4 First use
WARNING
Hazard from non-sterile products.
Infection hazard for care provider and patient.
▶ Before first use and after each use, sterilise the medical device.
The SONICflex can be used in conjunction with KaVo tips for plaque removal, prophy‐
laxis, endodontics, periodontology, surgery and conservative dentistry.
The amount of water needs to be set on the dental unit so that the instrument tip
sprays the water with the proper oscillating intensity. It is important to remove all the
plaque to ensure satisfactory oral hygiene and thorough periodontological treatment.
The vibration cleaning of the SONICflex is gentle, fast and easy to use. Using the
neighbouring tooth for support makes the technique easier and and offers easier guid‐
ance. The instrument must be guided back-and-forth easily, gently and quickly. The in‐
strument is placed on the side of the tooth and guided parallel to the tooth. The instru‐
ment should be moved parallel to the surface of the tooth and not the edge to prevent
forming notches in the tooth substance. Professionals recommend polishing the tooth
surface with the KaVo prophylaxis head using the provided rubber cup and a fine
paste to improve the effect of caries prophylaxis.
4.1 Connecting to equipment
CAUTION
Damage from soiled and moist cooling air.
Contaminated and moist cooling air can cause malfunctions and lead to premature

ing to ISO 7494-2.

CAUTION
Missing or damaged O-rings.
Malfunctions and premature failure.
▶ Make sure that all O-rings are on the coupling and undamaged.
Number of available O-rings: 5
4.4 Check the pressure
A minimum drive pressure of 2.5 bar (36 psi) is required to operate the SONICflex. A
higher drive pressure will be reduced automatically within the SONICflex. The air con‐
sumption is approximately 26-33 NI/min. Insert the test manometer (Mat. no.
0.411.8731) between the MULTIflex coupling and the SONICflex.
