instructions, could cause potential water damage and/or
an overheated handpiece.
• If the presence of water flow from the insert tip is not
confirmed during operation, an overheated handpiece
may occur.
• The use and maintenance of the water filter is key for
optimum systems operation and will help to prevent
potential safety risks, due to water blockage – causing
overheated handpiece.
• Failure to follow the validated reprocessing
instructions provided may result in exposing
the patient to cytotoxic residuals and/or cross
contamination.

7: Infection Control

7.1 General Infection Control

• For operator and patient safety, follow the infection
control procedures detailed in this section.
• Dental devices that connect to air and waterlines,
such as high speed handpieces, ultrasonic scalers,
3-way air/water syringe and air polishing units
generate aerosols. Follow the procedural guidelines
in Section 9 of this manual to minimize aerosol
dispersion.
• The objective of the following information is to
supplement published general guidelines for reducing
the potential for cross contamination when using
a Plus System, Cavitron sterilizable handpieces
or reservoir bottles during routine dental care. In
the event any regulatory agency disagrees with
this information, the agency requirements take
precedence.
• For Infection Control Procedures relating to Cavitron
ultrasonic inserts, refer to the procedures provided
with each instrument.

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,
chemical flushing, and general infection control
procedures. See Sections 8.1 and 11.
• 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.
The Cavitron DualSelect

be installed to allow this unit to operate as a closed
water system.

8: Installation Instructions

Anyone installing a Cavitron Plus Ultrasonic Scaler
Dispensing System may
™
should observe the following requirements and
recommendations.

8.1 Water Line Requirements

• A water supply line with user-replaceable filter is
supplied with your system. See Section 11 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-off valve on the dental water system
supply line should be used so that the water can be
completely shut-off when the office is unoccupied.
• In addition to the water filter supplied, it is
recommended that a filter in the dental water system
supply line be installed so that any particulates in
the water supply will be trapped before reaching the
Cavitron Plus Ultrasonic Scaler.
• After the above installations are completed on the
dental water supply system, the dental office water
line should be thoroughly flushed prior to connection
to the Cavitron Plus Ultrasonic Scaler.
• Incoming water temperature to the Cavitron Plus
Ultrasonic Scaler should not exceed 25˚C (77˚F). If
needed a device should be installed to maintain a
temperature within this specification, or a Cavitron
DualSelect Dispensing System attached to allow this
system to be operated as a closed water system.

8.2 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.
• The system power should be supplied through the AC
power cord provided with your system.
• WARNING: To avoid risk of electric shock, this
equipment must only be connected to a supply mains
with protective earth.

8.3 Unpacking the System

Carefully unpack your Cavitron Plus Ultrasonic Scaler and
verify that all components and accessories are included:
