5.4.14.  The  file  clip  may  be  disconnected  from  the  file  and  connected  back  during 

measurement without affecting normal device  operation (for instance, when 
the  file  is  changed  to  a  larger  number  during  root  canal  treatment  or  when 
another  canal  should  be  measured).  In  such  cases  the  device  detects 
automatically that the new measurement is initiated, the electrical contact and 
conductivity of the root canal are checked again and two beeps are sounded. 

 

Note:

  The 

RomiApex™  A-15  operates  completely  automatically.  No  manual 

adjustments  are  required.  The 

RomiApex™  A-15  enables  accurate  localization  of 

apical foramen independently of root canal conditions (dry, wet, with blood, pulp). In 
case of very dry canal or previous obturation (retreatment cases) you may use irrigation 
solution such as Sodium Hypochlorite, Saline, etc. to provide a conductive electrical 
environment. 

 

5.5. 

Audio feedback 

The 

RomiApex™ A-15

 

is equipped  with  an audio  indicator which  is  activated  in  parallel 

with progression of the file. This function enables monitoring of the file progression within 
the canal 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 

5.6. 

Automatic Shutdown 

The 

RomiApex™  A-15

 

automatically  shuts  off  after  5  minutes  without  use.  In  order  to 

prolong the battery life, after completing the measurements, it is recommend switching the 

device off by pressing the On/Off key
