3. Precautions
Verify that the canal has been properly isolated and that there are no metallic
restorations present which may contact the file.
Normally
RomiApex™ A-15 provides accurate measurements during foramen
location in dry and wet canals, in presence of various electrolytic solutions (Sodium
Hypochlorite, EDTA, saline, etc.).
A #15 endodontic K-file #15 is the minimum recommended file size for apical foramen
localization. However, smaller or larger files may be used when anatomically
necessary.
For convenience of use it is recommended that selected file will be about 5mm longer
than the radiographic working length.
Before measuring, check the accessories and verify good connectivity.
RomiApex™ A-15
should not be dropped or subjected to other manners of impact or
shock as this could result in malfunction of the device and voiding of the warranty.
When disconnecting the lip clip, file clip or measuring cable, always grip the
connectors.
Do not
pull directly on the wires to disconnect.
Discard any old, damaged or leaky battery. Battery should be disposed of according
to local codes and regulations. Battery cannot be disposed of as municipal waste
within the European Union.
Ensure the battery is installed with correct polarity.
Do not immerse
RomiApex™ A-15 unit. This may damage the device and will
void the warranty
.
Only use recommended cleaning solutions on the device. See the
“
Maintenance,
cleaning and sterilization
” section 7 (page 13) for recommended cleaning and
sterilization.
The items which may contact the patient during intended use of the device (lip clip,
file clip and touch probe) must be cleaned and sterilized before the first use and
between patients to avoid the risk of cross-contamination.
Care should be exercised when the
RomiApex™ A-15 is used around devices
emitting electromagnetic noise such as fluorescent lamps, film viewers, ultrasonic
devices, radio frequency transmitters, cell phones, remote controls, or devices that
radiate electromagnetic (EM) fields, areas where there are strong magnetic fields, or
conditions where there is high static electricity (ESD). While the
RomiApex™ A-15
has been built to withstand these conditions, EM and ESD fields may interfere with
the
device’s proper operation. If the RomiApex™ A-15 must be used under these
conditions, take care to see that the device
is operating normally (See manufacturer’s
declaration of electromagnetic compatibility).
