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.

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
.

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
