ALAN Dental Equipment iD1 Implant Locator Smart Finder

Please read this manual before operating.

Indications for use

Implant Locator is an electronic device used for the localization of implants covered by gum tissue during two-stage implantology.
The device enables to obtain good results with various implant systems.

Contraindications

Implant Locator is not recommended for use in patients or by personnel having a pacemaker or other implanted electrical devices.

Warnings
This product must only be used in hospital environments, clinics, or dental offices by qualified dental personnel

Precautions

Do not use Implant Locator near devices emitting electromagnetic noise such as fluorescent lamps, film viewers, ultrasonic devices, etc. Cellular phones, remote controls or other devices generating electromagnetic waves may cause abnormal operation of the Implant Locator. Such devices should be turned off.
During device operation protect Implant Locator from occasional spillage of liquids.
Do not use an implant Locator in the presence of flammable materials.
Implant Locator should be used with the manufacturer’s original accessories only.
To prevent infectious agent transmission, the sensor should be changed or sterilized between patients.
The presence of metallic bodies near the sensor may distort device indication. Avoid the presence of metallic items in the vicinity of the sensor during device operation.
For your safety, please use personal protection gear (gloves, mask).

Adverse Reactions

None.

Implant Locator outlook

The general view of the Implant Locator is shown in Pie. 7.
Note: The sensor is an Applied Part of the device.

Getting Started
Before the first use and between the patients, the device and sensor holder should be cleaned and disinfected using wipes moisturized by disinfectant. The sensor should be cleaned and autoclaved.

Gently attach the sensor holder to the device as shown in Pic. 1.

Insert the sensor into the holder until stops as shown in Pic. 1.

Turn the device on by pressing the button.
Take care that no metallic object will be closer than 10 cm to the sensor.

Self-test and calibration.
Before starting device operation the self-test is performed.

If the sensor holder is not properly connected to the device or the sensor is not inserted into the holder, the error is indicated by running. red segment After 1 o sec. the device turns off automatically.
To correct the error, turn the device off, connect the sensor holder, insert the sensor until stops, and turn the device on again.
After the self-test device performs automatic calibration.
Running the green segment indicates calibration is in progress. When calibration is completed, 4 segments blink green indicating that the device is ready for operation.
Pressing the ****button will restart automatic calibration cycle described above.

The presence of metallic objects close to the sensor during self-test and calibration may prevent correct device operation or reduce the precision of the implant local. To correct calibration errors, turn the device off, and check the proper connection of the sensor holder and of the sensor. If required, replace the sensor. Verify that there are no metallic objects in the vicinity of the sensor and turn the device on again.

Device operation
When the Implant Locator is ready, 4 segments blink green (Pie. 2).

Insert the device into the mouth cavity and place the sensor plane onto the gum at some distance from the estimated position of the implant. The central hole of the sensor should be approximately in the middle of the jaw ridge. Slowly move the sensor along the jaw toward the estimated position of the hidden implant.

To ensure correct measurements, it is strongly recommended to press ****button before each measurement for self-test and calibration.
To ensure correct measurements, take care that the sensor plane will be always slightly pressed to the gum without gap.
Thick gum layer covering the implant may prevent correct implant localization or reduce precision.
Turning on the device without installing the sensor will cause the device to flash a red light to indicate an error, in which case installing the sensor will cause the device to display an error status or detect inaccurately, and you must press the button once to re-calibrate before using it.

Implant localization

When the sensor is approaching the implant, 4 segments turn steady green.
Continue fluent movement of the sensor in the same direction without stopping until the segments turn orange indicating that the sensor has passed the implant position.
Reverse direction and slowly move the sensor back along the same path. Four segments turn green again indicating sensor movement towards the implant. Continue sensor movement in reverse direction without stopping.
When the sensor returns to the implant position, 4 segments turn off and the central dot turns green indicating detection of implant location. The visual indication is accompanied by a “Di-Di” audio signal.
Through the hole in the middle of the sensor mark on the gum location of the implant using dental probe.

GREEN

The sensor is approaching the implant.
Continue in the same direction Continue in the same direction.

ORANGE

The sensor has passed the implant position.
Reverse direction Continue in the same direction.

GREEN

The sensor moves back to the implant position.
Continue in the reversed direction position.
Reverse direction Continue in the same direction.

GREEN DOT
Detection of implant location

The sensor movement should be smooth without stopping or unnecessarily reversing the direction of the movement. This may cause incorrect readings.
Stopping sensor movement for more than 3 sec. before completing detection of implant location is indicated (central green dot turns on) will cause automatic reset (4 segments blink green). Implant localization should be repeated from the beginning.

Cross-scanning
To improve the precision of implant localization it is possible to perform additional cross-scanning in the Buccal-Lingual direction.

After initial implant localization as shown in Pic. 10d Slowly move the sensor in the Buccal-Lingual direction pressing it slightly to the gum. The operating sequence is similar to the sequence described in § 6.4.3

The presence of a metal crown, abutment, a tooth with a large amalgam filling, or a metallic instrument close to the implant may prevent correct implant localization or reduce precision.

Localization of multiple implants
In case of multiple implants, after locating and marking the first implant continue to the estimated position of the next implant.

Slowly move the sensor along the jaw ridge. The central dot will turn off and 4 segments will turn orange; then the segment will blink green indicating that the Implant Locator is ready for detection of the next implant.
Perform implant localization as described in§ 6.4.3. and

Correct localization of implant position may be impossible when 2 or more implants are too close.

Automatic Shutdown
Implant Locator automatically shuts down after 1minutes without use. To prolong the battery life, it is recommended to switch off the device after completing implant localization by pressing the ****button and holding it for about 1 sec

Battery charging

When the battery power is too low, the ring light flashes continuously and is displayed in red.
Connect the adapter to the charging port at the bottom of the handpiece.
When the battery is charging, the ring light flashes rolling and is displayed as orange.
When fully charged, the ring light light is continuously displayed as green.
The charging time is about 4 hours.

Use only with an adapter provided by the manufacturer.
Using adapters from other brands may cause a fire, exploration, or damage to the product.
The handpiece is unable to be used while charging.
If the battery drains abnormally quickly, it indicates that the battery life is almost over. In this case, please contact our customer service for a battery exchange.
