1. Safety Instructions
ATTENTION! Read these Operating Instructions carefully before plugging in
and operating the unit! As with all technical units, the trouble-free function and
safe operation of this unit can be assured only if standard safety procedures
and the special safety instructions in these Operating Instructions are observed.
3M Deutschland GmbH guarantees trouble-free operation of the
Pentamix system only if 3M ESPE system components are used
exclusively.
1. The unit may be used only in strict accordance with the following
instructions. We accept no liability for any damage arising from any other
or improper use of this unit.
2. If the unit is moved from a cold into a warm environment, condensation
can result in a hazardous situation. Never begin operating the unit until it
has reached the ambient temperature.
3. The power plug must be connected into a suitably grounded socket
before the unit is operated. If an extension cable is used, make sure that
it also provides a ground wire.
4. Position the unit so that the power plug is accessible at all times.
5. The unit must be placed either on a non-slip, level surface or mounted to
a sufficiently stable wall to insure stable placement.
6. Use only Penta
™
materials in foil bags in combination with the Penta
cartridges and Penta
™
mixing tips.
7. Close the cover of the unit before operating.
8. Do not lock the "Start" button as this can lead to hazardous situations
and undesired continuous operation.
9. Always turn off the unit and disconnect the plug from the power source
before changing the plunger discs.
10. When changing the plunger discs, position the smooth side of the
new discs towards the foil bag (the opposite side of the discs with the
fan-shaped depressions must face away). Otherwise, the foil bag might
be damaged.
11. To avoid electrical shock, do not insert any objects into the unit.
12. Use only genuine 3M ESPE parts when replacing defective components
as directed in these Operating Instructions. We assume no liability for
any damage caused by the use of non-3M ESPE parts.
13. If, for any reason, it is possible that the safety of a unit has been
compromised, that unit must be removed from operation and identified
in such a way that it is not inadvertently operated again by a third party.
Safety may have been compromised, for example, if the unit does not
work as specified or is visibly damaged.
14. Keep solvents, flammable liquids, and powerful heat sources away from
the unit as they may damage the plastic housing.
15. Do not allow any cleaning agents to enter the unit during cleaning as
they could cause an electrical short or a dangerous malfunction.
16. Only a properly trained, authorized technician may open the unit housing
and repair the unit.
17. FDA studies have indicated that medical devices using radio frequency
identification (RFID) may possibly affect the function of heart pacemakers
and ICDs. However, as of this time the FDA has not received any reports
of such effects. Moreover, the limited transmission range and the trans-
mission frequency used by the Pentamix 3 unit mean that risks to users
and patients are extremely improbable.
2. Product Description
Pentamix
™
3 is an automatic mixing unit for the preparation of Penta
impression materials. 3M ESPE Penta impression materials have been
specifically designed for this unit and are supplied in special foil bags.
This is the only form of packaging which can be used in the Pentamix units.
Every Penta
™
foil bag is sealed with a PentaMatic sealing cap. The external
geometry of the sealing cap insures its proper positioning on the cartridge.
When the Pentamix unit is turned on, a special internal device opens the foil
bag automatically once sufficient pressure has been built up by the plunger.
The connection pieces located on the PentaMatic sealing caps serve for
proper attachment of the mixing tip.
The cartridges, which are labeled for the specific product, and the PentaMatic
sealing caps act together as a stable unit for the preparation of pastes in the
Pentamix unit and allow a change of products without intermediate cleaning
of the device and no loss of paste.
