• Check o-ring and threads on powder bowl cap to
ensure a tight seal. If o-ring or threads are worn,
replace immediately.
• Residual prophy powder in threads of the powder bowl
and cap can result in excessive wear and disengagement
of the cap during unit operation. Be sure to clean the
threads regularly as per Section 10: System Care.

• 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 JET Plus Combination System will create
aerosols. Following the procedural guidelines in Section
9 of this manual can effectively control and minimize
aerosol dispersion.
• 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 7.1 and 10.
• As a medical device, this product must be installed
in accordance with applicable local, regional, and
national regulations, including guidelines for water quality
(e.g. drinking water). As an open water system, such
regulation may require this device to be connected to
a centralized water control device. The Cavitron®
DualSelect™ Dispensing System may be installed to allow
this unit to operate as a closed water system.
Anyone installing a Cavitron JET Plus System should
observe the following requirements and recommendations.
• A water supply line with user-replaceable filter is
supplied with your system. See Section 10 System Care
for replacement instructions.
• Incoming water supply line pressure to the system must
be 20 psi (138 kPa) to 40 psi (275 kPa). If your dental
water system’s supply line pressure is above 40 psi,
install a water pressure regulator on the water supply line
to your Cavitron JET Plus Combination 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.
• In addition to the water filter supplied, it is recommended
that a filter in the dental water system supply line be
installed so that any particulates in the water supply will
be trapped before reaching the Cavitron 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 Cavitron
system.
• Incoming water temperature to the Cavitron System
should not exceed 25˚C (77˚F). If needed a 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.
• An air supply line with a user-replaceable filter assembly
is supplied with your Cavitron JET Plus Combination
System. Refer to Section 7.8 Air Supply Line
Connection.
• Incoming air supply line pressure to the system must be
65 psig (448 kPa) to 100 psig (690 kPa). If your office
air line pressure is above 100 psig (690 kPa), install an
air pressure regulator on the supply line to your Cavitron
JET Plus Combination System.
• A manual shut-off valve on the office air supply line should
be used so that the air line can be completely shut-off,
and the line pressure relieved when the office is
unoccupied.
• The Cavitron System must be supplied with clean, dry
air to help prevent water condensation from forming
in the air supply line which may cause it to malfunction.
In addition to the air filter supplied with your System, it
is strongly recommended that an air dryer be used on
the compressor line supplying the Cavitron System.
