• The CanalPro Apex Locator Compact should only be used with the manufacturer's original accessories.
• In order to prevent the transmission of infections it is highly recommended to use a rubber dam sys-
tem during the endodontic procedure.
• To ensure that short circuits do not impair the measurements, avoid any contact between metal
crowns, bridges or amalgam fillings and the file or the lip clip.
• Make sure that the canal is wet enough to provide electrical conductivity.
• Ensure that the file does not touch other instruments.
• Avoid excessive liquids inside the tooth cavity to prevent overflow and incorrect measurements. Teeth
with open apices may give imprecise results.
• Usage of NaOCl with concentrations higher than 5 % may result in reduced accuracy of the measure-
ments.
• The CanalPro Apex Locator Compact may not be able to provide correct measurements in all condi-
tions. In all cases, it is recommended to take an X-ray prior to using the device and to compare the re-
sults obtained by both methods.
• For your own safety, please use personal protection wear (gloves, mask).
• The CanalPro Apex Locator Compact should be stored at normal temperature (< 60°C) and humidity
