ENGLISH Cavitron® Built-In Ultrasonic Scaler with Cavitron® Steri-Mate® Handpiece Model G139
Directions for Use
Please read carefully and completely before operating unit.
Introduction The Cavitron Built-In Ultrasonic Scaler is equipped with a Sustained Performance System™ (SPS), which offers a constant balance between scaling efficiency and patient comfort by maintaining the unit's power level when the insert tip encounters tenacious deposits allowing the clinician to effectively scale even at a decreased/lower power setting. The System operates by converting an SELV source current into high frequency current. The ultrasonic system consists of two parts: an insert and the SPS™ electronic system. The SPS™ system incorporates two closed loops. One loop provides automatic tuning (operating frequency is adjusted to be at resonance for each insert), the second loop automatically controls the tip stroke over different working conditions. The DENTSPLY Cavitron® Built-In scaler produces 30,000 microscopically small strokes per second at the insert’s working tip. This, combined with acoustic effects of the coolant water, produces a synergistic action that literally “powers away” the heaviest calculus deposits while providing improved operator and patient comfort.

• Ultrasonic Systems should not be used for restorative procedures involving condensation of amalgam. • Not for use on children under the age of 3.
• Persons fitted with cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators and other active implanted medical devices, have been cautioned that some types of electronic equipment might interfere with the operation of the device. Although no instance of interference has ever been reported to DENTSPLY, we recommend that the handpiece and cables be kept at least 6 to 9 inches (15 to 23 cm) away from any device and their leads during use. There are a variety of pacemakers and other medically implanted devices on the market. Clinicians should contact the device manufacturer or the patient’s physician for specific recommendations. This unit complies with IEC 60601 Medical Device Standards. • It is the responsibility of the Dental Healthcare Professional to determine the appropriate uses of this product and to understand: • the health of each patient,
ENGLISH • 3
• the dental procedures being undertaken, • and applicable industry and governmental agency recommendations for infection control in dental healthcare settings, • requirements, and regulations for safe practice of dentistry; and • these Directions for Use in their entirety, including Section 4 Precautions, Section 6 Infection Control, and Section 10 System Care. • This product is designed to assist in eliminating susceptibility to retraction of oral fluids. To ensure adequate protection from cross-contamination from other devices connected to the Dental Unit, it is highly recommended that the Dental Unit be installed with anti-retraction features. Additionally, the Dental Unit, including the anti-retraction features, must be properly maintained and periodically tested. For more information, please contact your Dental Unit manufacturer. • Where asepsis is required or deemed appropriate in the best professional judgment of the Dental Healthcare Professional, this product should not be used, unless used in combination with a Sterile Lavage Kit, (P/N 81340). • During boil-water advisories, this product should not be operated as an open water system (e.g. connected to a public water system). Dental Healthcare Professionals should discontinue use on patients and contact the local water authority to determine when it is safe to continue use of this product. When the advisory is cancelled, the local water authority should provide guidance for flushing of waterlines. All incoming waterlines from the public water system inside the dental office (e.g., faucets, waterlines, and dental equipment) should be flushed in
ENGLISH • 4
accordance with manufacturer’s instructions for a minimum of 5 minutes. • Prior to beginning treatment, patients should rinse with a known antimicrobial such as Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.12%. Rinsing with an antimicrobial reduces the chance of infection and reduces the number of microorganisms released in the form of aerosols during treatment. • The use of High Volume Saliva Evacuation to reduce the quantity of aerosols released during treatment is highly recommended. • Failure to follow recommendations for environmental operating conditions, including input water temperature, could result in injury to patients or users. • Handle Cavitron insert with care. Improper handling of insert, specifically the insert tip, may result in injury and/or cross contamination. • Failure to follow properly validated sterilization processes and approved aseptic techniques for Cavitron inserts may result in cross contamination. • DO NOT mount the Cavitron Built-In Scaler 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 DENTSPLY Professional 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. • 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 flow is adjustable from less than 10 to greater than 60 ml per minute. • Only adjust the systems’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 None known.
ENGLISH • 5
Section 6: Infection Control 6.1 General Information
• 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 Built-In Scaler will create aerosols. Following the procedural guidelines in Section 9 of this manual can effectively control and minimize aerosol dispersion.
6.2 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 7 and 10). Knowledge of and compliance with agency guidelines, standards and recommendations is the sole responsibility of the Dental Healthcare Professional. • As a medical device, 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
ENGLISH • 6
water system, such regulation may require your Cavitron product to be connected to a centralized water control device that prevents water containing contaminates from back-flow into the water supply.
Section 7: Water Line Requirements • Incoming water supply line pressure to the ultrasonic
scaler must be 25 psi (172kPa) minimum to 60 psi (414 kPa) maximum. If your dental water system's supply line pressure is above 60 psi, install a water pressure regulator on the water supply line to your Ultrasonic Scaler. • Incoming water temperature to the Cavitron System should not exceed 25˚C (77˚F). If needed 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. • A manual shut-off valve on the dental water system supply line should be used so that the water can be completely shutoff when the office is unoccupied. • A filter in the dental water system supply line is recommended so that the particles in the water supply will be trapped before reaching the ultrasonic scaler. • After the above installations are complete on the dental water supply system, the dental office water line should be thoroughly flushed prior to connection to the ultrasonic system. • After flushing system, verify there are no leaks.

8.4 Foot Control Information & Operation • The dental unit manufacturer provides the Foot Control. Refer to their directions for use for operating characteristics.
Section 9: Techniques for Use 9.1 Patient Positioning
• The backrest of the chair should be adjusted for optimal access to both the upper and lower arches. This assures patient comfort and clinician visibility. • Have the patient turn head to the right or left. • Position chin up or down depending on the quadrant and surface being treated. • Evacuate irrigant using either a saliva ejector or High Vacuum Evacuator (HVE).
9.2 Performing Ultrasonic Scaling Procedures
ENGLISH • 10
• The edges of DENTSPLY Cavitron® Ultrasonic Inserts are intentionally rounded so there is little danger of tissue laceration with proper ultrasonic scaling techniques. The lips, cheek and tongue should be retracted to prevent accidental prolonged contact with the activated tip whenever the insert is placed in the mouth. • Always adjust the lavage so adequate fluid will be available to cool the tip-tooth interface. • In general, it is suggested that a “feather light touch” be used both supra- and subgingivally. The motion of the activated tip and acoustic effects of the irrigating fluid, in most cases, is adequate to remove even the most tenacious calculus.
• Set the System’s power adjustment knob to the lowest power setting for the application and the selected insert. • Only adjust the System’s power adjustment knob with the insert outside the patients mouth.
9.3 Patient Comfort Considerations
3. 4. 5.
Reasons for sensitivity
• Incorrect tip placement. Point should be directed away from root surfaces. • Not keeping the tip in motion on the tooth. Do not allow the insert to remain in a static position on any one area of the tooth. Change the insert’s path of motion. • Applying pressure. Use extremely light grasp and pressure, especially on exposed cementum. • If sensitivity persists, decrease power setting and/or move from the sensitive tooth to another and then return.
