It inputs AC signals at 500 Hz and 8 kHz into the root canal to measure the RMS level of the signal, determining the position of the endodontic file tip relative to the apex. The device features a 3.5-inch color TFT touch display providing real-time graphical feedback of file movement, supplemented by optional audio signals. An 'Apical Zoom' feature provides high-resolution visualization of the file in pre-apical and apical zones. Operation is fully automatic, requiring no manual calibration, and functions in both dry and wet canal conditions. A 'Check mode' allows for automated verification of device and accessory integrity. The device aids clinicians in determining working length during root canal procedures, potentially improving treatment precision. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. An ex-vivo study was conducted using extracted teeth to compare the performance of RAYPEX® 6 against the predicate BINGO PRO apex locator. The study evaluated measurement accuracy in various conditions, including the presence of different irrigation liquids. Results demonstrated that RAYPEX® 6 measurements are clinically acceptable and equivalent to the predicate device. ## Technological Characteristics Electronic apex locator; utilizes AC signals at 500 Hz and 8 kHz; measures RMS signal levels. Features 3.5-inch color TFT touch display. Powered by 2.4V NiMH rechargeable batteries. Includes automatic turn-off, audio feedback via speaker, and built-in 'Check mode' for system verification. Microprocessor-controlled. Form factor: 350g handheld unit. ## Predicate Devices - BINGO PRO apex locator ([K111474](/device/K111474.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Apex Locator Locator, Root Apex LOY - Locator, ROOT APEX Dental Unclassified (Pre-Amendment) ### 5.3 Predicate Device Identification: Device to which substantial equivalence is claimed is BINGO PRO apex locator of Forum Engineering Technologies (96) Ltd. (Israel), 510(k) number K111474. ### 5.4 Device Description: RAYPEX® 6 is a dental apex locator intended for precise localization of root canal apex. The measurements in RAYPEX® 6 are performed utilizing AC signals at two frequencies - 500 Hz and 8 kHz. The frequencies are alternated and not mixed, eliminating the need for signal mixing and frequency discrimination electronic circuits. The patented signal measuring method utilized in RAYPEX® 6 is based on measurements of RMS (Root Mean Square) level of the signal. Advanced user interface implemented in RAYPEX® 6 is based on high resolution touch TFT (Thin Film Transistor) color graphic display with touch panel. RAYPEX® 6 provides clear real time presentation of endodontic file movement inside the canal. # DENTSPLY International World Headquarters Susquehanna Commerce Center 221 West Philadelphia Street Suite 60W York, PA 17401 (800) 877-0020 Fax (717) 849-4343 www.dentsply.com {1}------------------------------------------------ RAYPEX® 6 shows the movement of the file inside the canal from the beginning of the measurements to the end, providing uninterrupted feedback to the dentist. File tracking algorithm enables full-scale display of the file movement during the treatment while Apical Zoom feature enables high-resolution indication of the file advance in pre-apical and apical zones. Large, clearly recognizable graphical readings in Apical Zoom are designed to enable precise control over the file advance matching the individual technique of the dentist. Visual information is accompanied by optional audio signals. The bars shown in the Apical Zoom do not represent actual distance from the apex in mm: they serve as a convenient reference to judge the file tip position in relation to the apex. Operation of RAYPEX® 6 is fully automatic. no manual calibrations or adjustments are required. The measured signal is analyzed and automatic adjustments are made if required. The device may operate within different conditions in the root canal: dry or wet. Built-in Demo mode of RAYPEX® 6 enables easy simulation of all stages of the treatment and is designed to simplify familiarization of the user with the device. Optional verification of proper operation of RAYPEX® 6 is possible through built-in Check mode which enables easy automatic check-up of both the device and its accessories. For practitioner's convenience the following user interface features may be set through RAYPEX® 6 device setup menu: display background color, preferred sound type and display brightness. - 5.5 Indications for Use: RAYPEX® 6 is a microprocessor controlled device used for locating the apex. | Device Characteristic | Predicate Device
