• Only adjust the systems's power adjustment knob
with the insert outside the patients mouth.
• As with all dental procedures, use universal
precautions (i.e., wear face mask, eyewear, or face
shield, gloves, and protective gown).
Section 5: Adverse Reactions
None known.
Section 6: Infection Control
6.1 General Information
• 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 a.m. to
5 p.m. (Eastern Time). For areas outside the U.S.,
contact your local Dentsply Sirona Representative.
• As with high speed handpieces and other dental
devices, the combination of water and ultrasonic
vibration from the Cavitron Built-In Scaler will
create aerosols. Following the procedural
guidelines in Section 9 of this manual can
effectively control and minimize aerosol dispersion.

6.2 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, and general infection control procedures
(See Sections 7 and 10). Knowledge of and
compliance with agency guidelines, standards, and
recommendations is the sole responsibility of the
dental healthcare professional.
• As medical devices, Cavitron products need to
be installed in accordance with local or national
regulations, including guidelines for water quality
(e.g. drinking water). As an open water system,
such regulation may require your Cavitron product
to be connected to a centralized water control
device that prevents water contaminates from
flowing back into the water supply.
Section 7: Water Line Requirements
• Incoming water supply line pressure to the
ultrasonic scaler must be 25 psi (172 kPa) minimum
to 60 psi (414 kPa) maximum. If your dental water
system's supply line pressure is above 60 psi, install
a water pressure regulator on the water supply line
to your ultrasonic scaler.
