Section 5: Installation Instructions
5.1 General Information
If the installation of your Cavitron
®
SPS
™
System is performed
by someone other than trained DENTSPLY
®
Distributor
personnel, care should be taken to observe the following
requirements and recommendations.
5.2 Water Line Requirements
• The System’s water supply line is factory installed. Do
not disconnect from the System.
• Incoming water supply line pressure to the System must
be 25 psi (172 kPa 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 Cavitron
®
SPS
™
System.
• 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.
• A filter in the dental water system supply line is
recommended so that any particles in the water supply
will be trapped before reaching the System.
• 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
System.
Section 4:
Infection Control
4.1 Infection Control Information
Reference Card
For your convenience, an Infection Control Information
reference card has been included with your Cavitron
®
SPS
™
System. Additional cards can be obtained by calling Customer
Service at 1-800-989-8826 Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM
to 5:00 PM (Eastern Time). For other areas, contact your local
DENTSPLY
®
representative.
4.2 General Infection Control
Recommendations
• As with all dental procedures, use standard personal
protection equipment (i.e., wear face mask, eyewear,
or face shield, gloves and protective gown).
• For maximal operator and patient safety, carefully follow
the Infection Control Information procedures detailed
on the reference card accompanying your System.
• As with high speed handpieces, and other dental
devices, the combination of water and ultrasonic
vibration from your Cavitron
®
SPS
™
System will create
aerosols. With proper technique, much of the Cavitron
®
SPS
™
System’s aerosol dispersion can be effectively
controlled and minimized. Please carefully follow the
procedural guide lines in this manual regarding the use
of your System.
4.3 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 4.2 and 9.
5.3 Electrical Requirements
