• DO NOT mount the Cavitron Built-In Ultrasonic
Scaling System outside of the dental unit; doing so
will void the warranty.
Section 4: Precautions
• Equipment flushing and dental water supply system
maintenance are strongly recommended. See
Section 10: System Care.
• Verify handpiece fits properly in the dental delivery
system holder. If not properly seated, there is a
potential for the handpiece to slip out of the holder
and be damaged or contaminated. Contact a
service technician for proper fit.
• 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.
• Cavitron ultrasonic scaling units and Cavitron
ultrasonic inserts are designed and tested for safety
and efficacy as a system. Use of any other brand
ultrasonic equipment with Cavitron equipment has
not been tested and may have a negative effect
on the safety and effectiveness of your Cavitron
equipment and their warranties. Please review the
warranty statement enclosed before use.

• 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 Cavitron
Insert Wear 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.
• 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 adjustment knob
with the insert outside the patients mouth.
• As with all dental procedures, use universal
precautions (i.e., wear face mask, eyewear, or face
shield, gloves, and protective gown).
Section 5: Adverse Reactions
