DISINFECTION AND MAINTENANCE:
1. Main Unit
Wash display and outside of the enclosure with a soft cloth
using a mild detergent. Rinse off the unit by wiping with a
damp cloth. Never submerge unit or saturate with any disin-
fectant fluids.
2. Electrodes
The electrodes must be sterilized between each patient use.
Sterilize the file clip and lip clips at 132º C (270º F) for 5
minutes. Do not autoclave any other part.
3. Cable Assembly
The Cable Assembly may be wiped or dipped in a disinfec-
tant solution. Do not soak the Cable Assembly.
4. Batteries
Replace batteries with fresh cells when unit indicates low
battery when power light is yellow and blinking. From one to
three 9V batteries may be used together, for an estimated
15 hrs of battery life.
CAUTIONS:
1. Do not use this unit in conjunction with an electric scalpel or
on patients with pacemakers.
2. Replace the battery when the power light starts blinking yel-
low. Accurate readings cannot be assured with batteries that
are low on power.
3. Always remove the batteries for shipping or long-term storage.
4. Use files and reamers with a plastic (resin) handles.
5. Numbers indicating distances are for reference only. The
dentist’s judgment must be used to interpret indication
results. Clinical experience, including knowledge of root
anatomy, is crucial when interpreting indication results.
6. Always verify good connection of the lip clip to the patient’s
oral mucosa and all connections to the cable assembly
