Clinical Tips
- All RACE EVO files use uniform settings: 800-1000 RPM / 1.5 Ncm — no speed/torque adjustments needed between files (RPM per FKG speed/torque chart; torque per IFU).
- The heat treatment process gives RACE EVO instruments their characteristic blue color and, per FKG, up to 1.4 times the flexibility (+40%) and up to 2.8 times the cyclic fatigue resistance of conventional RaCe (per product page and brochure, based on internal laboratory data).
- Cutting efficiency is reported to be up to 1.5 times that of RaCe (+50%) due to the triangular design combined with higher rotation speed (per product page and brochure).
- The alternating cutting edge design, inherited from the original RaCe, reduces the screw-in effect and may improve control during continuous rotation.
- Two standard sequence kits are available: 4% kit (15/.04 + 25/.04 + 30/.04) and 6% kit (15/.04 + 25/.04 + 25/.06) — per Schottlander catalogue.
- An opening file (25/.08) is available for coronal flaring when needed, plus an extensive range of individual instruments for customized sequences.
- The rounded safety tip design facilitates efficient progression along the canal (per product page).
- Each instrument may be used for a maximum of 8 canals and reprocessed up to 10 times, following FKG's reprocessing instructions (per IFU).
Warnings
- Maximum of 8 canals per instrument; may be reprocessed up to 10 times following FKG's reprocessing instructions, without exceeding a sterilization temperature of 135°C (per IFU)
- Use a dental dam when using RACE EVO instruments to avoid inhalation or ingestion (per IFU)
- Use with continuous rotation at 1.5 Ncm torque (per IFU)
- Contains nickel-titanium — do not use on individuals with known allergic sensitivity to these metals (per IFU)
- Inspect instruments before use; discard if any visible defects
- Dispose of used instruments in accordance with applicable laws and regulations (per IFU)
