Section 4: Precautions
4.1 System Precautions
• Equipment flushing and dental water supply system
maintenance are strongly recommended. See Section 10:
System Care.
• 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.
4.2 Procedural Precautions
• The Cavitron SPS G98A unit works with Cavitron inserts as
a system, and was designed and tested to deliver maximum
performance for all currently available Cavitron and
Cavitron Bellissima® 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 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 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.
• 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 system's power adjustments knob with the insert
outside the patients mouth.
