Meter Display
The position of the file tip is shown by the canal length indica-
tor bar on the display. The flash bar flashes on and off once file is
inserted into the root canal.
The meter’s 0.5 reading indicates that the tip of the file is in or
very near the apical constriction.
* The numerals on the meter gauge do not represent millimeters.
If the file tip reaches the apical foramen, a single, sustained beep
will sound, and the word “APEX” and the little triangle next to the
flash bar will start to flash on and off.
• In some cases such as a blocked canal, a measurement cannot be made. pp. 16 and 17 “Root Canal Not Suit-
able for Electronic Measurement”
• Always check the measurement with an X-ray. In some cases, an accurate measurement cannot be made because of the
canal shape, unusual cases, or poor performance of the device. p. 18 “Endostar Navigator Meter Reading and
Radiography”
• Stop using the device immediately if you sense something odd or abnormal while taking a measurement.
• Do not let the file touch the gums. This will cause the meter to jump to the APEX.
• If the canal is extremely dry, the meter may not move until it is quite close to the apex. If the meter does not move, try
moistening the canal with oxydol or saline.
• Occasionally the canal length indicator bar will make a sudden and large movement as soon as the file is inserted into the
root canal, but it will return to normal as the file is advanced down towards the apex.
