You’ve purchased the very latest in Apical Foramen
Location technology. Aseptico has developed a new technology
called "Impedance Vector Mapping". This approach uses a sin-
gle pure tone signal to precisely identify the electrical charac-
teristics of the endodontic file’s present position. These charac-
teristics are used to develop an index to an internally stored
collection of clinical experience regarding the electrical charac-
teristics of the Apical Foramen. This collection of clinical experi-
ence is called a "Personality Mapping" for the device.
The Endopex V is microprocessor controlled and may be oper-
ated in dry and moist tooth canals.
Congratulations!
The accuracy and efficacy of the Endopex V has been devel-
oped and affirmed via studies at a major American dental
school and in the hands of professional endodontists.
Watch for new Aseptico products that contain Impedance
Vector Personality Maps to assist in more unusual, difficult, or
special cases.
Rubber dam should be used in all endodontic cases. We rec-
ommend the use of HandiDam

TROUBLESHOOTING (Continued):
b. Verify that the lip clip has a good connection to the
patient’s oral mucosa.
c. Verify the file clip metal is clean, free of debris and corro-
sion, clean if not.
d. Verify the pulp chamber is clean and dry.
6. The display indicates only when the file is very near the
apex.
a. The canal may be obstructed by dentin debris or shav-
ings. The unit will only indicate correctly when the file
passes through the apical constriction.
b. The canal may be extremely dry, moisten the canal with
water or sodium hypochlorite.
c. If the apical foramen is too large or incompletely formed,
the indication may suddenly jump as the file tip approach-
es the foramen.
7. There are no audio indications.
a. Verify audio indication has been turned on.
8. The display gives no indications or gives incorrect indi-
cations.
a. Verify that the lip clip has a good connection to the
patient’s oral mucosa.
b. Make sure all connections to the cable assembly are
secure. Specifically check the cable assembly jack is
properly inserted in the unit, the lip clip is well seated in
its receiving connector, and the file clip assembly is well
seated in its receiving connector.
c. Verify the file clip metal is clean, free of debris and corro-
sion, clean if not.
d. Verify the pulp chamber is clean and dry.
e. The file clip plastic or metal may be damaged, replace it
if so.
f. Verify the file clip is securely attached to the file and the
file is inserted in the canal.
g. Verify the canal has not been retreated with silver points.
h. Verify the apex is complete.
i. The canal may be calcified.
j. The canal may be obstructed by dentin debris or shav-
ings. The unit will only indicate correctly when the file
passes through the apical constriction.
