healthcare settings;
• The requirements, and regulations for the safe practice
of dentistry, and;
• These Directions For Use in their entirety.
• Operate the inserts only at the recommended power
settings.
• Check water spray to verify fluid is reaching the working
end of the insert tip. Adjust the water lavage control until
the water (lavage) flows with a rapid drip or small spray
(approximately 35mL). Higher water flow settings provide
cooler irrigation.
• Do not bend or reshape insert. Inserts should be handled
with care at all times. Ultrasonic Inserts tips that have been
bent, reshaped or otherwise damaged are susceptible
to in-use breakage and should be discarded and replaced
immediately.
• 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 inserts “wear” with
use. Refer to the Efficiency Wear Indicators supplied with
your Cavitron system or insert and the How to Use the
Efficiency Indicator section of these Directions for Use. If
excessive wear is noted, discard the insert immediately.
ADVERSE REACTIONS: None Known.
