5.3.12 RomiApex™ A-15 operates completely automatically. No manual
adjustments are required. The microcomputer analyzes parameters and the
status of the canal and provides automatic adjustment to ensure optimal
performance.
RomiApex™ A-15 enables precise apex localization
independently of root canal conditions (dry, wet, with blood, pulp, gangrene,
etc.). In case of very dry canal or during restoration you may use irrigation
solution as hypochlorite or sodium chloride etc. to provide conductive path
during measurements.
5.4 Audio feedback
RomiApex™ A-15 is equipped with an audio indicator which enables monitoring of the
progression of the file within the canal in the apical zone.
This function is activated in parallel with progression of the file. It enables monitoring of
file advance in the apical zone even without seeing the display.
The volume can be adjusted to one of the four levels: mute, low, normal and high. The
adjustment is performed by successive pressings of the volume key
.
5.5 Automatic Shutdown
RomiApex™ A-15 automatically shuts down after 5 minutes without use. In order to
prolong the battery life, after completing the measurements it is recommended to switch
the device off by pressing the On/Off
key .
