1. An elegant and sleek body that only needs a small amount of space.
2. 4th generation apex locator automatically detects the apical constriction in any circumstances, dry or wet canals.
3. High precision measurement generated using the Smart Logic system.
4. Three separate warning sounds depending upon where the file tip is placed, ensuring no procedural errors.
5. A wide tricolor display with very low reflectivity enables clinicians to track procedures accurately and instantly.
6. It has a multifrequency measuring technology.
7. Easy to operate with a user-friendly touch display.
8. Automatic shutdown control when the device is not in use.

Ipex Apex Locator Usage Instructions:

• When the tip file reaches the root apex (0.5) the bar graph turns BLUE accompanied by the increase in the pitch of the alarm sound.
• When the Tip of the file reaches a minor apical diameter (0.0) the bar graph shows 0.0 on the display and the alarm sound becomes continuous.
• When the Tip moves beyond APEX, the bar graph turns RED & the display shows (OA- Over Apex) on the display along with fast & continuous Alarm sound.
