2.2.3 Working clearances

Recommended working clearances between portable and mobile RF communication devices and the UNIT

The UNIT is intended for operation in an electromagnetic environment, where radiated RF interference is checked. The customer or the user of the UNIT can help prevent electromagnetic interference by duly observing the minimum distances between portable and/or mobile RF communication devices (transmitters) and the UNIT. These values may vary according to the output power of the relevant communication device as specified below.

For transmitters whose maximum nominal output is not specified in the above table, the recommended working clearance d in meters (m) can be determined using the equation in the corresponding column, where P is the maximum nominal output of the transmitter in watts (W) specified by the transmitter manufacturer.

Remark 1
An additional factor of 10/3 is applied when calculating the recommended working clearance between transmitters in the 80 MHz to 2.3 GHz frequency range in order to reduce the probability that a mobile/portable communication device unintentionally brought into the patient area could lead to interference.

Remark 2
These guidelines may not be applicable in all cases. The propagation of electromagnetic waves is influenced by their absorption and reflection by buildings, objects and persons.

2 Safety instructions 2.3 Electrostatic charge

ESD ESD protective measures

2.3 Electrostatic charge
2.3.1 ESD protective measures
ESD stands for ElectroStatic Discharge.
ESD protective measures include:  Procedures for preventing electrostatic charge build-up (e.g. air
conditioning, air moistening, conductive floor coverings and nonsynthetic clothing)  Discharging the electrostatic charges of your own body on the frame of the UNIT, the protective ground wire or large metallic objects  Connecting yourself to ground using a wrist band.

Training

We therefore recommend that all persons working with this system be instructed on the significance of this warning label. Furthermore, they also should receive training in the physics of electrostatic discharges which can occur in the practice and the destruction of electronic components which may result if such components are touched by electrostatically charged USERS.
The content of this training is explained in the Chapter "About the physics of electrostatic charges" [ 17].

2.3.2 About the physics of electrostatic charges

What is an electrostatic charge? Formation of an electrostatic charge

An electrostatic charge is a voltage field on and in an object (e.g. a human body) which is protected against conductance to ground potential by a nonconductive layer (e.g. a shoe sole).
Electrostatic charges generally build up whenever two bodies are rubbed against each other, e.g. when walking (shoe soles against the floor) or driving a vehicle (tires against the street pavement).

Amount of charge
6745173 D3691 D3691.201.01.01.02 04.2021

The amount of charge depends on several factors:
Thus the charge is higher in an environment with low air humidity than in one with high air humidity; it is also higher with synthetic materials than with natural materials (clothing, floor coverings).
Electrostatic discharge must be preceded by electrostatic charging.
The following rule of thumb can be applied to assess the transient voltages resulting from an electrostatic discharge.
An electrostatic discharge is:  perceptible at 3,000 V or higher  audible at 5,000 V or higher (cracking, crackling)  visible at 10,000 V or higher (arc-over)
The transient currents resulting from these discharges have a magnitude of 10 amperes. They are not hazardous for humans because they last for only several nanoseconds.

2 Safety instructions 2.4 Connecting the unit

Dentsply Sirona Instructions for Use Primeprint

Background

Integrated circuits (logical circuits and microprocessors) are used to implement a wide variety of functions in dental/X-ray/CAD/CAM systems.
The circuits must be miniaturized to a very high degree in order to include as many functions as possible on these chips. This leads to structure thicknesses as low as a few ten thousandths of a millimeter.
It is obvious that integrated circuits which are connected to plugs leading outside of the unit via cables are sensitive to electrostatic discharge.
Even voltages which are imperceptible to the user can cause breakdown of the structures, thus leading to a discharge current which melts the chip in the affected areas. Damage to individual integrated circuits may cause malfunction or failure of the system.

To prevent this from happening, the ESD warning label next to the plug warns of this hazard. ESD stands for ElectroStatic Discharge.
Connector pins or sockets bearing ESD warning labels must not be touched or interconnected without ESD protective measures.

2.4 Connecting the unit
Perform connection by following the directions given in the present operating instructions.

2.5 Connection of external equipment
If any devices not approved by Dentsply Sirona are connected, they must comply with the applicable standards (see "Standards/ approvals/ certifications [ 20]").

2.6 Ventilation slots

Under no circumstances may the ventilation slots on the rear of the unit be covered, since otherwise the air circulation will be obstructed. This can cause the unit to overheat.

Do not spray into the ventilation slots

Do not spray liquids such as disinfectants into the ventilation slots. This may lead to malfunctions. Use wipe disinfection only in the vicinity of the ventilation slots.

CAUTION
Status LED illuminated in red In the event of any faults, the status bar lights up red.  Turn off the machine at the main switch before you reach into the
processing area. You can restart the machine once the error is eliminated.
CAUTION
Do not use the component In rare cases where the component falls from the build platform, it is recommended to carefully remove the component from the Primeprint unit or the transport container using the tweezers supplied with the Primeprint PPU. Because it cannot be excluded that the component has not been fully printed, this component must not be used.
CAUTION
Do not use faulty printed objects Faulty printed objects must not be used.
2.8 Material-specific safety instructions
CAUTION
Handling printed materials For general handling of the printed materials, please refer to the safety data sheet of the manufacturer. The materials must be handled properly and in compliance with all manufacturer's specifications and local legal requirements.
Independent of the specific requirements in the safety data sheet of the material, we recommend wearing protective goggles, protective clothing and gloves during maintenance and cleaning.

The Dentsply Sirona 3D printer is designed to produce threedimensional dental applications from printable viscous materials. It hereby represents a part of an overall system of Computer Aided Imaging (data acquisition), Computer Aided Design (modelling of the application) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (production).
The product only covers the initial manufacturing process. For this purpose, a light-curing process is used to produce three-dimensional objects layer-by-layer in a single operation using a projection unit and printable viscous materials from specific material cartridges.
The subsequent washing and post-exposure treatment that is to be carried out in the associated post-processing unit after this printing process is not part of the product.
The data preparation (alignment, positioning, slicing etc.) is part of an additional CAM software and, like the material used (printable viscous material), is not part of the product.
CAUTION
Follow the instructions If the instructions for operating the unit described in this document are not observed, the intended protection of the user may be impaired.
CAUTION
Federal Law (USA) restricts the sale of this device to or on the order of a physician, dentist, or licensed practitioner.
3D printing process
CAUTION
The Primeprint 3D printer processes light-curing plastics. These are not finally polymerized before and after the machining process and require further post-processing. The materials can lead to injuries if they are not fully cured. Observe the safety data sheets of the materials used and use the corresponding and named accessories (Primeprint PPU) for the post-processing of the printing results. For cleaning the print results, observe the safety data sheets of the materials used. These can be obtained from the respective material manufacturer.
The post-processing of all materials validated in the Dentsply Sirona Primeprint 3D printer is performed with the Primeprint PPU of the Dentsply Sirona, REF 6745561 in a validated post-processing process. Observe the separate operating instructions (REF 6745272).
NOTE
Observe local regulations for the disposal of all operating materials such as cartridges, gloves, and cleaning supplies associated with use of the Primeprint 3D printer.

IMPORTANT
If the machine is in "Auto IP settings" mode and does not detect any active DHCP server, the IP address is automatically reset to 192.168.230.1. With the help of a direct connection to a PC, you can then add and manage the machine again via the "Add Device (Manual)" function.
Firmware download
Each CAD/CAM unit of the Dentsply Sirona requires a firmware version that is compatible with the respective version of the inLab CAM software.
You start the download of the appropriate firmware for Primeprint via this button.
IMPORTANT
If a unit does not have the correct firmware version, this is in fact detected by the software, yet it cannot be used for production. It is indicated as "invalid firmware" both in the device management and in the production phase.

6.2 Production process
3D printing is done on the build platform, which is placed in the 3D printer with the Primeprint material unit.
6.2.1 Equipping the Primeprint material unit
The Primeprint material unit consists of the lower material unit vat and the upper material unit cover. The desired cartridge is inserted into the Primeprint material unit. The cartridge is supplied with a material unit sticker, which is applied to the left side of the material unit vat. This allows a visual classification of the vat and significantly simplifies operation later on. The cartridge must be preconditioned before it is inserted into the material unit. First, shake the cartridge for about 10 seconds so that the contents are well mixed. The sealing film of the cartridge must then be removed to vent the cartridge.
6.2.2 Loading with material unit
CAUTION
Risk of injury when reaching into the build chamber There is the risk of cut and crush injuries caused by sharp edges and movable parts.  Be sure not to touch the sharp edges and movable parts.
During each change, ensure clean contact surfaces of all parts; otherwise, the fixation and the correct positioning cannot be guaranteed. Depending on your choice of materials, also follow the processing instructions of the manufacturer.
NOTE
Make sure that you only process material whose expiration date has not passed.
To load the 3D printer with the Primeprint material unit, follow these steps: ü The job is shown on the touch display and you are prompted to
insert the appropriate material unit. 1. Follow the instructions of the 3D printer on the display.
