Device operation

6.5.1. When Implant Locator is ready, 4 segments blink green (Pic. 8).
6.5.2. 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 towards estimated position
of hidden implant (Pic. 9).

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.
6.5.3. Implant localization
• When the sensor is approaching the implant, 4 segments turn steady green (Pic. 10a).
• 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 (Pic. 10b).
• Reverse direction and slowly move the sensor back along the same path. Four
segments turn green again indicating sensor movement towards the implant
(Pic. 10c). 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 (Pic. 10d). The
visual indication is accompanied by solid audio signal.
• Through the hole in the middle of the sensor mark on the gum location of the
implant using dental probe.
