INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
Device Description
The Digitest
II Pulp Vitality Tester is a hand-held,
®
battery-powered dental diagnostic device that
identifies a living tooth nerve by stimulating it with a
weak electric current. When the operator depresses
the button, the strength of the electrical stimulus
automatically increases at a rate preset by the op-
erator. The unique waveform is designed to trigger
a patient response in a vital nerve with a minimal
amount of discomfort.
Intended use/indications
The Digitest II Pulp Vitality Tester is intended to
be used as a diagnostic instrument to assist in the
determination of the vitality of the dental pulp.
Contraindications
This device is contraindicated for use on a patient
or by an operator wearing a cardiac pacemaker
or any other intra-corporeal electronic device
(internal defibrillator, insulin pump, etc.), or any
personal electronic monitoring device.

violate safety codes, endanger the patient
and the operator, and void the warranty.
