2 Manual Prophy Mode; 3 Patient Positioning; 4 Air Polishing Powder Bowl; 5 Performing Air Polishing Procedures - Cavitron Prophy-Jet Instrucciones De Uso

• Higher flow rates produce cooler lavage. If the Jet-
Mate™ handpiece becomes warm, increase the flow
rate. With experience the Dental Healthcare Professional
will be able to determine the best flow rate setting for
optimum operating efficiency and patient comfort.

9.2 Manual Prophy Mode

Prophy powder is activated by fully depressing the Tap-
On Foot Pedal to second position (all the way to the floor).
TM
Prophy powder remains on as long as the clinician has the
foot pedal pressed all the way down. In order to deactivate
prophy powder, release the Tap-On
position which will activate rinse or take foot off pedal to fully
deactivate.

9.3 Patient Positioning

For optimal access to both the upper and lower arches, the
backrest of the chair should be adjusted as for other dental
procedures. This assures patient comfort and clinician
visibility. Have the patient turn his/her head to the right or
left. Also position chin up or down depending upon the
quadrant and surface being treated. Evacuate irrigant using
either a saliva ejector or High Volume Evacuator (HVE).

9.4 Air Polishing Powder Bowl

• Use only Cavitron Prophy Powders in your Cavitron
®
Prophy-Jet System. Any other substance or additives
®
may clog the system and will void the warranty. For your
convenience, the prophy powders are supplied in bottles.
Keep stored in a location that does not exceed 95
• A special container is provided with your System for use
in emptying the powder bowl.
• It is strongly recommended that the powder bowl be
emptied at the end of each day. This will reduce
moisture absorption and minimize clogging.
To fill, or refill, the powder bowl:
• Turn the System OFF.
• Unscrew the Powder Bowl Cap.
• With the cap of the powder bottle closed, shake the
powder bottle vigorously to break up any lumps that may
have formed from settling. Carefully pour powder into
the bowl until the level reaches the top of the center
tube.

• Using a soft dry cloth, remove powder adhering to the
cap and bowl threads. Secure the cap on the powder
bowl.
• Turn the System ON.
NOTE: Use only Cavitron® Prophy Powders in the
system. Powder should be kept dry and stored
between 32 F/0 C and 95

To adjust the flow of powder:
• Adjust the powder flow rate by positioning the control
pointer on the cap at H (12 o'clock), M (9 o'clock) or L
(6 o'clock).
• For heavy stain removal, set the control to H.
• For light stain removal, set the control to L.
• The control can be set at any position between H and L.
• The view window at the center of the pointer lets you
observe the powder flow (small white circle of powder)
during operation. If no flow is seen, check for clogging
or add prophy powder.

9.5 Performing Air Polishing Procedures

• Follow precautions listed in the General and Air Polishing
sections of 4.2 Procedural Precautions.
• Place a 2 x 2 gauze on lip.
• Select the proper amount of powder and water to create
the slurry needed using the Powder Flow Control on the
powder bowl cap and the Lavage Control on the
Jet-Mate™ handpiece cable. Use more powder for
heavy stains and less powder for light stains. With
experience the Dental Healthcare Professional will be
able to determine the best flow rate settings for optimum
efficiency and patient comfort. Never operate the system
with powder only.
• Flush the patient's tongue with water to help reduce the
saline taste.
• The recommended normal procedure is to clean 1-3
teeth with the air polishing spray and then rinse the
area with water in order to inspect the work site before
proceeding to the next 1-3 teeth. When using Tap-On
Technology and Prophy Mode Auto Cycle, the system will
automatically cycle between rinse and air polish. When
knob is turned to manual mode, the air polishing spray
is activated when Tap-On
the second position (all the way to the floor) and rinse
is activated when the Tap-On
position. If desired, the bleed air passing through the JET
Air Polishing Insert tip can be used to dry the work site
during inspection (bleed air occurs when the Tap-On
Foot Pedal is released).
