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 5.2 and 9.
• Incoming water supply line pressure to the System must
be 25 psi (172 kPa) to 60 psi (414kPa). If your dental
water system's supply line pressure is above 60 psi (414
kPa), install a water pressure regulator on the supply
line to your Cavitron
• 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 System.
• After the above installations are completed on the dental
JET Combination System.
