Section 5: Infection Control
5.1 General Information
• As with all dental procedures, use universal precautions (i.e., wear
face mask, eyewear, or face shield, gloves, and protective gown).
• 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 SPS
Scaler will create aerosols. Following the procedural guidelines in
Section 9 of this manual can effectively control and minimize aerosol
dispersion.
5.2 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 6.2 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 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.
