Measurement
a)
Hook the lip hook in the corner of the patient's mouth.
WARNING:
•
Never use an electric scalpel when the lip hook is hooked in the patient’s
mouth. These devices emit electrical noise that could interfere with
accurate measurement or cause the device to malfunction.
•
Make sure that the lip hook, file clip and their connectors do not come
into contact with an electric power source such as a power outlet. This
will result in an electric shock.
•
If connections are not securely plugged in the device may not make an
accurate measurement. If the meter does not change as the file goes
down the canal, stop using the device immediately and make sure all the
connectors are securely inserted.
CAUTION:
•
The lip hook could cause an adverse reaction if the patient has an allergy
to metals. Ask the patient about this before using the lip hook.
•
Take care that medicinal solutions such as formalin cresol or sodium
hypochlorite do not get on the lip hook or the file clip. These could cause
an adverse reaction such as inflammation.
