Deldent JETPOLISHER 2000 Instructions

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEARING JETPOLISHER 2000 CLOGGING

BACKGROUND

Your Jetpolisher 2000 unit incorporates Deldent's patented H.S.T.®
polishing system. This advanced system premixes the air / powder stream
with the water stream just before exit from the single orifice nozzle.
This is in contrast to other airpolishing units, that deliver the water stream
and air / powder stream from distinctly separate concentric or adjacent
nozzles. The H.S.T. (Homogenous stream technology) design, virtually
eliminates nozzle clogging by significantly reducing the risk of build-up of
Anhydrous Sodium Bicarbonate, a hard, white crystalline deposit that
builds up, so frequently, in the lumen of the nozzle orifice, in other
systems. The unique H.S.T. system has been shown to give prolonged
clog-free nozzle function as compared to competitive units.
However, there are other reasons why your Jetpolisher 2000 unit may
become clogged. Careful attention to these points will avoid unnecessary
clogging.
• Damp air supply – always ensure that a quality air drying system is fitted
to the main air supply system of the operatory. The compressor should be
drained of water build-up every day according to its manufacturer's
instructions.
• Loose connection between the dental unit tubing connector and the
connector on the front of the Jetpolisher 2000 - This can result in water
mixing with the dry air supply before entering the Jetpolisher 2000 unit.
Ensure that the connector is firmly screwed to ensure adequate pressure
against the Jetpolisher 2000's connector gasket.
• Occluding the nozzle orifice against soft tissue or otherwise, may
result in a back-flow of water along the air / powder supply tubing in
the Jetpolisher 2000 handpiece, which in extreme conditions may
reach the powder reservoir.- ensure that the sprayhead nozzle is held
approx 3-5 mm from the work surface being treated.
• Never use inferior quality prophy powder in your Jetpolisher 2000.
Deldent's specially formulated and carefully graded JETSTREAM™
powder, is the airpolishing powder of choice for your unit, to give you
trouble free function. It is available from most leading dealers.
• Never use aluminum oxide or other powder in your Jetpolisher 2000.
In the event that your Jetpolisher 2000 system becomes clogged, our
professional staff is always available to offer you advice and help.
However, in most instances, clearing the blockage is a simple procedure,
that, if performed by yourself or your staff, will quickly have your unit back
in function, save you the need to reschedule your patients, and save
unnecessary service costs.
