The PointCure Lens concentrates the light into a 2.5 mm aperture. This is ideal for point curing (tacking) veneers and all porcelain crowns.
Supports the matrix and aids in convex proximal contact before and during partial light polymerization.
Provides longer wavelength light to transilluminate the teeth to aid in visualization of cracks, fractures, defects, etc.
Aids in visualization of fractures, cracks, or defects in teeth by illuminating the teeth from the lingual and observing shadows.
In Black Light Diagnostic Aid Mode, the diffuser lens gives visual aid of fluorescent particles in various dental resins.
In White Light Diagnostic Aid Mode, the Diffuser Lens gives visual aid for whenever the dental professional may need a source of natural light, e.g., determining shade.
The VALO X curing light can be used in a corded or cordless configuration using the Ultradent VALO X rechargeable batteries or provided VALO X cord adapter.
To remove batteries for charging or replacement, remove the cap at the base of the curing light with a counterclockwise turn. Insert dead battery/cells in the provided Ultradent VALO Battery Charger with medical grade 9VDC AC power adapter in the orientation shown in the charger. Battery/cells will be fully charged in 1–3 hours.
To avoid the risk of electrical fire associated with handling of batteries:
To avoid the risk of injury, DO NOT use batteries that are corroded (rust), dented, emit an odor or fluid, have a torn or missing wrapping, or are otherwise damaged. Call Ultradent Customer Service (1.888.230.1420) to order replacement batteries/cells.
The VALO X curing light is a sealed unit with a hard surface and a scratch-resistant glass lens. Clean after each use. Refer to the instructions for use for full cleaning procedure.
Routinely check the lens for cured dental resins. If necessary, use a plastic or stainless steel dental instrument to carefully remove any adhered resin.
To help prevent cross-contamination and help keep dental composite material from adhering to the surface of the lens and wand body, a barrier sleeve must be used over the VALO X curing light with each use.
An extended exposure time is required to fully reprocess your device if the VALO X curing light comes in contact with a patient’s tissues. To reprocess your device, the following exposure times are required: 70% isopropyl alcohol—exposure time 4 minutes; 70% ethanol—exposure time 5 minutes. A barrier sleeve should always be used as frequent reprocessing is not recommended.
