Section 3: Precautions

3.1 Precautions for All Systems

• Do not place the System on or next to a radiator or other
heat source. Excessive heat may damage the System's
electronics. Place the System where air is free to circulate
on all sides and beneath it.
• The System is portable, but must be handled with
care when moving. See Section 4.3 Water Supply
Recommendations.
• Equipment flushing and dental water supply system
maintenance are strongly recommended.
• Close the water shut-off valve to the System every night
before leaving the office. The use of an in-line water filter
is recommended.
• The use of an air dryer on the compressor line supplying
the System will prevent condensation from forming in
the air line which in turn may cause "caking" of the air
polishing powder and clogging in the lines and at the air
polishing insert nozzle.
• Cavitron ® PROPHY-JET ® Prophy Powder is a water-sol-
uble sodium bicarbonate powder specially formulated for
use in Cavitron ® Air Polishing Systems. Cavitron ® JET-
Fresh Prophy Powder is a uniquely formulated sodium-
™
free powder that minimizes equipment maintenance. Do
not attempt to use any other cleaning materials in the air
polishing powder chamber.
• Empty the air polishing powder chamber at the end of
the day to prevent "caking" of the powder and clogging
the lines and air polishing tip.

2.2 Warnings

• 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 tissues or into the sulcus.
3.2 Precautions for Air Polishing
Procedures
• Only set the air polishing powder flow control to the
maximum position (fully Clockwise) when it is necessary
to remove particularly difficult stains. Return the powder
flow control to the medium position upon the comple-
tion of the procedure.
• Avoid prolonged or excessive use on restorative dental
materials.
• Avoid prolonged use on cementum or dentin.
• Avoid prolonged use on polished metal surfaces as a
matte finish may result.
• Patients who are on a restricted sodium diet, or have
severe respiratory illness, should consult their physician
before undergoing air polishing prophylaxis procedures.
• Patients wearing contact lenses should remove them prior
to air polishing treatment.
• JET Air Polishing insert nozzles that have been bent,
damaged or re-shaped are susceptible to in-use breakage
and should be discarded and replaced immediately.
• Check O-ring and threads on powder bowl cap to ensure
tight seal. If O-ring or threads are worn, replace imme-
diately. Residual Prophy powder in threads can result in
excessive wear and disengagement of the cap during unit
operation.
• Cavitron ® JET-Fresh
Prophy Powder is a sodium
™
free powder and can be used on patients who are
on a sodium-restricted diet.
