Precautions; Adverse Reactions - DENTSPLY Cavitron G139 Instrucciones De Uso

Section 4: Precautions
• Equipment flushing and dental water supply system
maintenance are strongly recommended. See Section 10:
System Care.
• Verify handpiece fits properly in the dental delivery system
holder. If not properly seated, there is a potential for the
handpiece to slip out of the holder and be damaged or
contaminated. Contact a service technician for proper fit.
• Close manual shut-off valve on the dental office water supply
every night before leaving the office.
• The use of an in-line water filter is recommended.
• Never operate system without fluid flowing through handpiece.
• Always ensure that the electrical connections on the handpiece
cable and the Steri-Mate Handpiece are clean and dry before
assembling them for use.
• Cavitron ultrasonic scaling units and Cavitron ultrasonic inserts
are designed and tested for safety and efficacy as a system.
Use of any other brand ultrasonic equipment with Cavitron
equipment has not been tested and may have a negative effect
on the safety and effectiveness of your Cavitron equipment and
their warranties. Please review the warranty statement enclosed
before use.
• Like bristles of a toothbrush, ultrasonic insert tips "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 Wear 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.
• Retract the lips, cheeks, and tongue to prevent contact with the
insert tip whenever it is placed in the patient's mouth.
• Water should be used for all scaling procedures. Water flow is
adjustable from less than 10 to greater than 60 ml per minute.
• 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).
