8.6 Performing JET Air Polishing
Procedures with JetShield™
NOTE:
Refer to the Infection Control Card supplied with your
System for general procedures to be followed at the beginning of
each day and between patients.
• Install JetShield™ on Cavitron Air Polishing Nozzle as
indicated on instructions provided.
• Select the appropriate amount of powder using the dial on
the Cavitron™ JET or PROPHY-JET
®
30 air polishing
system.
• Verify that slurry exits from the cup when held outside
the mouth; adjust saliva ejector as necessary.
• Divide the tooth visually into segments to polish (incisal,
middle, and gingival).
• Apply cup to middle third with light pressure so cup flares
slightly.
• Pivot nozzle inside the cup to adapt to incisal, gingival,
mesial and distal surfaces.
• Apply two seconds of spray for each segment of the tooth,
releasing the Foot Control each time. If spray escapes,
readjust cup to maintain flat contact with tooth surface.
Adjust angle by pivoting nozzle inside the JetShield™
cup.
• The suction from the JetShield™ can be used to remove
excess saliva from the patient's mouth.
• After completing each procedure, dispose of clear
JetShield™ assembly according to Federal, State, and local
regulations. Properly disinfect all other JetShield™
accessories prior to reusing them on future patients.
5) Place ejector tube clip around ejector tube and handpiece cable
such that cables drape together for patient and clinician
comfort.
6) (Optional) Place handpiece clip along handpiece, close to
handpiece/cable connection, such that clip is holding the
JetShield™ evacuation tube in place along handpiece.
7) Verify that slurry exits from the JetShield™ when air polishing
unit is activated. Adjust saliva ejector as necessary.
8) Proceed with routine air polishing, applying cup to tooth so
cup flares slightly. Pivot nozzle inside cup, adapting to mesial
and distal surfaces. Apply 2 seconds of spray for each segment
of tooth, releasing foot control each time. If spray escapes,
readjust cup to maintain flat contact with tooth surface,
adjusting angle by pivoting nozzle inside of handpiece.
After completion of each procedure, remove JetShield™ assembly
and dispose of JetShield™ according to applicable regulations.
Wipe-disinfect all other components before next use.
