Dentsply Sirona Cavitron G139 Mode D'emploi page 8

Section 6: Residual Risks
• If unit is not properly assembled and installed in
accordance with these instructions, could cause
potential water damage and/or an overheated
handpiece.
• Failure to follow properly validated infection
control and system care procedures may result in
cross contamination and or exposure to residual
disinfectants.
• A filter in the dental water system supply line is
key for optimum systems operation and will help
to prevent potential safety risks, due to water
blockage – causing overheated handpiece.
• Use of incompatible medicaments may damage the
Scaler.
• The frequency and decibel levels of sound emitted
by the device may impact individuals with auditory
sensitivity due to underlying conditions which may
include (but are not limited to) vestibular disorders.

5 p.m. (Eastern Time). For areas outside the U.S.,
contact your local Dentsply Sirona Representative.
• As with high speed handpieces and other dental
devices, the combination of water and ultrasonic
vibration from the Cavitron Built-In Scaler will
create aerosols. Following the procedural guidelines
in Section 9 of this manual can effectively control
and minimize aerosol dispersion.
7.2 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
flushing, and general infection control procedures
(See Sections 8 and 11). Knowledge of and
compliance with agency guidelines, standards, and
recommendations is the sole responsibility of the
dental healthcare professional.
• As medical devices, Cavitron products need to
be installed in accordance with local or national
regulations, including guidelines for water quality
(e.g. drinking water). As an open water system,
such regulation may require your Cavitron product
to be connected to a centralized water control
device that prevents water contaminates from
flowing back into the water supply.
Section 8: Water Line Requirements
• Incoming water supply line pressure to the
ultrasonic scaler must be 25 psi (172 kPa) minimum
