Section 3: Precautions

3.1 Precautions for All Systems

• 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.
• The System is portable, but must be handled with
care when moving. See Section 4.3 Water Supply
Recommendations.
• Equipment flushing and dental water supply system
maintenance are strongly recommended.
• Close the water shut-off valve to the System every night
before leaving the office. The use of an in-line water filter
is recommended.
• The use of an air dryer on the compressor line supplying
the System will prevent condensation from forming in
the air line which in turn may cause "caking" of the air
polishing powder and clogging in the lines and at the air
polishing insert nozzle.
• Cavitron ® PROPHY-JET ® Prophy Powder is a water-sol-
uble sodium bicarbonate powder specially formulated for
use in Cavitron ® Air Polishing Systems. Cavitron ® JET-
Fresh
™ Prophy Powder is a uniquely formulated sodi-
um-free powder that minimizes equipment maintenance.
Do not attempt to use any other cleaning materials in
the air polishing powder chamber.
• Empty the air polishing powder chamber at the end of
the day to prevent "caking" of the powder and clogging
the lines and air polishing tip.
