1. Prevent Accidents
Most operation and maintenance problems result from insufficient attention being paid to basic safety precautions and not
being able to foresee the possibilities of accidents.
Problems and accidents are best avoided by foreseeing the possibility of danger and operating the unit in accordance with
the manufacturer’ s recommendations.
First thoroughly read all precautions and instructions pertaining to safety and accident prevention; then, operate the
equipment with the utmost caution to prevent either damaging the equipment itself or causing bodily injury.
Note the meaning of the following symbols and expressions: -
WARNING This warns that it may result in serious injury of the patient or operator if the instructions
are not followed properly.
PROHIBITION The user should not use in a way that may result in serious injury of the patient or
operator.
NOTE This alerts the user to the possibility of damage to the equipment, potential injury of the patient
or operator, or important points concerning operation and performance.
The user (e.g. the hospital, clinic etc.) is responsible for the maintenance and proper operation of the dIP004 dental
I MPLANT POI NTER.
dIP004 dental I MPLANT POINTER must only be operated by dentists and other legally licensed professionals.
Do not use this equipment for anything other than its specified purpose.
WARNINGS
•
This unit must not be connected to or used in combination with any other apparatus or system. It must not be used as an
integral component of any other apparatus or system.
•
CTI ltd. will not be responsible for accidents, equipment damage, bodily injury or any other trouble which results from
ignoring this prohibition.
•
Accurate implant pointing is not always possible depending on the distance from the top side of the sensor to the implant’s cap
as well as on the distance between two adjacent implants.
•
Do not reuse sterilized Sensors, Markers and Protective Covers.
•
When Red LED appears for a few seconds instead of Yellow immediately after inserting the Sensor, it means that Battery
should be replaced by a new one shortly.
•
Do not insert the Sensor with the lettering “TOP SIDE” faced down otherwise implant pointing will be incorrect.
•
Reset the instrument if you sense something odd or abnormal while searching for Implant.
•
The unit will not work at all if the Red LED is flashing. When this happens the Battery should be replaced immediately.
•
Dispose the used Sensor, Marker and Protective Cover after each treatment.
•
When searching for an Implant, no metal tools or instruments (like dental mirror, tweezers etc.) should be used in the
proximity of the Sensor.
3
PROHIBITION
•
Illumination devices such as fluorescent lights and the Film viewer which use an inverter can cause the
dIP004 to operate erratically. Do not use dIP004 near devices such as these.
NOTE
•
•
dIP004 will switch itself to the Low Power Mode (much lower Blue light intensity) after being left idle
for 2-10 minutes. It will be returned to the Full Power Mode by putting the sensor close to an implant
or by resetting.
dIP004 turns itself off automatically after being left idle for more than 10 minutes. Then it can be
turned on by pulling out the Sensor and inserting it back again.
2. Indication for use
dIP004 is a dental IMPLANT POINTER. It can be used to point the implants buried under the gum.
3. Parts Identification
NOTE
dIP004 is supplied without the battery installed. Remove the Battery Cover and install the AA
battery
4
4. Installing (Exchanging) the Battery
I.
Remove the Battery Cover by turning it in the counterclockwise direction.
II.
Insert the AA battery included in the package by first pressing center of the “-“side against its spring
contact.
III.
IV.
Slide the “+” side down into place and make sure the contacts are not bent or damaged.
Return the Battery Cover by turning it in the clockwise direction.
5. Preparing the Unit
I.
II.
III.
Open the dental IMPLANT POINTER Kit Box.
Take out the dIP004 Unit, a new sealed Disposable Set and the Marker Handle.
Unseal Disposable Set comprising a Sensor with a Protective Cover on it and a Marker.
IV.
Twist in the Marker into the Marker Handle.
5
6. Operating the Unit
I.
Turn the Unit on by inserting the Sensor (with the Protective Cover on it) in such a way that the notice
“TOP SIDE” will be in the same direction as the logo “CTI” on the Battery Cover.
NOTE
The Sensor should be inserted into the front slot and pushed inside until a clear click is
recognized.
Immediately after inserting the Sensor the Yellow LED will turn on indicating the Initialization State.
WARNING
If the Red LED is turned on instead of Yellow it indicates that the battery is low and it should be
replaced by a new one in a few days.
After a few seconds the Blue LED will replace the Yellow (or Red) one, indicating the “Ready to Use”
state.
Meanwhile, the Protective Cover should be pulled on the front end of the Unit for tightly covering the
Sensor Slot and protecting it from the penetration of undesirable substances like blood or saliva.
6
II.
The bottom side of the Sensor should be gently clasped to the gum in the area where the implant is
supposed to be.
NOTE
It is recommended to keep the Sensor motionless for a few (~5) seconds for equalizing its
temperature with the temperature of the gum, which would improve its accuracy.
III.
The Sensor should be slowly moved along the gum, while keeping it in a constant contact with the gum.
IV.
When the LED turns from Blue to Green, the sensor is close enough to the Implant.
7
NOTE
It is desirable to scan the area, where an implant has been recognized, by a smooth spiral
movement. IMPLANT POINTER records the closest distance to the Implant Center and then cuts
down the area where it indicates the Implant’s presence, providing a more accurate Implant
Center pointing.
V.
Keeping the Sensor exactly above the found Implant, insert the tip of the Marker into the hole in the
center of the Sensor and mark the Implant position by pushing the Marker into the gum,
simultaneously turning it in opposite directions for better marking.
VI.
Reset the last found implant parameters by bringing the Sensor close to any metal object like the
Marker Handle and keep it attached to the Handle until the indicator switches from Blue to Yellow,
then take it away. The LED will switch back to Blue, indicating that the Unit is ready to be used again.

8. Sterilization
I.
The Marker Handle should be autoclaved at 135⁰C (249.8⁰F), 4 minutes minimum with a sterilization
pouch. Minimum Drying Time after sterilization: - 10 minutes.
WARNING
The Marker Handle must be thoroughly washed and cleaned before autoclaving. It must be
autoclaved after each patient.
WARNING
Do not autoclave the Unit, Markers, Sensors and Protective Covers.
II.
Sterilize the surface of the Unit by wiping it with a piece of gauze dampened with Ethanol for
Disinfection (Ethanol 70~80 vol%). Wring the gauze out to make sure it is not too wet.
WARNING
Avoid spilling chemical solutions used for treatment on the dIP004. These chemicals could cause
damage, deform or discolor the Unit. Be especially careful to avoid spilling formalin cresol (FC)
and sodium hypochlorite as they are quite strong. Wipe off any chemical spills immediately.
