• Activate the foot switch and hold it down. CALAJECT™ starts
in slow injection mode, 0.006 ml/sec. Option: The speed can be
increased to 0.009 ml/sec by a quick release/re-activation of the
foot switch. The speed can be changed back again by a renewed
release/re-activation.
• The PDL-technique requires a relatively high injection pressure
initially. This is why Program 1 allows a substantially higher
injection pressure / resistance than program 2 and 3
before the automatic stop is activated.
• Automatic suck-back / aspiration when foot switch is deactivated.
Minimizes after-dripping from the needle.
PROGRAM 1
Recommended for intraligamental – and also palatal – analgesia
For intraligamental (PDL) analgesia it is recommended to dose 0.2 – 0.9 ml per root depending
on the size of the root and the expected duration of the procedure. For further guidance on the
PDL technique, we refer to the published literature on the subject.
If the pressure has become so high that CALAJECT™ stops, the needle opening may have be-
come blocked and it is recommended to rotate the needle slightly in order to obtain a good flow.

VISUAL SIGNALS
When CALAJECT™ has been prepared and is switched on, Program II will illuminate as default.
The piston will retract automatically, which is indicated by three illuminated LEDs rotating around
the “R” key.
During activation, the LED of the selected program will blink with the two-tone signal and thereby
reflect the injection speed.
The back pressure on the piston can be read on the bar-scale at top of the display. At increased
counter pressure, the bar will iluminate gradually from left to the right with green LEDs. Finally
the bar will turn orange and red, after which CALAJECT™ will stop automatically.
The battery indicator is green only. 4 LED dots indicate full charge.
AUDIBLE SIGNALS
Two-tone signal
By injection in program I, II, and III, the frequency of the sound indicates the current injection speed.
Long, continuous beep:
• cartridge is empty
• automatic stop
The beep intensity may be adjusted by the volume button (9) by using a flathead screwdriver or
a mini-spatula.
