tips . Sterilizing will cause component
damage and may cause bodily injury .
• Barrier sleeves and activator tips are designed for single use only . The barrier sleeves are ready for
use . Do not attempt to reprocess for reuse .
• Stabilize attachment head when attaching or removing activator tip to limit lateral force applied to
handpiece connection . Excessive force may damage the connection between attachment
and handpiece .
