SECTION 3: Warnings
•
The use of High Volume Saliva Evacuation to reduce
the quantity of aerosols released during treatment is
highly recommended.
•
Prior to beginning treatment, patients should rinse with
an antimicrobial such as Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.12%.
Rinsing with an antimicrobial reduces the chance of
infection and reduces the number of microorganisms
released in the form of aerosols during treatment.
•

•
Handle Cavitron insert with care. Improper handling of
insert, specifically the insert tip, may result in injury and/
or cross contamination.

•
Persons fitted with cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators
and other active implanted medical devices, have been
cautioned that some types of electronic equipment
might interfere with the operation of the device.
Although no instance of interference has ever been
reported to DENTSPLY, we recommend that the
handpiece and cables be kept 6 to 9 inches (15 to 23
cm) away from any device and their leads during use.
There are a variety of pacemakers and other medically
implanted devices on the market. Clinicians should
contact the device manufacturer or the patient's
physician for specific recommendations. This unit
complies with IEC 60601 Medical Device Standards.
•
Do not direct the air polishing stream at soft tissue or
into the sulcus. Tissue emphysema has been reportedly
caused when the air/water/powder stream was directed
at the soft tissue or into the sulcus. If tissue emphysema
occurs, consult a healthcare Professional.
•
Insufficient water flow could result in elevated water
and tip temperature. When operated at the input water
temperature specified in the Water Line Requirements
Section 7.1 and with sufficient water flow, the water and
tip temperature should not exceed 50
to follow recommendations for environmental operating
conditions, including input water temperature, could
result in injury to patients or users. If temperature
is elevated, increase water flow. If temperature remains
elevated, discontinue use.
•
Empty the air polishing powder bowl at the end of the
day to prevent "caking" of the powder and clogging of
the lines and JET Air Polishing insert nozzle. Residual
prophy powder in threads of the bowl and cap can result
in excessive wear and disengagement of the cap during
unit operation. Be sure to clean threads regularly as per
Section 10 System Care. Check o-ring and threads on
powder bowl cap and replace if worn.
