Other problem areas to check:
• Ensure the le barely goes through the terminus. A loose le will
give inaccurate readings.
• If the apex is larger than .40mm there might not be ample
constricture for accurate readings.
• Bone or periodontal ligament loss (indicated by a radiolucency on
the lm) can cause inaccurate readings.
• If baery power is low, plug the unit into a wall outlet
• File or probe contact with a metal restoraon will ground the
circuit and inaccurately indicate the apex.
• If the canal is too dry, introduce NaOCl to the apical 1/2 of the canal.
VitalityScanner(VS)ModeInstrucons
NumericDisplay
Vitality response values range from 1 to 80. When the maximum value
of 80 is reached, your Numeric Display ashes unl contact is broken.
GraphicDisplay
When a circuit is completed, a small horizontal bar will appear
under the Numeric Display unl the circuit is broken. A vercal bar
corresponds to the numeric response value.
Satellite Display
The Satellite Display mimics your Graphic Display. The top LED segment
indicates a completed circuit.
VitalityScannerDireconsforUse
1. Grasping the Satellite Cord plug by its knurled secon, line up the
red dots and gently push it into its receptacle at the front of the
unit. The cord may only be plugged in or removed by pulling the
knurled secon of the plug.
2. Place the Paent Lead Cord connector into the Satellite Cord
receptacle.
3. Insert either the Standard or the Mini Crown Test Probe into the
Paent Lead Cord receptacle.
4. Power the unit by depressing the buon.
5. Ensure the unit reads “vitality” in the upper right hand corner
conrming the unit is in Vitality Scanner mode. If not, press the
buon to do so.
6. Adjust the rate of smulus increase with the panel keys. This rate
can be re-adjusted during tesng.
7. Place the lip clip on the paent’s lip. Direct contact between the
mucosa and the lip clip must be made for proper funcon.
8. Dry the tooth to be tested.
9. Dip the probe p into a small amount of gel toothpaste or topical
anesthec and place it on the tooth. Do not contact the gingiva.
10. Upon contact, a small horizontal bar appears under the numerical
display and remains unl contact is broken.
11. Maintain contact with the tooth unl your paent perceives
a pulsang pressure, warmth, or ngling. A chart on normal
responses follows this secon.
12. If contact is broken and re-established within 1 second, tesng
connues without reseng. This feature avoids accidental reseng
if momentary loss of contact occurs. The unit resets aer 1 second
of lost contact to aid rapid tesng of mulple teeth.
Test Response
Normal test response ranges for vital teeth are:
Incisors 10-40
Bicuspids 20-50
Molars 30-70
These are not absolutes and will vary from paent to paent.
VitalityScannerUsageNotesandHints
• The unit automacally acvates upon contact between probe and
tooth. This ensures the paent inially receives the lowest output.
• Begin tesng on teeth adjacent to the subject tooth to provide a
comparave basis.
• The Mini Crown Probe allows access below the margin of a
porcelain crown.
• Lower resistance of metallic llings produce readings considerably
lower than natural tooth material.
VitalityScannerTroubleshoong
A false negave occurs when a vital tooth does not respond to the
maximum level of 80.
Causes include:
• Moisture on the surface of the tooth. False negaves can oen be
avoided by drying the tested tooth
• Ametallic lling contacng periodontal ssue.
• Severe calcicaon of pulpal ssue.
• Immature apices.
• Severe trauma to the tooth.
• Other condions resulng in degradaon of neural response.
A false posive occurs when your paent perceives the smulus on a
necroc tooth.
Causes include:
• A paent sensing smulaon in an adjacent tooth in contact with
the subject tooth.
• A paent sensing a periodontal neural smulus instead of a pulpal
nerve smulus. The periodontal response is quite dierent than
a pulpal response. Compare the sensaon perceived on a tooth
being vitality tested with the direct smulaon of periodontal
ssue prior to vitality tesng.
ExpectedLifeofAccessories
All accessories are reusable for a limited number of procedures.
This number is highly dependent on how and for what duraon the
instrument is used and, therefore, will vary signicantly from user to
user. If the device funcon appears errac, an accessory may have
exceeded its useful life and should be replaced.
Cleaning,Sterilizaon,andMaintenance
Cleaning
The Unit and Satellite should be wiped twice with CaviWipes or a clean
cloth moistened with Cavicide(Metrex714-516-7400) for cleaning and
disinfecng. The rst wipe will clean the instrument, the second wipe
will disinfect. Do not submerge the device or allow liquid to enter the
enclosure. DonotAutoclavetheunitorsatellite.
Sterilizaon
Probes, File Clips, and the Paent Lead Cord must be cleaned, sterilized,
and inspected before every use:
1. Clean with CaviWipes or a clean cloth moistened with Cavicide or
warm water. Dry thoroughly.
2. Double wrap the Probes, Clips, and Lead Cords using a typical central
service wrapping technique and place into autoclave unit avoiding
contact with other instruments.
3. Operate sterilizaon cycle at 250°F (121°C) for 30 minutes or 270°F
(132°C) for 25 minutes. Follow the instrucons supplied with your
autoclave unit for specic operang instrucons.
