• The use of High Volume Saliva Evacuation to reduce
the quantity of aerosols released during treatment is
highly recommended.
• Prior to beginning treatment, patients should rinse with
an antimicrobial such as Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.12%.
Rinsing with an antimicrobial reduces the chance of
infection and reduces the number of microorganisms
released in the form of aerosols during treatment.

the best professional judgment of the Dental Healthcare
Professional, this product should not be used.
• Failure to follow properly validated sterilization processes
and approved aseptic techniques for Cavitron inserts
may result in cross contamination.
• 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 tissue or into the sulcus. If tissue emphysema
occurs, consult a healthcare professional.
• Insufficient water flow could result in elevated water
and air polishing insert nozzle temperature. When
operated at the input water temperature specified in the
Water Line Requirements Section 7.1 and with sufficient
water flow, the water and air polishing insert nozzle
temperature should not exceed 50
follow recommendations for environmental operating
conditions, including input water temperature, could
result in discomfort to patients or users. If temperature
is elevated, increase water flow. If temperature remains
elevated, discontinue use.
• Empty the air polishing powder bowl at the end of the
day to prevent "caking" of the powder and clogging of
the lines and JET Air Polishing insert nozzle. Residual
prophy powder in threads of the bowl and cap can result
in excessive wear and disengagement of the cap during
unit operation. Be sure to clean threads regularly as per
Section 10 System Care. Check o-ring and threads on
powder bowl cap and replace if worn.

from the public water system (e.g. faucets, waterlines
and dental equipment) in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions for a minimum of 5 minutes.
