Must use at body temperature for expansion
Requires proper glide path (#15 minimum)
Single use only (maximum 4 canals per file per IFU)
Low torque setting is critical (1.0 Ncm)
Contains nickel — do not use in patients with nickel allergy/sensitivity
Check expiry date before use; do not use if packaging is damaged
Inspect instrument for visible defects before each use
