3.2 Precautions for Ultrasonic Prophylaxis
Procedures
• The Cavitron Bobcat Pro unit works with Cavitron
inserts as a system, and was designed and tested to
deliver maximum performance for all currently available
Cavitron brand ultrasonic inserts.Companies that
manu facture, 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 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 Insert Efficiency Indicator is
enclosed for your use.

4.2 General Infection Control Recommendations

• As with all dental procedures, the use of universal
precautions (i.e., wearing a face mask, eyewear or face
shield, gloves and protective gown) is recommended.
• For maximal operator and patient safety, carefully
follow the Infection Control Information procedures
detailed in the booklet accompanying your ultrasonic
scaler.
• As with high-speed handpieces, and other dental
devices, the combination of water and ultrasonic
vibration from your Cavitron BOBCAT Pro Ultrasonic
Scaler, will create aerosols. With proper technique,
much of the aerosol dispersion can be effectively
controlled and minimized. Please carefully follow the

• If excessive wear is noted, or the insert has been bent,
reshaped or otherwise damaged, discard the insert imme-
diately.
• 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.

• A 0.12% chlorhexidine pre-rinse (ORIS ) is
recommended prior to starting any dental procedure.
4.3 Water Supply Recommendations
• It is highly recommended that all dental water supply
systems conform to applicable CDC (Centers for Disease
Control 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.
• As a medical device, this product must to be installed in
accordance with applicable local, regional, and
national regulations, including guidelines for water quality
(e.g. drinking water). As an open water system, such
regu lation may require this device to be connected to a
centralized water control device. The Cavitron®
DualSelect™ Dispensing System may be installed to allow
this unit to operate as a closed water system.
Section 5: Installation Instructions

5.1 General Information

If the installation of your Cavitron BOBCAT Pro Ultrasonic
Scaler is performed by someone other than trained
DENTSPLY Distributor personnel or DENTSPLY Service
Technicians, care should be taken to observe the following
requirements and recommendations.

5.2 Water Line Requirements

• The System's water supply line is factory installed.
Do not disconnect it from the ultrasonic scaler.
• Incoming water supply line pressure to the ultrasonic
scaler must be 25 psi (172kPa) minimum to 60 psi
(414kPa) maximum. If your dental water system's
supply line pressure is above 60 psi, install a water
pressure regulator on the water supply line to your
Cavitron BOBCAT Pro Ultrasonic Scaler.
• 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.
• A filter in the dental water system supply line is
recommended so that any particles in the water supply
will be trapped before reaching the ultrasonic scaler.
• After the above installations are completed on the
dental water supply system, the dental office water line
should be thoroughly flushed prior to connection to the
ultrasonic system.
• After flushing system verify there are no leaks.

5.3 Electrical Requirements

Refer to Section 11: Specifications.
