Description
The remaining tipCode must be exactly three ASCII digits.
Dental bench and specimen records use supplied codes, sequence identifiers and orientation labels. Literal label agreement and numeric order are separate from verification of an instrument standard, anatomical side or clinical record.
The remaining tipCode must be exactly three ASCII digits.
When to use this tool
Use Endodontic Instrument Tip Code Source when checking a supplied specimen or instrument-record convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter code, expectedPrefix, sourceEdition. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read tipCode, sourceKey. Use the output convention below.
Require nonempty expectedPrefix and sourceEdition and a code starting with that exact prefix. The remaining tipCode must be exactly three ASCII digits. Return tipCode and sourceKey = JSON.stringify([sourceEdition,expectedPrefix,tipCode]).1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| code | Code | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| expectedPrefix | Expected Prefix | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| sourceEdition | Source Edition | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| tipCode | Exactly three ASCII digits with leading zeros preserved. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| sourceKey | Source Key | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |

"input": {

},
"output": {
"tipCode": "025",
"sourceKey": "[\"edition-A\",\"ISO-\",\"025\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Leading zeros are preserved. This extracts a source-specific label without certifying an instrument standard, tip diameter or clinical suitability.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Inspect the authoritative source and actual specimen or instrument documentation before interpreting labels as standards or clinical findings.
