Infection Control; General Infection Control Recommendations; Water Supply Recommendations; Precautions For Cavitron Select™ Reservoir System - DENTSPLY Cavitron Select SPS Directions For Use Manual

Section 3: Precautions
3.1 Systems Precautions
• Do not place the System on or next to a radiator or other
heat source. Excessive heat may damage the System's
electronics. Place the System where air is free to circulate on
all sides and beneath it.
• he System is portable, but must be handled with care when
moving.
• Equipment lushing and dental water supply system
maintenance are strongly recommended. See Section 5.2

Water Supply Recommendations.

• Close the water shut-of valve to the System every night
before leaving the oice.
• When used as an open water system, use of an in-line water
ilter is recommended.
• Always ensure that the electrical connections on the
handpiece cable and the Steri-Mate® handpiece are clean
and dry before assembling them for use.
• Never operate scaler without luid lowing through hand-
piece.
WARNING: No modiication of this equipment is allowed.
3.2 Procedural Precautions
• he Cavitron Select SPS unit works with Cavitron inserts as
a system, and was designed and tested to deliver maximum
performance for all currently available Cavitron brand ultra-
sonic inserts. Companies that manufacture, repair or modify
inserts carry the sole responsibility for proving the eicacy
and performance of their products when used as a part of
this system. Users are cautioned to understand the operating
limits of their insert before using in a clinical setting.
• Like a toothbrush, ultrasonic inserts "wear out" with use.
Inserts with just 2 mm of wear lose about 50% of their
scaling eiciency. In general, it is recommended that
ultrasonic inserts be discarded and replaced after 2 mm of
Section 4: Adverse Reactions
None known.
Section 5: Infection Control
5.1 General Infection Control
Recommendations
• For operator and patient safety, carefully practice the
infection control procedures detailed in the Infection
Control Information Booklet accompanying your
System. Additional booklets can be obtained by calling
Customer Service at 1-800-989-8826, Monday through
Friday, 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. (Eastern Time). For
areas outside the U.S., contact your local DENTSPLY
Professional representative.
• As with high speed handpieces and other dental devices,
the combination of water and ultrasonic vibration from
the Cavitron Select SPS Ultrasonic Scaler will create
aerosols. Following the procedural guidelines in Section 9
of this manual can efectively control and minimize aerosol
dispersion.
ENGLISH • 4
wear to maintain optimal eiciency and avoid breakage.
• 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 low
is adjustable from less than 10ml to greater than 60ml per
minute.
• he DENTSPLY ® power supply shipped with this unit is
approved for use with devices and must be used to operate
this system.
3.3 Precautions for Cavitron ® Select™
Reservoir System
• Do not place the System on or next to a radiator or other
heat source. Excessive heat may damage the System's
electronics. Place the System where air is free to circulate on
all sides and beneath it.
• he System is portable, but must be handled with care when
moving.
• Equipment lushing and dental water supply system
maintenance are strongly recommended. See Section 10:
System Care.
• Pour liquid into the cap opening of the reservoir bottle. To
prevent potential leaking at the cap, do not overill bottle
with liquid into the neck of the bottle. Ensure cap is tightly
sealed.
• Turn unit of before reilling reservoir bottle to prevent
potential leaking of luid. Turn cap a / revolution to release
1
4
air pressure and then remove the cap completely.
5.2 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 lushing, chemical lushing, and general
infection control procedures. See Section 6.1 and 10.
• As a medical device, this product must 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
regulation may require this device to be connected to
a centralized water control device. he Cavitron ® Select
Reservoir System may be installed to allow this unit to
operate as a closed water system.
Section 6: Installation Instructions for Cavitron
SPS™ Ultrasonic Scaler

6.1 Water Line Requirements

• A water supply line with user-replaceable ilter is
supplied with your system. See Section 10 System Care
for replacement instructions.
• Incoming water supply line pressure to the system must
be 20 psi (138 kPa) to 40 psi (275 kPa). If your dental
water system's supply line pressure is above 40 psi,
install a water pressure regulator on the water supply line
to your Cavitron Plus Ultrasonic Scaler.
• A manual shut-of valve on the dental water system
supply line should be used so that the water can be
completely shut-of when the oice is unoccupied.
• In addition to the water ilter supplied, it is recommended
that a ilter in the dental water system supply line be
installed so that any particulates in the water supply will
be trapped before reaching the Cavitron system.
• After the above installations are completed on the dental
water supply system, the dental oice water line should
be thoroughly lushed prior to connection to the Cavitron
system.
• Incoming water temperature to the Cavitron System
should not exceed 25˚C (77˚F). If needed a device
should be installed to maintain a temperature within this
speciication, or a Cavitron DualSelect Dispensing
System attached to allow this system to be operated
as a closed water system.

6.2 Electrical Requirements

• Incoming power to the system must be 100 volts AC to
240 volts AC, single phase 50/60 Hz capable of
supplying 1.0 amps.
• he system power should be supplied through the AC
power cord provided with your system.
WARNING: To advoid risk of electric shock, this equipment
must only be connected to a supply mains with protective
earth.
Refer to Section 12: Speciications.
