Filling Technique - DownPack (D-Pack)
The DownPack handpiece (8) shares the blue connection with the motor (6).
(*CoPilot: if expanding the device by the „CoPilot“ module, the DownPack handpiece is always connected to the blue
notch (15c) of the CoPilot)
Do not put the DownPack handpiece down on electrically conducting surfaces, this could lead to induction of separate
source voltage.
Do not connect the DownPack handpiece at the same time with the Apex-cable. Put down the handpieces only on the
EndoPilot tripod or a temperature-resistant tray. Please keep in mind that the tip becomes very hot.
Operating the heating tip:
Open the tongs by two turns of the nut and insert the heating tip (7) (always insert the piston to mechanical stop). The tip
is fixed by screwing the nut tight.
Before using it, make sure that the heating tip is firmly fixed. A twisting tip can cause injuries.
If necessary, the multi-tool (12) may be used to loosen the nut.
Please pay attention to limited life expectancy of the heating tip which differs depending upon the frequency of use,
stress and deforming.
Check the heating tip before each use on its function and on its good mechanic condition. Use of excessive force may
lead to breaking and to injuries caused by slipping.
Never use heating tips from other manufacturers!
Do not use the DownPack handpiece simultaneously with the Apex cable.
Due to the continued induction of heat into the point of treatment, a warming up of the tooth and the surrounding tissue
may occur.
Provide for sufficient waiting times and act carefully. An exaggerated heating may change of the characteristics of the
filling material.
LED DownPack:
Red blinking: DownPack is operating, heating procedure is running (Usage s. chapter 5.1).

Filling Technique - BackFill (B-Fill)
Connect the BackFill Gun (11) with the delivered cable to the red connection (1a) at the device. The BackFill needle (9)
must be tightened with the key (12) to prevent leakage of gutta-percha at the screwing connection.
Form the needle between the forming rolls of the multi-tool. Always be careful that the needle is not being bent or torn
out of the screwing base. Avoid bending back and forth.
Please always use a Heat insulator (10), which should only be put on shortly before usage in order to avoid burns.
Press the release (11a) and pull the piston (11b) a bit backwards.
Then always insert only 1 pellet Guttapercha (13) at a time in the upper opening of the Gun. If the Gun is already heated,
do so quickly in order to avoid the inner parts to agglutinate.
By using the lever (11c), you push the Guttapercha into the heating chamber with the help of the piston (11b) and later
on through the needle. Make sure that the small screw and the seal at the end of the piston (11b) is in place and
tightened securely.
As long as the set temperature has not been reached and the Guttapercha is still rigid, do not press too hard as that may
damage the Gun.
If the heating times are longer, the outer parts of the Gun will also be warmed up. Check the temperature of the
protection cap (10).
Do not touch the patient’s lips or mucous membrane with the needle.
During the filling process, the needle should be able to rise with the filling material.
Do not put the BackFill Gun on electrically conducting surfaces; this could catch external voltage.
Do not use the BackFill Gun simultaneously with the Apex cable.
Put down the BackFill Gun only on the EndoPilot tripod or on a temperature-resistant tray.
Use of excessive force may break the needle and cause injuries. Please take care that the Gun is cleaned and prepared
before each use. Use a new needle each time as well as a new Guttapercha-pellet for each treatment. After the usage
and as long as the handpiece is still hot, press all remains of Guttapercha out of the Gun. Only use the original
Guttapercha-pellets.
For remarks on dismantling, please see preparation instructions (s.chap.16)!
