or face shield, gloves and protective gown).
• As with high speed handpieces, and other dental devices,
the combination of water, air and powder from your
Cavitron ™ PROPHY-JET
Section 5: Installation Instructions

5.1 General Information

If the installation of your Cavitron
Polishing Prophylaxis System is performed by someone other
than trained DENTSPLY ® Dealer personnel, care should
be taken to observe the following requirements and
recommendations.

5.2 Water Line Requirements

• A water supply line with user-replaceable filter is
factory installed on your Prophy JET Prophylaxis
system. Do not disconnect the water supply line. See
9.0 System Care for filter replacement instructions.
• Incoming water supply line pressure to the System must
be 25 psi (172 kPa) to 60 psi (414 kPa). If your dental
water system's supply line pressure is above 60 psi
(414 kPa), install a water pressure regulator on the
supply line to your Cavitron
Polishing Prophylaxis System.
• 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.
• In addition to the water filter supplied with your System,
it is recommended that a filter in the dental water system
supply line be installed so that any particles in the water
supply will be trapped before reaching the System.
• 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 System.

System will create aerosols. With proper technique,
much of the Cavitron
dispersion can be effectively controlled and minimized.
Please carefully follow the procedural guide lines in this
manual regarding the use of your System.
• For maximal operator and patient safety, carefully
follow the Infection Control Information procedures
detailed on the reference card accompanying your

System.

4.3 Water Supply Recommendations

It is highly recommended that all dental water supply systems
conform to applicable CDC (U.S. 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.
5.3 Air Line Requirements &
Recommendations
• An air supply line with a user-replaceable filter
assembly is factory installed on your PROPHY-JET
Prophylaxis system. Do not disconnect the air supply
line. A filter-mounting bracket is included for hanging
the air filter. The clear bowl should hang downward
allowing for moisture separation and drainage of water
from the air filter. See 9.0 System Care for replacement
instructions.
• Incoming air supply line pressure to the System must be
65 psig (448 kPa) to 100 psig (690 kPa). If your office air
line pressure is above 100 psig (690 kPa), install an air
pressure regulator on the supply line to your Cavitron
PROPHY-JET ® Air Polishing Prophylaxis System.
• A manual shut-off valve on the office air supply line
should be used so that the air line can be completely
shut-off, and the line pressure relieved when the office
is unoccupied.
• Your System must be supplied with clean, dry air to
help prevent water condensation from forming in the air
supply line which may cause the system to malfunction.
In addition to the air filter supplied with your system, it
is strongly recommended that an air dryer be used on
the compressor line supplying the System.
