Analytic Technology Vitality Scanner, Model 2006, Electric Pulp Tester, EPT

Description

This is a Model 2006 Analytic Technology pulp tester.  Includes 5 tips, the "ground wire" and instructions.  Super easy to use.  Clip the ground wire to the handpiece and hook the other end around the patient's lip.  Select a tip, insert it into the handpiece and place it against the tooth, being careful not to include the gingiva.  It turns on automatically.  We used to use a dab of F- gel to insure a good electrical connection.  The red light at the end of the handpiece will light up when you have a good connection, and go out when you don't.  The pulp tester automatically begins ramping up the current.  Tell the patient to indicate to you as soon as they feel a buzz or anything at all.  At that point, withdraw the handpiece to break the connection.  The display will show (and hold the reading).
A few caveats.  You can't test thru a crown.  Testing thru metallic fillings will give unreliable readings.  Your best bet for a test site is a clean, unrestored buccal or lingual surface.  Don't use on somebody with a pacemaker.  The directions cover all this stuff.
The point is, this is easy to use.  It will be shipped without batteries. It will require 4 AA alkaline batteries and a small phillips screwdriver to load them.
My 2018 Burkhart catalog lists this model new at 60.00.  Save quite a few bucks by buying this one instead.
