• Close manual shut-off valve on the dental office
water supply every night before leaving the
office.
• Never operate the Cavitron
flowing through handpiece.
• Always ensure that the electrical connections
on the handpiece cable, handpiece adapter,
and the Steri-Mate Handpiece are clean and
dry before assembling the handpiece, adapter,
and cable for use.

4 2 Procedural Precautions

• As with all dental procedures, use universal
precautions (i.e., wear face mask, eyewear or
face shield, gloves, and protective gown).
• The Cavitron units operate with Cavitron
®
as a system, and were designed and tested to
deliver maximum performance for all currently
available Cavitron and Cavitron
®
brand ultrasonic inserts. Companies that
manufacture, repair or modify inserts carry the
sole responsibility for proving the efficacy and
performance of their products when used as
a part of this system. Users are cautioned to
understand the operating limits of their inserts
before using in a clinical setting.
• Like bristles of a toothbrush, ultrasonic inserts
"wear" with use. Inserts with just 2 mm of wear
lose about 50% of their scaling efficiency. In
general it is recommended that ultrasonic inserts
be discarded and replaced after one year of use to
maintain optimal efficiency and avoid breakage. A
DENTSPLY Professional Insert Efficiency Indicator is
enclosed for your use.
• If excessive wear is noted, or the insert has been
bent, reshaped or otherwise damaged, discard the
insert immediately.
• Ultrasonic insert tips that have been bent, damaged,
or reshaped are susceptible to in-use breakage and
should be discarded and replaced immediately.
• Retract the lips, cheeks and tongue to prevent
contact with the insert tip whenever it is placed
in the patient's mouth.

• To be used with an IV Administration Set with
Universal Spike, slide clamp, and roller clamp
for flow adjustment and an 500ml IV Bag.
The IV Administration Set and IV Bag are for
SINGLE PATIENT USE and should be discarded
after each patient to reduce the potential for
cross-contamination.
• As with high speed handpieces and other
dental devices, the combination of water and
ultrasonic vibration from the Cavitron
create aerosols. Following the procedural
guidelines provided in the Cavitron
Direction For Use can effectively control and
minimize aerosol dispersion.
