Before Use Before Use Intended Use AirPex is intended for measuring canal length. This device must only be used in hospital environments, clinics or dental offices by qualified dental personnel and not used in the oxygen-rich environment. Contraindications This device must not be used in cases where a patient has been fitted...

(including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the AirPex, including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
Installing the AirPex 4.Installing the AirPex Connecting file clip, lip hook and extension cord Please use the original file clip and lip hook that manufactured Connect file clip, extension cord by Sifary. Because the size of the and lip hook to APEX locator as unoriginal file clip and lip hook shown in the picture.
Installing the AirPex Put the APEX locator in the Connecting charge groove in the middle of the charge base base. The power LED on charge base will light up. And the Plug the USB of adapter into the interface of APEX locator will light charge base, and plug the other up to show that is charging.
Use Interface 5.Use Interface Turn Power On/Off Press to turn on. Long press more than 2 seconds, or no operation for 3 minutes to turn off. Volume control During standby state, shot press to cycle the volume through the minor to the maximum. Setting the reference point During standby state, press to set the...
Operation 6.Operation Charge Display present remaining amount of the battery. Less than 15% remains, please charge. If the power if less than 15%, the device must be recharged within 30 days, otherwise the battery will be damaged. Page 13 / 41...
Page 14
Operation Charging indication appears on the screen, and flashes slowly, when battery is fully charged or in a state near full charge, the flash will stop. Fully charged will take about 4-5 hours, depending residual battery power and battery state. It can be recharged 300-500 times, depending operating...
Function checking of APEX locator After turning on, insert the tester into the APEX locator. Clamp the groove of tester with file clip. The measuring bar on the screen flashes at point 02, 03 or 04. Recommend to test the APEX locator with tester once a week.
Page 16
Operation Confirm the device with short touch file clip and lip hook before. Confirm that the tester is not installed on the APEX locator. Then connect the file clip, lip hook and extension cord according to chapter 5.1. Finally, touch the lip hook with exposed metal position on file clip, the measurement on the...
Operation Operation and not suitable condition Press the back cover of the file clip to make the hook of the file clip stick out. And hook the metal handle of the root canal file. Release the pressure and use the elasticity of the file clip to complete the connection between the file clip and the root canal file.
Page 18
Operation Hook the lips to the patient's lips. Ensure contact with the lips fully. Then the root canal file is slowly inserted into the unblocked root canal. If the patient is fitted with a metal crown or other conductive devices, the root canal file clip and the metal part of the file clip should not be in contact with it, so as to avoid causing wrong measurement results.
Page 19
Operation value of the reference range is 2, indicating that the distance from the tip of the tooth root is about 2mm at this time. At the same time, Fig.1 the APEX locator emits a "di" alarm sound at a long interval.
Page 20
Operation 1.0 mm is usually taken from the measured value, which is the Minor/Physiological apical foramen prepared for root canal. The value of the reference distance is only an Fig.3 estimated value, not a clinical basis. The measured value does not represent the distance, only the trend of gradual entry.
Page 21
Operation Root canal with a large apical foramen The root canal cannot be accurately measured because of the lesion or incomplete development of the apical foramen. The results may show that the length measured is shorter than the actual one. Root canal blood overflow from the opening If blood spills from the root opening and contacts the gums, it will cause leakage of electricity, which...
Page 22
Operation Broken crown If the crown is broken, a segment of the gingival tissue enters the lumen, and the contact between the gingival tissue and the root file causes electrical leakage, which cannot be accurately measured. In this case, the appropriate material should be used to isolate the gingival tissue.
Page 23
Operation Crown or metal prosthesis that touches gingival tissue Accurate measurement cannot be obtained if the file touches a mental prosthesis that is touching gingival tissue. In this case, widen the opening at the top of the crown so that the file will not touch the mental prosthesis before taking a measurement.
Page 24
Operation Blocked canal The meter will not run if the canal is blocked. Opening the canal all the way to the apical construction to measure Extremely dry canal If the canal is extremely dry, the meter may not work until it is quite close to the apex.
Page 25
Operation The X-ray photo shows that the actual apex of the root canal is not the same as the anatomic end. In fact, the apical foramen is located at the coronal end. in this case, X-ray may indicate that the file needle has not reached the apical foramen, even if it has actually reached the apical foramen.
7.Maintenance Autoclavable Components File clip Lip hook Touch probe Extension cord File clip and lip hook must be pre-cleaned and sterilized before every use. Pre-cleaning: Use a soft brush or moist cloth to remove visible contaminations, then wipe all the surfaces with a cloth lightly moistened with Ethanol for disinfection (Ethanol 70 to 80vol%) at least 1 min, repeat for 5 times.
Page 27
Maintenance Sterilization: Steam sterilization at 134° C at least 6 minutes . Minimum drying time after sterilization: 10 minutes. Storage: Keep the components in sterilization packaging in a dry and clean environment. Comply with your national guidelines, standards and requirements for cleaning, disinfection and sterilization.
