4.2 procedural precautions
• The Cavitron Plus unit works with Cavitron inserts as
a system, and was designed and tested to deliver
maximum performance for all currently available Cavitron
and Cavitron Bellissima™ brand ultrasonic inserts.
Companies that manufacture, repair or modify inserts
carry the sole responsibility for proving the efficacy and
performance of their products when used as a part of
this system. Users are cautioned to understand the
operating limits of their inserts before using in a clinical
setting.
• Like bristles of a toothbrush, ultrasonic insert tips "wear"
with use. Inserts with just 2 mm of wear lose about 50%
of their scaling efficiency. In general, it is recommended
that ultrasonic inserts be discarded and replaced after
one year of use to maintain optimal efficiency and avoid
breakage. A DENTSPLY Professional Insert Efficiency
Indicator is enclosed for your use.
• If excessive wear is noted, or the insert has been bent,
reshaped or otherwise damaged, discard the insert
immediately.
• Ultrasonic insert tips that have been bent, damaged, or
reshaped are susceptible to in-use breakage and should
be discarded and replaced immediately.
• Retract the lips, cheeks and tongue to prevent contact
with the insert tip whenever it is placed in the patient's
mouth.
SECTION 5:

Infection Control

5.1 general Information
• As with all dental procedures, use universal precautions
(i.e., wear face mask, eyewear, or face shield, gloves
and protective gown).
• For operator and patient safety, carefully practice the
infection control procedures detailed in the Infection
Control Information Booklet accompanying your
System. Additional booklets can be obtained by calling
Customer Service at 1-800-989-8826, Monday through
Friday, 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. (Eastern Time). For
areas outside the U.S., contact your local DENTSPLY
Professional representative.
• As with high speed handpieces and other dental devices,
the combination of water and ultrasonic vibration from
the Cavitron Plus Scaler will create aerosols. Following
the procedural guidelines in Section 8 of this manual can
effectively control and minimize aerosol dispersion.
5.2 water Supply recommendations
• It is highly recommended that all dental water supply
systems conform to applicable CDC (Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention) and ADA
(American Dental Association) standards, and that all
recommendations be followed in terms of flushing,
chemical flushing, and general infection control
procedures. See Sections 6.1 and 9.
• As a medical device, this product must to be installed
in accordance with applicable local, regional, and
national regulations, including guidelines for water quality
(e.g. drinking water). As an open water system, such
regulation may require this device to be connected to
a centralized water control device. The Cavitron
DualSelect Dispensing System may be installed to allow
™
this unit to operate as a closed water system.
SECTION 6:

Installation Instructions

If the installation of your Cavitron Plus System is performed
by someone other than trained DENTSPLY Professional
Distributor personnel, care should be taken to observe the
following requirements and recommendations.
6.1 water Line requirements
• A water supply line with user-replaceable filter is
supplied with your system. See Section 9 System Care
for replacement instructions.
• Incoming water supply line pressure to the system must
be 20 psi (138kPa) to 40 psi (275kPa). If your dental
water system's supply line pressure is above 40 psi,
install a water pressure regulator on the water supply line
to your Cavitron Plus Ultrasonic Scaling System.
• A manual shut-off valve on the dental water system
supply line should be used so that the water can be
completely shut-off when the office is unoccupied.
• In addition to the water filter supplied, it is recommended
that a filter in the dental water system supply line be
installed so that any particulates in the water supply will
be trapped before reaching the Cavitron system.
• After the above installations are completed on the dental
water supply system, the dental office water line should
be thoroughly flushed prior to connection to the Cavitron
system.
• Incoming water temperature to the Cavitron System
should not exceed 25˚C (77˚F). If needed a device
should be installed to maintain a temperature within this
specification, or a Cavitron DualSelect Dispensing
System attached to allow this system to be operated
as a closed water system.
