What makes the CA161-RR unique compared to other contra angles?
The CA161-RR features an innovative axial reciprocating motion that operates simultaneously with rotational movements, enhancing its cutting efficiency and versatility for complex dental procedures.
What is the speed and torque range of the CA161-RR?
The CA161-RR operates at a speed range of 100–2,500 RPM and a torque range of 0.6–4.2 Ncm.
What types of rotary instruments are compatible with the CA161-RR?
It is compatible with ISO 1797-1 Type 1 files with a diameter of 2.35 mm and a maximum length of 46 mm.
What is the gear ratio of the CA161-RR?
The gear ratio for the CA161-RR is 6:1.
How do I connect and disconnect the CA161-RR to a motor handpiece?
To connect, align the positioning pins of the contra angle with the slots of the motor handpiece and insert it until it clicks. To disconnect, pull the contra angle straight out after ensuring the motor is completely stopped.
Can the CA161-RR handle apex measurements?
Yes, it can be used for apex measurements when paired with an insulating sleeve to prevent leakage currents.
What precautions should I take during operation?
Avoid pressing the push-button during operation, as it can cause overheating or file ejection. Always ensure proper locking of shanks/files, and do not use the device without installed instruments.
How should I clean and maintain the CA161-RR?
The contra angle should be cleaned immediately after use using cold water (<40°C), pre-cleaned manually, and then processed with automated or manual cleaning methods. Regular lubrication is required after each use or every 60 minutes of continuous operation.
Is the CA161-RR autoclavable?
Yes, it can withstand up to 600 sterilization cycles using a fractionated pre-vacuum steam sterilization process with a maximum temperature of 137°C.
What are the storage requirements for the CA161-RR?
The contra angle should be stored in a dry, clean, and dust-free environment, away from harmful chemicals and extreme conditions (-20°C to 55°C, relative humidity 10%–93%).
Who can use the CA161-RR?
The CA161-RR should only be used by qualified dental professionals in hospitals, clinics, or dental offices.
