Handpiece Instructions
Operation:
•
Press the 360° activation cuff on the handpiece to begin heating the
EHP to the selected temperature setting. See Fig. 5.
ª
If the temperature LED is illuminated, the selected temperature will
display on the numerical LED window.
ª
As the EHP’s temperature rises, one high frequency tone is heard.
ª
Once the tip is within 20°C of the selected temperature setting, the
tone will change to a lower frequency and remain at this tone until
the activation cuff is released.
ª
When pressing the activation cuff, the tip will heat for 15 seconds for
temperature settings of 200°C or lower, and 10 seconds for settings
above 200°C before timing out.
CAUTION:
Do not stay in the root canal with a heated tip for
more than 4 seconds to prevent thermal injury to the patient!
Thermal Response Tip:
ª
The Thermal Response Tip will heat for one minute while the 360°
activation cuff is depressed. To restart after a timeout has been
reached, release the activation cuff and press again.
•
Always press the
button to set the temperature to 90°C before
starting the pulp sensitivity test.
CAUTION:
Place gutta-percha on the tip of the Thermal Response
Tip before applying to the patient’s tooth! Do not place the tip directly
on the tooth!
