An eIFU stands for "electronic Instruction for Use" and describes digital instructions for use. Instead of a printed version, an eIFU allows users to access all relevant information and instructions in electronic format. This offers practical benefits such as easy access to information across various electronic devices and the ability to easily implement updates. eIFUs can also be a more environmentally friendly alternative as less paper is used.

To find the Instructions for Use or Electronic Instructions for Use (eIFU) for your product, please navigate to the top menu bar of our website. There you will find the menu item "Instructions for use". Click on this to go to the electronic patient information leaflet or eIFU search page. You can also go directly to the eIFU search page with the link https://www.ivoclar.com/en_au/eifu. The link is also printed on all packaging for products that have an eIFU.

On the search page, you have two options for finding the manual you need: you can either search by number or by product name.

If you know the number, please enter the product reference number (REF number) or the UDI-DI in the appropriate search field. You can usually find these numbers on the packaging of your product.

If you don't have the number handy, you can search by product name instead. Just enter the name of your product in the search field. Please note that when searching by name, all results matching the name entered will be displayed. So make sure you choose the right eIFU. When selecting the eIFU for your product, make sure that the validity date of the eIFU matches the validity date of your product.

The eIFU search page also offers a download and subscription function/paper version as an alternative. You have the option to download the IFU in PDF format from the eIFU search page and will be asked if you wish to subscribe to this eIFU before downloading. If you subscribe, you will be notified by email when a new version of this eIFU is available, with a link directly to the new valid eIFU, which again can be downloaded in PDF format. In addition, you can also request a paper version of the respective IFU on the website. These are sent to you by post within seven days.

 

 

The Download Center is an additional platform that allows you to get more information about a specific product. You can use the search function to view content such as quick guides or brochures.  In addition, the Download Center also serves as a linking platform for certain documents on the product pages. This ensures easier and direct access to further information for our customers.

Here is the direct link to the Download Center: https://www.ivoclar.com/en_au/downloadcenter

In our download center you can find a wide variety of documents for the desired products, such as brief instructions or brochures.

 

An ROI calculator is a tool for calculating the return on investment (ROI) of an investment. Ivoclar offers an ROI calculator for individual devices (PrograMill, PrograScan) and for certain materials (Ivotion, IPS e.max Press) so that dental laboratories or practices can better assess the profitability of a decision based on costs and expected income.

We consistently pursue the principle of recyclability. For this reason, secondary packaging and components made of plastics (PE foam, polystyrene, polystyrene, PVC, etc.) should be avoided.

Ideally we prioritise so-called “single-material solutions” that can be disposed of by recycling due to their material. If this is not possible due to the type of product or a potential risk level (hazardous goods, chemicals, storage conditions, etc.), the minimum necessary plastic-based material can be used. The general rule here is that the carbon footprint of the finished packaging solutions must be lower than the solution being replaced.

We at Ivoclar want to make sure that from delivery to opening of packages, the Ivoclar spirit is evident: all container types are ingeniously structured, carefully designed and produced to a high standard of quality. Our mission in packaging is to create sustainable and targeted solution, therefore we follow three principles when planning and implementing all types of packaging. 1. Customer centric. Every detail is carefully thought through and intensively tested. 2. Ecological. We are always keen to critically rethink our types of packaging and consistently align them with ecological aspects. This applies to the type of packaging, the choice of materials, the finishes and their handling. 3. On brand. Our brand identity is confident, sophisticated and aesthetic. These visual attributes are carefully transferred to all types of new packaging.
