2) Pre-apical Zone (approx. 2 to 3 mm before the apex)
When the file reaches an area 2 to 3 mm from the apex, Propex emits an audible tone (2 tones).
On the screen, two blinking horizontal arrows appear.
3) Apical Zone
The apical zone is divided into 10 segments graduated arbitrarily from 0.9 to 0.0 (apex) as
visual information of file progression. In conjunction with the visual information, Propex
emits audible information of file progression via a series of progressive beeps.
When the apex is reached, Propex emits a solid tone.

We do not advise the use of Propex on patients fitted with pacemakers (or other
electrical equipment) for safety reasons.
To ensure that short circuits do not impair the measurements, be particularly careful with
patients fitted with metal crowns or bridges.
Avoid excessive liquids inside the tooth cavity to prevent overflow and incorrect
measurements.
Ensure that the file does not touch another instrument.
Do not expose Propex to any liquid.
Propex must be stored in normal temperature (< 70°C) and humidity conditions.
Do not use in the presence of inflammable products.
Measurements in canals with open apex may provide results with reduced precision.
