Flow Handpiece Instructions
FLOW Operation:
•
For optimal performance the bending tool should always be used to
create the desired cannula curve.
•
Press the 360° activation cuff to start the flow of gutta-percha. See
Fig. 9. You will notice a short delay as the plunger engages and
pushes gutta-percha to the tip of the needle.
•
Extrude a small amount of gutta-percha from the needle. Wipe the
excess gutta-percha from the tip before inserting the needle into the
canal.
•
Place the heated tip of the cannula against the previously packed
gutta-percha for 5 seconds.
•
Hold the handpiece lightly when expressing material to allow the
device to readily back out of the canal.
•
As the material is expressed, the indicator will help you estimate how
much gutta-percha remains in the cartridge.
Warning:
Applying excessive downward pressure or not allowing
the cannula to back out of the canal may result in a dislocated
cannula.
Warning:
Using fingers or other non-approved devices to bend
or curve the cartridge cannula can result in cartridge rupture
and/or handpiece damage.
